Riffs

Alternate Picking I

These sort of two way pick slanting licks are the absolute bane of my existence, but its starting to come together! This was right about 115 BPM!!
I forgot how to play both solos as I was recording(I know right) so I improvised and I thought it came out pretty sweet. Such a fun song to play, and the main riff is actually way harder than I thought haha
Finally I put some structure into what I make unlike before where I just compiled some riffs and solos and made them a song. With this one, my main goal was to get used to writing something divided into verse,chorus etc AND getting feedback on how it is.
First Mistake, Last Mistake, Next Mistake, No More Mistakes! Until that one bend...
While being interviewed, Marty Friedman once said he doesn't sweep. Well his floor must be dirty because he wrote all these solos.
I was challenged to learn how to play this song by @[12831:@Adin Shepherd]. Since the first bit is just guitar and Corey Taylor I figured I could use it as singing practice as well. Small Disclaimer: I have been having a slightly sore throat the whole day and I'm not Corey Taylor😅

So proud of how easy they've become! I posted this in the original section but I wanted to post it here to just in case if anybody could see it more and offer me any other tips! The sweep lessons have helped so much!
Adam Shea Music - A little improve on the ole telecaster!
A little improve with the telecaster over some baby making music this morning!!
I was challenged by Ids to learn this riff. I struggled getting my alt picking close to the speed of the original so opted to do it all downpicked. I chose to play 2 reps each of the opening riff and the verse riff. Still needs some work, fun riff to play though.
SynGates.com "Riff Challenge" - learned the opening bits of Trivium's "The Heart from your Hate" with about 30 minutes effort.
I was challenged by @[11619:@Ekrem Taha Ünlü] to learn how to play this riff. I play the same chord twice once after the distortion kicks in(I should have played it once) but that may be because my mental state at the moment is it's tired I'm late
I suck hard at playing to a track as you might notice. Oh well, the riff is really fun though.
I was challenged by @[25:@Ezequiel Romanko] to learn the verse riff of Holy Wars. I always need a good place to start and to end so I learned the first bit too and that Marty Friedman solo too

The Stage

I remember, 3 years ago, when this song was released, I could only play the slow solo. After 3 years and weeks of practicing, I finally managed to play the whole song!

Late Night Jam
