AFI – Girl's Not Grey
Total Guitar issue 207 is a Monster Riffs special. In an effort to put the final nail in the coffin of ‘Smoke On The Water’ and find a new set of classic riffs which we could spend our days eulogizing, TG asked you to vote for The Greatest Riffs Of The Decade. Anything post-1999 was valid, as long as it featured an identifiable guitar riff. Here’s what you came up with...
Check out Total Guitar issue 207 (on sale 1 October - 29 October) for a more detailed look at the riffs featured on the list, including learn-to-plays, artist interviews and technical analysis. Not to mention a cover feature on 'The Human Riff' Keith Richards and a riff-writing masterclass with Tom Morello, Wes Borland, Razorlight and Cancer Bats.
