    It's time for something new. We're taking the riff challenge to a new level!

    The rules of this challenge will be the same as the good old riff challenge. You remember that one, right?
    For those of you who don't, and the newer members it goes as followed:

    To join, all you have to do is leave a comment stating you want to be challenged. Anyone can reply to your comment giving you a random lick from the internet or a lick from a song, and you can do the same to others.
    (Try to make sure there are tabs for the lick. You can mention your level to get a fair challenge)
    Learn the lick you've been given. It would be fun if you record yourself and share it here. You can play the lick over the original track or use it in an improv, that's up to you. Don't worry about recording quality, this is all for fun and to motivate your playing.
    After that shout for a new lick, or challenge someone else.

    You're allowed to make requests about licks in a specific style to learn something, or to ask for something new to expand your horizon.

    I challenged myself with a random lick I used in an improv. (Is it really an improv if you’ve been playing it for 3 days? 😅) I’ll post it in the first comment.

    The first official victim of the challenge is @Radu-Cristian Perde !
    I challenge you to learn Killswitch Engaged - Holy Diver, the post solo lick.

    Game on 🤘

    Thank you @Lindsey for the challenge, it actually was harder than I thought it would be! I managed to bring it up to normal speed but it isn't 100% tight... oh well. I really enjoyed the challenge still!! Thank you so much for doing this! :)


    @Dominik Gräber !!! You have been chosen to be my next victim. But before I choose your method of torture, I'd first like to know if you want it: Easy, intermediate or advanced!

    My man!

    Mkay so I challenge you to do one of the lines after the solo of Fight fire with fire from that little band Metallica.
    I don't care which line you chose (as it's an harmony) But I think this is a nice challenge without it being too hard. The speed doesn't matter, just do your best!

    It's the section at 3:00 to be more precise:


    Good luck!!!
