Disappointing.........the producers didn't seem to have a set idea of what a riff is.......they included a few classics (S. on the W. Obviously...Beat it (M. Jackson) AC/DC etc) but then wandered off into how the electric guitar is/has been used in various guitar bands like King Crimson, The Smiths Joan Jett  .

Where were the Beatles (e.g.paperback writer) the Eagles (e.g.Life in the fast lane) the Stones (any number of songs). Better than the World Cup though.
