A straight forward wah infused guitar lick today that establishes some movement and melody with a repeating pattern where the bass note descends. Pretty straight forward but I'm hoping to develop this idea into a more complex one that can be used as the basis for a song.
Today's guitar lick is from the intro to a new song called "lost in Decay" from my upcoming guitar instrumental EP "Apple Blood". It is a pretty basic picking part but watch the video and see how I leave the index finger free to fret the G note on the high E string in the last bar of the intro tab. To do this I play the F note on the B string with my pinky. Try different fingerings and see what works for you.
Ok track 2 from my instrumental guitar EP "Apple Blood" is finished. It is definitely the crazy experimental track on the record. I am really happy with the way it turned out and I hope some people enjoy it too. If you like it spread the word and tell a friend. I had a lousy evening but mixing this turned out great and really made my day. This track is called "Leprechaun's Jelly" mainly guitar run through some pretty crazy harmonizing effects. All the guitars and outrageous sounds emanating from said guitar are played by me the drums are courtesy of Sonoma Wireworks RiffWorks. Again I sometimes get bored with "audio only" as an internet surfer so I made a little video again with public domain footage. Cheers.
This is a fairly common type guitar riff that uses moveable chord shapes and arpeggios to outline the basic notes in the riff. The guitar part starts with an A minor chord and a common hammer on sequence from the open B string to the C note on the first fret. Then the riff incorporates open notes most noteably "G" as is moves up the fretboard using a moveable "C" and "D" chord shape.
Ok I finished the title track to my upcoming instrumental guitar EP "Apple Blood". I am hooked on "watching" music now so I uploaded some public domain video footage to accommodate a youtube post. Guitars are mine. Drums are courtesy of Sonoma Wireworks Riffworks Instant Drummer. Thanks for taking the time to listen. I hope some of you enjoy the song and the rest of the world can at least tolerate the noise.

A guitar riff in the key of D that uses and open D string pedal point and shifts between to triad versions of A and G chords. The lick uses a palm muting technique and a wah wah effect to accent desired single string notes on the B string.
This is the rhythm guitar intro to the title track of the new EP I'm recording called "Apple Blood". The guitar intro is based on an arpeggio pattern that incorporates a moving bass line over a repeating pattern. In the video I give you a right hand pick view as well because I don't strictly alternate pick all the parts. In the tab on the notes that move from strings 1-3 consecutively I will play with a single upstroke but let the notes ring.
