Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize - Guitar Solo Tab

About Cum On Feel The Noize

Few songs sum up early 1980s arena rock quite like this one, and the guitar work is a big reason why. The main riff sits squarely in E major at 120 BPM, giving it a driving, mid-tempo swagger that feels natural in E Standard tuning. The riff itself is built around power chords and a punchy single-note figure, so getting the right attack with your pick hand is key: too soft and it loses its punch, too stiff and the groove disappears. Beginners will find the chord shapes approachable, but nailing the rhythmic feel and the slight palm muting on the low strings takes some attention. If the riff transition into the chorus is giving you trouble, use the Practice Toolbar to loop that section slowed down until the movement is automatic. Quiet Riot brought this Glam Metal anthem to a massive American audience, and it remains a solid workout for anyone building confidence with power-chord-driven rock rhythm playing.

• The main riff is built on E-major power chords in E Standard tuning, making it very accessible for players who are comfortable with open-position and fifth-fret shapes.
• Palm muting on the low E string is essential for locking in the punchy, driving feel that defines the verses.
• At 120 BPM the tempo is moderate enough to practise cleanly at full speed once you have the riff shapes under your fingers.
