    6:46 this was the tune Jimmy kept humming manically in Better Call Saul!! It was so funny how later the actual tune played for the ending credits! 7:01 and this tune reminded me dearly of Texhnolyze's beautiful and hearttouching ending guitar theme!!!

    • @aegis4343
      @aegis4343 2 месяца назад

      i might be late, but just in case tho :
      melody is when you have few notes combined.
      vibrato is a technique to make ur string sounds "vibrate"

    5 mins in and I still haven't found out what a riff is...patience is running out. I got what a lick was 5 minutes ago. Yes I got the point of what a fucking lick is dammit. So what's the difference between a phrase and a riff since they are both made of licks?

    Thank you for explaining riff and lick Soo well!!! At least I can describe the exact part of an electric guitar theme I'm trying to find the genre of!! Specifically, the sudden high-pitched licks in Seishun Kyousoukyoku by Sambomaster and in xxxholic opening 2 which make them extra groovy! I suppose it is called electric funk!
