Down Riff Lesson (Part 1 of 2)

Peeper Keenan and Kirk Windstein showing their best riffs.

1. The Path
2. N.O.D.
3. Lifer
4. Bury Me in Smoke
5. Lysergik Funeral Procession
6. The Seed

P.S. What amazed the shit out of me is that Pepper has some fucking incredible downpicking chops - almost like James Hetfield.

[king666nothing]

@TheShredress Have you heard of bands Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar and Eyehategod? All the guys in Down are from those bands.

[TheDim2610]

I'm Russian. So guys can somebody please explain to me what the expression "thin lizzy" means?

[king666nothing]

@TheDim2610 Я тоже русский. ))) Thin Lizzy это группа такая. А само название было взято из комиксов.

[TheDim2610]

@king666nothing Дак а при чем здесь тогда "freak on hormonizing everything"? Типо, что он помешан на преданию всему гармонии или на том, что всё делает мелодичным... Значит "thin lizzy" в данном контексте это прилагательное. Значит должно быть какое никакое разговорное значение. Я тебе ещё в личку зачем то написал, но я тут недавно, так что извини, если что)))

[king666nothing]

@TheDim2610 Thin Lizzy в данном контексте это группа из Ирландии.
