    Hi Adrian, thanks for coming back to grace our screens again in 2024. I love your lessons and approach.

    Excellent suggestions. And timely as I am going back to the drawing board after 40 years of playing. Due to a health issue a few years back my rhythm ain't so hot (ahem) so I will definitely be doing Riffs 2 & 3 daily for a few months. And Riff 10 for the hell of it. Happy New Year.

    I'm practicing my D minor scale and wah pedal sound by looping the riff to Cream's "White Room". Not only is it such an amazing guitar solo, but the wah tone is out of this world.
    There is no better feeling while playing guitar than playing a song you love, and improvising the solo over the riff.
    Great video, you earned a new subscriber and reoccurring viewer.

    @abrigospardos Před 5 měsíci +4

    As always, great choice of riffs across a variety of styles!! The Suzy Q riff is probably the first guitar riff I am aware of having heard as a child (probably on TV or the radio and most likely the CCR version). Thanks Adrian and a have a fantastic new year!!

    I tend to focus so much on just theory, I enjoy it but generally nobody wants to hear a talk on music theory, they want to hear you play music. This is great advice.

    Misirlou was first recorded in 1927 and is a song about a Greek Christian man and an Egyptian Muslim woman. The fast picking comes from the fact it was written to be played on a lyra or Bouzouki.

      BB King's comment on reading music: "It's better to know and not need than to need and not know." He's the greatest musician I ever heard perform live. It can't be recorded; all the difference in the world live! He said, "Scales educate the fingers." One of the reasons he liked the 335 was because he could hear it better than others when practicing scales without an amp. 🤘

    Thank you so much, Adrian for a wonderful selection of riffs to play in 2024. I've been watching your guitar lessons for a few years and particularly like your McGeoch work. He was the first pro guitarist that I saw live with the Banshees in 1981 on the Juju tour and am full of respect and appreciation for the quality lessons that you've done on his fantastic guitar parts. I love Johnny Marr, Nile Rodgers and the Only Ones too and have really enjoyed learning some of their parts from your lessons. Could you do some early Peter Buck (REM) guitar parts? Many thanks.
