What are the easiest riffs to play on guitar?
The easiest riffs fall into 2 categories. The blues is easy to play and learn/copy becuase the riffs are all based on the blues pentatonic scale. There are only 5 notes. In any given key the notes are 1,b3,4,5 %26amp; b7.





So in the key of C the notes would be C, Eb, F, G, Bb. Go listen to some blues players you like, or check out BB King, Eric Clapton, Albert King, Bo Didley, the list goes on and on...





Figure out what key you%26#039;re in. Many blues songs follow a I, IV, V structure. In the Key of C the I is C, the IV is F and the V is G. Many times the chords will all be 7th chords. This means they have a flat 7th tone instead of a maj 7th.





So establish what the I chord is and you%26#039;ll have your key. The pentatonic scale starts on the same note as the I chord. Just playing the notes in order doesn%26#039;t make licks, but listening to what the %26quot;greats%26quot; are doing and then copying them as best as you can will teach you tons of licks.





The other thing is to find players YOU already like, ones whose music you are really familiar with. Using the same scale as a starting point, try and figure out what your favorite artists are doing. So much of popular music is based on blues that the pentatonic scale can be a great launching pad, just listen carefully and you%26#039;ll find the %26quot;in-between%26quot; that the artists play.





Good luck!
