The next section moves on to riffs using arpeggiated chords, again the riffs are played at quite a pace but the idea is to get you thinking about using this technique when writing your own riffs and it sounds killer when you get up to the speed of Andy. By the end of DVD 3 you will be at the half way mark and if you are keeping up with Andy you should already have enough knowledge to write some killer riffs as the DVD concludes with a performance track using all the techniques covered so far.Andy James is one of the UK's rising stars in the world of shred and metal guitar and has taught thousands of budding shredders world-wide through his DVDs and tutorials.
