Ayeh Guitarists!
I 've just read some tutorial about guitar playing and I thought I'd
put on some stuff to all of you out there.
It's not a tutorial but some solo pieces.
I've been playing the guitar for about 5 years, so you can trust me
I think... (I hope...)
The following pieces are from Heavy Metal songs, so you better
play them fast (and accurately as well!!!). I don't have a metronome,
so unfortunately I can't tell you the exact speed to every piece.
That's enough talking, let the music rule:
Explanations: P - pull off
H - hammer on
B - bend
R - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
^ - upstroke (the pick moves towards the sky. "Pull")
v - downstroke (the pick moves towards the ground. "Push")
BE CAREFUL WITH THE STROKE DIRECTION!!!

Wow, nice eh? In the descending part you don't have to pick much, but
your left hand (maybe the right) has enough work...
Be careful with the pull-offs, hammer-ons and the slides, they're
VERY important!

You can put in some vibrato where there are longer notes.
(Listen the original!)
Sorry, but I just can't draw the exact lenght for each note, but
it's easy to figure out I think.
===================================
Maybe later I'll put some more stuff onto the Net, just be patient, ok?
