I always to have a really cool but easy riff to play to impress people, anyone got one, you know teh one that always impressed you when a buddy's friend came over with him and played it and you said, man I wish I could do that?/
that's what I want, I learn scales but never seem to put together a cool riff of my own, anyone got any tabs to those cool riffs??

Which scale is the best, seems everyone is confusing me on this, G major, then a minor, then ??

I just want a really cool classic rock riff..

The intro riff sounds incredibly powerful and optimistic!

Well the simplest answer I can give on that is - play with the notes in the scale a combine them using different techniques. That's called phrasing. smile.gif It's not an easy task - but with time you'll be able to create better and better riffs. smile.gif It's a matter of creativity, inspiration, musical knowledge and technique!

You can also listen to music you like and try to find out how those riffs are formed, then try to apply those ideas. smile.gif


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 ?

Thanks for all the help, i'm on it today with those 2 scales, then I got a small e book 99 Rock Riffs.. famous ones and will prqactice those they are like one liners so that should give me some ideas!

Any more awesome Riffs I like the Eat the Rich! and Sprint of the radio even though it Fast.. can't See Cosmin's Lol..so can't say much....lol

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. smile.gif
