I was thinking about this recently well teaching myself the song "Them Bones" by Alice in chains. The riff on paper is just a bunch of eighth notes, just going up by a half-step for each change in pitch. But in reality it's really hard to get the groove of the riff right, as the song starts in a way that implies there should have been a pickup note or three before the first measure but instead it starts in media res which is how it gets that cool off-kilter cadence without having any kind of syncopation or surprise rests or a stupid time signature.

What I've noticed in most cases of riff being harder than it sounds, is that the rhythm is wonky. Even musicians (who aren't drummers) often fail to think about the rhythmic difficulty of a riff, since as you're sitting enjoying a song you just feel it, with the context of a whole band playing so the groove is easy to subconsciously lock into. Of course rhythm isn't the only reason a rift can be deceptively easy, I want to know what other ones out there I shouldn't let fool me!

The song was referenced in the episode of Family Matters, "Crash Course", by Steve Urkel when Eddie Winslow crashed the family station wagon in the living room without a driver's license. Urkel stated that he is bad to the bone and that bad is his middle name.

Open guitar riffs are unconventional to play, considering that most guitar players usually stick to E standard. Unlike in Eb where everything stays the same except the pitch, open tunings change not only the pitches of certain strings but the whereabouts of notes on the fretboard (compared to E standard).

So, what are we missing? First and foremost, the open guitar riff in Seven Nation Army is in an Open A tuning. Similar to before, we just need to change a few strings to achieve E, A, E, A, C#, E. Essentially, the D, G and B strings all need to be a tone higher.

Moreover, Jack White uses the Digitech Whammy set to an octave down; this gives his guitar the low and aggressive bass tones that we hear in the record. Of course, playing this riff in standard tuning works just fine, the open A tuning just gets you a bit closer to the original.

To get the sound from Even Flow, we need to tune to D, A, D, F#, A, D. Simply tune the low E string to a lower octave D, the G string needs to drop one semi-tone, and the B and high E string need to be raised by a tone. Take a look at this TAB showing that legendary riff.

There we have it! A brief rundown of some killer rock riffs, all of which use some of the lesser-known open tunings. Remember, open tunings contain the notes within certain chords, such as E, A and D. Whereas Drop D, for instance, just adds a low D to your sound. ff782bc1db
