Bright Blue Sky (Verse)
Added 2021-11-21 15:53:26 +0000 UTCHere's a new one for you all. Hope you're excited for the new record. I know I am!!
This riff can be broken up into a few ideas or motifs. A good riff can be thought of this way, where you have a few short ideas (3-6 notes) and the order of them is shuffled around. You can learn this riff by breaking up this way as well. Below are a few of these motifs:
-----------------
-----------------
-----------------
-----------------
------3-----3---
-3-5---3-5-----
---------------
---------------
---------------
-1h2----------
-------1-2-3--
----------------
------------------------
------------------------
------------------------
---------------1p0----
-6h5-3--or--------3--
------------------------
There's a few position changes required to play this too, which is important to be aware of. It's mostly in the 3rd position, but in measure 5 you'll shift to position 1. In measure 10 you'll switch to position 2. In measure 14 you'll switch to position 4. Knowing this will help dictate which fingers to use for what notes.
TAB is attached, drop any questions down below!

2022-01-13 20:00:06 +0000 UTCHey Phobs! Question about this riff. After the first chorus there is a little fill going into the second verse. How do you play that?
2022-01-09 17:44:31 +0000 UTCWhat's happening chord-wise in this song? Sounds like a lot and I'm very intrigued!
