Favorite guitar riffs

316/ Drop Dead Legs chords by Eddie Van Halen. I always play some form of this progresson, usually when I warm up. Old habit with some fun chords.
The rest....
Little Guitars - VH
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Hendrix
You've Got Another Thing Coming - Judas Priest
Skin Of My Teeth - Megadeth
Message In A Bottle - The Police (played this for years too!)

Hot damn, me too! I love this song.

I will say that some of my favorites are (in no particular order):
Hammer Smashed Face- Cannibal Corpse (C'mon, you can almost dance to it, and it's death metal!)
Curse of the Castle Dragon- Paul Gilbert
Bury Me in Smoke- Down
(also) Ghosts Along the Mississippi- Down
Master of Puppets, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Seek and Destroy- Metallica
Evolutionary Sleeper- Cynic
Are You Dead Yet?- Children of Bodom
Scarified- (also) PG
and finally, for a little old school touch...
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress- The Hollies

Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden
Colony Of Birchmen - Mastadon

I can't believe I forgot this one considering I drove my girlfriend crazy playing this over and over again. I actually think the Cradle version sounds even better.

Money for nothing - Dire straits

[Defy704]

The Sound of Truth - As I Lay Dying
Arms of Sorrow - Killswitch Engage(really cool tapping riff)
The Air That I Breathe, Six, This Calling - All That Remains

Madman, Blue 42 - Haste The Day

I'm sure I know of many more, just the ones off the top of my head.

Ha, to each his own I guess. I still like both versions.

And I do know what you're talking about. I've listened to it so many times even my girlfriend will sing along to the intro. It's hilarious.

YES!! Dave Mustaine may be many things, but his 'riffing' is fantastic.
