100 Riffs

Alex Chadwick, quien forma parte del Chicago Music Exchange, un local de venta de instrumentos, toca en el siguiente video 100 famosos riffs de lo mejor de la historia del R&R con una Fender Stratocaster de 1958. Al parecer en orden cronológico, desde Chuck Berry o Eddie Cochran a Red Hot Chili Peppers y Black Keys, pasando por Rush, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy…

La duración del video es de unos 12 minutos, dedicando tan solo unos segundos a cada tema, lo que es una putada. No importa si echáis en falta otros grandes riffs de guitarra: esta es una lista y las listas son así­. De todas formas muy buena la selección e inmejorable sonido.

El video se desarrolla en una sola toma, no se aprecia que el hombre consulte ayuda alguna y actúa sin vacilar. Un auténtico desafí­o para los dedos superado con matrí­cula de honor y una lección maestra sobre la historia del Rock.
