Last riff you learned to play...
« on: January 12, 2009, 10:45:35 AM »
... in keeping with the other topic, what's the most recent thing your learned?

For me, to my shame, I think that it was "You Shook Me All Night Long"...  One of those things I always "knew", just never got around to getting down accurately.

I think it was Nile, Execration text.

I rarely learn riffs anymore though, I mostly just make stuff up. In fact thats very very nearly all I do.

In a way the last riff I learned was one of my own. Planned it out, then learned to play it :D

I'm not a big one for "learning" riffs, but I did accidentally figure out Hells Bells a few months back (and then gave up trying to similarly conquer Back in Black :lol:)

I was in Drop C at the time so I just played some Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr by Trivium but I spent most of the time playing In Dying Days by As Blood Runs Black.

The main riffs from Deliverance by Opeth. It's the fills and solos I have trouble with.  :D

Not sure if you'd call it a riff but learned most of Eugene's trickbag. Four months of RSI but I got there

Rock 'n Roll Train

Gotta love that riff, and I'm hearing it everywhere right now ... even the corporate presentation used for advertising the company I work for has it. Not sure if thats a good or a bad thing ... :s

The Hells Bells intro has to be the greatest riff you can play with just two fingers ...
