hey guys!!! its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with a very special Riff Retrospective on one of the greatest guitarists of all time: John Sykes! His careers with Tygers of Pan Tang, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Blue Murder, and of course his solo career have yielded a megaton of incredible riffs, and we are here today to celebrate them!
Armed with a Mesa Badlander 100 rack mount, Suhr RL/IR, Ownhammer IR, Logic Delay and Reverb, a Boss SD1, and my buddy Mitch's Les Paul Tribute, i'm gonna take you all through his entire career, spotlighting some of his greatest riffs from across his career.
