Guitar Noise

Guitar Noise is pleased to introduce you to Robert Gravelle, guitarist of Canadian Classic Metal Band, Ivory Knight. Rob is going to spend some time teaching us about some of the more advanced and specialized musical concepts that he really enjoys. First up - tremolo tapping, complete with examples from Randy Rhoads, Joe Satriani and Rob himself!

First time contributor Chris Korsak hails from Portland, Oregon, where he works as a guitar instructor. In his lesson, you will learn some guitar riffs to such Black Sabbath songs as: Iron Man, The Wizard, Paranoid, and Sweet Leaf.

Palm muting adds a nice percussive sound to metal, rock and the blues. This explains how to make this sound and provides a few good examples to use.
