PlayThisRiff.com, which is owned and operated by Bob Balch from Fu Manchu, have posted a new instructional clip featuring The Sword’s Kyle Shutt:

“In this guitar lesson, Kyle Shutt will show us Bridges 1 and 2 in The Sword song "Buzzards”. Bridge 1 uses a wah pedal and some pretty massive slides. Bridge 2 uses single notes and looks easy enough, but the sequence of notes can be deceiving.”
