Clapton didn't write that riff, you goose! Dwayne Allman did, and he played most of the lead part as well!
Anyway, I'd go for the intro to Johnny B. Goode, by Chuck Berry.
Metallica - To Live Is To Die (Riff @ 4:31).
The eyelids were quivering on the first listen.
Gun 'N' Roses - Sweet child O' mine
CKY - Escape From Hellview
Damn fun to play.
WOW! Is my face red.Quote:

There are too many out there. Here are a few, but I can't pick a favourite.
Guns n' Roses: Welcome to the Jungle, November Rain, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City
Metallica: Enter Sandman
The Kinks: You Really Got Me
The Smashing Pumpkins "Glass And The Ghost Children"
AC/DC- Back In BlackQuote:

It has to be either the riff at the start of guns and roses 'aint it funny' or the one about 3 minutes into 'sweet child of mine'
the solo from 'stairway to heaven', its an animal to play. sounds great though.
flying in a blue dream by Joe Satriani.
I'd have to agree. Great song altogether, too. It might be my favorite Metallica song to this day.Quote:

A lot of Dream Theater's stuff. Especially on their 2003 album, Train of Thought. It's so insane. Also a lot of things that Randy Rhoads have done is insane as well.
Perhaps the riff on The Call of Ktulu by Metallica, it's the one quite into the song. There is use palm muting in it it is done & then gradually gets a bit higher... I don't know the time though.
The whole intro to "The way young lovers do." by Jeff Buckley. It's the Live at Sin-e legacy version. Truely amazing. But I'm sure he has some other amazing riffs too.
So many good guitarists out there, I could also name a lot from the Tea Party - Jeff Martin is a genious on the guitar, and on other instruments (i.e. sitar, oud, etc.) expecially when he uses a violin bow on his guitar in Save Me. xD That's awesome.
