Cool Country & Blues Riffs (Acoustic Guitar)

Cool Country & Blues Riffs (Acoustic Guitar)

Here’s a lesson with some cool blues riffs that also work well in country music.

This guitar riff works off the E pentatonic minor scale, and is played over an E7 chord. There is a variation in there, which Colin explains in the lesson.

This blues riff can be moved around – in the lesson you’ll see how to move it to the A and the B position, although you can easily use it in other keys as well.

The trick with learning these riffs, or any other guitar riffs is to practice until you’ve got it, then figure out how to move it to other keys, and then start throwing it in with other songs you’re playing until it really truly sticks in your repertoire and becomes one of your own.

Colin (aka) “RiffNinja”, Love the shirt and the special riff. IMHO these folks who need tab are not paying attention to your very good tutorials. IMHO Glo and Mr. Vivas could write their own tab if they would just pay attention. I’m not the sharpest tack in the box and your videos are very clear and concise to me. Tabs schmabs just keep giving us cool stuff and let the slackers work a little bit. No offense, I’m just sayin’. Put the gitar in yo hans an figger it out. Love ya’s

    Hi Rex, the videos are also available on Youtube directly, if you click on the link within the post that goes there… If they are not showing up for you, I suspect it has something to do with your internet browser or the settings. You might try another browser (FireFox, Chrome, Safari, etc) and see if that makes a difference.
