Easy Metal Lick
by GRX40 (Mar 27, 2008)
Here is a simple lick that has a very cool "metal" sound. I learned this off a youtube lesson, but I thought I'd share it here.
You can play this on any string, and it will sound pretty good. The faster you play it, the better it will sound, so try to play 8th or even 6th notes. Also, when you play the 12th fret at the end, try to wiggle your finger and make a vibrato sound.
Sorry, I don't know what key this in. Probably a Minor scale though. (E minor, if played on the E string, maybe?)
