guitar riffs. A riff is a cluster or sequence of notes or chords. A riff is used in a song. It can be repeated over and over again, but it may only be heard once, say for instance, in a lead guitar solo. Riffs can be minor decorative elements or they can be the basis of a song.
The guitar, either acoustic or electric, is the primary instrument in blues. If the guitar is plugged in, then bass and drums will also be present, forming a power trio. Wheâ¦n unplugged, the guitarist/singer may be alone. The guitar is often played with a slide. Harmonica is used very often as well.
