So, week two. My first objective from last week was to pick tunes I’m more familiar with. I didn’t do that, not for all of them. But ho-hum. This week was based off the lesson from Andy Guitar called “5 Easy Guitar Riffs on 1 STRING”

I did, however, practise them with both a metronome and using the original tracks. This actually did reap a lot better results, so something I’ll certainly continue with. As will I continue with very simple and repeatable riffs.
