In today's lesson, we take a look at some Thrash Metal riffing using the Phrygian mode and exploring palm-muting, down-picking, power chords and alternate picking.

This video contains two examples focusing on what I call On/Off Technique; the ability to fluently switch between palm-muting and letting the strings ring out as normal whilst playing. These two examples use mainly an eighth-note rhythm with the occasional sixteenth-note fragments.

In this lesson, we focus on a Jazz progression played with a Dream Pop sound. It's melancholy, a little bittersweet and gives us the opportunity to squeeze some melody in amongst the chord arpeggiations. The guitar is a DBZ Halcyon running through a Line 6 TonePort UX-1 using the Valhalla Supermassive VST plugin, which is awesome and free!

In this lesson, we take a look at some tasty pentatonic fills to add between an open E power chord. There's some nice techniques on display with slide ins, slurs, hammer-on/pull-offs and we get to use one of my favorite intervals, the flattened fifth.
