What's up [N] everybody?
It's John here from JohnnyOctave.com and I am stoked as always to be here showing you
guys some guitar and today I have a super cool riff for you guys.
The blues riff from the Buddy Guy tune, What Kind of Woman is This?
So it's going to be a pretty hip lesson on, if any of you out there are just kind of getting
into the lead guitar thing, maybe you're learning some pentatonic scales, some blues scales,
getting some licks underneath your fingers.
This is going to be a cool lesson on how you can use those same kinds of patterns and notes
to make a main riff in a song happen.
Obviously I just played the intro to the tune and it's not a lead guitar part.
But the same kind of note choices from pentatonic and blues scales are being used here.
Cool lesson on that.
Let me zoom in and show you what's up.
Alright everybody, let me show you what's happening here in this riff.
So what you're going to do is you're going to start out with the low E [E] string open.
Just like that.
Then immediately afterwards what you're going to [Em] do is a quick upstroke on the high E string
and B [Ab] string.
Okay, these two guys.
[Em]
And then what you're going to do [F] is you're going to mute, this is how I do it, you're
going to mute with your right hand.
So you're going to go down [E] on the low E and then up on the high E string and B string
and then mute with your palm right there.
Okay, just put it down, it kind of deadens the notes there.
Some separation in the riff right there.
Okay, and then afterwards we're going to follow up with these notes.
Seventh fret on the low E string, I'm going to play that with my [B] third finger.
And I'm going to play it with a downstroke.
Then we're going to move over to the A [G] string.
[E] We've got 5, 6, 7 on the A string.
So [Bm] I go downstroke, [E] down, up, down.
[B] [E]
And then we're [Bbm] going to travel back down here, [D] we're going to go to the fifth fret on the
A string, [B]
seventh fret on the E [B] string, [A] fifth fret on the E string.
Okay, so let me put that together so [B] you can hear how it sounds.
[D] [G] [A]
[Bm] [A] Okay, [Ab] now at that point what I'm going to do is I'm going to roll over my first finger
across the B string and the high E string.
And in a sense it's kind of a bar.
[Bm] Because what you do is, [A] once you land there, I kind of roll over even though I'm not playing
the bottom string anymore, it's still kind of a bar.
[G] And then I get that same little quick [A] upstroke right there.
And then the palm mute right afterwards.
[B] Okay, so let me put that together.
[D]
[A] [E]
So all of that.
[D]
[A] Okay, and then that's kind of the first half of the riff.
Alright, so let's move into the second half of the riff here, okay?
What we're going to do is we're going to start out on the A string, [E] seventh fret.
And [G] we're going to play a riff that's similar just up on the next set of strings, [E] okay?
So, you've got the seventh fret on the A string.
[G] And then we've got 5, [Ab] 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
And then we've got 7 on the D [Abm] string.
[A]
And [E] it's the same picking.
Down, down, [A] up, down.
[Em]
[Ab] [Em]
[G] Okay?
And then we're going to go back down to the fifth fret on the D string.
[B] [Ab] [G]
And then we're [E] going to go to the seventh fret on the A string.
And we're going to hit that twice.
A down, up, down, up.
[Gb] So let me play it slow for you.
[A]
[E] And then that's what starts the riff over.
Okay?
So I'm going to put all that together for you.
[A]
[Ab] [E] [B]
[A]
[E] [Bb] Okay, one more time a little [Em] faster.
[A] [Em]
[A] [Em]
[E] Okay?
So, you guys can notice in the riff, there's lots of, you know, the quick, short, kind of, it's called staccato.
Quick, short notes happening.
[G] Kind of that one right there.
You just want to make note of these [F] kinds of things.
It makes the dynamic of the riff happen.
It makes it sound a little [E] closer to, I don't know, what's on the track, you know?
It makes it sound like Buddy Guy is doing it.
[Bm] [Fm] So that note right [B] there in particular.
[Em] So those are all kind of, [Gbm] the whole riff's kind of got that kind of vibe to it.
So just, you know, pay attention to that.
So I hope you guys had fun with this.
I hope it is a new thing that you can put into your [G] playing.
And you can see that it's kind of relating to, hopefully, some of the scales and patterns and stuff that you guys have been learning up to this point.
So have fun, and I'll see you
