La vuelta al Rock en 100 Riffs.

Alex Chadwick, guitarrista y empleado de Chicago Music Exchange, -casa americana de instrumentos-  logró algo nunca visto: repasar en una sola toma los 100 riffs más importantes de la historia del rock mundial.

Desde los acordes"beatlescos" clásicos, hasta las melodías punk pop de Green Day, pasando por la intensidad guitarrera de los White Stripe y sin dejar de lado las legendarias notas de Jimi Hendrix y los Rolling Stones; los 100 mejores riff de la historia se pueden escuchar en solo tema.

Alex Chadwick, un empleado de una casa de instrumentos norteamericana, se atrevió a realizar la pretenciosa hazaña de compilar -en una sola canción- años y años de historia musical.

El notable resultado del experimento de interpretar los 100 mejores riff en orden cronológico ha sido ampliamente visitado en Youtube, y demuestra que el talento musical puede estar oculto en cualquier lugar. 

Son 12 minutos de puro Rock, que incluyen a Pink Floyd, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Green Day, Led Zeppelin, Queen, y muchísimos más.

Los grandes ausentes de esta lista son The Doors, Kiss, Sex Pistols y Iron Maiden. Pero para ser un primer intento no está nada mal.

Disfruten de este paseo histórico a bordo de una guitarra.
