Riffs on this G C D blues rhythm guitar... ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x4BFZjLMmU
How's technique achieved? I'm hearing chromatic jazzy scale, and multiple strings like a mini-chords, but not the neighbouring strings, I'd say. I'm speaking of this little "touches" on 0:41; 1:03; 1:20; 1:33; 1:42; 2:23; Thank you. |

At 0:41 it sounds like he's playing octaves, B on the fifth string second fret plus B on the third string fourth fret, and moving them both up one fret at a time until he comes to D notes.
It's late and I've not listened to the rest of the track. |

That sounds just about right! Thanks! How's is this called anyway? I mean, it's not the "riff, really? (For the sake of my future searches for similar patterns)

His left hand is doing this
Code:
E╓─────────────────┐ B╟─────────────────┤ G╟───4───5───6───7─┤ D╟─────────────────┤ A╟───2───3───4───5─┤ E╙─────────────────┘ . .1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . |

"chromatic approach" "blues walk up" or "chromatic walk up" (and walkdown) "blues turnaround" Some examples here: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/lesso..._in_blues.html What the guy in the video is doing (as stanron's tabbed) is a standard walkup from the 3rd of the G chord (B) to the root of the D (and then playing a D9). He's doing it in octaves, but it's commonly done just on the bass string(s). The classic example of this walkup is towards the end of Hendrix's "Hey Joe", where the chord sequence enables a walkup from 3rd to root 4 times in succession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAMM2Wg3DW8 (listen to the bass from 2:47 and 3:10)

Sorry I missed your post. It looks like we were posting at the same time. I suppose that a 'riff' is a repeated musical phrase. Certainly this phrase is repeated but mostly in just the one place in the verse and I would expect a riff to be repeated more often. Of JonPR's suggestions I would favour 'turnaround' because it leads up to the final chord of the sequence.. |
