Drop D Metal Guitar Lick #2

Another Drop D tuning metal guitar lick (down a half step). This one makes a good alternate picking exercise as it involves a lot of string crossing. Tab is provided so this should be fairly straight forward for beginner and inetermediate players. Try altering the amount of palm muting and the tempo for a different sound. Cheers.
Happy Canada Day!

80's ish Metal Guitar Riff

I'm a big fan of 80's metal. So when a youtube user requested a metal guitar riff that is naturally where my thoughts went. This guitar lick/riff also hints at some neo-classical elements but only slightly. If this is a bit too 80's - I'll ask the user to let me know and I'll do some more modern metal guitar licks. The video diverges from the tab at the end of the passage just to add some closure to the riff. As usual I'm tuned down a half step if you want to play along. Keep the requests coming!

Drop D down 1.5 Metal Guitar Triplet Lick

This is a triplet based metal guitar lick tuned in what I call "Slipknot tuning" because this band uses it a lot.Drop D Tuning down 1 and 1/2 steps. B,Gb,B,E,Ab,Dd.
I think this guitar lick sounds pretty cool but it doubles as a useful alternate picking exercise. You can also try economy picking exercises with this lick to take advantage of the direction of string changes. Have a rocking Friday!
