Riffs You can Use


Riffs You can Use - Part 8 Lyle: Hi there! Thought I'd show you a few riffs that you could use in your own jams and improvs. Lyle: You heard the lesson sample. It's based in E. Here's a jam track you will want to use to play along with: Dan: very cool Lyle: The main rhythm riff has two parts. One part that copies the bass, then the second part that adds funky chords such as the E9. Lyle: Here's what I'm talking about: Lyle: Next, I have a few riffs to show you, based off the Em blues scale: Lyle: At a slow speed, riff 1 is easy. Bring it up to tempo against the jam track and all of a sudden you have a hot little riff. Lyle: I'm using a pitch shifter effect on my guitar tone. I think I have it in stereo, with one side tuned down slightly, and the other side tuned up slightly. I'm using a clean amp tone, and the bridge humbucker pickup. Lyle: Riff 2 is a good riff to use to show off how fast you can play. Lyle: Riff 3 ihas a tricky element to it. You'll use the pick and third finger to hit two notes at a time: Lyle: The next riff adds a note (G#, 1st fret, third string) not found in the Em blues scale. This gives the riff a "dominant" sound, such as the E7 or E9 chord gives: vold: isn't a dominant sound the b7? Lyle: The dominant sound comes from the major third along with a flatted 7th. Lyle: thank you, i'll try to fix video 3 Lyle: Riff 5 is a cool variation of the riff before: Lyle: That's about all for this jam. Hope you found a few new riffs you can use! aa: without hope there is nothing aa: thanks for the lesson LOL Dan: it's great, I'll be able to use this Lyle: welcome, see you all next Monday for another riff or two! vold: thanks Lyle Lyle: bye everyone	<< load notation from left
