In this guitar lesson video, Daniel "Chewy" Mongrain will show the first riff in the Voivod song "The Unknown Knows." Mongrain will also explain how original Voivod guitar player Denis "Piggy" D'Amour's would use stacked 4ths like the piano in the Miles Davis tune "So What." This is the only thrash band site operator and Fu Manchu member Bob Balch has ever heard of referencing Miles Davis. 

Check out the lesson at this location.
