Hey Jonathan, great lesson man. It was exactly what I needed, as I’m at that point of slipping riffs into anything I can, while being able to get the timing spot on. Thanks.

Open Riffs in G
Turn the same three chords into something worth playing.
You can strum G, C and D. You just don’t have anything cool to play between them. That’s the gap this little course closes… with a handful of riffs that drop straight into the songs you already play. If you can change between those chords without stopping the song, you’re ready for these.

The gap
Same strum, same three chords, same as last week.
Here’s how it usually goes. You learn a song, you strum the chords, and that’s pretty much that. Same strum, same three chords, same as last week. Meanwhile the players you listen to are slipping little riffs in between the chords, and it sounds like another planet.
The shift
Those riffs aren’t another planet.
They come straight out of the scale that already lives under the key of G, the most familiar key on the guitar. Once you can see where they come from, you stop just copying them. You start changing the endings, stringing them together, making them yours.
What’s inside
What you’ll be able to do.
- Slip a riff into a G, C, D progression at the exact spot it belongs… the gap the singer leaves you.
- Play the same riff three different ways, so you never sound like a record stuck on repeat.
- See the one scale all four riffs come from, so the next riff you want, you can go find yourself.
- Know why a riff lands where it lands, instead of hoping it fits.
What’s actually in it: four riffs plus a bonus connector, every one tabbed and explained, with the scale diagrams sitting right behind them. Around 50 minutes of video, watch it on anything, yours to keep.
The key
Why G?
Most acoustic players already spend a lot of time in G, because the open chords there sit comfortably under the fingers and ring the loudest. That means a riff in G is a riff you’ll actually reach for, not one that lives in a notebook because it requires bar chords you don’t feel like playing. So that’s where I started.

Real notes from real players.

I love how you incorporate the music theory lesson behind what goes into the riffs, instead of just showing a bunch of rote patterns and then saying just do this. Great mini-lesson and I would love to see more of these.

This has put a new perspective on my practice. Trying to copy everything is not easy in my senior years, as my memory is not so good. If I can get used to being creative, expanding my playing would be a lot easier.

Questions
Quick questions.
What level is this for?
Anyone past their first few months. If you can play open chords and switch between them without stopping the song, you’re ready.
Acoustic or electric?
Either. The riffs are written around open chords, so an acoustic feels natural, but they sit fine on an electric too.
How do I access it?
As soon as you check out, you’ll get a login. The lessons stream on any device. The tabs and PDFs download.
What if it isn’t for me?
You’ve got 60 days to email me and get your money back. No reason needed.
Level up, or your money back.
Go through the whole thing, learn the riffs, and drop them into your songs. If you’re not slipping riffs between your chords and making them your own, just email me inside 60 days and I’ll send every penny back. No questions, no hoops. I’ve never turned one down inside the window.
