Riff Riot: Unleashing Theory, Scales, and Rebel Stories

By Jason Earls

Riff Riot is a high-energy fusion of guitar education and imaginative storytelling. Inspired by the popular YouTube channel machguitar9, this book delivers clear guitar tablature, focused lessons, and creative sparks for players at any level. You'll find accurate scale and chord diagrams pulled straight from the videos, expanded insights drawn from the author's earlier books - How to Become a Guitar Player from Hell and The Underground Guitar Handbook - plus a playful dive into Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns. Beyond the lessons, Riff Riot features music-themed short fiction designed to fire up your creativity (all characters are fictional). Created with a little help from AI tools, it's both a personal musical archive and a practical, hands-on resource. Whether you're just starting out or refining your edge, Riff Riot delivers technique, inspiration, and a shot of storytelling magic.
