How to play Phish - Axilla
This is one my favorite riffs to play, the intro is straight forward but the verse is quite tricky. The song Axilla is from the release Hoist. The Axilla verse takes pratice, and challanges all of your fingers but once you master it, it's a fun riff to play.

The intro is a quick riff, bend the 8th note up and quickly release to play the next two notes. |

View Axilla Verse Video - Slow The verse is a tricky riff, it requires quick movement of your fingers and for you to really stretch your fingers. It challenges your pinkie but this is a good way to get that pinkie finger strengthened! |
