call and response power riff — G New
A call-and-response power chord riff on G: a first phrase that reaches for a more distant chord (D5-C5), followed by a shorter second phrase that closes back on the root.
Tips
Once both phrases feel secure on their own, play them back to back with no pause or slowdown: it's that unbroken question-and-response flow that makes the riff work.
