Established in 1998, the Metal Riffs site has grown into a large archive of accurate tabs and lessons in proper tab format (not text tabs), most with accompanying MP3 and/or midi files. This is your best source for top-quality transcriptions of hard to find hard rock and metal favorites. Detailed lessons for the solos from "Stairway to Heaven", "Paranoid" and several others have helped many students learn material that they thought was out of their reach. Recorded examples are usually played in standard tuning. Selections range from a few well-chosen measures to complete solo transcriptions. If you need to know the length of a particular tab before you purchase, please ask. |
