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!
