Experiment with various riffs. 2 2
So you can see from the previous example how to practice a riff pattern. 3 3
So you start with your left hand rhythm. 4 4
[MUSIC] 5 5
So now you can practice with all the patterns you learned at 6 6
the start of book six. 7 7
So you choose one of the right hand patterns. 8 8
[MUSIC] 9 9
And play it repeatedly over one of the left hand rhythms. 10 10
[MUSIC] 11 11
Change chord. 12 12
[MUSIC] 13 13
So, to go through the entire twelve bar sequence, so you get used to playing 14 14
the riff while you change chords, try the following riffs on the next page. 15 15
Try them again with each of the other left hand rhythm. 16 16
So, you've got your basic blues, 17 17
straight eight boogie, and the twist rhythm. 18 18
For your right hand rhythms, number one. 19 19
[MUSIC] 20 20
Number two. 21 21
[MUSIC] Number three. 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
Number four. 24 24
[MUSIC] 25 25
And then you just add them over your left hand rhythms. 26 26
[MUSIC] 27 27
Or you're straight eight boogie, just play it slowly. 28 28
[MUSIC] 29 29
You can do it different timing as well, even within the three notes. 30 30
[MUSIC] 31 31
Or your twist rhythm. 32 32
[MUSIC] 33 33
Number two. [MUSIC] 34 34
Number three. 35 35
[MUSIC] 36 36
Number four. 37 37
[MUSIC] 38 38
So just keep going over all the patterns, over all the rhythms, 39 39
and repeatedly change chords, and you'll soon get used to it.
