Take a front-row seat on the wild, unpredictable ride of a guitarist chasing the American dream through the clubs, bars, and back roads of the 1980s and 1990s rock scene. Chasing Riffs isn't just a rock guitarist memoir - it's a musical inspiration story, a living soundtrack of an era when long hair, loud amps, and louder ambitions defined a generation.
Blending raw personal stories with an extensive rock history, it dives deep into '80s rock culture - tracing the rise and fall of bands, the birth of new sounds, and the shifting rhythm of America itself. From the smoky dive bars to the neon glare of the Sunset Strip, from broken strings to broken dreams, it's a fiction based on true events that captures the pulse of a nation chasing its sound.
Told with grit, humor, and heart, Chasing Riffs explores the guitar hero lifestyle with honesty and nostalgia, revealing what it truly meant to live for the music. It captures not only what it meant to chase riffs, but what it meant to live through decades when the nation - and rock 'n' roll - were constantly reinventing themselves.
Whether you lived it, survived it, or wish you had, this is more than a story - it's a backstage pass to a time when every note could change everything.
