Announcement: GuitarControl.com Releases “Cool Funk Guitar Riff in the Style of Stevie Wonder - Rhythm Guitar Lesson on Funk Riff”
(PRWEB) December 13, 2014 -- George starts off by performing this funky riff in the key of E at tempo so you can hear how it should sound after some practice. The riff begins with an E7#9 (E seven sharp nine) chord that is often referred to as the Hendrix chord which Marios demonstrates as follows. Open 6th string, 7th fret of the 5th string with 2nd finger, 6th fret of the 4th string with first finger, 7th fret of the 3rd string with 3rd finger, 8th fret of the 2nd string with 4th finger and open first string. The riff is composed of playing the chord and then a bluesy lick based out of the pentatonic scale that incorporates some slides and vibrato. Guitar TAB’s are available for this easy funky riff at GuitarControl.com.
A Pentatonic Scale is a musical scale with five notes per octave and is very common and found all over the world.
