Hammer off

When I originally wrote this, I separated it into measures. I found that for
computer generation, since there is a limited amount of notes than can fit on
one line, it was becoming a bit of a hassle. I only put in measure lines
where I thought there was some kind of interesting change in the music.
This first riff has its base from a Phish tune called David Bowie. The solo
has been modified. I find this to be an excellent riff to combine picking
speed with left-hand coordination. The subtle switches in chord forms make for
a real nice sound, as well as provide a good exercise in dexterity.
You should try placing your fingers on the fretboard as follows:

[Repeat Entire thing]

This popular riff is one that you may recognize as "Every Breath You Take" by
The Police. I'm not sure if it follows exactly the same pattern of changes
as the song, as I have not heard it for a while, but you can always change the
pattern of changes to your taste, as I often do. This riff is one that will
build up strength in your fingers. It has some tough reaches and can be
agonizing for the beginner. If this is the case, then this riff is perfect
for you. The first few times playing the riff, you may only be able to hammer
out a few measures before your fingers begin to hurt. Improvement will come
dramatically as your fingers strengthen. Within little time this riff will
come easy. A little digital delay gives this riff the perfect sound.
