Riff Shorts – Get em while deh HOT!

Janky has a new video collection of riff tutorials created by the legends of the blues. Open D, Open G and Standard tunings. Even Cigar Box Guitar riffage.

So fun. It has a few parts, but all are based on the minor pentatonic.

Learn this and play it All Night Long. This is one of Junior Kimbrough's greatest songs. Junior plays it in G# Flatish. I play it in "A" standard tuning.

This is Cotton Patch Soul Blues at its best.

Super fun song and easy riff. I also break down a real simple, movable turnaround riff.

Yes. This is one of Junior Kimbrough's most haunting songs. Lord Have Mercy on Me is actually a very complex song with very unorthodox changes and accents. The riffs are simple, but the placement is anything but.

It's a really fun song to add to your blues set. This Riff Short features the song in Open D as well as in D on a two-string LoweBow. #LoweBow

One of my favorite jams done on a CBG. This one is dirty. You may need to shower afterwards. This is on a Lowe Bow Shorty CBG. Low D and High D. Have fun with this one.
