Hey Buck (or other interested guitar players) My wife and I were having friendly and nerdy discourse regarding the fight riff. One of us argues it’s an open position riff, and the other argues it’s in fifth position. Anybody care to share insight? . Great album  Mike. |

The fingers of the left hand work the strings on the fretboard and use the pic thingy with your right hand down near the bottom. Or the other way if you’re southpaw. Good to see you again , Nicksa |

Do I make him play right handed or buy a left handed one? 🤔 one more guitar ... |

Hi Mike! I just noticed this thread post was by you. "Fight" is one of those first position key of A riffs that Buck is so fond of.
People, check out Nicksa's 2013 LP "Adagio For Data And Dials."

In Fight kind of hear Buck's The Vigil meets Rush's The Spirit of Radio.
The good news for me is I know how to play one of those songs on guitar.
Well.... half of one of those songs.....
The opening riff. I can play the opening riff...
Poorly.

Thanks for the shout out Buck, I appreciate it (and am amazed you remember that!) And thanks for the insight. I’ve learned the riff on the fifth fret by just keeping the index down and giving my pinky the workout of a lifetime (that’s one way to strengthen it!) |
