Learn the riff to Black Sabbath’s Iron Man
May 9th, 2011 Seekbuster This has been called the greatest metal riff of all time and therefore is a must for your repertoire.

Black Sabbath’s Paranoid Riff
May 2nd, 2011 Seekbuster You just can’t get enough Black Sabbath so here is Paranoid. It’s a quick and dirty lesson really but it will give you a decent idea and you should be able to clean it up and play it better then the video with a little practice.
Play Slayer’s Raining Blood Riff
May 1st, 2011 Seekbuster While I have to admit that I was never a huge Slayer fan, their music was always around me in my youth and the main riff from Raining Blood just takes me back and gets my head banging in seconds! Here’s the video, enjoy!
