Great Guitar Riffs

[Breakingnews]

You know, that undeniable riff that starts off a song . . . one that you instantly know who is playing from the first note and it stands by itself as a classic . . . .

Here is my favorite . . .

Quite a few songs fall under this...more from years gone back.
Some of the newer songs today will never be heard after a year.

Groups like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Beatles, Eagles etc etc don't come around too often.

Rowlands does a great one. . .

[Hoops]

This may not be spot on topic as the opening riffs are not strictly guitar but 3 of my favorites are:

Stevie Wonder - Superstition

The Doors - The Changling

The Temptations - Papa was a rollin stone

I could listen to the first 30 - 45 seconds of each of these forever.
