A riff is a guitarist’s signature — worth sharing.

Djent riffs

Djent is the palm-muted, syncopated, low-tuned rhythm style that grew out of Meshuggah and took over modern prog metal: tight chugs, odd groupings and extended-range guitars. Most are in Drop E on 8-string guitars. Each one has tab and video — slow it down and loop it.
