    Everything you are suggesting is correct. Even though I have been told a million times to start slow I feel when I'm learning a riff I must immediately play it at the correct speed asap. When I slow things down and play it about 17 million times as you suggested I learn the riff. I just need to break my bad habits.

    @robinhansen292 Před 5 lety +4

    I used to do that the first years I was playing , but then figured out by slowing it down first then build up the speed, made me a much better guitar player 😎🤘 Funny you picked Battery, cause that one is a bitch if you don't start slow, it is one the riffs I have played quite often and thru the years I have builded up the speed to Seattle 89 tempo(on a good day 😅) But yeah, it is quite a smart thing to do, it will tighten your up playing by a lot 👍🤘

  • @mikesgtrs1
    @mikesgtrs1 Před 5 lety

    Best way to learn, learn a riff at a time, then once comfortable play to the cd track. I always use the Tab book to check as there are many hidden notes which arent always on Songster and stuff.

    • @KARLOS121

    It's not "dirty reversed power chord" in fact it has nothing in common with the power chord. That's minor third, completely consonance interval. If you call this "dirty" then every minor chord in your opinion should be. Not hating you, mate, but in this case, I think you should learn some music theory or shit. Anyway, much respect for playing the riff that good
