Periphery

Walk the line between playing only single notes while also outlining “wide” chord voicings via the use of arpeggios.

Employing finger slides can inspire new and different melodic ideas.

Achieve a sense of movement with single-note riffs that incorporate dramatic position shifts up and down the fretboard.

Learn more about double strummed octaves in this lesson from Periphery's Mark Holcomb.

Throughout the course of these columns, my focus has been primarily on the six-string guitar parts I’ve crafted that are featured in the music of both Periphery and my side project, Haunted Shores.
