djroge1 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Why don't you experiment and mix a Piano and a Organ with an Electric guitar to make your riff. Listen to Whipping post by The Allman Brothers Band. Sorry, but I burned out listening to Whippin' Post when it was new - I wore the record out. I also don't think you understand the question. What makes a good hook? Sound? Timing syncopation constipation point/counter point era of music it is heard? and a host of other things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play Heartbreaker fast it will sound like a standard blues scale but when you slow the two notes down and Time the other 4 notes perfectly you get an awesome riff. The Heartbreaker riff is not 6 notes but the first section that goes Dun Dun Doon Dun Dudu is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky4 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Lock your self in your room...best advice i got from a guitarist. Thats how the Stones manager got Kief and Mick writing. He locked them in a room and were told they weren't getting out until they had two decent songs written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
