START NOWThe importance of the initial riff in Pop/Rock and how to create it effectively and with the right balance between "complexity" and "taste". Often the best riff is the one that anyone can easily remember and the intrinsic value is not given by the amount of notes or how complex the chords involved are.
Many of the Pop/Rock compositions from the 80's onwards use this very simple trick which allows you to "spin" a voicing or group of triads on different degrees of the same tonal harmonization.
Any accompanying rhythm or riff never works if it is not accompanied by the right "musical intention" and the respective groove.
Thanks to the use of appropriate effects, even single notes can say a lot and can create wonderful evocative settings that not only fill the harmonic structure, but have the power to highlight all the melodic traits of a vocal line.
How to create catchy melodies that act as a "pull" for the entire song itself and that can be easily remembered by listeners.
The most important strategies that allow you to choose the right notes for a solo and mediate between technique and melody, always putting the music first rather than the mere ostentation of the performance.
Often a guitar arrangement, no matter how beautiful and interesting it may be, clashes with some notes present in a vocal line or with arrangements played by other musicians. Here are the rules to avoid this from happening, since the role of the Pop/Rock guitarist is absolutely secondary and supportive to the voice.
The art of dosing: too much can often create conflicts with the arrangement of a song. Less is more!
Assuming a super "guitar oriented" production, we explain the beauty of being able to imagine a song with multiple simultaneous guitar arrangements.
Putting together most of the topics covered in this course, we create a piece of music played by imagining that the themes, played in unison between guitar and synth, are made by a male or female voice.
Let's examine step by step all the sections and arrangements played in the previous lesson.
