What separates a professional finished product from a rough, amateur one has a lot to do with the little things. Whether it’s mixing a song in your home studio or playing guitar with solid, precise technique, this phenomenon rarely has much to do with a drastic change. Instead, getting a professi...

That main riff in “Unholy Confessions” by Avenged Sevenfold changed the game for modern metal music. The use of dual guitar harmonies, pedal point, and exotic scales in that brilliant arrangement has inspired, and has even been ripped off by, many artists since the banger came out in the golden y...

Have you ever heard somebody say, “I won’t learn music theory because it’ll ruin my creativity”?  Maybe you're one of those people who have said that. People fear that if they learn music theory, they’ll be boxed in creatively and burdened with rules when music should just be about self-expressio...

This lesson is focused on home recording.   If you’ve got some riffs or song ideas in your head that you want to capture or just want to make sure you don’t forget those ideas, recording is one of the best ways to do it. I’m gonna be using Reaper, which is an inexpensive digital audio workstation...

Alright Shredder, before we start, I have to be clear that this is a judgment-free zone. Everyone’s hands come in different shapes and sizes, and that’s totally okay. What you absolutely should NOT do is let that interfere with your playing. Or better yet, don’t let it interfere with what you thi...

Riffs are what distinguish guitar-driven genres from others. You can play a chord progression and it could be one of a million different songs. However, once you turn those chords into a riff, that’s what makes a song individually recognizable. The melodic structure of a chord progression plus rh...

In this lesson, I get to show you how to play one of the most fun riffs I have ever learned: “The Metal” by Tenacious D. The riff is fast, flashy, and absolutely HEAVY. Not only will I walk you through how to play the riff step-by-step, but I’ll also hook you up with tabs to help support you visu...

If you’ve been experimenting with different scales, you may have realized that all it takes is one note to completely transform the emotional message of a lick. There is one particular scale you can add to your arsenal that will give your playing the extra wow factor you need for success: the har...

So, you’ve got a Floyd Rose bridge on your guitar, and you need to put new strings on it. Congrats on picking out something with the best bridge invented, and also… I’m sorry you now get to restring the thing for as long as you have it.

I have a confession to make: I used to take my Floyd Rose gui...

When a guitarist like you is pursuing speed, you'll inevitably have to learn tremolo picking. This technique allows you to pick notes in the fastest way possible. Unfortunately, pain becomes a roadblock for many of us who are trying to pull off this technique. Contrary to what many might think, t...

I'm excited to show you how to play one of the most legendary metal riffs of all time: “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne. The guitar was written by the late great Randy Rhodes. Randy is highly respected not just because he was an incredibly skilled guitarist who wrote awesome music, but also because...
