stepped climb power riff — G New
A power chord riff that climbs in stages from G (C5-D5) before settling back on the root: a wider harmonic movement than a simple pedal, typical of a bridge or chorus riff.
Tips
Loop just the chord change on its own, slowly, before dropping it back into the full riff rhythm: that exact moment is usually where the tempo slips.
