Description
What makes an opening guitar riff unforgettable? On the premiere episode of My Weekly Mixtape, I'm joined by Jason Whissell of It's Not That Bad to build the ultimate playlist of the greatest opening guitar riffs in rock history.
From arena-shaking classics to modern-day anthems, we break down the riffs that grab you from the first second—the ones that fueled air-guitar sessions, kicked off endless mixtapes & CDs, and turned casual listeners into lifelong fans.
Expect plenty of discussion, a touch of musical nostalgia, and a deep appreciation for the guitarists who wrote the hooks that defined generations.
