This week's Video Riff features the intro chord progression from "Fly By Night" as played by the Canadian rock trio Rush. This progression is based on a sequence of six different chords, which are D major, A7 sus 4, C add 9, G/B, G minor/Bb, and A major. The sound of this progression comes from the combination of stummed chords along with arpeggiated chords. There is also a short little scale riff that is used to tie together the chord change from A7 sus 4 to C add 9. Pay close attention to your picking hand as well as your fretting hand to make sure that they are working together to get the right chord changes as well as the right picking and strumming patterns. Remember that you can SLOW DOWN the video and LOOP IT until you can get the progression and the rhythm up to full speed.
