A Composer’s Sketchbook | The 1970s Track 24 | Two Guitar Riffs

Nothing much to see here. Move along… move along….

Just two short guitar riffs, bordering on country rock, and one of them was used by The Beatles at least once that I recall. Really, this was just me trying a little finger melody as opposed to just simple strummed chords.

At my prime, back when I was playing the strings every day, I got respectable enough, but honestly, I just don’t have the dexterity to get anywhere near those guitar virtuosos whose fingers flash all over the neck of the damn beast from one end to the other to the point you can imagine the thing actually catching fire.

That ain’t me. In fact, I was rather proud of myself just for getting this far. That’s okay, we should be judged only by how much we push our own personal envelopes.
