Favorite Guitar Riffs

[strummingram]

A pair rather underrated/underappreciated rock'n'roll bands and their riffs:



The Cult Electric is one of THE GREATEST Rock Albums of all time.



So is Billy Squier's Don't Say No

 

[Terror Beard]

Not even the best riff of 1988...

Ok, I'll play along. You obviously are dying for me to ask so,...

"Gee @dadika13 , what song do you think had the best guitar riff of 1988?"

 

[Archer2]

Supposedly one of the hardest riffs to play in the history of Rock and roll. Starts at the 2:19 mark. There's a guitar aficionado who made a video describing how to play it and it is unique. Larry Carlton was sick.

The Dan will always get a LIKE from me.

Another great riff by Skunk Baxter.

Go to the 4:58 mark if you want to skip to Davids solo. The man is a genius!

Momentary Lapse is way underrated.

Momentary Lapse is way underrated.

Oh yeah thats a good one too.

I love Momentary Lapse of Reason. There are some great songs on there. I am a huge Pink Floyd fan. Not the earlier stuff but starting around Meddle is when I picked up on them. I bounce back and forth to what I listen to Floyd wise. Right now Animals is my album of choice. Next week another album that I don't think gets enough credit I may give a long listen is The Final Cut. And yes I know the back story behind that album, but listening to David sing "**** All That" is quite bitching to me! I love it.

Two of the all-time greats... I was too young for Hendrix, but damn do I miss Stevie.

Mississippi Queen, best rock song ever!!

 

[strummingram]

Mississippi Queen, best rock song ever!!

It's definitely up there.

I like this live version, even though Leslie and Felix Pappalardi (most likely just Leslie West) miss the drummer's ques a few times to go into the opening riff!

My son has a Les Paul just like the one Betts is playing in this
