THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF A STYLE RIFF
It is important to be familiar with the basic structure of a Style. Styles
provide automatic accompaniments based on the chords.
Major, minor and 7th chords generate three very different types of
accompaniment.
Each accompaniment generated by Major, minor or 7th chords, is
divided into four Variations. Each Variation is divided into various
parts: Basic, Intro, Fill, Ending, which compose the basic structure of
each Style, in 40 short patterns, or the “Riff”.
A Riff is a music pattern that plays cyclically. When you play with
Styles you will hear brief patterns that repeat themselves. A “basic”
Riff is the main part of a Style, repeatedly played until it is stopped, or
until it is interrupted by Fill, a Intro or an Ending. The length of a Riff is
variable between 1 measure (MIN) and 16 measures (MAX).
