Day Tripper riff


This classic riff (bass line) is made up of 11 notes.
It uses the three bass strings (6th, 5th and 4th) for the E version.
Play the note on the 3rd fret with your long finger.
Play notes on the 2nd fret with your first finger.
Play notes on the 4nd fret with your ring finger.

There are 10 files to work with here.
As always: listen first until you know what it should sound like.
This is very important when practicing with the "Last 5 notes" file
since the first note is not beat 1 of the bar.

In the tune the riff is also played on the 5th, 4th and 3rd string (the A version).
Here you use the exact same fingering but start on the 5th string.
The last files are for practicing changing between the E and A version.

If this gives you trouble, begin by playing along with just the E version
and the 1st note of the A version. Then pause/wait for the next E version.
When you can do this without mistakes, add 1 or more notes to the A version.
