Mind Melt
Sean Conklin
Hello everyone! Welcome to this song tutorial called "Mind Melt". This is a short clip taken from a song I'm currently writing. I hope you enjoy it! We're going to be learning some significantly intense rhythm playing in this tutorial. Make sure you thoroughly stretch your arms and hands before diving into the riffs. Also, please note that this piece is in Drop D tuning. If you aren't exactly sure what that is, click here. I'll see you on the next page for Exercise 1!
