Watch guitarist Molly Miller show you how to play the riff from “Over the Fence,” taken from the Molly Miller Trio album St. George.

In this clip from Riff Lords, Molly joins us at GTV to break down the tension-building guitar riff from “Over the Fence.” Originally improvised during the song’s solo section, it’s played entirely over a G minor chord.

In this Molly Miller guitar lesson, Molly shows you how to create a melody using notes from a G minor chord while adding G minor 9 and G minor 6 colors. Watch how she explains how playing on the upbeats and moving a chord voicing down by a half step creates tension before resolving, and learn the difference between hybrid picking and using a pick before she walks you through the pull-offs, hammer-ons, chord voicings, and pinky work needed to play the complete riff.

As Molly explains, the riff helps take the song “from a simmer” to “a light boil,” gradually building towards the climactic moment of the G minor solo section. If you want to learn how to make intricate solo voicings from chords, this is a really great guitar lesson for you.
