BuffaloBill Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 It's a little slow in the offseason so thought it would be interesting to hear opinions about the best guitar riffs ever. Personally, I love the opening of Hells Bells by AC DC. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=etAIpkdhU9Q&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DetAIpkdhU9Q There are many very solid choices out there. It also strikes me that great guitar players are a dying breed. There is less emphasis on the art of the riff these days. Thoughts?
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 One of my first favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qFhM1XZsh6o
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 How do you get the actual video to show up? Next to the 'Font' box, there's a box that says 'Special BB Code' when you hover over it. One option in there is 'Media'. click that and put in the URL for the video. If the link says feature=player_detailpage, change that to feature=player_embedded.
Fan in San Diego Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 There are so many you can point too and probably be right but this one is a lot of fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMLnDuzgkjo
Gugny Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Why is "Heartbreaker" playing with a pic of Zep III? Anyway, great riff!
Justice Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Hard to top Metallica's "One". Edited May 26, 2013 by NoJustice
Jim in Anchorage Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Why is "Heartbreaker" playing with a pic of Zep III? Anyway, great riff! as per the uploader- "Uploaded on Mar 24, 2009 Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin. Off of the album Led Zeppelin II. I made a mistake on album cover, get over it."
Doc Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Hard to top Metallica's "One". I'll top you with another Metallica song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17HRV8k1YMw Edited May 26, 2013 by Doc
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 We've had this video linked several times but it applies here as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvtkUd0kkhU&feature=player_embedded

DC Tom Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 We've had this video linked several times but it applies here as well: If you're going to go with an SRV riff, go with an SRV riff. Or Couldn't Stand the Weather, or Cold Shot, or Love Struck Baby, or The House Is Rockin', or Scuttle Buttin'...he's got more than enough of his own work. If you're going to choose a cover of a Hendrix song, then post Hendrix... ...which I'd post a link to, if the board would let me. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zo5qWVMkah4
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I couldn't find a live performance video of Jimi doing it.
Doc Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I couldn't find a live performance video of Jimi doing it. Ever heard of YouTube?

BuffaloBill Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo5qWVMkah4&feature=player_detailpage Nobody can make a guitar sing like Hendrix. Not denying there are other greats just saying Jimi was unique in his greatness.
