For this riff we
are using our high E string. However if you play the same frets on
your D string you will be playing a D blues scale, use your A string
then you have A blues scale, etc. |

Use pick pattern
from first beat throughout. Down, pull-off, down, up. Very important.
Try to count as 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a |

Below is the rhythm
part being played underneath the one string blues scale riff from
above. Drop your low E string down one whole step to D and crank up
the distortion. |

Listen (right click
to open in new window) - this is a midi file and therefore sounds
kinda cheesy but crank the distortion and play it with tons of attitude
:) Be sure to drop your E string to D so you can play the low D
power chord. The riff is at half speed to make it a bit easier to
figure out.
Sorry there is no breakdown for this riff
and I forgot to make an mp3 of this. I will eventually.
