The riff is the foundation of heavy music, evolving over several decades and styles. Many of our favorite songs started with a single idea and guitar in hand. Anyone can write a riff, but what makes a good riff? Each week, riff disciples Austin Paulson, Dylan Adams, &amp; Justin Swindle attempt to answer this question by discussing their favorite riffs, how they came to be, and why we still worship them today.
