Parece que trabajar rodeado de instrumentos le dio a Alex Chadwick, empleado de una tienda de música en Chicago, tiempo e inspiración suficientes para tocar 100 de los riffs más representativos de la historia del rock en una sola toma. Chadwick, usando una Fender Stratocaster, e incluso dándose el lujo de cambiar de efectos, repasa en 12 minutos más de 60 años de historia distorsionada, desde Chuck Berry hasta los Strokes. Este tipo de videos están siendo muy utilizados por profesionales de la música para darse a conocer. Mediante un recopilatorio de videos en forma de book o video currículum, muchos músicos se promocionan online con grandes resultados.
Podría decirse que no falta nadie. Arranca con Chet Atkins, luego pasa por Jhonny Cash, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Black Sabath, Pink Floyd, Greatful Dead, Dire Straits, The Police, Santana, Yes, Michael Jackson, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers y más. Véalo y viaje por el rock usted mismo.
