Synopsis

This book explores 200 of the best known riffs, examining how they have been developed and used by great rock musicians, from Cream and Led Zeppelin, through Nirvana and Soundgarden, to Metallica and Limp Bizkit. Divided into two sections, the first half of the book analyses classic rock riffs and reveals the stories behind their creation. Easy-to-read text describes and explains each riff, supported by illustrations and a CD of audio examples. The book's second section is a creative digest that shows how to construct great riffs and why they work. Readers learn how to shape a melody, integrate a guitar riff with the rest of a song, enhance a riff with effects, and work with intervals and scales to build riffs.
