You can play this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you\u2019ll sound impressive, I guarantee. That\u2019s because this little riff is as beautiful as it is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How simple? There are only 5 notes that you need to know, and you don\u2019t have to know any note names or anything. Here are all the notes you’ll need to create this beautiful sound:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see we\u2019ll be playing 4 of the black keys and only 1 white key (the B).<\/p>\n\n\n\n To find that B note anywhere on the piano, just find any group of 3 black keys and the B will be the white key immediately to the right of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And you can use ANY of these 5 notes anywhere on the piano. High or low, it doesn’t matter. You can experiment to find out what you like the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ok, let’s get to the riffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make these beautiful riffs we are going to be using simple patterns in both hands that just repeat over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the right, I demonstrate 3 different patterns that are suitable for any skill level. Find the one that you like the best and start there. You don’t have to learn all 3, but if you want to that’s great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is only ONE pattern for the left hand. We\u2019ll simply be walking up from the bottom black note in a group of 3. So we\u2019ll play the 3 black notes and then the B note on top. That\u2019s all we\u2019ll be doing for the left hand even when we change right-hand patterns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/2020\/Anyone%20Can%20Play%20This%20Riff\/5-notes.png\")
