Riff of the Week: "Bad Boys" Whitesnake

Published on 18/02/2020 12:40

Here We Go Again with another Riff of the Week! Have you got your long curly wig and leather jacket to hand? 

It's your favourite time of the week Rockers, and we're back with another epic riff for you. This week we're jamming out to the ever-iconic "Bad Boys" by Whitesnake off their 1987 album, which will probably be stuck in your head for the rest of the day after watching this... sorry not sorry! The axe Jay is using is the closest to that of the Guitarist John Sykes, which is a Gibson Les Paul Custom. 

So, have your axe at the ready, plug it in, crank up the volume and get ready to rock out.  Who knows this one might be your new party trick! Don't forget to tune in next week for our next Riff of the Week. 

Let us know what your favourite riff right now is in the comments below.
