  • Well guys, welcome to another lesson. This time, one very very special for me, and for many people around the world.

    The first X-Japan lesson on the GMC screen. So I hope you find interesting this lesson beside if you know X-Japan or not.

    This lesson, is exclusively for Hide, from my heart!
    Hide (Matsumoto Hideto) was the guitarist of this awesome band and one of the best metal/rock artist from japan ever!

    I hope you enjoy this tribute, as I enjoyed composing it.

    You´ll find more info about Hide and X-Japan in my board. HERE.

    About the lesson, I´ve composed this lesson exclusively based on the song Silent Jealousy. Here you´ll find some fast riff, nice melodies, and a X-japan atmosphere through the whole lesson.

    Take this lesson step by step and ask whatever you need!

    HIDE 1964-1998 R.I.P. man, wherever you are!

    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 them..
