- Buddha Long2nd January 2010
nice riff - I'm a little confused about difficulty ratings on this site - this would seem to be about a 3 yet it is rated 6, is there something difficult about this that I didn't notice?
- Gabriel Leopardi24th April 2009
yeah! Rock! Thank you guys! 
Canis22nd April 2009Really cool riffage! If this ain't rock, not even granite can classify as one!

"lick 5 has some sweet child o mine in it... if you listen it sounds like a ascening vertical lick of one of the solos on it"

sweet stuff man
- Kurt17th July 2007
Great crushing riff, its true rock!!
I would say its really in the style of Led Zeppelin or Velvet Revolver.
If Jimmy Page would have composed it, it would become a superhit, but you are an Underground Hero!! - odd egil17th July 2007

Hey! I'm very glad that you liked this lesson! Thanks.
Reiner: I use Gibson Les Paul Studio and Marshall Valvestate mod.8080. I record the audio with a Shure Sm57 mic to the Mackie console and I use Nuendo software. The backings tracks are recorded with Nuendo and Reason used by rewire. Finally I use Soundforge + plugins waves and Izotope to make the mastering process.

jammer917th July 2007Yeah awesome lesson.... As always!
This is a real rock lesson.
sb81, speaking of Guitar Hero, this song looks like it popped out of the Guitar Hero 2 game. It just proves this song is real rock material and that Gabriel knows how to create real rock songs (unlike me).
Good Job Gabriel!!!!- sb817th July 2007
Gabriel = Real Life Guitar Hero

Hey GMC! This is my new rocker riff lesson. This time we have an amazing Led Zeppelin style rock riff that combines E pentatonic minor scale notes with some power chords. I composed this one exclusively for this lesson but maybe it will become a nice rock song in the future. Then we have an easy solo over pentatonic minor that combines some Jimmy Page licks with Slash’s licks and warm sound.
In this lesson we’ll talk about legato, single and double string bending, vibrato, changing the pick up in the middle of a solo and using the b5 as a right note and not as a passing note.
Tempo: 105 BPM
Key: E minor
Let’s rock!
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
