Lesson 2
Lyle: Hi everyone!
Lyle: Here's a video sample of the riffs I'll
show you in this lesson:
Lyle: In this lesson you'll learn a few
techniques to try on the 1st string, key of EMaj.
Lyle: Here's the E Major scale on the 1st
string:
Lyle:
Click the media button for the TAB so you can see the scale on the virtual
fretboard.
Lyle: Here's the first riff. You'll tap the 12
fret and pull off to the open 1st string, then hammer-on the notes of the E
major scale:
Lyle:
Practice that riff ascending and descending, at different speeds
too.
Lyle: Here's a play-along track in the key of
E Maj. You'll be able to try any of these riffs against this jam
track:
Lyle:
The next riff has you playing E and A arpeggios on the 1st
string.
Lyle:
The next riff is a little harder. You'll be ascending the E major scale three
notes at a time. The hard part might be that you have to move both hands each
time you change notes:
Lyle:
You can try these riffs on an acoustic too. If you're using an electric guitar,
try using a clean amp setting as well as an overdrive setting. Add reverb
for extra spice.
Lyle: Riff 4 is a variation of riff 3. This time
your right hand is up two scale degrees from your left
hand:
Lyle:
Riff 5 is something that I covered in lesson 1 of this series. It is a 6 string
major pentatonic scale, in E major, to fit with this jam
track.
Flugseug: Hey
Lyle when you first started tapping how long did it take you to callous up your
right hand
Lyle:
Probably a couple weeks.
Flugseug: cool
Ken: it doesn't seem like it would require much callous
on your right hand
Lyle: Just enough of one to get a good
hammer-on.
Lyle: On any of these riffs, try whichever
fingerings that feel comfortable to you.
Lyle: This jam track is from the Riffinteractive
CD-ROM titled: Jam Sessions - Rock Style II. From that lesson there is a cool
riff I'll show you just for fun. This is played by using open string
harmonics:
Lyle:
That's all for this lesson.
