web feature Best Guitar Riffs Ever

[Hopix]

Eruption is just a wankfest.

 

No soul or emotion in it whatsoever.

 

I don't think that kind of tapping even counts as a riff tbh.

[Rich0]

I prefer hysteria riff but PIB is still very good and most people I play it to are impressed by it.

[Iddy]

Hendrix rules. That riff is legendary, even my sister who has a rubbish music taste knows about it.

Really? I've never went to a professional guitar teacher and in 1 month playing I was able to play the entire riff (on classic guitar).

Purple Haze is better.

Purple Haze is better.

 

I meant in terms of how it sounds, I learnt it after 2 weeks.

[Deano88s]

Hysteria is a bass riff.

 

...And so is Seven Nation Army!!!

 

Its not...

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Nation_Army

 

Although it sounds like a bass guitar (an instrument the group had famously never previously used), the sound is actually created by running Jack White's semi-acoustic guitar (a 1950s style Kay Hollowbody) through an octave pedal set down an octave.

Somehow I think the poll answers are a bit biased

[SpiralDale]

Heartbreaker for me.

 

Lol at people actually thinking PiB is the best

[boomeraangsquad]

I voted Black Dog.

 

SS's riff >>> PiB's riff

 

imo

 

Heartbreaker for me.

 

Lol at people actually thinking PiB is the best

+1

[lukester911]

Heartbreaker for me.

 

Lol at people actually thinking PiB is the best

 

I don't, I just voted for it.

 

 

*rigging is wrong and I feel ashamed of myself, I've written this in smaller text so most don't see my self loathing*

[Wingardium LevioSIA]

I can't pick between Whole Lotta Love and Plug In Baby!

[L.]

I picked Voodoo Child.

 

I've never understood all the fuss about PiB, personally I prefer the Dead Star riff.

[brian27]

Did Eddie VH play the main riff on Beat It?

[Heavy_Cross]

Voodoo Child, Hendrix is one of the sole people able to call himself a god:happy:

[Heavy_Cross]

Did Eddie VH play the main riff on Beat It?

 

He played the solo...

[brian27]

He played the solo...

Cool.

cheers

[Uccellino]

Just seen another one of these top whatever riff type things here:

PIB comes 46th on this one.

[Kazy-Babie]

That's a crappy list tbh, There are a tonne of beatles riffs better than Day Tripper, Helter Skelter and While My Guitar Gently Weeps pop into mind, in fact I'd vote WMGGW as the best riff, even if it was Eric Clapton and not George Harrison playing it.

And New Born trumps Plug In Baby any day

[Jaunzems]

I would vote for Agitated, if I were a big music magazine editor.

by the way, Whola Lotta Love.

[Anxyous]

Best Guitar Riffs lists sucks cause chances are that 80% of whatever content is on there will always be the same throughout every publication or magazine.

 

Ever wondered why?
