BEGINNER EXAMPLE 1 ROBBY KRIEGER (THE DOORS)

This phrase is built from a descending, stepwise melody that runs along the second string. It also includes open B notes on that same string, after each fretted note. This is a simple and effective way to thicken the melody line while creating intervallic jumps within the sequence. To get the tone, use your neck pickup and set your amp to clean. Then add tremolo and a long reverb for some nostalgic, psychedelic shimmer.This phrase is built from a descending, stepwise melody that runs along the second string.
