Fun And Easy Guitar Riff Tabs For Beginners

Good day guitar gurus, Darrin Goodman here with a couple Fun And Easy Guitar Riff Tabs For Beginners for you today. As a guitar teacher I understand the frustration that new guitarists have when first starting out; knowing what you want to play, but not being able to play it yet. You must crawl before you learn to run, but I always try to find some easy riffs for new students to play along with the stuff you start out on that isn’t always as “cool”. One of the most recognizable guitar riffs of all time is “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne. This riff is not only easy to master, but is a great exercise for both hands, not to mention just a really cool riff.
