On McKinney Music, “the best independent music magazine in the UK“, Thrash Metal Guitar Backing Track in E Minor a backing track for guitar players featuring speed riffs, all downstrokes and a flamenco chord progression chorus.
Thrash Metal Guitar Backing Track
I wanted this backing track to sound like an early Metallica song. The riff going from E Minor to F# Minor before the chorus is reminiscent of the structure of Master of Puppets and the flamenco chord progression in the chorus is used in The Four Horsemen, among other metal songs.

Scales
If you’re learning to improvise guitar solos, try making licks and melodies from some of the following scales.
E Minor Pentatonic
E Natural Minor
E Harmonic Minor
E Phrygian
E Locrian
During the prechorus, shift the scales above up by two frets and they’ll all work fine. If you’re not sure, play around with this:
F# Minor Pentatonic
