Warmup Riffs No. 1

Posted In Guitar Riffs & Licks | 11 comments

OK let’s get stuck into the first Riff of your practice routine. This comes from Shakin All Over by Johhny Kidd and The Pirates. This is one where you can practice and refine your palm muting. You don’t have to palm mute it and you can vary the amount you use, but it’s a good technique and creates some contrast and variation when played along with the other Riffs.

So here it is! Let me know what you think by leaving me a comment at the bottom of the page.

And if you enjoy this, then i’m sure you’ll love everything we’ve got in the Membership site. For more details on this, just click the button on the image below. Thanks, and I’ll be posting the first tuition lesson tomorrow. Andy.

    Hi there,
    Don’t get cold fingers in Brisvegas. Johnny Kidd and the Pirates ” I’ll never get over you” was the first song my band played in the sixties.It was at a club in Blackpool, and the singer sang in a different key to what we were playing in. We pretended everything was OK and finished the song. How embarrasing!. Our next song was much better “Glad all over ” Dave clarke Five. I really like the website and what you are doing.Breaks everything down and makes it simple.Plus gives you encouragement to keep going. Started playing electric about a year ago. Bought a les paul copy out of China $350 delivered with a hard case. These are great guitars for the money. Back to the website. It is great and has made me start playing again. Probably your oldest student, 64 yrs young.

    G’day, G’day Andy, fireworks last night for Australia Day. A great little warm up, do you know that I still have my 45 of this that I bought as a young person when it came out in the UK and I reckon the whole song still sounds as good today when I play it with our band (No alterations or “Jazz” allowed) when playing the Holy Grail music of the 50′s and 60′s.
    Looking forward to more.

    If he’s gone that’s very sad he never got the credit he deserved just listen to the fabulous tone on the solo on Vans Magic Time title track

Dear all...........sore fingers!!!!!

One thing that beginners on the guitar have to quickly expect is some level of pain in the fingers as the process of building calluses in the fingertips takes place. Calluses are hardened skin throughout the area that touches the axe strings and guitar beginners don’t have this toughened skin yet. The strings will penetrate deep on the flesh and cause some tenderness and potentially a little pain.

Many of you may well think about giving up at this stage. That is why it is so important for you to keep reminding yourselves of the fun aspect and how much enjoyment you will have - so press on, especially during the initial stages.

Within a few weeks of consistent playing time, the calluses will form and you will no longer feel any pain in your fingers. But getting through that pain process is often one great challenge that you will often face, but believe you me, it will come good in the end.

That'all........have fun.

Andy

Opinion time. I found this from someone on tinternet who reckons these are the best guitar solos of all time. NOT MY OPINION........but what do you reckon?

Best Guitar Solos of All Time •Lynyrd Skynyrd: Freebird
•Guns N' Roses: November Rain and Sweet Child O Mine
•Jimi Hendrix: Machine Gun, All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child
•Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven
•The Eagles: Hotel California
•Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb and Time
•Dire Straits: Sultans of Swing
•Stevie Ray Vaughn: Texas Flood
•ACDC: You Shook Me All Night Long
•Eric Johnson: Cliffs of Dover
•Van Halen: Eruption
•Cream: Crossroads
•Chuck Berry: Jonny B. Goode

Any more to add in - and why!!!!!

Melody? Skill level? Passion? Emotion? I pulled when listening to it?

Marvellous.

Andy.

Slash has announced details of his second solo album "Apocalyptic Love".

The album is the follow-up to the legendary axeman's solo debut, which was self-titled and came out in 2010. His second offering will be released on May 21. I'll certainly be giving it a listen

It was also confirmed earlier this week that Guns N' Roses will reunite to attend their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in April. However, they are not confirmed to play live together on the night as yet.

Could be a classic.
