Today we will talk about speed metal. This form to touch metal began with bands like Stratovarius, Helloween etc.

I used 2 techniques in this lesson: sweep picking & string skipping to create this solo based on Luca turilli´s style.

Welcome to a new series. This time we'll pay some attention on different Meters. The main goal of this lesson is learn some options to scape for a while from classic 4/4 bars.

Pavel presents a riffing style very often used by Luca Turilli's film-score metal band Rhapsody of Fire. If you are a power-metal fan then you should definitely check this out!

Listening to Rhapsody and Luca's solo albums really got me into this kind of music and now i am working on heavily incorporating it into my playing style. This solo is written in F# harmonic minor scale, using some flat 5ths in some places and also some phrygian major scale runs. If you need a good excercise for your alternate picking and muting - this is the right one for you. You'll also find some sweep picking here!

In this lesson I cover the style of Black Veil Brides band that combines metalcore with glam metal.

A power metal rhythm lesson inspired in the style of Angra, Stratovarius, Rhapsody of Fire and Sonata Arctica. When I finished the guitar work I recorded some orchestra arrangements based in a style created by the band Rhapsody of Fire called "Hollywood Metal".

Pavel gives a second Rhapsody of Fire style lesson! This time we will improve riffs and add a bit more touch to them. This lesson also has a bit more difficult rhythm.
