Most guitarists think in terms of scales, shapes, and positions.  What if the real secret to writing sick metal riffs isn't just what you play, but where you play it on the neck?

Each part of the neck has its own voice, and when you start treating these zones like distinct weapons in your riff-writing arsenal, your guitar parts start hitting way harder.  In this lesson, you’ll learn what the different fretboard zones are for metal riffing and how to use them intentionally depending on what types of ideas you’re looking to write.
