Common guitar riffs and licks - the “building blocks of rock“
The most common riffs and licks in classic rock are found in more than one song, just like chords. And like chords, they can be shown as simple shapes.
If you’re tired of just strumming chords and practicing scales, take the next step, by learning a few of these basic riffs and licks. This video will show you how to use my free web app for guitarists, “The Building Blocks of Rock“, a visual library of hundreds of the most common riff, lick, and chord shapes. I’ll also talk about how we learned these things back in the old days (the early 1970’s), before computers, videos, even tab.
You can find the app here:
It’s not an app like you download from the Apple app store or Android Play. It’s just a web page, so all you have to do is open it.
Please leave comments or questions!
cheers, Kevin
