Summary

In this episode, we’re taking a deep-dive into the Foo Fighters catalogue from a guitarists’ perspective by exploring which riffs reign supreme.

Musician and content creator Jeremy ‘Jeej’ Jacobs - who has created a series of YouTube videos about the Foo Fighters’ guitar work - brings his axe and expertise to the table. 

We talk through some of the band’s finest riffs, with Jeej providing live demonstrations on his version of the signature DG335 guitar. 

He also tells us about his extensive research into ‘The Can’, an old gas can amplifier that was used by Dave Grohl and Barrett Jones to record much of the debut Foo Fighters’ album.
