Sick Riffs: David Rybka takes you on a trippy psych-rock journey with Deepshade's Monster

Sick Riffs #44: This is quite possibly the strangest time the world has seen in generations. Why not double up on the weird factor and give this psych/alt-rock riff a go? 

Deepshade guitarist/vocalist David Rybka joins Guitar World to teach you how to play Monster, from British alt-rock trio Deepshade's sophomore album, Soul Divider.

The wacky six-stringer plays a Fender Telecaster electric guitar through a Marshall MG Series 100 amp and a ProCo Rat Distortion pedal.

"It's a bad time for all, all gigs cancelled," says Rybka. "COVID-19 has stopped us practicing - the rooms we rent are struggling to make ends meet as no bands can practice there. It's been a huge impact on our salary, so we've just got to sit this one out and await the return of live music..."
