Riffs You can Use - Part 3
 
 Lyle: Tonight I have a funk/rock jam in 
Cm
 
 
 
 Lyle: 
This has a Joe Satriani feel to it.
 
 radica: nice jam track
 
 Lyle: Here's the basic riff that goes with 
it:
 
 
 
 
 
 Lyle: 
Because of the ending chord of the riff, the best scale to use is the C Dorian 
minor:
 
 
 
 Dan: the last 
chord is a Cmin9?
 
 Lyle: Cm6
 
 Dan: yes, right
 
 Lyle: The Cm arpeggio is a good thing to 
know:
 
 
 
 
 
 Lyle: 
The F7 is the 5th in the key of Bb, the Cm is the 2nd of 
Bb.
 
 Lyle: 
Try playing both arpeggios together to make one long 
riff:
 
 
 
 
 
 Lyle: 
Here's a fun riff made from the C Dorian. There's an added flat 5 in it 
too:
 
 
 
 
 
 radica: that 
has a blusey feel to it
 
 Lyle: Yes, probably because of the flat 5 in 
it.
 
 Lyle: 
You don't have to pick each note too. Try hammering on and pulling 
off:
 
 
 
 
 
 Lyle: 
That's all the time I have tonight. Have fun with these.
 
 Rton: 
thanks Lyle!
 
 Dan: ok, thanks 
Lyle
 
 radica: 
thank you lyle
 
 TomW: ty
 
 Lyle: Welcome! Have a great week. I'll be back 
next Monday with another jam and riff for you to use and 
abuse!
