This
riff is the post chorus from the tripfuse tune Trust. It is the part that connects
the chorus back to the verse. It is also the
riff underneath the solo at the end of the tune. Drop
D Tuning Drop D tuning means to drop your
low E a whole step to a D. To do this play your 4th string D. Let it ring and
strike your low E and then tune it down to match the open D but one octave lower.
It should probably only be about 1/4 turn on most tuning pegs. You will get better
and better just by doing it a lot. Drop D tuning
will allow us to play power chords by just holding one finger across 2 or 3 strings.
Soloing
This is a fun riff to solo over. You can use the D blues
scale and any D minor pentatonic stuff. You can also use A harmonic minor scale
too. |
