Announcement: GuitarControl.com Releases “Cool Guitar Lick with Interval of 6th - Electric Guitar Lesson”
(PRWEB) July 29, 2014 -- Jon demonstrates this lesson using the 6th interval using the hybrid picking technique by briefly performing the riff from Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, which is one of the most recognizable riffs to incorporate the 6th interval. MacLennan continues by performing a piece of an original song he wrote called “lesson learned” which also incorporates this idea. Guitar tabs are available for this guitar lesson at GuitarControl.com.
A “riff” is the catchy part of a song that sticks in your head. One of the most recognizable guitar riffs of all time is “Smoke on the water” by Deep Purple.
Hybrid Picking is a technique where the guitarist uses a flat pick with the thumb and first finger and finger picks with the remaining fingers.
Van Morrison is an Irish singer/songwriter and musician. He has won six Grammy awards and one Brit award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame and has released 34 albums over his career.
