Riffage: Classic Rock is a loving tribute to the days of the British Invasion (artists like the Stones, the Who, the Beatles, and Cream) as well as the edgier sound that followed in the next decade: arena-filling giants like Queen, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin. These eras were the birthplaces of many legendary electric guitar tones and performance styles, which is exactly what we set out to capture with this library.

From the choices of guitars to the six included amp tones to the writing of the riffs and licks themselves, each of the 300 looped phrases in the library pays homage to 1960 and 1970s rock and roll. There are 100 phrases each at 80 bpm, 120 bpm, and 160 bpm, so you can choose anything from laid-back, bluesy vibes to high-speed, high-voltage shredding.

Just like other libraries in the Riffage series, Classic Rock is designed to deliver the most authentic, realistic sound as quickly and easily as possible. You can use it to inspire a brand new song, add a dash of era-appropriate flavor, or lay down complete backing tracks. Of course you don’t have to be working on a rock single; Riffage: Classic Rock works just as well for TV and video game scores that need to capture that sound. Lay down the groove as a starting point and write anything you can imagine over the top.

From riffs and licks in every key to straightforward rhythm guitar parts, there’s enough room to build out a song in any key and virtually any tempo you want. A variety of phrase endings help you stick the landing and give you even more combinations you can use to build out a sound that’s uniquely yours.

It also plays well with our existing Riffage: Hard Rock, which includes some overlapping inspiration. The sound for Classic Rock is a little lighter, while Hard Rock has more of an edge. But if you want a huge collection of classic sounds with even more variety, the two collections have enough crossover to work well together.

Riffage: Classic Rock gets you locked into a tight groove fast, with rhythm guitar licks and riffs looped to perfection, recorded on era-perfect Les Paul and SG-style guitars with humbucker pickups.

Get a super-wide sound out of the box, since every single riff was recorded twice (double tracking) through a clean direct-in (DI). Then we re-amped those performances through 6 classic amps from iconic heavy hitters like Fender, Marshall, HiWatt, and Vox. It’s the garage rock jam of your dreams, and you can take it anywhere you want.
