Modern Riffs, Classic Lessons: What the 2010s Can Teach Guitarists – The Kirklees Guitar School Podcast S2 E14
In this episode, James and George step outside the world of 60s and 70s classic rock to explore what the 2010s have to offer guitarists. From Rolling in the Deep to This Girl, Runaway Baby, and Moves Like Jagger, they unpack what modern pop, funk, and soul-inspired tracks can teach us about groove, rhythm, and phrasing.
If you’ve ever found yourself learning the same era of guitar songs over and over again, this episode will inspire you to expand your songbook, challenge your habits, and explore how contemporary music can sharpen your technique and creativity.
We also discuss what makes certain riffs “feel” modern, why guitar took a back seat in the 2010s, and how you can use these songs to develop timing, pocket, and tone.
