RenegadeMaster Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Title explains it all! Not my favourite or the best, but I think its a severly under-rated riff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar Chico Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 My favorite riff is probably Master of Puppets (the intro riff anyways). GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkuss Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Good call on Paperback writer! I love it when it goes up to that B octave for the Ahs and then comes back down to the E. One of the best sounding beatles records ever. I'm not that big of a riff man but I've always loved: Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground (nice chord riff) Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones You Really Got Me - Obviously!

brad1 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Depends on the day, depends on the mood I'm in. I have 100's of "favorite riffs." To name only one as "the best" would be an exercise in futility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster007 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Mystery Train played by Scotty Moore... Hell of a Riff. Not to mention that is the Guitarist who Changed the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timandbob Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 How about the theme from Peter Gunn.. Yes, a bit different perhaps, but that is one killer theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeMaster Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm not meaning to be rude here Brad, but isn't actually not naming one of your favourite riffs and just stating you have hundreds, just like we all do, an act in futility, no one here is impressed when you say oh I have hundreds, because I think anyone here personally has 100s, its more impressive to be able to turn that into one, even if its only one you like atm :) Its no biggy to say one you like, we aren't going to judge you!

matiac Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 ONE OF mine is the intro to "Do You Feel Like We Do?" by Peter Frampton on the "Comes Alive" L.P., that whole vibe going on in "Aint Wasting Time No More", by the Allman Brothers,great slide stuff by Skydog...man,that tune gives me chills when I hear it.

duane v Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 And may I add... One of the first licks I learned was the guitar lick to Twilight Zone... I love the sound of that guitar. Also the Harmonics lick when I power up my Verizon cell phone..... I just had to learn that one ..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rephil Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 For licks, of all thing, Led Zepplin comes to mind - probably Black Dog. Great call on Peter Gunn, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntelligentAl Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Of course, how could I forget the Bond theme! The guitar on that track sounds excellent as is instantly recognisable, and the same goes for the Peter Gunn theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less whether members here find my post impressive or not. I also am not concerned in the least about being judged. I post because as a member I am allowed to voice my opinions. Obviously there are others who argee with me (see Matiac's post). So I think that means others share my opinion as well. So I would say I make a good point. But you would rather say I am not "impressive." Hope that makes you feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think he was just making the point that it would have been nice to put down a riff you liked for the sake of continuing the discussion but i also appreciate your point and don't think it was a post to impress people.

Lord Summerisle Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Elvis Costello, Watching the Detectives. Unbelievably simple, because, with all due respect, Costello is a singer-songwriter first and guitarist second. Still, that 8-note reverb drenched riff, accompanied with a bit of a waggle on his Jazzmaster's vibrato...produces that famous 'spy movie' tone...

timandbob Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 How about the first riff we ever learn on electric -- the opening riff on "Secret Agent Man". Easy to play, but still a cool riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
