    Guitarist Vernon Reid of Living Colour created an instant classic riff with his monster opening riff in the song Cult Of Personality off of their debit album Vivid.
    Cult of Personality went on to win a Grammy for best rock performance, but we don't care about any of that. It rocks and that is all that matters.
    For the most part the riff is pretty straightforward. However, you will want to pay attention to the picking because that will make playing the opening riff much easier.
    After that I decided to also include some of the quick little scale runs that he throws into the riff before moving to the pre-chorus.
    You may want to use some slight palm muting to get those fast note sequences to come out clearly. A nice thick distortion tone doesn't hurt either. ;)
    Ok that's about it for now. enjoy! Carl..

    My own personal opinion for people to try. In the intro - when Carl suggest up picking the 3rd note on the D string, also try doing a pull off instead.
    Ive found - that at least for me - it is easier to continue & keep the rhythm, and it also doesn’t sacrifice any tonal consistencies. Playing that way helped me a lot when I was first learning the song. Experiment! Good luck!

    • @JaxReds
      @JaxReds 9 місяців тому

      I pull off on both notes (unless it’s at the end of the riff)
      Idk If it’s a skill issue or a sound difference, but the non pull of versions have this weird hollow sound between the D string notes that just don’t sound like the song.

    Yes! This is right. Every tab I've seen of this has you playing the D on the fifth fret of the A string. Its very awkward and you cannot make the notes ring out properly. I was trying to realize a way to play it and I just could not see it. Duh...

      charles brown - both solos for cult of personality. There is a small one in the middle of the song then a really big one at the end of the song. I have been struggling with them. I learn them from watching the videos, not the tabs. There is a bunch of tabs out there but not much video instruction stuff on the solos. I need slowed down videos.
