Here is the fourth piece from the Rockschool 2012-2018 grade 3 electric guitar syllabus. This is an Indie Rock piece influenced b bands like Coldplay and The Killers. It's main focus is on open string drones, cross picking and palm muting. Think carefully about the chord voicings you want to use in section E. Watch the muted strings in the double stop palm muted melody in bars 21 to 28. Make sure you stay in contact with the strings and just release the pressure with your fretting hand.

For the recording I used my 1979 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe through a Boss ME-70 effects pedal straight into my Macbook via a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB interface.
