Free Guitar Lessons For Beginners - A Cool Little Riff That Sounds Great In Any Rock/Blues Solo

By Mike Jones

Dear Guitar Student,

A FREE guitar lesson for you by myself Mike Jones from KillerGuitarTips.com

I'm going to explain in this article a cool riff that sounds fantastic in any blues/rock solo.

Looking at the blues scale in A minor. We need to add two notes at the 7th fret on the 1st and 2nd string creating a great pull off riff and we use the same finger technique on each string.

Let's give it a go.

Play the 8th fret on the 1st string with your fourth finger and pull off to the 7th fret (held down with your 3rd finger) and pull off again to the 5th fret (1st finger). Do this on strings 1,2 and 3 and then for your final note play the 7th fret on the 4th string.

This riff is a great little guitar riff.

Please bear in mind that these tips are in no particular order. But on my full guitar tutoring program it's structured in such a way as to follow on in chronological order bringing the beginner through to great player in the shortest possible time.

I hope you have a great week and only stop playing when your fingers bleed!!! Only Joking...

Before leaving you I would like to give you another FREE mini guitar lesson...

So, to finish here's a cool pentatonic trick that will make any budding guitarist sound like a pro in any guitar solo. Simply learn the pentatonic scale on one string then pull eac h note off to the open string.

Taking the 1st string (top E) and the minor pentatonic scale. We'll start with the open E then 3rd fret (G), 5th fret (A), 7th fret (B), 10th fret (D) and the 12th fret (E).

Play the open E, then play the G and pull off to the open string. Then play the A at the 5th fret and pull off to the open string.

Continue this up the string following the scale for a Killer Guitar Riff...

If you find this a little difficult to understand, don't forget that the full Killer Guitar Tips program has full audio and video on DVD so you can see exactly what is required and where to play. It is just like having me sat in front of you showing you step by step one note at a time. And you will be able to replay any part over and over again until you are happy.

OK, that's it for now and I will catch up with you again next time with more FREE guitar lessons.

Have fun.

Mike Jones
