What is a riff?
A riff is a progression of chords, intervals or musical notes, which are repeated in no context of a song, forming a basis or accompaniment. Riffs generally form a harmonious basis of music, blues and rock. Riffs are often compound phrases for electric guitar, but can often be used with riffs for other instruments such as bass, piano, keyboards, etc.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
