Hi and welcome to my latest lesson, which is a mega-sized riff extravaganza!
You lucky so and so's have a feast of classic rock, prog rock, metal and grunge riffs ahead of you, all slammed together in one long track.
The idea is that you'll improve your technical abilities whilst getting a taster of some great bands at the same time.
Some of the sections are more technical than others so expect to encounter power chords, alternate picking, picking arpeggios, slides and hammer-ons. In order, the bands whose riff ideas we're borrowing are as follows;
Led Zeppelin
Rush
Aerosmith
Guns n' Roses
AC/DC
King Crimson
Genesis
Deep Purple
ZZ Top
Black Sabbath
Journey
Toto
Megadeth
Metallica
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Dream Theater
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Get ready to dive into rock history!
