Favourite GUITAR RIFT in any Song ?
I'm not a muso, so maybe rift isn't the right word , but you know what i mean
l love the guitar rift in the original version of Eric Clapton's Layla also the into to Dire Strait's Money for Nothing |
It's riff, just so ya know...
My vote goes to any Black Sabbath song (the Ozzy era). |
AC/DC's "Back in Black" is 2 awesome.
They're using it in that new animated Disney movie. |
"Over the Hills and Far Away" by Led Zeppelin
|
Dr Feelgood...motley crue
|
Originally posted by KevinSmithIsGod Dr Feelgood...motley crue Yeah! That song/riff has a real groove to it. I even heard Janet Jackson say she loved that song for this very reason. Let me also add Iron Maiden's "2 Minutes to Midnite" and "Back to the Village"(sequel to "The Prisoner" inspired by the TV show) . |
I could think of a bunch:
Metallica- The Thing That Should Not Be Twisted Sister- Burn In Hell Iron Maiden- Fear Of The Dark Iron Maiden- Hallowed Be They Name Burzum- War Burzum- Spell Of Destruction Dark Throne- Skald Av Satanas Sol Black Sabbath- Iron Man At The Gates- Cold At The Gates- Blinded By Filth Metallica- Wherever I May Roam Boston- More Than A Feeling Rolling Stones- Paint It Black Led Zeppelin- Thank You Led Zeppelin- Kashmir Led Zeppelin- Whole Lotta Love |

Man O' War- Prince it's scary how he made the guitar "talk"
November Rain-GnR. Not the greatest but it's my personal fave. |
"Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" by Van Halen is probably my favorite riff of all time.
I agree that "Over The Hills And Far Away" is great. We refute your thumbs-down! |
:jawdrop: Can't believe nobody's mentioned "China Grove" by the Doobie Brothers. :jawdrop:

Led Zeppelin "Black Dog"
|
"Rude Mood"/"Life Without You"/"Little Wing"... - SRV
"5:01 am (pros and cons of hitch hiking)" - Roger Waters "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - Pink Floyd "Roadhouse Blues" - The Doors "Overall Junction" - Albert King / modiman. |
i know some of you might grill me on my decison but i picked stairway to heaven because it is the only song that i can actually play well.

Not sure if I can list an absolute favorite, but "Mike's Song" by Phish is way up there.
|
How Do You Sleep by John Lennon, far and away.
|
Def Leppard's "Photograph" deserves a mention
|

Not sure if it's my favorite, but the opening riff to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is pretty darn good (though I think that it's the drums that really make it memorable).
