What are the easiest guitar riffs to play?
I play guitar since I was 10 y old. Im currently 18.I sterted already from hard solos and riffs, but of course I had to learn the basic ones too.The following riffs are probably the easier riffs I ever played:{ Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (1st part of intro, used in several parts of the music) [Fingering]{ Iron Man - Black Sabbath (Intro and base) [Picking]{ Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple (Intro and base) [Power Chords]{ Come As You Are - Nirvana (Intro and Base) [Picking]If you are just starting and want something easy to get skilled, I yould like to suggest:1) For fingering: 'Nothing Else Matters (Metallica) -> Only introduction for beginning, cool for getting some coordenation; Don't worry about learning it on the Hard Mode right at beginning. Start it from basic, you can skill up this music later'Stairway To Heaven (Lez Zeppelin) -> Only basic introduction for beginning, a nice song for starting on fingering if you're able for2) For Picking:'Fear of The Dark (Iron Maiden) -> You can learn until the base, right before the the fast "tananana" after what the music gets harder'Come As You Are (Nirvana) -> Ok, it's so easy, but seems many people has a little difficult to sing while playing and this music is a good one for training it3) For Power Chords:'T.N.T (AC/DC) -> A little bit hard to solo it, but the introduction and base are soft to learn'Back In Black (AC/DC) -> Well, it's good for training finger's speed on the shrill fast part'À Sua Maneira (Capital Inicial) -> It's a Brazillian rock song, its intro and base are awesome for learning power chords rythm.Hope has been helpful!

What is in your opinion the greatest guitar riff of all time?
There are too many to choose, for me. It would be like asking a chef what the greatest dish ever is.So now we’ve accounted for the subjectivity of my answer I will start to list the 5 riffs which I believe to be influential and inspiring.In Flames - Biosphere. Such a distinct and atmospheric sound to the song; unchallenged in it’s approach to form a death metal song with softer moments of beautiful Swedish melody.Pantera - Cowboys from Hell (although, Cemetary gates and Domination are close) The riffs in this song are endless and of the highest quality. It’s only because there are several amazing riffs in this song that it beats the other 2.Megadeth - Five Magiks. Again, instant vibes of wizards and ancient times blended into a thrash metal masterpiece; truly a wonderful collection of riffs and Marty Friedman's just absolute sheer perfection as a guitarist shows with his amazing solos and melodic take unto the song itself.Slayer - Reign in Blood. This has the ultimate riff; evil and deadly with a brutal feeling to it, but the song as a whole made it out of the top 3; although it’s still a timeless classic.Death - Empty words. A beautiful song with calm into which classicaly evolves straight into a crash of intense, deep thrash metal riffs with additives of scales quickly ran in an egyptian or melodic fashion. Lots of crafty work done by the legend himself, Chuck Schuldiner may he RIP.Notable mentions have to said:Metallica - One. Should be in the top 3 but in all honesty, a bias is present; where I have heard the song too many times. “Darkness imprisoning me…” is perhaps even the greatest most simple riff ever.Iron Maiden - Phantom of the OperaBlack Sabbath - Heaven and HellMetallica - Shortest StrawAnnihilator - Alison HellLed Zep - Since I’ve been loving youLed Zep - Rain SongMegadeth - Holy WarsDissection - Nights Blood (RIP Jon)This was a hard list to construct.
I Want to play some cool guitar riffs, any suggestions?
Depends on your style. I know three songs that I rip licks off of to this day, and they always go over.“Crazy Train” contains almost every kind of “shredder” lick you could want to play. It has tapping, pick scraping, sweep arpeggio, alternate picking, legato, an upbeat rhythm, string skipping, the whole bit. Any lick from the lead and even the main hook itself is great to play.“Eruption” of course. This was a staple back in the day. If you can nail the tapping runs everybody loves it.Warning about Eruption: today, you have to either pull it off PERFECTLY, even if you only grab fragments of it in something else you’re doing. Eddie himself has blown this lead on stage and the critics were vicious. I played a gig a couple of years back at a big bandshell in Queens NY, my big moment was pulling off Vito Bratta’s lead in White Lion’s version of Radar Love (and I did nail it), then the band after us was the headliner and the lead guitarist went right into Eruption. It wasn’t good, his timing was off and he even had one of the descending tapping intervals really wrong, and the crowd wasn’t pleased. I personally haven’t brought out Eruption since I was in college. It’s like playing Stairway to Heaven. If you’re gonna do it, it better be a really original/stylized version of it, or it better be SPOT on.“Cliffs of Dover”. The string skipping arpeggios and riffs in the song intro are top notch. Any of the verse licks and hooks are great to know, and of course the lead is a big crowd pleaser.
Is "sweet child o mine" hard to play on guitar?
Yes. It's a blues based riff. It is super simple, especially if you already know blues boxes. The legatos and bends on the solos are a little harder to feel out, but not the hardest ever. (You can hear the bends if you really listen.) Most of their stuff uses pentatonic scales and power chords. Easy Peasy.
Super Generic Blues Riff song?
I guess what your talking about is an 'E Boogie'. I suppose that it's 'super-generic'; I've played it about a million times. The riffs in SRV's 'Pride And Joy' are in -the bluesmans- key of E. This type of pattern has it's roots in Boogie-Woogie piano. 'Pride And Joy' is a Moderate Blues Shuffle (100 bpm). When you play it properly, his rhythm pattern should sound like two guitarists, one playing a walking bass line (from the Mixolydian mode) and the other comping double-stops for the I and IV chords, and the open B string as a pedal tone for the V chord. Use down-strokes on the bass strings and up strokes on the treble strings to heighten the illusion of two independant parts being played. The E-Boogie in 'Pride And Joy' has a short triplet intro, then four bars of E, two bars of A, two bars of E, two of B, one of E, then E7-C7-B7.
