Riffs You can Use


Riffs You can Use - Part 2 Lyle: Here's a looping jam track for you to jam with tonight: Lyle: This is a 1 chord jam track. The chord is Em9: Lyle: Here's a video example on how I'm playing it . Lyle: Anyone here like Satriani? Eric: sure, Surfing with the Alien Lyle: I made up a riff in the style Satriani to go with this jam track. It's a single string melody. brian: yea, I liked that album. that's pretty much the only one I know though Eric: what's your favorite Satch album Lyle? Lyle: Trying looping the TAB or play along to the Looping Sound Clip. Lyle: All of them! Lyle: The single string melody is made from the Em scale. Lyle: Now you'll construct a cool riff you can use over this jam in Em. Lyle: First, learn this Em arpeggio: Lyle: Practice it ascending and descending. Lyle: Next, learn this Bm7 arpeggio: Lyle: Practice it ascending and descending. Lyle: Next learn this Am blues scale: Lyle: You can put them all together to make one riff, like this: vik: very nice Lyle: Any questions? brian: is that how you see patterns when playing solos/riffs? Lyle: That's how I work some of them out. Lyle: This jam/melody is in the key of Em, the relative minor of G major. Then I take scales and arpeggios that relate to the key of G and just throw them together to make a riff, hopefully. Lyle: I made a riff from the GMaj7 arpeggio: Lyle: Notice how the riff starts on the F#/7th degree of the G major arpeggio, ascends to the next F#, all within the GMaj7. This gives the riff a sort of F# locrian minor mode sound. Lyle: Because F# Locrian is the vii m7b5 mode in G. jackson: sounds a little jazzy, ,,i like it. Lyle: Also, notice the last note of the riff resolves to E. Lyle: Listen to the video clip of riff 3 to hear what it sounds like against the jam. Lyle: That should give you a little idea to mess around with. Lyle: That's all the time I have for tongith. ax: thanks Lyle: Thanks for coming here. Hang out as long as you want. Eric: that's great, thanks Lyle! jackson: thanks that was great! brian: thanks Lyle, I can work on this more Lyle: I'll be back each Monday night with another riff or two you can use and abuse. Lyle: Thanks for being here, have fun! vik: thanks Lyle	<< load notation from left
