Learn Easy Guitar Riffs on One String: A Beginner’s Guide
Are you a beginner guitarist who wants to play recognizable riffs on the guitar? Well, you’re in luck because in this article, we will go through some of the easiest guitar riffs that you can play on just one string. These riffs are perfect for beginners as they are simple yet recognizable and will help you get familiar with playing the guitar. So, let’s dive in!
The first thing you need to know is how to number the frets on your guitar. Starting from the open string, the frets are numbered consecutively from 1 to 12. The double dots on the fretboard mark the 12th fret, while the second dot marks the 5th fret. These dots are helpful when you’re learning to play riffs on the guitar.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Riff
Let’s start with a riff from the iconic song “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC. This riff uses the open string (O), the 3rd fret (3), and the 5th fret (5) on the top string. Play it with your index finger on the 3rd fret and your ring finger on the 5th fret. Here’s how it goes:
O – 3 – 5 – O – 3 – 5 – O – 3 – 5 – O – 3 – 5 – O
TNT Riff
The next riff is also from AC/DC, and it’s from their song “TNT.” This riff uses the open string (O), the 3rd fret (3), and the 5th fret (5) on the top string. You can play this riff with one finger or use your index and ring finger. Here’s how it goes:
O – 3 – 5 – O – 3 – 5 – O – O – O – O – O – O – O – O
Smoke on the Water Riff
The next riff is from the iconic song “Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple. This riff uses the 5th fret (5) and the 6th fret (6) on the top string. Play it by sliding your finger from the 6th fret to the 5th fret. Here’s how it goes:
6 – 5 – 6 – 8 – 6 – 5 – 6 – 3
Another One Bites the Dust Riff
The next riff is from the song “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen. This riff uses the open string (O), the 3rd fret (3), and the 5th fret (5) on the top string. Here’s how it goes:
O – O – O – O – 3 – 0 – 3 – 5 – 5 – 3 – O – O
Seven Nation Army Riff
The final riff is from the song “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes. This riff uses the 8th fret (8), the 10th fret (10), the 12th fret (12), and the 15th fret (15) on the top string. Play it by using your index finger for the 8th and 10th frets, and your ring finger for the 12th and 15th frets. Here’s how it goes:
12 – 12 – 15 – 12 – 10 – 8 – 10 – 12 – 12 – 12 – 10 – 8 – 10
Power Chords
Now that you have learned some of the most recognizable and iconic little riffs, it’s time to take your guitar playing to the next level. One thing you can do is learn power chords, which is a type of chord that consists of the root note and the fifth.
To play a power chord, you simply put your first finger on the fret where you played the first note of the riff, and then put your ring finger two frets up on the next string over. Then, you just play both those strings together to create a power chord.
Learning little riffs like the ones you just learned on one string is crucial to developing your guitar skills. It’s important to start with something simple and recognizable to keep you motivated and engaged. As you progress, you can move on to more complex riffs and chords.
In conclusion, Marty Schwartz’s guitar lesson on recognizable riffs on one string is a great way to get started on your guitar journey. By practicing these little riffs and learning power chords, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a great guitar player. Remember to be patient, take your time, and have fun!
