Top Guitar Riffs of All Times
When you go spelunking on your guitar, you fall in love with the sounds of its strings. You explore techniques, you slide your fingers on its frets, you hammer-on, you pull-off and gradually your fingers move with such precision that the movement would give the picture of a spider web if snapped with a low shutter speed camera.
I am not exaggerating, trust me.
It is at this point of time that you yearn to imitate a Nirvana or a Linkin Park, or maybe even the Gods of music- The Eagles.
So here I thought to write about the best guitar riffs, and while the internet is replete with a list of best guitar riffs that may extend to infinity, I am coming up with just a few random picks of my own.

1. TOOL- Schism:
If Nirvana were the Gods before the 21st Century, these are the upcoming ones. The way the riff goes sends you in a trance already. Go ahead and click on the play button to experience.
2. BREAKING BENJAMIN- Diary of Jane:
Another 21st Century song, which was released in the year 2006.
3. NIRVANA- Smells Like Teen Spirit:
And which amateur guitarist doesn't attempt this. Even listening to the riff sends a chill down the spine. They are the idols of all musicians, the gods of Music.

DEEP PURPLE- Smoke On The Water
Listen to this and your head will go banging on its own. ;) Enough said.


GUNS AND ROSES: Sweet Child O'Mine:
And you know that you are lucky to be born in an era after these controversial perfectionists. If you haven't heard of this song already, consider it a sin already.
