Riffster Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Can't have one favorite riff really. But... I always thought Judas Priest's main riff on Heading Out to the Highway as the riff that flows backwards, I am sure there is a music theory explanation for that or it may be simply the feel they put into it. Simple but great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Before owning a guitar, many riffs inspired me to want to learn.....Last night I heard "Summer Breeze".... As a kid, I always thought that the quick solo was an amazing riff, with a great tone....Once I learned it, I thought, " D*mn, playing guitar is easy."...........That riff is, but..................................
