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 |

Well, there's much more to scales than this simplified view I posted, but for starters it will do fine I made these two for you using GMC's scale generator. This is the A major scale: This is the C major scale: Now tell me, do you notice any similarities? See for yourself This is A minor scale: And this is C minor scale: Now compare the first two scales and tell me your observations Then compare the last two scales and again, tell me what you noticed!

QUOTE They are the same shapes different Fret locations is all Yup, that's right Now you know the major and minor scale! The next step is to learn more than just one shape! Et cetera et cetera... It's all same notes - the same C major scale, just in different positions. After you practice the positions, at the end you should be able to connect everything and see the full picture: You love Scorpions? Then check out Ben's lessons - lots of awesome Scorpions material there! With enough practice and dedication you can play 'em https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Ben-Higgins/ This post has been edited by Dinaga: Apr 22 2012, 11:14 PM |

Ok, how bout a Small Riff using those 2 Scales, or one of them?? you got something maybe already made up or simple? an Example would be nice a Tab maybe ? OK mate, here it is. We'll be using the scale of E minor, in this position: And we're going to play Iron Maiden's Hallowed be Thy Name riff. Here's the tab: If you have Guitar Pro 5, then download the tab in attachment and try it out. If not, then download the midi so you can listen to the timing of the riff. Notice that the whole riff is entirely inside this E minor shape. This post has been edited by Dinaga: Apr 23 2012, 04:56 PM
