Riffs You can Use


Riffs You can Use - Part 9 Lyle: I'm running behind, I'll be back in a few minutes... Lyle: thank you, I'm back Lyle: I'll try to show you a few riffs you can use over this jam track in Fm: Jeff: Now Thats a Groove! Lyle: First, get to know the chords used in the jam track: Lyle: First riff I want to show you is made from the Fm scale: Lyle: I tabbed out it going up the 2nd sctring because that's where's most of the first riff is played. Lyle: When I made up this first riff, I avoided playing the root note (F) until near the end of the riff. I thought that way it would "tease" the ear, ending in a good resolve when I finaly didhit the F note. Lyle: How we doing?, Lyle: any questions? sam: doing good sam: what type of music would you call this? Lyle: "Beyond Jazz" Lyle: or Fusion Jazz? Lyle: The next riff is made from the Fm pentatonic. It's a two-handed tapping riff. Lyle: Make sure you click on the TAB and then click again to display it on the fretboard. Lyle: The (T) is your right hand tap. Lyle: The next riff is a short, repeating riff that you can use to climb the neck with real fast. Lyle: v = pick down Lyle: ^ = pick up Lyle: Keep alternating Lyle: Video should be up help to see who the riff is played. Start slow and work up your speed. Then move it up the neck 1 fret and do the riff again. Lyle: Keep moving it all the way up to the 13th fret position and play out of it like this: Lyle: You've moved from one Fm position to another, by playing a chromatic run. Lyle: Next riff starts with a string skip, followed by a blues sounding riff, because of the flatted 5th degree added to the scale: Lyle: Last riff is a simple riff, using the Fm pentatic scale. I played a descending pattern of the wholle thing: Lyle: Simply taking a scale and playing it it some other position or pattern can sometimes result in an interesting riff. Lyle: Hope some of these ideas helps give you ideas to make up your own riffs. Gene: thanks Lyle, good jam! Lyle: Thank you. That's all for now, see you next time!	<< load notation from left
