This lesson sounds great and is very inspiring because it's challenging without being impossible. Thanks, Emir! :-)
Thanks audiopaal, I am sure you can play this with some practicing.
GREAT lesson Emir
Really cool riffs, and I might be able to play it after a while as well
You're awesome!
Just because you asked! I will learn this and hope I can learn it well!
Yes Sir, I like this one.
In good style and useful lesson Emir! Nice job!
Great and rocking lesson Emir
Good to see you back doing your thing. Very cool grove you got going there - awesome lesson!
very cool lesson, i must try to learn this one,
thank you
Awesome playing Emir!
Awesome riffs Emir!
This lesson made the bulb in my head a little brighter. If you know what I mean. Something clicked, I guess because I actually know the e minor pentatonic scale. It will take a while longer to play it but it will be fun trying. We are so lucky to have you here.
Thank you people
Love your phrasing! Also a very tight playing, well done, bro!
Great stuff Emir! This lesson rocks!
Great lesson Emir, it,s got a funky pentatonic vibe to it!
Wow, sounds awesome like always! Unfortunality its to hard for me! But great work Emir!
Awesome man!
I've been looking for a way to practice combining riffs, leads, picking, and pentatonics all at the same time. This one goes on my practice list.
fantastic lesson Emir
great fast runs you have got there
These are the ones you allways think of "what is he playing there, I like to play them too"
Now I finally have time to study them at ease.
Some great rocking Emir!
very groovy man!, what guitar do you have over there ? looks very cool!
Great groove Emir
you rock! reminded me a little to the chili peppers, in the riff
Awesome lesson, master Emir !
Cool track Emir!
Thanks guys.
NoSkill, This should be doable for sure with some practicing. I had trouble with these 16th triplets but after a day I was able to play it with no problem
I enjoyed that man. I think if I can work out the faster runs, this might be doable. Thanks!
Great rock lesson! Very cool tone and backing!
Awesome lesson Emir, very well done !
Thank you guys
Excellent stuff Emir!!! \m/:D
Cool riffing, Emir! Everyone must study these pentatonic approaches
nice
Indeed rocking - great to see a new lesson from you Emir!
Hi
One of my previous lessons was about Open String Riffing in E Scale. This scale, whether minor pentatonic, blues or combination of both, is very common in rock music as it gives many options for riffing in combination with open strings. May rock legends use this approach such as Ritchie Blackmore, Angus Young etc... Some of the most famous riffs are in the key of E. Think of Whole Lotta Love, Woman From Tokyo, Back in Black... The key of E, especially the power chord, has a very powerful sound on the guitar as that’s our lowest note in a normal tuning.
This time I am showing how to extend riffing in E minor pentatonic mixed with some passing soloing patterns. I wouldn’t really call this one a solo as this is typical rock minor pentatonic riffing in a busier arrangement with some fast rock licks in between. Paul Gilbert uses this approach a lot especially on Mr. Big albums.
Use stronger vibrato when riffing with longer notes on the low 3 strings as this sounds more powerful in this kind of rock style. The whole lesson uses just one scale – E minor pentatonic. Learn this chart in 5 positions and you can do a whole lot more with it.
I hope you will enjoy riffing over this backing track and see you soon with some more rock stuff.
