THESE FOUR IRISH JIGS... "TRIPPING UP STAIRS", "KESH JIG", "MORRISON'S JIG" CAN BE PLAYED IN ELECTRIC
OR ACOUSTIC PERSONALLY I PREFER TO PLAY THESE FOUR RIFFS IN ELECTRIC, EXPERIENCED GUITAR PLAYERS ADD
IN YOUR OWN RIFFS!!
IT WILL MAKE IT SOUND AWESOME! ALL OF THESE RIFFS ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED IN A FAST TEMPO! USE SOME BENDS,
PULL OFFS AND HAMMER ONES TOO WITH SOME HARMONICS!
THESE ARE MY FAVORITE RIFFS TO PRACTICE WITH... EXPERIMENT YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN.
