Sick Riffs #43: Dave Vanderlinde teaches you All Hail The Yeti's Cold Dead Leaves

Sick Riffs #43: We hope you're not getting tired of learning all these sweet new riffs, because we've got plenty more on the way! In today's episode, Dave Vanderlinde of heavy metallers All Hail the Yeti teaches you how to play Cold Dead Leaves - an unreleased track from their forthcoming EP, expected to drop in the Fall. Grab your tuner, as we'll be tuning down to drop Bb (Bb-F-Bb-Eb-G-C) for this one. It'll also be a chance for you to practice your minor pentatonic scale in a heavy metal setting. Opting away from the typical 4/4 pattern you'll find most riffs in, this one has more of a 12/8 swing feel - so it'll help you practice your time signature-shifting fluency. https://ahty.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/officialallhailtheyeti/ https://www.instagram.com/allhailtheyeti/?hl=en https://twitter.com/allhailtheyeti?lang=en https://open.spotify.com/artist/4LlFjUDKQwSQJPshq4MEpC https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/all-hail-the-yeti/397341897 Sick Riffs is a Guitar World video series designed to help guitarists affected by the coronavirus.
