The pianists & keyboardists we admire the most don’t just learn pieces from sheet music. They take music and twist, transform & shape it into their own sonic sculpture. These are the pianists we admire the most, what they do is hypnotising.

We want to play like that, but for the most part, we’re told that the path to those skills is in traditional piano methods. So we learn the scales and the classical pieces, and suddenly you’ve been playing for 10 years but you still can’t play anything like THAT.

And that’s because:

Building creative skills requires creative training.

And all that creative training?

Begins with RIFFING!

But what is a riff?

A riff is a term used to describe short isolated patterns that can be used in many different settings. A riff can be rhythmic, it can be melodic, it can even be based on the way we play something instead of what we play (articulation).

When we identify, practice & memorise a riff pattern, we begin to build our ‘riff bank’.

‘Riff Bank’ is a term I use to describe the collection of riffs I’ve amassed over the years, and I’m going to help you build your own riff bank too.

These riffs we collect and store can be selected and used in any situation where we want to be creative with the chords that we play.

You scan through your bank to find the perfect riff to withdraw and apply for today’s particular musical creation. And your audience, is hypnotised.

You might not aspire to play to an audience. You might want to use riffs to write your own songs. Or comp from a leadsheet. You might want to use riffs to create your own piano arrangements of your favourite songs, or to improvise. All of these skills are automatically benefitted when you build your riff bank.

Riffing Pro will teach you what a riff is, when you’ll need one PLUS the 8 different categories of riffing and how to use them.

These include:

• Chord riffs,
• Bass riffs,
• Melodic riffs,
• Rhythmic riffs,
• Riff magnets,
• Supportive riffs,
• Mixed riffs, and
• Riff Thief (ie, how to steal riffs from songs you know & love!).
