Description

In this tutorial we'll learn a classic bluesy diad riff that's a solid part of every blues player's vocabulary. We'll break the riff down step by step and learn to apply it to a 12 bar blues form with some rhythmic and phrasing variations to get more mileage out of it. Finally we'll play it along with backing tracks at two different tempos to get a lot of practice at applying the riff.
