[G] Hey everybody, Corey at Gemini Guitar.
We are back in the stoner groove realm today.
And I've dubbed this one stoner groove fun because it is a lot of fun.
Okay, so basically the deal with these is that we're going to be using the fifth from
[N] each note in effect the power chord interval in order to achieve this sound.
And in the introduction there I demonstrated playing these in two separate positions.
The reason for that is because of the different tone that you get.
Let's look at a bit of the riff and then I'll show you a couple of the harmonies there and
the rest should be pretty easy from that point.
So let's take these two notes as an example to use.
So we've got the D note here in fifth position on [D] the A string [Bb] and the E string next door
to that at [E] the 7th.
[F]
Now if we were to play that idea as a power chord we would be using as well as these two
notes with the D note we would be using the A note on the D string [A] at the 7th fret.
[B] And then we would move a whole step higher for the other.
So that would be the B note at the 9th on the D string.
Now if we play those two notes together [Bb] we get the power chord [E] [E] for [N] both of those notes you see.
So we've got the D and the A [D] here and [E] the E and the B [D] here.
[E] [N] That's the theory part of it.
It's pretty straightforward.
We're basically just using the fifth from the root in every note that we do.
In effect a power chord harmony.
So what we're going to do is we're going to look quickly at both the riffs and then I'll
show you the harmony parts.
We'll look at those in both positions.
So first time around we're going to be starting in the fifth position.
So we're playing this [E] idea.
[D] [E] [Bb]
[N] Notice we've got the classic tritone interval.
You know I love that interval.
It's a really cool interval.
It gives it just that sort of evil nasty sort of sound which is always a good thing.
There's a couple of hammer-ons in [E] here.
[D]
[Ebm] One there [E] and then a couple of pull-offs.
[D]
And then towards the end of that as well there's another hammer-on into the [Bb] tritone.
Now on the second time what I did was I just varied things up a bit so it sounds like [E] this.
[Bb] [N] That's just to provide some variety.
I mean let's be honest there's only really a few notes that we're using here but it does
prove that you can get some pretty interesting sounds just from using a few notes.
Now if we move that idea into another position basically we can do this all on one string.
So I'll just show you what that looks like.
Now this is in tenth position so the D and the E note are at frets 10 and 12.
The tritone is going to be in the same spot fret 6 on the low E string.
So let's just check [E] this out.
[Bb] [E] And then for the second run through you
[Bb] can hear there's a lot of repetition like [E] as in
the
so there's a lot of that.
[N] And what I'd recommend doing is once you've learnt this just try to come up with variations
to these as well.
Because you're only using two notes you can really muck around with the rhythm and get
like overlapping effects and things which is one of the advantages to only using a small
amount of notes.
So you can be more creative with the rhythmic side of things.
Now for the harmony you would do this on the A string or I mean you could do it on the
low E string but it does go up quite high.
It sounds pretty good here on the A string I think.
And it'll look [E] like this.
[B] [A] [B]
[F] [E] [B]
[F] [Bbm] [E]
So let's go through the whole thing now and you can jam along with that.
So here we go.
One, two, three, four.
