THE SWORD – Kyle Shutt Demonstrates “High Country”; Video
February 16, 2016, 8 years ago
Music lesson website PlayThisRiff.com has uploaded a new video guitar lesson from The Sword. Guitarist Kyle Shutt shows players the trill riff, last chorus, and outro in the track “High Country”.
Notice how the last chorus opens up, he's not killing the strings anymore. Also, the very last riff in the outro doesn't occur anywhere else in the song. Pretty cool.
