This week’s episode of “Riff Lords” features Corrosion of Conformity and Down guitarist and vocalist Pepper Keenan. From the swampy heaviness of Corrosion of Conformity to the Southern sludge of Down, Pepper Keenan has shaped some of the most iconic riffs in heavy rock. On “Riff Lords,” Pepper breaks down the songs, tunings, and tones that defined records like Deliverance, Wiseblood, and In the Arms of God, as well as Down’s NOLA and Down II.
“Man, this was such an honor to be asked to do this for Gibson,” says Pepper Keenan. “15-year-old me never would’ve dreamed of this… It’s quite cathartic to go backwards and think about these songs and years of work in a different light. I hope the fans dig what I’ve been up to all this time, and maybe it will help someone in their own quest for riffage! Much respect. Thank you, Gibson. You rule!”
Pepper shows you how to play Corrosion of Conformity classics including “Albatross,” “Clean My Wounds,” “Senor Limpio,” “King of the Rotten,” “13 Angels,” “Paranoid Opioid,” and “Stare Too Long” — before switching gears to Down and teaching fan favorites like “Lifer,” “Ghost Along the Mississippi,” “Stone the Crow,” and “Bury Me in Smoke.” Along the way, he shares insights into groove, restraint, tone, and his unique approach to writing riffs.
