Riffs You can Use


Riffs You can Use - Part 12 Lyle: Hello out there! Lyle: My favorite scale is the Em blues scale: Lyle: Have that playback on the virtual fretboard so you can see the different patterns available. Lyle: The minor blues scale is just like the minor pentatonic (1, b3, 4, 5, b7), but with an added b5 in it. Lyle: Here's a riff made from this scale: jake: can you do modes? jake: i know all of this pent stuff pretty thoroughly Support: we have several titles covering modes in our catalog Lyle: I can do modes. jake: because i want to learn how to play fusion stuff Lyle: Check out the title "Understanding Modes" in the RiffInteractive store. Lyle: Here's a jam track for this lesson: jake: what was that riff using? Lyle: Em blues scale Lyle: Here's a rhythm riff using the E9 chord: jake: so where can i find that understanding modes thing? Support: check out the "catalog" link on our front page Lyle: The next riff is like riff 1 but played up an octave: Support: then you can see titles listed by teacher on the left Lyle: Next is my country style riff. I'm thinking key of E7 (dominant) which is the V chord in the major key of A. This is what I ended up with: jake: nah its cool...haha..cmon im a guitar player...that stuff is good for the soul haha Lyle: cool jake: so yea about b dorian.. jake: i dont get it.. jake: haha jake: does it kind of resemble the b minor pent scale? Lyle: Here's a cool mode I like to use, it's called the Lydian mode: Lit: What is that sound effect you use? Lyle: Low gain 20% - soft clip bass 50%, mids 50%, treble 40%, presence 75% Slight compression used Chorus depth 60%, rate 70% add a little delay and reverb to taste. Lyle: It's the wide chorus effect that gives it that sound. Lyle: Thanks for being here and hope you found a new riff to use in your own playing. Lyle: See you next time!	<< load notation from left
