Muddy Catfish Blues - Inspired by "That Riff"
This is a great little riff to learn. Normally, this riff is played by bending the 2nd fret a of the G-string up a half-step, then releasing the bend back to neutral. I've made the riff easier for acoustic guitars by replacing the bend then release of the bend on fret 2, with a hammer-on immediately followed by two pull-offs from frets 2-3-2-0. So there are no bends, just hammer-ons and pull-offs. Because there are no bends, you can play this both on acoustics and electrics easily. Check out the video below to see how it is played and get the tab, guitar pro file, and an mp3 practice track with a metronome click if you are a Premium Member to Guitar Lesson Guy.
