Weekend guitar challenge
Learn the riff. Play it. Post it.
A short riff, first at a slower tempo so you can hear every note, then up to speed. Grab the backing tracks below, learn it over the weekend, and post your take in the comments under the video. Everyone who posts one gets a free year of CountIn.
Backing tracks
Two tempos, same riff. Start slow until the shape is under your fingers, then move up. Both start with a count-in, so you know exactly when to come in instead of guessing at the first beat.
The count-in on both tracks was made with CountIn, the same tool you can point at your own backing tracks. Drop a file in, it finds the tempo and beat one, and you get the count baked into the export.
How to take part
- Learn the riff, slow tempo first, then full speed.
- Record yourself playing it. Phone camera is fine.
- Send it over: attach it to a comment on Facebook, link it in a YouTube comment, or email [email protected].
No deadline. The video stays up, so whenever you find this, learn it, post your take, and it counts.
Watch and take part: on YouTube or on Facebook, where you can attach your video straight into a comment.
