100 riffs míticos

Uno de mis sueños frustrados en esta vida es no haber aprendido a tocar la guitarra (y el piano). Dicen que nunca es tarde, pero yo ya no me veo dando clases... Al menos me conformo con ver a gente con talento haciendola sonar. Como el caso de Alex Chadwick, un empleado de la tienda de música Chicago Music Exchange de EE.UU. que en un vídeo de 12 minutos junta 100 de los riffs "frases musicales" que distinguen rápidamente de que canción se trata, de guitarra más famosos de la historia del Rock interpretados a la perfección.
