Favourite guitar riff?

[haizen]

I have many, but right now can only think of a few

Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard (intro)

I'm Broken by Pantera (Dimebag Darrell was simply amazing)

Sad but true by Metallica (now that is one slow HEAVY riff...absolutely soothing)

 

[haizen]

omg
sorry mods..this was supposed to be on time pass

 

[blinding light]

Wrong forum brother

Anyway, mine is the eternal Eddie Van Halen guitar solo in Michael Jackson's BEAT IT. And to think, he could've made billions out of just that, but he did it for free

Sweet Child Of Mine has a pretty good one...not so much into heavy metal.

 

[haizen]

I know bro already apologized for it


Eddie Van Halen is amazing man...and BEAT IT does have an amazing riff no doubt

Intro of Aadat by Jal seems to have an effect on me.

I'm quite partial to most of Junoon's songs too. Great talent, Salman Ahmed.

However, I'm more drawn to piano than guitar.

[Romali_rotti]

Eddie Van Halen has passed away at age 65

So heart broken by Eddie's passing away, my favorite guitarist after Hendrix & Clapton :**(.. RIP, still remember watching all his videos of Eruption while learning how to play that on my guitar a lifetime ago, I would get such a rush of energy watching him play... God speed recovery and peace for his family.. Another legend leave us....

I don’t like rock guitar solos on the whole. Often screeching and unpleasant.

I like a lot of jazz, soul and funk guitar - Pat Metheny, George Benson, Nile Rodgers. Much more soothing.
