Riffs You can Use - Part 8
Lyle: Hi
there! Thought I'd show you a few riffs that you could use in your own jams and
improvs.
Lyle: You heard the lesson sample. It's based in
E. Here's a jam track you will want to use to play along
with:
Dan: very
cool
Lyle: The main rhythm riff has two parts. One
part that copies the bass, then the second part that adds funky chords such as
the E9.
Lyle: Here's what I'm talking
about:
Lyle:
Next, I have a few riffs to show you, based off the Em blues
scale:
Lyle: At
a slow speed, riff 1 is easy. Bring it up to tempo against the jam track and all
of a sudden you have a hot little riff.
Lyle: I'm using a pitch shifter effect on my
guitar tone. I think I have it in stereo, with one side tuned down slightly, and
the other side tuned up slightly. I'm using a clean amp tone, and the bridge
humbucker pickup.
Lyle: Riff 2 is a good riff to use to show off
how fast you can play.
Lyle:
Riff 3 ihas a tricky element to it. You'll use the pick and third finger to hit
two notes at a time:
Lyle: The next riff adds a note (G#, 1st fret, third
string) not found in the Em blues scale. This gives the riff a "dominant" sound,
such as the E7 or E9 chord gives:
vold: isn't a
dominant sound the b7?
Lyle: The dominant sound comes from the major
third along with a flatted 7th.
Lyle: thank you, i'll try to fix video
3
Lyle: Riff 5 is a cool variation of the riff
before:
Lyle:
That's about all for this jam. Hope you found a few new riffs you can
use!
aa: without hope there is nothing
aa:
thanks for the lesson LOL
Dan: it's great, I'll be able to use
this
Lyle: welcome, see you all next Monday for
another riff or two!
vold: thanks
Lyle
Lyle: bye everyone
