Cool Riff of the Day Thread

[ShawnRT]

Since we have so many great guitar players on this forum who are interested in so many different styles of music, I thought it might be cool to have a thread where people are free to post a cool riff or two. These can be riffs out of popular songs you have figured out or just a cool little thing you made up on your own. You can just post it in standard Tab format:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Don't be shy, there are players of all levels on this board, so no riff is too easy. Lets see what you guys can do

I'll start this off, in honor of the man in the photo at the bottom of the page, here are the first few bars of Crossroads:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---2-----2-----0-----2~~~~------0----2------0------------------------|
D|---2-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---0---------------------------------------------------3^------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
x4
Thats the basic format for the first 4 bars with slight improvisation throughout. The first two times the last bend is a half step, after that it is a quarter step.

then:
D7
e|----------------------------2------------------------------------------------|
B|------------1-----1-------------1-------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------2------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0----0--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------3^-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|--------------2-------------2-----------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------1-------------1-----------------------------------------|
G|------------------------2---------------------------------------------------|
D|--0-----0-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------3^---------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Thats basically the first 6 bars and then it goes back to the A Riff. It's a classic and I'm sure a lot of people already know it, but it is a great riff that is fun to jam around on.
