I almost always start my way off on rehearsals or gigs warming up with Iron Maiden's The Wicker Man or Deep Purple's Burn riff It's just simple and in your face
I'd love to shoot all the metal riffs that come to my mind right now, but since you ask for classic rock, you can try Zeppelin's Black Dog... or Rainbow's Man on the Silver Mountain... Simple yet very very effective! Also, Bad to the Bone riff is pretty badass too Actually, I found this site where you have lots of material to choose from http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_guitarriff.html About scales... well, there isn't such thing as the 'best' scale There are scales which are used more than others, but that shouldn't limit you because you can always find a song in a different scale (key), so you should know how they are formed. Without going too much in theory, I'll just say that when you know one major scale, you pretty much know all of the major scales because you just change the position of that scale. If you want more detail about that just let me know And when you know one minor scale, you can quickly generate all of them! So, the good news are - you only need to learn 2 scales - major and minor scale, and you can play a HUGE number of songs To make it even easier - There is a relationship between major and minor scales too! But I won't go into that for now, I'd just recommend you to check this out if you want to learn more about scales: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...-C-Major-Scale/ This post has been edited by Dinaga: Apr 22 2012, 08:59 PM |
