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 E|----------------------------------------------------------- B|----0---0---0--------0---0---0------0-----0-----0-----0---- G|--4---4---4--------4---4---4------4---4-2---2-------------- D|----------------------------------------------4---4-2---2-- A|----------------------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------| B----0--------0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----| G-----------4---4-2---2---------------------| D--0--------------------4---4-2---2-0-------| A------2--------------------------------2---| E-------------------------------------------| 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 E|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------| G|--0h2-x-x-2--x-2---x-x-2--x-x-2---x-x-2--x---------2---| D|--0h2-x-x-2--x-4h5-x-x-5--x-x-2h4-x-x-4--x-2p0---------| A|-----------------------------------------------3p0-----| E|-------------------------------------------------------| d d u d d d d u d d u d d u d d u u d 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 E|---------------------------------------------------------- B|-------------------------------3p2p0---------------------- G|-------------------------------------2p0-0---------------- D|-------------------------------------------2p0------------ A|--------2p0--------------0---------------------2p0-------- E|--0h3h4-------3h4-0--3h4---------------------------3h4-0-- D5 A5 B5 G5 E---------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------| G------------------------------2--------------| D------------------------------0---2---4------| A--------2p0--------------0--------0---2---5--| E--0h3h4-------3h4-0--3h4------------------3--| RIFF NUMBER 4: -------------- "Block Rocking Beats" by Chemical Brothers Bit of dance music here. Incredibly funky riff though. And it sounds good on guitar.
