We come from the land of ice and snow,

Use the pick open until you get to the chord changes for the chorus (see directions above). If you can, give the pick a little bit wider of a gap for the main riff/intro by sticking you index finger in between the pick and pushing the two apart. Jimmy Page would record the same guitar part at least 10 times over as well as playing it in different positions - he called it his “guitar army”. By using the Double Pick with a little bit more of a gap you can get a “guitar army” effect without a recording studio. |
