How to play it
This original exercise teaches muted rakes in a nu metal setting. Start slowly, keep the picking hand relaxed, and listen for even timing before increasing speed. Use this as a free practice page, then connect it to the related premium course for backing tracks and deeper walkthroughs.Practice plan
1. Clap or count the rhythm before playing.2. Play the riff at a slow tempo for two clean loops.
3. Raise the metronome by 5 BPM only after it feels relaxed.
4. Record one take and listen for timing, muting and transitions.
5. Save the tab to a practice list if it needs another pass tomorrow.
