Picked 16'th notes. Each beat of the jam track correspond to 4 picked notes - therefore there are 16 notes in each bar, hence, the name 16'th notes. -----|-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- ---------------------------------------|-- ---------------------------------------|---- The tab above is the riff as played in the example file. Every note is picked, using strict alternate picking. There are no hammers and pulloffs. -----|-8-5-5-5-8-5-5-5-8-5-5-5-8-5-5-5-|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- At the high tempo's this is a simpler variation, which involves just one left hand fingering move for each group of 4 16'th notes. -----|-8-5-8-8-5-5-8-5-8-5-8-8-5-8-5-5-|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- -----|---------------------------------|---- Here's a paradiddle variation - like the previous example it only involves a single fingering move, but the more complex pattern change makes it sound more interesting.
