Watch as Alex Chadwick from Chicago Music Exchange gives us a brief history of rock and roll with 100 riffs–starting with Mr. Sandman by Chet Atkins and ending with Cruel by St. Vincent.

Full list of songs at Guitar World.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Stadium Arcadium: Special Edition Guitar Book with 2 CDs

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Rob

Just got the Stadium Arcadium: Special Edition Guitar Book with 2 CDs from Amazon. Apparently this project was conceived by John Frusciante. The tabs in the book are great and the CDs isolate John Frusciante’s guitar tracks and Flea’s bass tracks from the drums and vocals, which is super helpful for learning. I already put the CD tracks in my iTunes and dumped it on my iPad (I dig using Riffmaster Pro for playback). Working on Desecration Smile right now.

Dave Navarro – Been Caught Stealing

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Rob

Here’s a short audio clip of Dave Navarro from Jane’s Addiction talking about how to play Been Caught Stealing. Obviously you can’t see what he is doing, but you get to hear him play it both distorted and clean. There is a crummy video of a kid playing it somewhat out of tune here if that helps. Anyway, cool little riff.
