Let me know – [email protected] – if there's enough demand I'll bump it to the top of the list! ****** Ever learn a song that uses a melodic riff, and find yourself wishing it had a bit more depth? You're in luck! In today's video I'll answer an audience question on this topic, where I'll look at the Guy Clark song Stuff That Works— and explain how to add some oomph to the riff heard in the intro. This is a technique you can use in just about any song where a simple riff is played... simply remember to look for the surrounding chord shapes! Any notes you happen to pick, pluck, brush, or strum will generally sound great when combined with the riff you're playing. PERFORMANCES OF STUFF THAT WORKS 🎸 Guy Clark's original version    • Guy Clark - Stuff that works   🎸 GC Vincent (Key of G)    • Stuff That Works........Guy Clark   🎸 Peter Gorges (Key of C)    • Stuff That Works - Guy Clark cover   🎸 Carson McKee (Key of D*)    • Stuff That Works - Guy Clark Cover   Note, Carson is tuned down a whole step — so technically, he’s in the Key of C. But, he’s using the Key of D chord family – and it looks like he is tuned to double drop D.
