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!

Come Together - Bass Riff Breakdown/Playthrough

SQUEEZE and LET GO for each hit on beat 1 (5th fret - 5th string)

Slide from the 3rd fret to 5th fret on the 6th string in ONE MOTION

You can use EITHER the 1st of 3rd finger

Focus on hand synchronicity

BOTH hands move TOGETHER when string skipping

Visualize the BOX and keep movements within

Come Together - Intro/Interlude Breakdown/Playthrough

SQUEEZE and LET GO for each hit on beat 1 (10th fret - 6th string)

Use fingerTIPS when executing the hammer on

Think of it as a quick flick and hit

BOTH hands move TOGETHER when string skipping

Focus on hand synchronicity

NOTE: Riff can be played as is on the 5th fret of the 5th string

Visualize the BOX and keep movements within

Come Together - Chordal Breakdown/Playthrough (Verse)

Lock in the ROOT, THEN the POWER CHORD

EVERYTHING comes from the power chord

SQUEEZE and LET GO w/ rhythm

Use RHYTHM when adding the PINKY

DON’ focus on “perfect” notes

Focus on rhythmic accuracy

Focus on SHAPE and the STRETCH

Come Together - Chordal Breakdown/Playthrough (Chorus)

Lock in the ROOT, THEN the POWER CHORD

Don’t release pressure as done in the Verses

Let each chord ring out into one another

NOTE when the chords change!
