Old Deadhead Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 What's yourfavorite warm-up riff or song? I usually start with "the Last Time" by the Stones. Sometimes "Ripple" by the Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solacematt Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just to get the joints moving, usually death and very metallic stuff like Divine Empire, Slayer, and Pantera. Even though it's all complete opposite of what I do, it wakes up my hand because it's all a lot faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Usually some kind of rockabilly riff to loosen the fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I use a combination of mixolidian scales combined with blues pentatonics, mino and major. I also like to get into "The Usual," by George Thorowgood. I like his version better than John Hiatt's. Sometimes I work through "Nobody's Fault" by Led Zeppelin. Other times "Baby Please Don't Go," while trying to play a steady bass beat and lead, just to get the blood going in my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolongermike@gibson Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Ripple, that's a closer! Side note here, my son did his first live concert with me at Great American Music Hall for Merl Saunder's birthday in 2006, packed house, Bill K, David G. in the audience, and we played Ripple. While those two looked unimpressed, the room swelled, people sang along LOUDLY and my boy got a standing-ovation. The next week he played a dive bar road house in N. CA with me to 10 people. My how easily the bubble bursts. What's yourfavorite warm-up riff or song? I usually start with "the Last Time" by the Stones. Sometimes "Ripple" by the Dead.
