Power Metal Concepts Part III

Hi, Lian here. Power Metal Concept Pt.III, the final part of our P.M. Concept. Based on bands like Stratovarius, Helloween and many many others. Here we´ll see how to make a complete song in the Power Metal style in 3 parts/lessons.

You must check out:
Power Metal Concepts Pt. I
Power Metal Concepts Pt. II
before start to learn this.


This is just one of many forms or structures that you can find in a song. So, this is just an example. Also you can compose or create your Power Metal Songs with this concept or following no rule.

Techniques we´ll use here are:

2 and 3 strings sweeping,
Palm Muting,
Legato,
Legato with tapping,
tapping-slide,
Pick-Tapping (new),
Slides and Vibrato,
Natural harmonics,
floyd rose.

The Key is A minor.

Scales we´ll use are: A minor and A Harmonic minor.

This P.M.Concept will try to show you different parts of a song. We have intros, chorus, solos.... but... how can we put all the parts into a song? This help you to understand how.
