About this riff
The fretting hand does nothing at all here. It is six open strings, picked one at a time, so you can give all your attention to landing on the right string.
What helps
- Play the low E, then walk up the three thin strings and back down. Your hand barely needs to move.
- Rest your little finger lightly on the guitar body. It gives your picking hand a fixed point to return to.
- Keep it even. Every note is the same length and the same volume.
