Pistol Slapper Blues, although not so much the Riff as all of it.

It was a long, slow christmas.

More of a revision really;  but for me it's been the main bass/ chord riff from that smooth Jazz classic 'So What' .  8)

Standing in the Rain - Wishbone Ash - although not just the riff; all of it bar the solo.

I have had to learn Blowin' Free by Wishbone Ash. I played the bass line years ago but now that I am a guitarist and the others all thought it would be nice to do, I set to it.

I wish I could learn some Wishbone Ash songs, but there's no sheet music available and I'm pretty hopeless at picking things out by ear.

God put a smile upon your face by Coldplay - bass riff that was though, pretty tricky with the slide and string skipping in the verse, and bass is a struggle anyways, but it vibrates nicely :O)

There was a tab book, but it was a limited print run, and there are no more left, much to my disappointment. All the Ash stuff I know has been worked out by ear by me or my guitar partner in crime, with gaps filled in by the odd internet transcription.

Yeah, I'm always on the lookout for a copy of that book.  But well done figuring it out!  :)

Cheers Philly. It took a bloody long time though, and irritatingly, on seeing a copy of a live dvd, I realised I'm playing the main intro riff in completely the wrong position. But I've learned it now, and I'm not changing!  :)

That's a good point, I've got loads of Wishbone Ash DVDs - I should pay more attention to the "hand shots"!!

The Curse of Castle Dragon - Paul Gilbert

Though I'm sure I'm doing half of it wrong at least, and shan't be continuing the learning process until I have a guitar I'm happy playing with again... all my current lot are great for rhythm and chords but when I play lead lines on them it feels wrong somehow... :s
