Music News: Rockin’ Guitar Lesson with a Megadeth Riff is Online
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- The crew at Guitar Control has posted a new tutorial on You Tube that contains a hard rockin’ riff from the tune entitled Holy Wars…The Punishment Due, which is off the highly acclaimed 1990 Megadeth album, Rust In Peace. The able instructor in this quick clip is Silvio Gazquez, a skilled guitarist and long time tutor with the company. For folks who aren’t familiar with him, he was recently selected as a finalist in the international Guitar Idol contest not once but twice, so he certainly knows his stuff when it comes to working the six-string.
This is the latest in what’s called the Lick of the Day Series, as the lessons always entail a lick or guitar riff from a notable and usually well known song. This riff is in E minor and it involves chromatisms, which are effective exercises that are of course built off the chromatic scale. Moreover, they’re considered ideal for increasing certain abilities such as speed and accuracy. In addition, Megadeth tabs are included in order to show where the fingers are supposed to go on the fretboard in order to play each note in the guitar riff.
Megadeth is an American thrash metal band that was formed in California in 1983 by the lead singer, Dave Mustaine. They eventually became world renowned for their super heavy sound and due to the 14 studio albums that they recorded throughout the course of their career. In fact, they are still performing today and those who are interested in seeing their ultra-energized show should be able to find upcoming tour dates on the band’s official website.
So, for people who are wondering how to play guitar riffs, Silvio’s lessons may be a good starting point, and this one should obviously be ideal for those that want to learn how to play Megadeth. In fact, there’s a whole lot more where this came from, seeing as though Guitar Control currently has almost 339 free guitar lessons on You Tube, plus additional assistance on their own website. Perhaps that’s why this company is becoming the place to go in cyberspace for proficient info on almost anything to do with the six-string?
