Tutorial

Watch Rob explaining how to play the piece in the video below.

Some essential remarks

• Make sure you play staccato so you truly underline the repetition effect of the Delay.
• Remember to alternate palm-mute and let-ring as you play, in order to respect the piece’s style.
• As Rob does not specify what Delay time you should set up, your goal will be to get a 16th-note “rendition” while you are “really” playing 8th notes (alternating played / repeated note).

For any questions regarding this piece, you can contact Rob directly on his Youtube channel. He will be happy to reply!

A good practice session to you all!
