Haste
Sean Conklin
Welcome to the "Haste" song tutorial. This is kind of a progressive/hardcore/metal sounding tune. There's a lot of intense rhythm playing in this one. Influential-wise, this tune was inspired by bands such as August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying etc. Also, note that this song is in Drop D tuning. If you aren't exactly sure what that is, click here. As always, have fun!

Lesson Haste - Exercise 5
