Title: Best guitar riffs Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 20:58:03 Following on from all the other threads, what's your favourite guitar riif(s)?
I'll start with two of my faves. Both the intro riff and verse riff... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raRwPkv4GWU (Has to be the live version, the album version is shit) All of it, it's just one big continuous riff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQUxCQxu9og Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 21:02:13 I was going to post the same thread topic tonight:

Click the little icon in the top right, not the Youtube video.
http://www.last.fm/music/Paul+Weller/_/Sunflower From 0:18 to 0:27 - only 9 seconds long but my favourite riff ever. Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 21:40:17 Would've said Whiskey in the Jar too. Quality.
Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 21:47:11 Would've said Whiskey in the Jar too. Quality. Are you blind? Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: Spy on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 22:12:23 I was thinking of this thread too, but didn't because there are loads of great tunes without guitar solos but riffs are so integral that pretty much any great guitar based song has a good riff.
But I suppose you can pick a few... EDIT - wait I'm tidying this up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxwzL3ssqFs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xu-gp0XMmk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDgL24xRctw Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 22:14:29 You just need to put the urls for youtube vids spy. Ignore the imbed stuff.
Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: Spy on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 22:34:27 Fixed. Cheers Ben.
Wonderwall also came to mind but I'm not posting that cos everyone's heard it a million times. Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: chalkies_shorts on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 22:49:16 Kinks - You Really Got Me. Sorry for no footage but the old gits will know what I'm on about.
Title: Re: Best guitar riffs Post by: Spy on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 23:07:37 The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go is quite a good one.
Blur - Song 2 is another reasonably obvious choice of a big killer riff.. in the same vein you could mention Smells Like Teen Spirit. Cigarettes and Alcohol is a great riff.
