Episode one
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi pulls back the curtain on the creation of Sabbath’s classic riffs and the creation of heavy metal, delving into tracks including Paranoid, War Pigs and Iron Man. He’s also joined by Queen’s Brian May for an exclusive jam session.
Episode Two
Legendary guitarist Andy Summers reflects on his favourite riffs of all time and tells the stories of the riffs that brought fame and fortune to The Police, including the opening bars of Grammy Award-winning hit Every Breath You Take. Andy also pays a visit to one of the best jazz guitar players of all time, George Benson
Episode Three
Heart’s Nancy Wilson takes us on a very personal journey through the music and the riffs that influenced her, tracing a through-line from the music of Heart into the grunge scene of the 1990s. She’s joined by Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil.
The iconic music trio will be joined by an array of guitar stars, including jazz guitarist George Benson, Dave Keuning (The Killers), Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Hank Marvin (The Shadows) and Orianthi (Michael Jackson/Alice Cooper). Together, they will cover riffs from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Rage Against The Machine and more
Presumably Richie and Orianthi will not be appearing together...
kind to do the heads up - but not for me thanks, I think there's some Jim Reeves on BBC3..................................
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Its my ball, and Im going home
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Perhaps, the series requires a better title?
It should be obvious to anyone why Iommi looms large in riff-based guitar music. Summers, whilst a superb guitarist, is probably better known for his interpretation of the compositions of somebody named Gordon than as an originator of riffs.
