No tabs but...

"National Anthem" - Radiohead
"I Might Be Wrong" - Radiohead
"Rearviewmirror" - Pearl Jam

[notnews32]

national anthem by radiohead..

the bass line is so simple
yet.. amazing.

[JG2121]

Good Idea, Post the riffs you love. I'll start with
"Who did you think I was" by John Mayer .
I don't have a tab on me.

[HolyCow]

I think Why Georgia is a terrific riff.

[Carbon Copy]

i guess while we are on john mayer.

- neon
-another type of green

[watchtower08]

play that funky music-wild cherry

[jBURCH]

little wing - SRV
over the hills and far away - led zeppelin

[ExistenceNow]

don't know much about technical guitar, but the first riff of Tim Reynolds solo on Lie in Our Graves from Live in Chicago gives me half a stock.

[Dancing Ants]

little wing - SRV
over the hills and far away - led zeppelin

hendrix wrote little wing.

[DaveHead36]

Day Tripper - Beatles (lyrics written around one entirely great guitar riff)
Norwegian Wood - Beatles
Ticket to Ride - Beatles
Hey Bulldog - Beatles
Ramble On - Zep
Purple Haze - Hendrix
Satisfaction - Stones
#34 - DMB
The Stone - DMB

why litter a thread with tabs when you can just make references and easily find the tabs online...whatever floats your boat though

i'll add death cab for cutie's "title and registration" as well

[onemanguitarban]

why dont you go post that over on the Hendrix message board then?

This is a musician discussion forum that is not limited to the playing of Dave Matthews. Both of these songs, Yellow Ledbetter and Jimi Thing are obvious tributes to Jimi....this thread is about guitar riffs....I was giving the origin of where the ideas of these riffs came from.

[GeorgeJr.]

yes, good point- i didnt think of that

i like coming here for stuff but if the consensus is that this is a waste of space then i'll quit........sorry

i just thought that this forum could use some spice so to speak

[unccrombie]

well im not saying its a waste of space/money, but some people may not like certain tabs, ya know?

[milesofryan]

I actually think this thread is a really good idea, having a collection of different kinds of tabs available for exposure of different kinds of music. A person may not take the time to listen to a song or search for the tab if they are not interested in the band. But actually seeing the tab may catch their eye and discover something they may have never taken the time to examine. If people don't like certain tabs, its easy to scroll down right past them.

To each his own I guess.

Here's a clapton song I play all the time called Nobody Knows You When You're down and out from his unplugged album.

Norwegian Wood - Beatles
Ticket to Ride - Beatles
Hey Bulldog - Beatles
Ramble On - Zep
Purple Haze - Hendrix

hendrix wrote little wing.

i know Hendrix wrote it but the SRV version is all guitar and the intro is sick.

[zdeck37]

everyone should learn "the needle and the damage done" by neil young. it sounds great on an acoustic guitar.

[chr35919]

this riff is why i picked up guitar in the first place and i probably play it every day:

Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane

Cream - Crossroads, Sunshine of Your Love, Spoonful

Clapton - Layla, Tears in Heaven

CCR - Down on the Corner

Hendrix - Purple Haze, Fire, Voodoo Child, Angel, Castles Made of Sand, Woodstock Improvisation (the most amazxing guitar work I have ever heard)

Phish - Stash

RHCP - Under the Bridge

Allman Brothers band - Statesboro Blues

That would be cool if you recorded it, and we could compare it to my version. Even though you have the tab and the time sig, I'm sure it would sound differnet in the rhythm and such.

How do you see the keyboard with their balls in your face?

funny.

whatever, i just listed some of my favorite guitar riffs. they just all happened to be by phish, which isn't surprising considering trey is one of the badest motherfuckers on the planet.

i love tons of riffs by other artists as well, but there seems to be a severe lack of respect and understanding of phish around here, so i thought i'd throw a few tunes out there.

[Dancing Ants]

Axilla IS a fuckin badass tune.

Bowie ending is INSANE...love to play that.

[earl]

I like Phish, too. Just some friendly ball breaking.

[JG2121]

Morning Glory by Oasis is pretty fun to play.

Always With Me, Always With You - Joe Satriani

[GeorgeJr.]

bump for some more good riffs

[jmkratt]

Always With Me, Always With You - Joe Satriani

Yeah Any Satriani really - dude is a badass. Since is seems more acoustic stuff, this is my favorite of Joe's to play on acoustic, not too difficult and sounds cool.

Oh, another badass song by Satriani is "Day at the Beach" but its all 2-hand fret tapping which I find to be rather difficult if not impossible to sound good on an acoustic. But if you have an electric and you get it down, its awesome. I'll post the tab if you want it, but its kinda long.

[acost3]

In a little while - U2

[Socks]

there's an easier way to play it....look for the YEM powertab, it's not only easier, but all the parts are correct. great song.
Could someone post the tab or at least give me a link? I'm interested in learning this one.

[jimibadfish]

Beast of Burden-Stones
Taylor-Jack Johnson
Breakdown-Tom Petty
Woman in You-Ben Harper
Do it Again (chorus)-Steely Dan
Susie Q-CCR
Listen to the Music-Doobie Brothers
Jessica-Allman Brothers Band
Crazy on You-Heart
Know Your Enemy, Born of a Broken Man-Rage
Cosmic Slop-Parliament
Ventura Highway-America (I hate Janet Jackson, because she almost ruined this riff for me.)
Never Going Back Again-Fleetwood Mack

Just a few of my favorites.

[GeorgeJr.]
