Man In the Box

Description

Mike will show you the 2 guitar layers in this song. Guitar 1 plays rhythm riffs with a high gain tone. Guitar 2 handles the soloing and a recurring single note melody. The tune kicks right into a heavy mid-tempo groove that becomes the verse. The chorus opens up the dynamic level with blasting open and power chords. There’s also a solo section filled with killer licks.

Tune down 1/2 step to play along with this tutorial.

In the following lessons, we’ll talk about power chords and open chords, palm muting, syncopated rhythms, and bombastic lead approaches. We are in the key of Eb minor, with a 4/4 time signature, at a tempo of 107 BPM.
