This is my quickly recorded entry. It's started to become friggin' cold over here but I still wanted to give it a go... I tried to throw it all in there... lol: paying respect to the original riff in the beginning, finding a theme to give it a structure, legato, string skipping, tapping, sweeping, alternate shredding and 4 note/string scales...

@metall551 Hi thanks for your comment. I'll try to answer as good as I can:

1) the usual stuff (scales, arpeggios, various techniques, etc.), been teaching and playing a lot...

2) 1h/day with metronome for many years but like I said before I've been playing a lot

3) good question, not to be answered so easily. I recommend checking out some of my free guitar lessons on YT on that subject.

4) the main riff is in Emin/Gmaj, then changes to B Phrygian Major

Hope that helps! :)

Immer wieder unglaublich...

Da ist man selbst über 12 Jahre lang leidenschaftlicher Gitarrist und meint, alle wichtigen "Größen" zu kennen und dann stolpert man zufällig über einen weiteren Schatz der Gitarrenwelt, von dem man bislang nie was gehört hat. Dann noch ein Deutscher obendrauf.

Bin völlig überwältigt! Kein Wunder, dass man dich zusammen mit Marco Sfogli hören kann! Der nächste CD-Kauf ist jedenfalls schon mal klar. ;)

Ich muss dringend wieder mehr üben! Viel zu lange schleifen lassen!
