I always to have a really cool but easy riff to play to impress people, anyone got one, you know teh one that always impressed you when a buddy's friend came over with him and played it and you said, man I wish I could do that?/
that's what I want, I learn scales but never seem to put together a cool riff of my own, anyone got any tabs to those cool riffs??

Which scale is the best, seems everyone is confusing me on this, G major, then a minor, then ??

I just want a really cool classic rock riff..

I almost always start my way off on rehearsals or gigs warming up with Iron Maiden's The Wicker Man or Deep Purple's Burn riff biggrin.gif It's just simple and in your face wink.gif

I'd love to shoot all the metal riffs that come to my mind right now, but since you ask for classic rock, you can try Zeppelin's Black Dog... or Rainbow's Man on the Silver Mountain... Simple yet very very effective! smile.gif Also, Bad to the Bone riff is pretty badass too biggrin.gif

Actually, I found this site where you have lots of material to choose from smile.gif

About scales... well, there isn't such thing as the 'best' scale mellow.gif There are scales which are used more than others, but that shouldn't limit you because you can always find a song in a different scale (key), so you should know how they are formed. smile.gif

Without going too much in theory, I'll just say that when you know one major scale, you pretty much know all of the major scales because you just change the position of that scale. smile.gif If you want more detail about that just let me know wink.gif

And when you know one minor scale, you can quickly generate all of them! So, the good news are - you only need to learn 2 scales - major and minor scale, and you can play a HUGE number of songs biggrin.gif

To make it even easier - There is a relationship between major and minor scales too! But I won't go into that for now, I'd just recommend you to check this out if you want to learn more about scales:
