Riffs

TNT - Rhythm Breakdown - Verse/Chorus

Verse: Focus on the UPBEATS (3 AND 4 AND)

It is a two measure subphrase that is repeated

If needed, only clap and count one measure at a time

Chorus: Keep the PULSE consistent

RESTS are part of the MUSIC

DON’T leave them out!

TNT - Intro/Verse - Breakdown/Playthrough

DETERMINE your LEVEL!

Level 1: ROOTS! If you’re new or having trouble fretting, use FINGER 1 for ALL FRETS

Level 2: Use FINGER 3 on FRET 5 and FINGER 1 on FRET 3

Level 3: POWER CHORDS! FINGER 1 plays the same frets (3 and 5)

Add your 3rd finger TWO frets UP and ONE string DOWN

VIOLA! This shape is MOVEABLE and we will use it EVERYWHERE

Level 4: ANGUS CHORDS! Power chords in open position

HOWEVER! There is NO 3rd fret power chord in this version, just the root note

Work on each measure SEPARATELY FIRST!

Focus on the UPBEATS (3 AND 4 AND)

TNT - Chorus - Breakdown/Playthrough

DETERMINE your LEVEL!

This is the EASIEST place to start for LH movement and rhythm

At the end of REPEAT 4, we play instead of a full measure rest!

Repeat x4

After x4 repeats, fret 3 is played for beats 1 + 2, fret 5 is played once on the + of 2

Following that, there is a 1 measure extension

Listen for the timing!

DETERMINE your LEVEL!

BE AWARE of the amount of repeats in each section!

Focus on rhythmic accuracy!

On beat 2, you can MUTE/CUT the sound to make the riff POP
