mess around wit hpower chords and what not for E, A and G.

my rhythm i sslightly different, but i got what you're saying.

I like our communication of complex music theory with "daah dum"... we should write a book on this new theory... we'll be rich I tell you... Rich!!!

what in the world are you people talking about. I never spelled riff incorrectly nor did I say it twice... get some sleep 'cause your eyes are deceiving you!

Code: Select all

A
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
--2---4---5---4---2---4---5---4      repeat a buncha times then progress to
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

B
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
--2---4---5---4---2---4---5---4----   for a bit, then return to A
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
----------------------------------

C
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------    eventually you want to do this
--4---6---4---6-------------------
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------
----------------------------------

then return to A and then do a chord like

2
0
2
1
2
0

that 

then repeat....  or just you know use the basic structure thing and variate, this is just a simple method.  hope it helps

edit: they are referring to 'rift' in the title of your thread

haha i saw that too, its just a pet peave of mine, i dont know why but it bothers me

riff - guitar progression

rift - has to do with tectonic plates moving in the Earth's crust

i thought thats what he was talking about too, i was about to tab it out n such haha thanks for saving my time. i know its a common blues riff but the first blues song i learned was called "Hideaway" and its still a great rhythm for drunk singalongs n such haha.
