Today we’re going to look at introductions and fills within a song, to give you an idea of what I mean, here is an intro to one of my songs.

This is used by a lot of bands, including Metallica, Iced Earth, Judas Priest, and Trivium etc.

You can harmonise intros, which I will explain in a later lesson. This is used by Iron Maiden, and you need another guitarist or a harmoniser when playing live. In the studio you could use another track.

Another example is Iced Earth’s “attila”.

Try coming up with your own until I put the harmonisation lesson on here. have fun.
