Ok, many people have asked for more guitar store riffs, simple, cool
riffs that you can play to impress people. So here are a few more.
These are all done from memory, so if they're a bit off it's ok,
these are just riffs that don't have to be played perfectly and you
don't have to send me corrections for them. Enjoy!
RIFF NUMBER 1:
--------------
"Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns'n'Roses
I used to be a big GnR fan when I was 11 or 12. This intro sounds
incredibly cool. You need to have a bit of delay for it to sound
like the CD

RIFF NUMBER 2:
--------------
"Jailbird" by Primal Scream
Really funky riff. I've tabbed the downstrokes and upstrokes coz
that's really important so the riff sounds correct.
d = downstroke
u = upstroke
x = muted note
p = pull off
h = hammer-on

RIFF NUMBER 3:
--------------
"Mr. Brownstone" by Guns'n'Roses
More Guns'n'Roses. Good if you're exercising hammer-ons and
pull-offs. Strange timing, takes a bit of practice to get this
riff sounding right.
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off

RIFF NUMBER 4:

Bit of dance music here. Incredibly funky riff though. And
it sounds good on guitar.

RIFF NUMBER 5:
--------------
"Paradise City" by Guns'n'Roses
Ok, this is the last GnR riff, I promise!!
The intro to Paradise City is always classic.
h = hammer-on

RIFF NUMBER 7:

Really cool riff. Sounds good on electric with
some distortion and effects. I've tabbed the whole

to play along with the CD.
