Guthrie Govan Style Lick Tutorial (Advanced) w/ Free Tabs - Bar Breakdown EP.02 - Michael Hermes Michael Hermes 2020-05-29 | Advanced Guthrie Govan style lick tutorial by Michael Hermes. This is Bar Breakdown EP. 02. Free tabs are available down below!The lick in this tutorial is from original song, 'Uplift'. I don't see too many advanced lick tutorials/breakdowns on YouTube, so I thought this would be a great one to cover for Bar Breakdown EP. 02. This one falls into the Guthrie Govan playing style, mixing rhythm with sweeping, tapping and chromatic phrasing. Practice this one slow to make sure your technique is on point! The free tabs for this solo are available here:michaelhermesmusic.com/store/barbreakdownep02My gear:- Guitar: Kiesel CT624- Amp: Friedman BE-100- DAW: Cubase- FX: Valhalla/Waves, TC ElectronicLearn more:- Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2kjGdQo- Instagram:http://bit.ly/2RsmZWB- Facebook: http://bit.ly/2U5kxaj- Website: bit.ly/3e745N8#michaelhermes #barbreakdown

Jakub Zytecki - Fall of Logic (excerpt) Michael Hermes 2020-05-17 | Covering one of my favorite breakdowns from Jakub Zytecki. Quarantine boredom is getting to me so I thought I'd have some fun with this one!I'll admit that this one was a challenge. The song in itself is madness (from the progmetal section to the soft atmospheric piano + vocals that occur right before the section that my video covers). Props to Jakub for creating such a nice balance between math metal and ambient/melody!Learn more:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2kjGdQoInstagram:http://bit.ly/2RsmZWBFacebook: http://bit.ly/2U5kxajWebsite: bit.ly/3e745N8#progrock #kieselguitars
