  • @richardvale214
    @richardvale214 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Marty, for the opening main riff where you go from G to F power chord, back to G, for economy of motion: when going to the first G, you can set up for the F power chord at the same time. And then leave the F note of the F power chord in place as you toggle between the chords. The G note will mute the F note while you’re playing the G. This way you don’t have to lift your hand completely off the strings between notes and the F note acts as the anchor for your hand.
    I hope that explanation makes sense, because it works well.

    @jogmas12 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    When learning this riff you need to treat that last open G string as part of the next G chord otherwise no matter how fast you play this riff it will never sound like the recording. Don’t pause after strumming that open G string, make it part of the next chord. If you are struggling, play the A minor, then pause after strumming that closed G string, then strum the open G and go immediately to the G chord. Timing is everything in music.
