Put the Pedal to the Metal
Looking for some ideas to shed technique metal-style?
In this Talking Technique episode on notreble.com I explore playing a minor pentatonic scale with the roots in between. That can start sounding pretty heavy! Let’s explore some variations and look at the technical challenges and how to address them. I also take another look at why I think playing the roots in between is a good technical – as well as theory exercise.
Today’s tip has to do with relaxing your face – and why that is important.
