Bonus – LLGS Boogie Walk Riff
Congratulations on reaching the end of Level 1 of the core guitar course. As a quick graduation bonus, this lesson gives you a simple, rock & roll style Boogie Walk riff in an LLGS-friendly shape.
The idea is not to overload you with new information, but to give you a fun, classic-sounding riff that uses the same skills you've already built: power chords, muted chugging, and relaxed, low-load fingering.
What This Bonus Lesson Is About
The Boogie Walk is one of those riffs that just feels like guitar. In this LLGS version, we keep everything simple and comfortable, using a small box shape and a steady chug in the picking hand.
The video walks you through the shape, shows how it moves to a couple of other frets, and uses LLGS diagrams on-screen so you can see the riff clearly. You don't need to memorize written steps here – just watch, copy, pause, and play along.
Practice Ideas
Here are a few easy ways to work with this bonus riff:
- Start by looping the riff slowly on one position until it feels comfortable.
- Focus on keeping your hand relaxed and the chug steady.
- Use the on-screen LLGS diagram as a quick reference if you forget the shape.
- Try moving the same pattern to a couple of other frets once the first one feels solid.
- Play along with a slow drum loop or metronome if that feels fun and motivating.
- Keep your practice short and focused – even 5–10 minutes is enough for this riff.
Next Steps
This Boogie Walk is just a small celebration of how far you've come in Level 1. You've worked on chords, smoother changes, strumming, first riffs, power chords, and rock rhythm – this riff simply lets you enjoy that progress.
From here, you can:
- Go back and revisit any Level 1 lessons that you want to tighten up.
- Explore the Chord Library for more shapes at your own pace.
- Keep an eye out for future Level 2 lessons once they're ready.
