Description: Complete Chord Mastery course: musictheoryforguitar.com/chords-and-harmony-guitar-lessons.html Master of the Modes course: musictheoryforguitar.com/scalesandmodesguitarlessons.html Here's a situation you've been in if you write music: You just wrote a great riff. And I mean an absolutely great riff. Either the Muses dictated it to you, or you finally got unity with the universal consciousness, or you simply had a good day... ... either way you have now a riff on your hands that can shake the world. And that's were you slam your head nose-first on the First-Wall-That-Songwriters-Hit-When-They-Rely-Only-On-Inspiration (yup, that's a thing): "... how do I make this riff into a song?" Yes, that's precisely the moment when some music theory would be helpful :-) I mean you can always make a song by repeating the same riff over and over and over... ... and over and over, but that's - let's say - not really optimal. (Ok, I'll say it: it sucks) Now, I am the first to admit that "how do you go from a riff to a song" is not something one can cover in a 10 minutes video... (or in a 10 hours video for that matter... ) ... but at least I can get you started! So the first step to go from riff to song is to "get to know your riff". That is to say: - What can your riff do? - How versatile it is? - Can I make it sound in different ways throughout the song? And in this videos is how you do exactly that... lickety-split: If you like this video, share, like, comment & don't forget to subscribe for more content! Need help with music theory for guitar?
