In today's video I'd like to share a collection of 13 songs I’ve taught previously – all of which utilize DRONING STRINGS as part of the main riff. This isn't something you'll find in all songs — but when used well, it can really elevate a riff to a whole new level.
By "droning strings" I'm simply referring to one string, usually open (un-fretted), which is played constantly. While this is happening, a melodic riff is played on other strings. When the droning string is combined with a melodic riff, it creates a sound that is bigger & more full — while also adding some harmonious layering to things. Over some notes this droning string may create tension, but over other notes it may create a sense of satisfying resolution.
Here's some timestamps for each song I discuss — and links to each of my full lessons (teaching all these) can be found up above, or by searching at songnotes.net. Thanks and enjoy!
