In this lesson we'll continue working on rhythm guitar. Similar to my previous riffing lessons, we'll use Phrygian Major scale for this one. Oh yes - this scale sounds wild in riffing stuff! Also you'll meet trills and learn how to use them in small inserts between the rythm parts of riffs. Wanna riff?? Get in here!
