Distraction Riff Video

This week’s guitar riff is my favorite so far and it’s called “Distraction”which was inspired by “Attention” by Charlie Puth! 🙌🏼

As a board-certified music therapist, I use the level 1 chords when doing music-for-relaxation in the medical setting and my patients always commented on how beautiful the music was. 🧘🏻‍♂️

This riff also teaches the powerful “partial barre” which is a “mini barre” that’s much easier on the hands, and is great for strengthening your barre! 💪🏼

This is the first video in a series of 6 videos breaking down this riff and actually being able to play it! 🔥
