Released on the Screaming for Vengeance album in 1982, “Electric Eye” opens with a thunderous riff that defined a generation of British heavy metal—as soon as you hear it, it’s instantly recognizable. Richie breaks the riff down note by note, starting with the fast-paced main riff, then slowing it down to explain its E standard tuning, root note shifts, palm muting, and how subtle changes add weight and aggression to the rhythm.

From power chords with dissonant open strings to that signature pre-verse crunch, Richie shows you every detail of this riff so you can play it yourself.
