Do you know about Drop D power chords? What about palm muting and using syncopation to create unique strum patterns? You can even barre with any finger? These are all topics in this week’s riff, “Release”! 👏🏼

I wrote the level 3 riff when I was 18 and in a hardcore band called, “One Accord”. Every time I listen to our song “Release” it brings so many special memories, feelings, and makes me feel connected to the music and those I love from the past. ❤️

As music therapists there are many reasons why you may want to just play D, C, G, but we should also strive to play the riff from “Sweet Home Alabama” to bring customized music experiences to meet patient goals. These riff videos teach the techniques and skills needed to transfer to ANY riff that calls upon them and because you likely won’t use these riffs in session, they can help separate your work/life boundaries to grow your relationship with your guitar 🫶🏼

Happy riffing! 🎸
