Heavy rock is fun to play, just ask any guitar player! But seriously, before you max out the gain on your amp and grab hold of your vibrato bar, listen to this lesson. E5 to A5 are the changes, but we'll explore some different approaches to rhythm guitar. Subjects covered are: licks that counter the keyboard part, octaves, power chords built off the minor pentatonic scale, licks involving fretted and open strings together, and finally, tapped artificial harmonics.
