This week's Video features the main riff from "Limelight" by Rush. This riff uses a combination of single note scale playing along with chords and strumming. The most important thing to work on with this riff is the rhythm. The timing of this riff is a little tricky, but this is what makes the riff so cool to play (the first several measures are in 4/4 time, and after the drums enter, the remaining measures are in 7/4 time). Remember that you can SLOW DOWN the video and LOOP IT until you can get the entire riff up to full speed.
