Give the talented
Alex Chadwick 12 minutes, and he’ll give you
A Brief History of Rock ‘n’ Roll, with each defining moment represented by a famous guitar riff. Our journey starts in 1953, with “
Mr. Sandman” by
Chet Atkins. Pretty soon, and quite seamlessly, we get to The Beatles and
The Rolling Stones, Hendrix and
Led Zeppelin, Queen and The
Ramones, and eventually some more contemporary pairings –
Green Day and
White Stripes. The video is sponsored by the
Chicago Music Exchange, a store specializing in vintage gear, like the $32,995
1958 Fender Strat played in the clip. A full list of riffs appears below the jump.
