syncopation power riff — F New
A syncopated power chord riff on F (C5), with hits shifted off the beat that break up the straight rhythm: the accent deliberately lands off the expected strong beat.
Tips
Loop just the chord change on its own, slowly, before dropping it back into the full riff rhythm: that exact moment is usually where the tempo slips.
