  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson we will play the rhythm section of a song that I wrote recently.

    Basically it’s a groove in D minor with a nice chord progression, useful if you are willing to workout on your power chords.

    One of the most important things you must focus on is the "stop" technique. Be sure to mute the right strings in order to let others vibrating properly.
    Remember to play it slow and to figure out the chord shape before practicing it at the normal speed.



    Hope you guys dig it!
