Libertine Posted 30 October 2005 Author Posted 30 October 2005 The ones in bold, are the ones I think deserve to be on that list, but not necessarily in that order <_< I mainly agree with you there, but I think Plug In Baby deserves to be there, tis a very good riff.
The People's Hero Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 I've broken many guitar strings playing that riff. Think I get a bit carried away.
Tommy Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 I mainly agree with you there, but I think Plug In Baby deserves to be there, tis a very good riff. I do agree that it is a very good riff, but I can't stand Muse, so.... Out they go
Libertine Posted 30 October 2005 Author Posted 30 October 2005 I do agree that it is a very good riff, but I can't stand Muse, so.... Out they go Barsteward. Oh well.
CasinoGee Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 The intro to Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold is pretty darn good.
Tommy Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 The intro to Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold is pretty darn good. Correct yes, although it isn't really a riff is it
CasinoGee Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 What are we defining as a riff? It's hardly a solo and it IS repeated.
Tommy Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 Tis, you are right, but in my opinion, I wouldn't call it a riff.
Mark Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 Bad Religion - Sorrow It's nothing special, just because it's the first one i learnt to play
CasinoGee Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 First one I learned to play (and most other people): Smoke On Water Also: Come As You Are.
Libertine Posted 30 October 2005 Author Posted 30 October 2005 First one I learned to play (and most other people): Smoke On WaterAlso: Come As You Are. I do love the effect on that. I expect the first that many people learn to play is Seven Nation Army. <_<
CasinoGee Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 I do love the effect on that. I expect the first that many people learn to play is Seven Nation Army. <_< I learnt to play before that was even thought of I'm part of the old skool me
Libertine Posted 30 October 2005 Author Posted 30 October 2005 I learnt to play before that was even thought of I'm part of the old skool me It is a piece of pish..
Tommy Posted 30 October 2005 Posted 30 October 2005 Im gonna pick up my first guitar for Christmas, anyone got some tips for some t'internet sites for teaching and such ?
Libertine Posted 30 October 2005 Author Posted 30 October 2005 A site that I find useful is CyberFret.
Libertine Posted 30 October 2005 Author Posted 30 October 2005 Get a teacher. Some may not be able to afford it or have the time. They are quite expensive right?
