  Hi Stephane, are you generally hitting the top three strings with this riff? I find my natural tendency is to play with less left hand, i mean strumming hand (I'm a lefty) movement. but this results is a slightly different sound. Or do you have enough control to hit just the 3rd string while swinging your hand from your leg to almost the top of the guitar? thnx.

  That's right, the strumming hand sometimes hit adjacents strings, generaly top strings. It adds a cool percussive sound & punch to the riff and unplayed strings are damping with the fretting hand.

  Hi Stephane, nice lesson!
  Just trying to work out what those chords are. I keep coming up with Bdim7 and F#7#9.
  Am I close?!
  
  Thanks!
- Stephane Lucarelli7th November 2009
  Hi kevvyg, glad you liked the lesson!
  Main riff / solo section are around a C#- vamp, bridge chords are F#5 / F#7#9 and the last one is G#7#9
  Hope it helps
  Cheers!
