Wolf says:
I put in some very important guitar riffs tonight
Student stratman says:
getting late here
Student vidguy says:
Important in what way?
Student mark says:
Greetings all
Student tate says:
right on
Assistant says:
Hi Mark
Wolf says:
Each one represents a kind of riff you should know
Wolf says:
Hi Mark
Student stratman says:
let em rip
Wolf says:
For example, Sweet Child is an interval riff
Student tate says:
I was playing to that
Wolf says:
You should load it and listen
Wolf says:
Were you able to play it smoothly at tempo?
Wolf says:
No takers?
Student tate says:
no
Student tate says:
I'm still working on it
Student tate says:
it's pretty tough
Wolf says:
Good. It has a fingering trick
Wolf says:
Use your first finger for both notes on the 4th string
Assistant says:
click on the tab to send it to the interactive tab window
Student tate says:
oh wow!
Wolf says:
Keep the fingering identical on every part of the riff except the first note of each bar
Student tate says:
I didn't know it did that!
Student tate says:
cool and you can see it played on the neck too
Student stratman says:
mine won't do that
Wolf says:
Keep trying
Student tate says:
it's tough
Wolf says:
Slowly first, always
Assistant says:
you can also highlight the section you want to practice with the mouse
Student tate says:
whoa, very cool
Student tate says:
that makes it easier to play
Student axeboy says:
no kidding, I could never figure this out before
Student axeboy says:
this makes it easy to figure out!
Wolf says:
It's the visual aspect of guitar...live
Student axeboy says:
thanks Wolf!
Wolf says:
You all should try playing Sweet Child slowly
Wolf says:
Pinky plays both notes on the high E
Student tate says:
it's hard on my pinky
Wolf says:
Takes practice.
Student tate says:
what should I do to work on it?
Student axeboy says:
no kidding this is tough to get down!
Wolf says:
Repeat it to build up the motor skills
Student axeboy says:
ouch, ouch ouch
Student axeboy says:
I'm trying to stay up with the speed of the sound clip
Wolf says:
Careful...don't hurt yourself!
Student axeboy says:
I like how it repeats
Student tate says:
no kidding dude
Wolf says:
Do you hear the intervals in the riff?
Student barry says:
I like how the bass changes in the riff!
Student tate says:
it messes with my fingerings
Wolf says:
This next riff is very cool.
Wolf says:
It's from one of the first rock songs to use an electric 12-string
Wolf says:
It was recorded on a Rickenbacker
Student barry says:
really, what model ricky?
Wolf says:
A 360-12
Wolf says:
It's called You Can't Do That
Wolf says:
from the Beatles
Wolf says:
Think of it as being based on a chord shape like a barre chord G
Wolf says:
At the third position
Assistant says:
the last wav I sent loops so you can practice the riff
Student tate says:
the beatles are great
Student tate says:
my parents listen to them all the time and I strated to borrowing the CD
Wolf says:
They had some of the best riffs. The next is also a classic Beatles riff
Student axeboy says:
no kidding!
Student barry says:
I agree, I love the combinations of guitar tones, Ricky, Gretsch, Fender, etc
Wolf says:
That last one was an example of a chord based riff.
Wolf says:
And the guitar tones were great...the beginning of rock guitars well recorded
Wolf says:
This one is a Beatles linear riff
Wolf says:
It's Day Tripper. Which is like a moded blues line
Student axeboy says:
these are easy to play!
Student tate says:
no kidding, much easier than GnR
Student Steve says:
would you explain "moded blues line"
Wolf says:
Good...the idea is not tech here...but something memorable
Wolf says:
Moded blues line means this single-note phrase could be used easily in a blues tune as the main riff
Wolf says:
Moded means modified
Student Steve says:
ok
Student barry says:
yea, like a hot rod!
Wolf says:
Exactly
Student mark says:
Wolf, I tried finding one of your books at the local music store...are they sold there or just mail order?
Wolf says:
Try the guitar center. Which book?
Student mark says:
advanced concepts
Wolf says:
You can order that at any decent store
Wolf says:
If you have problems please e-mail me
Student mark says:
okey dokey... :)
Assistant says:
here's one location mark
Wolf says:
The next riff is a cool rock riff which is really a moded blues thing---but not from guitar!
Student mark says:
where is that teach?
Assistant says:
I'm here
Wolf says:
This one is borrowed from a blues vocal line and put on the guitar
Student Steve says:
Panama
Wolf says:
Book for chords. What style?
Student Steve says:
Student Jerry says:
all styles
Wolf says:
One of the best things you can do is learn chords from the Ted Greene books.
Student vidguy says:
Rockabilly
Wolf says:
Get Modern Chord progressions
Student Steve says:
Beast of Burden
Student Jerry says:
thanx
Assistant says:
ah I'm back sorry guys
Student Jerry says:
it's ok it's alright
Assistant says:
here comes the Layla tab
Wolf says:
Good to have you back
Student mark says:
hi teach!
Assistant says:
hey Mark
Student Jerry says:
glitches suck
Assistant says:
it happens with IE sometimes
Assistant says:
did you guys get the tab yet?
Student Jerry says:
not yet
Wolf says:
Back to the TAB
Student Steve says:
not me
Wolf says:
We'll fire these right up
Wolf says:
How do like that one?
Student dk says:
my dad loves that song!
Wolf says:
It's a good example of a minor pentatonic riff
Assistant says:
I sent a looping file for you to practice
Wolf says:
That was from my CD Riffs of the 70s
Student Steve says:
what Albert King song was it from?
Wolf says:
As the Years Go Passing By from Born Under Bad Sign album
Wolf says:
That was the first vocal melody of the song
Student dk says:
my dad loves clapton
Wolf says:
He's pretty loveable
Student dk says:
I really like EC unplugged!
Wolf says:
Yeah, that has a different side of Layla
Student dk says:
I know how to play that song
Wolf says:
If you like the songs on Unplugged get my CD-book that matches the album
Student dk says:
cool where?
Student mark says:
Wolf you said Guitar Center?
Wolf says:
Any good music store. Its a signature licks book-CD
Wolf says:
Guitar Center, Sam Ash,
Wolf says:
Here's the URL
Assistant says:
Wolf I sent the url on your EC book
Student dk says:
wow, thai is so cool you guys, I never seen this done anywhere on the Internet
Student dk says:
I wish my dad was here!
Wolf says:
The next riff is an alltime killer chord riff
Wolf says:
From the Stones that roll
Wolf says:
It's a typical Keef thing
Student dk says:
wow that looks easy to play
Wolf says:
Be sure to tune to open G
Student dk says:
hey it doesnt sound very good on my guitar?
Student dk says:
what's that?
Wolf says:
Tune your high E down to D, your A to G
Wolf says:
That's the secret: alternate tuning
Student dk says:
I,ve never done that before
Student tate says:
this is cool to jam too
Wolf says:
There's a first time for everything
Wolf says:
It has a great groove
Student dk says:
I'm up for that
Wolf says:
From my Rolling stones signature licks CD-book
Student tate says:
Wolf did you play these?
Wolf says:
Actually dk, you're down for that
Wolf says:
Yes I plyed them all
Student tate says:
very cool
Wolf says:
It was a lot of fun
Student vidguy says:
going back to layla.. there is a little riff in the background there..
Wolf says:
There are sveral guitars on there
Student vidguy says:
A kinda 9th fret 7th fret thing going downward..
Student vidguy says:
what is that Wolf?
Student vidguy says:
I'm hung on Layla.. It sounds so nice...
Student mark says:
well guys...take care...thanks much for the lesson Michael and Wolf!
Assistant says:

Student Jerry says:

Student mark says:

Wolf says:
Then you interpolate the open 5th string with those power chords
Wolf says:
Happy hunting lol
Wolf says:
Two more riffs
Student vidguy says:
Thanks, I will fool with that..
Student dk says:
cool
Student dk says:
i was just playing
Student tate says:
me too
Wolf says:
The last two are hard rock riffs of very different characters
Student vidguy says:
Oh yeah the Keef thing Is right up my alley. I like that a buch!
Student dk says:
cool!
Student vidguy says:
buch= bunch
Wolf says:
Cool
Student tate says:
dude!
Wolf says:
That was an example of a minor mode riff with a pedal tone
Student tate says:
randy rocks!
Wolf says:
It has a semi-classical sound
Wolf says:
He wrote some excellent hard rock riffs
Student dk says:
I hear ya, the 80s guitar players rock!
Student Jerry says:
my first guitar hero
Wolf says:
The constant F# is the pedal tone
Wolf says:
Rhoads was a fine musician
Student dk says:
this is pretty easy
Wolf says:
Good, it should be accessible
Wolf says:
Our last riff is another hard rock riff with a funk feel
Student tate says:
I like it when you use your little finger
Wolf says:
The pinky is important in that riff.
Student dk says:
cool aerosmith!
Wolf says:
Notice the chromatics in that riff and the funk rhythm feel
Student tate says:
my dad has that cd
Wolf says:
It's really a driving riff
Wolf says:
There's so much you can do with that simple E shape
Wolf says:
You guys should practice making up your own riffs based on these few in this lesson
Student dk says:
very cool
Student tate says:
yea, Wolf I like it!
Wolf says:
Pick a style you like
Wolf says:
and write your own
Student dk says:
how about blues?
Student dk says:
like Kenny Wayne
Wolf says:
We covered chord types, intervals, sclar...
Wolf says:
Blues riffs?
Student vidguy says:
All down strokes on the 0-1-2 on the A string or alternating?
Student dk says:
oh yea
Wolf says:
Alternating
Student vidguy says:

Wolf says:
That would be tiring!!!
Student Steve says:
I was hammering 1-2, that's not right?
Wolf says:
All picked
Student dk says:
very cool
Student dk says:
I learned a lot tonight
Student Jerry says:
