Learn To Play: Beloved Child

“Beloved Child” is a track that cements the importance of the ballad and shows us how to effortlessly combine shred phrases with soaring hooks, all together filled to the brim with feeling.

At its anthemic core, Beloved Child is built around a shifting slide heavy core melody. Dotted around it are offshoots of fusion, rock, jazz and even some metal inspired sweep picking lines.

Mammoth bends, carefully placed harmonics, Kotzen inspired hybrid picking, whammy work, pull offs, chromatics, muting and economy picking are just some of the obstacles to learn in this track. The track centres around 5/4 which is a challenge, but one that feels organic is a fantastic opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and become a more rounded player.
