Three-note rolling lick riff — E minor New
A three-note cell that rolls back and forth (root plus two neighbouring notes) within the E minor pentatonic, characteristic of a classic blues/rock solo phrase.
Tips
Once the riff feels stable, add a slow metronome and increase it in steps of 5 to 10 BPM, without ever sacrificing steadiness.
