06 - muting technique

In this lesson we’re going to focus on left hand muting. Muting is one of the most essential techniques.
One of the reasons to mute string 6 whilst playing a chord from string 5 is to prevent unwanted noises.

use exercise 2 to practice the muting technique
practice with a distorted sound, because the ‘unwanted’ noises will reveal themselves
check the quality of the muting technique by playing the strings one by one
Do you hear unwanted noises? Figure out where it’s coming from. Is there a string not muted properly? Which string is it…
Good luck!!

07- string transition

In this lesson we’re going to check the final technique: string transitions whilst playing power chords.

08 – sliding & jumping

In this lesson we’re going to focus on the chord transitions on the same strings. There are two ways to do this: jumping & sliding.

You can use the drum beat to practice the exercise.
