Hi everyone! So I've been working on my Riff Challenges. Just did V- VIII this weekend. IX is going to take some time. I have some ideas for that.
I have them recorded, just quick rough snippets. I'll send them to you Ruth, & also try to get links here. For V Let It Be), I put in some melody notes, & used the LH to bring anticipation in through a 1 -5 -1 roll, before coming in with the RH.
For VI (CCR Bad Moon Rising), I used Supportive Riff #5 (Busier Gaps Advanced). @vkisamore give the song a whirl! I bet you know it. even if you don't, it's not to hard to fill the empty space!
For VII, the Adele song, all I did was take a song she did that I did way back & apply the challenge chords to a portion of it. I did her cover of Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love.'' Originally I was playing it in Bb, & it has a couple of chords that don't technically belong in the key, so that took a little extra tweaking, & I couldn't just go to my keyboard & press the transpose button lol. My challenge chords ending up being Ab Db Eb & Gb in place of the Fm.
For VIII, using 2 Mixed Riffs in chords of my choice, I picked Melodic Riff #2 with Rhythmic Riff #5 w/the Rhythmic Riff #6 Turnaround, & I used the IV, I, V, VI in the key of D (G, D, A, Bm).
Riff Challenge IX (We Are the Champions ) is going to be completed soon. I just got the chords, & I have a few ideas of Riff Patterns to use, but I haven't tested anything out yet.
