I'm super excited to announce the release of lesson entitled, "Metallica HEAVIEST vs lightest song | Riff Analysis"! This masterclass is about how to change the mode of a song. Why, you might ask? The answer is to alter the emotional content of a musical idea. This is incredibly fun and equips the composer with incredible power. Full tabs are below. I'm interested in your feedback on this class and I'd love to hear your own version of this concept. Write two versions of an original riff in different modes and post the youtube link below muhahaha!
