Djent Style Grooves

Al Joseph is back, and this time he's not being Djentle with you; he means business!

Al fuses many metal guitar styles with his own brand of creativity and technique to produce a melodic and rhythmic roller coaster ride that you won't forget!

We're looking at a classic 5 track pack here with each track bringing something new and fresh to the table. Al shows you exactly how to tackle challenging time signatures such as 7/4, 5/4 and the sometimes tricky 6/4, and GROOVE while doing so! For the theory buffs there are plenty of interesting melodic choices being made from Phrygian Dominant ideas, outside playing with the Whole/half Diminished scale, harmonic minor, pentatonic and plenty of Mixolydian!

For those of you looking to get some gains in the technique department, Al is overflowing with challenging picking patterns, string skipping licks and what metal tracks would be complete without an abundance of tapping? It's not all shred though, Al has some really great moments playing more sparse melodic lines and is an absolute spot on example of how to blend in and interact with your band/backing track. One of the most important parts of being a musician is to listen to the music around you and this guy know EXACTLY how to do just that.

The backing tracks in this pack are a real treat. From driving Djent grooves to 'out there' measures in odd time signatures combined with unusual accent, these tracks will push you to your limits and back and encourage you to think creatively.

As ever, we have accurately transcribed every note and included the TAB/notation in the download, full backing tracks, audio solos and track notes.
