Best guitar riff ever...
 

..or just really good ones..?...

All good but at 6:20 is my favourite

Sweet Child O mine is in my opinion the best in the history of music. Seeing as that has already been chosen and I could list about 5000 i'll stick to just two.






Ok maybe a 3rd



One more for luck

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Rebel Rebel or Song 2.

..yes, yes and Soul Love has got to be one of the best Sax songs..it just goes straight through me and gives me goosebumps...

also Ziggy Stardust's immediately makes me happy :love: but I should probably stop now or I'll come across as a stan :blush2:

..you can't stan David Bowie, you can only appreciate greatness and worship it for what it is...

Oh and the obvious bit of this of course... genuinely makes me excited.

..also Smoke on the Water is another obvious one, it's the only one I can play on guitar because my brother taught me it parrot fashion..the same with Albatross on piano..also this...

God on a Guitar



Freak of Nature



Distinctive



So good he needs to have two entries in this



Set the standard, Iconic, Legendary

So many good guitar riffs from many different genres and decades it's tough to come up with a best riff ever.
Hendrix is right up there with many great tunes. Not a huge Clapton fan but some of the songs he did on the Disraeli Gears album by Cream were amazing!!!! Jimmy Page has definitely come up with some of the best riffs ever written too. A true legend on the guitar!!!
There's loads of great modern guitarists that are mind blowing too.

I can't even start posting specific links without really thinking this through but i'll be coming back to this post when i have a few free hours to leave my contributions!!!

Here's just one that i consider a classic from one of the most gifted guitarists of the (relatively) modern era;



Many more to follow shortly!!!!!:laugh:
