The Riffology Guitar Tab Book

130 Iconic Must-Know Riffs

(Contains only Riffs – Not Full Songs)

“The Riffology” offers a treasure trove for guitar enthusiasts, curating over 130 iconic riffs from a wide spectrum of artists and genres. Whether you’re into classic rock with AC/DC and Queen, metal from bands like Metallica, or alternative and indie sounds from Radiohead and U2, this compendium has you covered. And it doesn’t stop there; blues, funk, soul, and even memorable film and TV themes find their place in this comprehensive collection.

But “The Riffology” is more than just a tab book. It aims to enrich your playing experience and broaden your musical knowledge. Each riff is accompanied by useful playing tips and lyric extracts, allowing you to understand the context and emotion behind the notes. The ‘fascinating facts’ section adds a layer of intrigue and is a nod to the music trivia buff in all of us.

While other instructional books may offer similar content, “The Riffology” stands out for its breadth and depth. It’s an invaluable resource for guitarists, regardless of age or skill level, who want to dive into the heart of iconic songs without having to learn the full tracks. It’s an instructional tool, a trivia book, and a historical walkthrough of modern music, all rolled into one.
