Chop Builders
This chapter is made for building up our Guitar Muscles. We want:
- fast and powerful Alternate Picking (16th notes at 190/200bpm)
- precise fretting hand
- clean legato
- perfect muting
- perfect timing
- a great overall control of the guitar
- knowledge on how to harmonize guitar parts and main musical scales
- and more
If you already have these skills and you want to explore complex techniques (tapping, sweep picking, slap etc.), complex music theory (time signature changes, complex chords) and metal styling the Advance Chapter is for you.
There's a video down here. It collects some bits of the Intermediate Chapter. If you think you're able to play everything in it easily you can go to the Advanced Chapter.
BRIEF VIDEO PREVIEW
Small bits of the Intermediate Chapters. There's way ... waaaaaay more than this. But if you want to get an idea, you can. The last fragment is the last mini-metal song of the chapter. If you think you're able to play it, chances are that the Avanced Chapter is for you.
