Riff Life

[Bogner]

I Love Great Riffs And Thought It Would Be Cool For Us To List Something We Really Like With A Link And A Timestamp(s) To The Actual Part(s) We Like. My Hope Is That We Can Share Some Cool Riffs And Maybe Turn Others Onto Something New And Or Inspire Some Creativity To Make Music.


I Will Get Things Rolling Here With Lamb Of God Who Has A Ton Of Amazing Riffs But This Song In Particular Has A Few That I Really Enjoy.

I Love The Stutter Riff At 1:34

The Building Of The Part I Love Starting At 1:46

And Of Course The Sheer Mayhem That Starts At 2:06 And Goes Onward...But That Twin Guitar Riff At 2:20 Just Slays. What A Riff!

 

[Bogner]

Here Is One For You

From 7:52 To 8:11

Enjoy!

 

[Juan Luis Vidal]

The riff starting at 2:32 (verse riff) is on my top list: so damn fun and cool to play!

 

[Bogner]

Here Is Something Fun, Catchy And Of Course HEAVY. \m/ \m/

The Song Intro Into The Next Riff Are Fantastic Stuff!

From 0:11 To 0:49

 

[Bogner]

Here Is One for You!

A Lot Of Cool Parts In This One...Enjoy!

Love a great riff!!! This could go in so many intriguing directions. I'll start gently, not that I think I really need to. These guys dipped into metal riffs in a big way, then sadly got away from them. Wait for it:

Does anybody here remember the PRS Experience when Paul hisself got Jim McCarty of Cactus up on stage to perform? I'd never heard of the guy or his band, but that mofo played single note rock riffs like he invented the damn things. So much swagger in his playing! Paul was visibly freaking to see his hero on Paul's stage playing a PRS Singlecut. That was an epic weekend!

Heavy, yes. Fun? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

OK, so early in the thread instrumentals seemed to be a thing, so here's a riffy instrumental:

 

[Bogner]

Here Is A Fun One For You!

A Couple Of Sections Have Great Riffage

The Sections At :24 To :43 And 4:20 To 5:16 I Find To Be Excellent.

 

[DISTORT6]

Log jam of riffs - option paralysis - have kept me from posting in here.
Might as well post the first riff I learned as my opening contribution.
Opening riff.

"Holt" and "Riff" so naturally fit in the same sentence! Great examples here.

 

[Herr Squid]

This is gonna be a fun thread. So much good material...

I Love This Cool, Catchy Riff From The Opening To :17

I was really shocked when they released Heritage, and I still can't enjoy this album, but the riff starting at 0:32 is a little devilish and wicked masterpiece by Opeth

Somewhere in that crowd is a younger DISTORT6!
That was a loooong day.

I was thinking of posting that very one earlier tonight! Not to fear, I'll think of another one.

 

[Herr Squid]

Bear with the banjo intro... this one rips and it's accessible. Strongly recommended for open stretches of highway!

Epic Riffs Throughout This Musical Masterpiece. I Usually Pick Out Parts Of Songs With The Riffs I Like But This Whole Song Is Awesome And Great Fun To Play.
