Best opening done on a Guitar?

[Blue Fish 0]

smoke on the water-Deep purple

War pigs (by who ever did that one...)and Vengence (again, by who ever did that one!!)

Names of bands and songs have trouble sitcking in my head...

Any way, please share your favs with me!!

I it a sin to start one more??? really?

[The Seeker 0]

Of course not, but there already is one thread where you will find answers to your question, so why not link to it and tell you about it?

[Levis 6]

We are all for organisation and neatness here. No drinks without coasters.

No, but it's rude to snap back at somebody who is just trying to be helpful.

"War pigs" is by Black Sabbath

"Vengeance" (mind your spelling): could be by New Model Army. This does indeed have a splendid intro, with a snazzy bass-line, and ultimately, a great chorus as well- "I believe in justice, I believe in vengeance, I believe in getting the bastard, getting the bastard...". Is that the one you mean?

Try the intro to 'Alternative Ulster' by Stiff Little Fingers for a few evocative, clashing chords (for me at least...).

A classic "guitar intro", and no mistake.

The intro of "Ball and Chain" on "Cheap Thrills", the live album of Janis Joplin with Bigbrother & the Holding Co.

[Shadows 0]

I really like the start of Ain't It Fun, by Guns n Roses

[Blue Fish 0]

i would have thought "sweet child of mine" rather then "Ani't it fun" in my humble opinion...

[blind-fitter 0]

You mean: "Dang-dang-da-da-dang-dang-dang...dang-dang-da-da-dang-dang-dang...dang-da-da-dang"?

Another top SLF guitar intro:

"danga-dangadangadanga-da, dang-da-da-dang,

danga-dangadangadanga-da-dang-dang-da-dang" (Suspect device)

Bad To The Bone -- George Thorogood & Destroyers

China Grove -- The Doobie Brothers

[Blue Fish 0]

Whole Lotta Love?? Thats an AWESOME intro!! How did you ruin it again? I have trouble hearing the music you guys are writting down, part of my Dsylexia is that i can't visulise written sound if you know what i mean!! anyway, song names are good...

[Shadows 0]

Yeah, I like Sweet Child Of Mine too, but there is something about the start of Ain't It Fun that just puts a huge grin on my face

The Beatles had some great intros; the chord in A Hard Days Night, the long note in I feel Fine, the intro riff of Day Tripper.

[RonJonSurfer 15]

The intro to CSNY's Woodstock is a classic.
