Kris Norris is the lead guitarist for the band Metalcore band Darkest Hour. I really love his style, it’s so melodic metal. I realize that he is not an unbelievable guitarist by any means, but I think he is equally good at composition as he is at actually playing. I’m not really going to say much more, I’ll just let the videos speak for themselves. These are both from a dvd released by Norris himself. This first video shows how to play the solo from the song Tranquil.

One more video after the jump.

This second video is just a simple jam/improvisation he did.
