Basic info
This riff will be played on the first string. It is quite difficult so make sure you take things step by step, remember to practice slowly and rest every time you feel pain. In this part we are going to use a combination of Plucking and Pull of Technique. Make sure you check the video several time and verify you are playing the right thing by using the guitar Tab.
How to Practice and Play this riff.
Using a pull off on the second note of each triplet is the only way you can make this riff sounds fluent and accurate. Apply a pull off after each melody note. The bass note will be played at the beginning of each bar with the Thumb. Practice the top strings individually without the bass note for fifteen minutes then add the bass note.
Thank you very much for your support guys. More video coming up soon. Please, make sure you check out my book Acoustic Steps. This is a book for fingerstyle guitar that will help you improve your fingerstyle as well as other cool techniques.
