- Ramiro Delforte21st May 2009Cool lesson Ramiro! But where was country From 0:40?
Thanx Alex!
Well, it's country like, if you take out of context that lick and put it in relation with a country rhythm guitar maybe you'll hear more clearly what's the concept. I'm not saying that's a typical country lick but it's very related because of the pentatonic feel and the repeated note from the open 3rd string to the fretted note on the 5th fret of the 4th string.Yeah I also haven't heard to much country there, but I almost never listen to country so my ear have no experience in hearing it. Anyway this is great sounding lesson Ramiro, and very good legato lesson also!
Thank you Marek!Cool riffing concepts Ramiro!:)

Hi GMC'ers! Welcome to this lesson about riffing with open strings. I thought that could be fun to show some different riffs using different styles of riffing. We'll see some classic rock or metal riff, some more country related ones and some progressive, all into a rock lesson.
The lesson is divided into five different riffs:
* More progressive type like riffing
* More neoclassical rock type like riffing
* More classic rock type like riffing
* More country type like riffing
* More progressive type like riffing
As you might notice all those styles are into this lesson but they are presented in a way that is related to the rock feel of the lesson. I'm just relating the riffs to the original style where they could be produced.
I hope you enjoy the lesson! :)
