As the riff-tide of ’60s and ’70s rock ’n’ roll began to draw in guitarists around the world, this exciting musical terrain was rife for innovation, encouraging numerous shades of jazz, blues, and classical styles to be reimagined for a new, electric landscape.

Resident riff maestro Nick Bowcott takes you on a time-bending odyssey of the four essential classic-rock rhythm tones that shaped history and shows how you can craft these iconic sonics yourself, no matter your budget.
