In this class, I'll be covering:
•Basic tablature review
•Finger independence and "position" playing
•The basic "Crazy Train" riff
•"Speed picking" review
•Alternate picking
•The other song riffs (simplified version)

Make sure to check the "Pre-Reqs" section for any skills learners will need for learning this song!

Learning Goals

Students will learn not just the Crazy Train riff, but a list of important techniques and playing vocabulary common to many metal and rock songs that they can take with them wherever they go musically!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching music, singing, and playing the guitar professionally for over 30 years, and have taught thousands of students. I studied classical guitar at Kennesaw State University, and jazz guitar at Georgia State University. I started teaching exclusively online in 2018, and can teach with a variety of camera angles and online resources.
   I teach a wide variety of styles, including rock, jazz, metal, classical, country, 80s rock, classic rock, funk, and more. I also teach a wide variety of specialized playing techniques, like fingerpicking, improvisation, developing speed in scales and chords, singing while playing an instrument, playing and learning music by ear, songwriting, and understanding music theory on a practical level. 
    I can teach anyone from the absolute "square one" beginner who has never played a guitar or other instrument before, to a musician of any skill level who wants to take it to the next level or get back on track with their playing.
