Hi GMC´ers, Lian´s here once again, this time with something really interesting. Today I wanna talk about "Feelings".
Well, as some of you know, I like extreme music, every metal style for me is really cool. I take a shower listen to Black Metal, eat my breakfast listen to Death Metal, and so on. :P
But beyond that, there are a lot of possibilities to feel music, so, sometimes, I find myself looking for a few simple notes full of feelings.
In this lesson, I´ll show you how a few notes can sing. Yes, goal here´s that your guitar finds its voice. Thousand times you´ve heard: "Music is the language of spirit" well, it´s time to sing in that language ;)
Take this lesson step by step and have fun.
Chords: included in every video.
Used scales:D minor, G minor, Mostly.
Bar: 4/4
Notes: Eighth.
Tune Down: 1/2 step
TEMPO: 112 bpm
As some of you know, I use a POD xt to rec all my lessons. In my board you´ll find my presets ;)
On the other hand, here´re the settings for people who wants.
Amp model: based on Soldano Slo-100
Drive 9
Bass 4.9
Middle 5
Treble 6.8
Presence 7
Small room Reverb:
Predelay 0%
Decay 42 %
Tone 50%
Mix 43%
Remember: Same settings in other gear will produce a different sound, but, as we´ve talked at the forum, this could be cool for some members, so enjoy!
If you have any problems let me know. Take care.
see you all around.
