This riff was made popular by Rage Against The Machine, but was originally
written by, yes, "The Boss" himself. The song, taken from " The
Ghost of Tom Joad," the album, is a story conceived from the novel,
The Grapes of Wraith, written by John Steinbeck. Here you will be using
a capo
on
the third
fret, so all notes are relative below. The riff itself isn't too complex,
but the timing most definitely is. The key here is to let the notes
flow, as no two verses in the actual song are played 100% the same
way. This riff should be fingerpicked also.
