Pedal to the Metal (TT12)

Pedal to the metal

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.

I am playing my Votan 4 XS by Marleaux.
Amplification: TC Electronic amplifier

No Fretwrap today, but when I use it, that is by Gruvgear
