Guitar Tricks 45
Hey everybody welcome back to the Guitar Tricks channel. I’m Neal Walter, your host right here at Guitar Tricks channel and Guitartricks.com/channel is where you’ll find us and we got a lesson and a tip for the week for you right here. And we had —one of our Facebook friends, Philly Rick, has request to show you guys or show him how to play the riff at the beginning of lesson 25 on the soloing techniques, so that riff went like this.
So I’m going to show you that riff, I am going to show you a tip for the week right here it’s how to get some good string bends using this area above the knot, it’s a showmanship exercise and all you got to do is grab a string and give it a little bend right here I am going to try it with one. Cool it away to show off in your guitar and do some extra tricks so if you dub a bar.
So, under our lesson of the week and how to do that riff and also how to use thirds to make some killer riffs down in the open power chord area on the 2nd fret. So I am going to play that riff slow down here is how it goes. One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four, hold on I’m running out of breath.
One, two, three, four, one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and there is that little leak in there. What I’m doing is I am sliding out from the C to the D and the A string third and to the fifth fret and then I’m striking the open B so—and then I am puling up the third fret on A string to the open A. So it goes like this.
The chord of this riff that I came up with is using those thirds. You can use it between the E, the A and the open D power chord and they are really handy and they have been used in rock and roll for years which happen to be on the third fret. They are not called thirds because they are on the third fret but in this case, they happen to be—let’s say you have a E to get to the third and get a little bend and get that nice little bend in there and then if you go up to the A it gradually wants to—E is up onto the A because if you’re bending the E up it is aiming for the A anyway. So you really want to go there so—and if you are on an A it can do the same things with the D chord and you can go back down in same way. Put them back together and you get something like this.
There is lots of stuffs you could do with this really handy little tool be thirds, great little tool to give you some inspiration when you are coming out with new riffs and stuffs and it’s a great way to get around on chords down in that lower position. Good old time rock and roll.
