CanAm Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 In no particular order: The solo at the end of Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd The middle and end solos in "King of Hollywood"- The Eagles The solo at the end of "The Bluest Blues" - Alvin Lee The middle and end solos in "Rama Lama Man" - David Lindley Just about any solo by Mark Knopfler. The man is a brilliant player. The solos in "Gene and Eddie"- Brian Setzer The extended solo in "Like A Hurricane" - Neil Young :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 There are just too many bitchin' riff's for me to pick just one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 The riff from 'Layla' by Derek & The Dominos is the best ever in my opinion Other great ones are from 'You Really Got Me' by The Kinks, 'Rebel Rebel' by David Bowie and that riff at the start of 'Revolution' by The Beatles. I think that Cream have some great solos in their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 My favorite riff would have to be either "Spanish Castle Magic" or "Voodoo Child (slight return)" both by Hendrix as for solo, either "Voodoo Child (slight return)" or "Dazed and Confused" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1104 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 OH! How could I forget... The riff from Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. Zep had quite a few great riffs but I believe their greatest was from "Whole Lotta Love". Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water" 's lead-in is the most recognizable riff.

Aunt_Acid Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Smoke On The Water has such a great intro. I love when that bassline just comes in pumping eight notes. It's better than you and it knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt_Acid Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 All the Aerosmith licks you put in suck. Aerosmith sucks. They base their entire song off of one lick and a sh.itload of meaningless lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They base their entire song off of one lick and a sh.itload of meaningless lyrics. You could say that about Ac/Dc, Van Halen etc. You can't base a band on how good they are on just their lyrics, remember you're listening to music not reading a book. Not all bands are supposed to be "philispohical" like Pink Floyd, U2, Bruce Springsteen etc are. It's also irrelevant to bring up lyrics while talking about guiar playing, so I'll comment on what you said about the "one lick thing". I'm not basing what I said on how good the riffs are, for instance I like the riff to "Walk This Way" because I think it's just a cool riff. Not because of how technical it is or how fast it's being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
