Favorite Guitar Riff/Intro/Whatever

[seed702]

F both of you! I challenge you to a duel(or what would you call a 1v1v1, a triuel?)

We'd have to do it in IRC though, none of this google my answer BS.

 

[Hardy]

Best lead off riff goes to...

Iron Maiden "Two Minutes To Midnight"

LCB

:osu:

 

[Hardy]

One more

Lenny Kravitz "Are you gonna go my way"

LCB

 

[BB73]

Oye como va - Santana

Only AKAK on page 2 has mentioned Santana, according to a thread search.

 

[Texasize]

rage against the machine "bulls on parade"
jethro tull "locomotive breath"

 

[Muck]

Ry Cooder - theme song from Paris Texas

 

[buckeyeblogger]

Search and Destroy -- The Stooges

 

[Folanator]

Frank Zappa - Cosmic Debris

Zappa was hands down the most underrated guitar player of all time.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

...The guitar solo in the middle of "Only the Lonely" by the Motels is probably one of best "simple", melodic guitar solos ever.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the guitar solo in "Love Hurts" by Nazereth...

"THE THIN ICE" by Pink Floyd is an excellent guitar piece which is a great intro into The Wall.

 

[matz2]

I don't think it has been mentioned yet, but "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by the Stones is another favorite of mine.

"THE THIN ICE" by Pink Floyd is an excellent guitar piece which is a great intro into The Wall.

man im finding it hard to narrow down.. i love Time by Pink Floyd.. Cant You Hear Me Knocking - The Rolling Stones.. Strangle Hold - the Nuge

That list has serious flaws.
No Garcia

Zoot Allures but nothing from Hot Rats.

Sailor's Life not seen or heard from.

Ry Cooder missing in action.

Alice in Blunderland remains a seriously under-rated solo piece.

Etc. ...
