Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff
A few days ago when posting a Coney Hatch tab, I wrote about how Kim Mitchell had played a key role in helping the band in their early days. It got me thinking: guess who hasn't been done in the riffs section yet? If you guessed Kim Mitchell, you just might be smarter than a 5th grader. (No guarantees, though. 
)"Rock 'n' Roll Duty" was the first single from Mitchell's 1989 album Rockland. The album went double platinum in Canada, and also produced the single "Rockland Wonderland". The disc won him the 1990 Juno Award for Best Male Vocalist, his third Juno. The tour for this album also produced much of the material for Mitchell's next album, the (mostly) live disc I Am A Wild Party (1990).
I had already finished this riff (the Intro) when I totally by chance stumbled across Kim Mitchell's short video guitar lesson for it on radio station Q107's website. I thought it would be great to link to the video lesson when I posted the riff, so I decided to add to the tab beyond the Intro, doing as much as Kim shows us in the video. Ultimately, I decided to go ahead and finish the whole verse. I've also added the Chorus, although it's really just a repeat of the Intro riff. So do your rock 'n' roll duty, and have a good time with this one.
