Hey! This is my entry for the pedal contest. For this riff I wanted to try and tell a story with the guitar parts so theres a lot of harmonies woven in and almost like a call and response between the guitar parts but I just video taped the main lead part. I pictured what it'd be like if you were able to dream with your favorite person in the world and could control your dreams and do whatever you wanted in them and that was the inspiration behind it. When it comes to using techniques I learned in some lessons I'd say the Intro to Hybrid Picking definitely helped with this. Specifically within those lessons I used simultaneous hybrid picking, along with the chordal arpeggiated hybrid picking that Papa Gates explains, in "Syn's Tips" he describes the versatility of this technique (applicable to metal, jazz, fusion, classical and in this case I applied it to a more math rock context) and I never understood that till I learned how to hybrid pick. Anyways hope you all enjoy and good luck!
