OT: Songs with great guitar riffs

[Ozimoto]

Not a guitar riff, but Mary Ramsey of the current lineup of 10,000 Maniacs does a wicked electric viola riff on their version of the same song.



Oh, and there is some guitar work in there too!

 

[Steelerone]

Hello Mary Low & Muleskinner Blues

 

[JordyG]

Buckley always does some nice work. But I hate that song soooo much. Probably more than any other song ever made. (and yes I know I'm in a very small minority here, but I just don't get it).

Me too. What's worse is some people think the slower they do it the more effective it is. It's like sand in your eyes.

 

[JordyG]

I'm going to confine mine to rock and R&B, and bands I've seen live.

I loved Chicago. Always thought they should have hung it up after Kath's death. Ditto The Who after Keith Moon passed.

Terry Kath was the MAN! Manhandles that guitar.

Wanted to get in on this and it has been busy. Maybe I'm repeating. If so, forgive me:

One of my all time favorites. Love Working Man.

What? No Brian May of Queen?

"Tie your Mother down", You can skip the intro and go to 1:00 minute mark:

Surprised this wasn’t mentioned;

Best song I’ve ever heard live. Energy was almost through the roof. Literally.

[Plebe]

One of the most underappreciated songs, vocals, hype-men, and riffs of all time.

 

[Ukonnfan]

Love the the lead part in this as well;

 

[meyers7]

Hmmm more rifs. We'll go back a little ways on this one. Malcolm (not Angus) takes the rif pretty much all the way through through. And you got Bon instead of Brian (on bagpipes no less). (much better IMO)

It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock n Roll) - AC/DC

 

[meyers7]

Something a little more current. Well at least this decade. A little opening riff. And you get Brittany's voice.

Always Alright - Alabama Shakes

 

[Ozimoto]

I like the guitar work in this song by Badfinger.

 

[Ozimoto]

And a somewhat newer song by Concrete Blonde. (I don't think I posted this one yet).

Lorelei from Styx. Big hit from my college days. Not heard much anymore

 

[Ozimoto]

Boston, another group that was big during my college days. This song from their first album was being played LOUD when my parents were moving me into my dorm at WVU freshman year. Tom Sholz was quite the quitarist.

Has some good keyboard work in it too, if you are into that sort of thing.

 

[Ozimoto]

And then there was Eddie Van Halen...

Slash tears it up on "Sweet Child o Mine" from Guns and Roses.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really hearing any rifs???? Did I miss them?
