Hey everyone,
I am having trouble getting ska rhythm guitar riffs. I've tried hard to listen and find the tab and play but I just can't seem to make it the same. I know there might be peddles involved that I don't have but without peddle I cannot play it. I've recently tried learning a song called, "Pizza Day" by the Aquabats and the riff goes:
e 6 1 2 3
b 6 1 3 4
g 7 2 2 3
d
a
e
and the ska guitar repeats that until the verse which is a simple power chord riff but that right there is what I can't get. I've listened to many ska influenced bands such as "goldfinger, aquabats, The Hippos," and alot of different bands and I just don't see what they are doing. If someone could help me that knows how to do this with ska-upstrokes and downstrokes then it would be most appreciated.
