Shred like Italian power metal maestro Luca Turilli.

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

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 the metal world I´ve never met with someone who doesn´t like classical stuff. So, I think if you add some of these licks to your solos, people will say that you´re doing a great work even if they don´t usually listen to metal music.

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!

In this neoclassical lesson we are going to focus on triplets.

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.

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".
