Southpa Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hey all you young metal maniacs, . Give a listen to Frank Zappa, on Roxy and Elsewhere playing Son of Orange County. Aside from that I like Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson and Always With You Always With Me by Satch. But you're right, too many more to name.

daveq Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I have an OLD video tape of Eric Johnson from "Austin City Limits." I think I saw the same thing years ago (maybe around 1990 - 1992?). He was on some cable show with the name Austin in it. This was before I knew anything about him. Very impressive. So the while "riff" thing - I always thought a riff was a rythm thing? So when you talk about songs like "Dark Star" and "Always With Me", does the lead guitar count as a riff or a "lick"? (great songs by the way). Who came up with these terms anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natethegreat86 Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 i thought i'd heard that sumwhere before ab out the whole iron maiden/last resort thing. i just didnt know if it was true or not. anyways, whichever it comes from it still sounds cool. a couple more really easy ones that i just enjoy playing that are fairly new espionage by greenday secret agent kinda sound. pretty cool and the riff thing thats played during the intro to times like these by foo fighters(an AWSOME band!)

Guitarfrenzy Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 We'll when I think of riff, I think of mostly single note melodic patterns. So, with that in mind here are my top 5. 1. Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses (Slash intro riff is simple but effective) 2. Black Dog - Led Zeppelin (One of Jimmy Page's best) 3. Enter Sandman - Metallica (Hetfield is king of riffs) 4. Ain't Talking Bout Love - Van Halen (no need to add comment) 5. Hells Bells - AC/DC (Angus breaks out the evilness .. lol) Just my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Jimmy Page is a complete genius when it comes to rythm playing. Led Zep songs are very diverse, not necessarily difficult or complex, but extremely creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saber Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Time for a bit of nostalgia, here. Frankenstein (Edgar Winter) Jumpin Jack Flash (especially Johnny Winter's version) Southern Man (Neil Young) That's all for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wylde1919 Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 A riff is any short repeating pattern single note or chords. And its even a riff if you use constant variations. However in the venacular, a riff is just a music passage of any form, ive even heard people refer to portions of a solo as a riff. Go figure. And you may both be right about eric johnsons time date on austin city limits cuz i think he's done it twice. The more memorable is the one where he is wearing that dumb looking high school band jacket! hehehe EJ rips live, he does CLiffs of dover like 2 x faster its amazing to hear. Itll make your head spin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
