Posted by: liveOASISforever May 18 2013, 05:45 PM
What do you guys think are must learn riffs for guitarists and why.
I will start it off
Sweet child o mine
Reason
Everyone recognises this riff no matter what music genre they are into. And am pretty sure lots of people picked up the guitar because of Slash

Great choice mate!! I would add "Enter Sandman", "Beat it", "Seven Nation Army" & "Immigrant song".

Great rock riff....rock bottom!
As for the solo...mr slash admitted this was the only solo he learned note for note...

+1 on Immigrant Song and Rock Bottom! Those were some of the first riffs I learned to play. Also maybe add "Whole Lotta Love" and
"Black Dog".
Nazareth, "Hair Of The Dog" is a great one too because so many other riffs are played in the same position.

Don't forget Smoke on the water and Rock you like a hurricane!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 18 2013, 07:09 PM
I thought that you were going to say "Crazy Train".

As for the solo...mr slash admitted this was the only solo he learned note for note...

The intro/main riff from 'I'm broken' from Pantera - it really is a powerful riff that will make everybody move instantly!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 20 2013, 02:39 PM
Great one! Let's add "Cowboys from hell" and "Walk" by Pantera!
Posted by: liveOASISforever May 20 2013, 05:45 PM
That reminds me of Audioslave Cochise

2 minutes to midnite / number of the beast ... to name 2
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 21 2013, 07:39 AM
Yes indeed!!
Posted by: Darius Wave May 21 2013, 08:38 AM
Extreme - Pornografitti is a one big RIFF album that should be must learn
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 21 2013, 11:03 AM
Under The Bridge by RHCP! Why? The intro is quite a bit tricky to play actually and will get your fingers going. Also its a famous song everyone knows that will push you to work on chord embellishment tricks which are useful later on as well.

No, I haven't learned it, but by the time I am done watching this video, I should have it memorized.
After practicing this solo for two days - I've come to the conclusion that this video PISSES ME OFF more than ANYTHING in the world!
