Australia Week-ly Riff – VOYAGER “Orpheus”

Voyager are an Aussie prog band that we like to cover, mainly because their music is interesting to listen to. Seems simple, but in this business, you hit a point where you’ve heard it all, and something that breaks the monotony without sounding like a cat tornado is worth its weight in cats. I mean, gold.

So when we asked them to break down one of their riffs for us and they agreed, I was giddy as a kitten. They seemed to enjoy themselves as well, in fact, Simone seems like she may have had too much catnip. But they pull it together to teach you to play a serious riff, one that’s gonna take some real practice to get your paws around.

So grab your axe (7 strings or GTFO in this case) right meow and let Simone and Scott teach you the ways of Orpheus, in this Australia Week Weekly Riff!
