Name that riff

[Sixstring]

How about a spinoff game? This is to the Lyric Game, what "Joanie Loves Chachi" was to "Happy Days", but without the baked drummer.

But this one will make you play... We'll start simple.

One of the first and few cover tunes I ever learned.

The live version is the one I am talking about.

First little quick angry run on top of the main riff
(14 on the G string=p.h. and vibrato...then slide note down free-form..as you return to riff)
Least that's the way I always did it.

Good job, danelectro. Go ahead and take your turn- mine seems to have stumped the crowd. Unless Rman23 can solve it. The future depends on him!

he means you can do a tab and we'll guess what it is. hurry! this seems fun.

Was the guess right? Who's turn is it.

Nope! Guess again. Nice try, though. :D

Anybody? I know nothing about German anything especially the Scorpians.

[gormuu]

the only scorpions song i remember(haven't listened to them since i was 8 or so) that has any similar pattern is 'holiday' and i don't think it's that one...but i'll say it anyway.

Nope- not Holiday. Thanks for playing. ;)

Ding, ding, ding!!! We have the big winner, folks!! Nicely done! :thumbs:

roughly, directly from memory. british...played on a stratocaster.

[Aleysius]

hints hints...please

[gormuu]

this british band was responsible for the one riff in human history that has been played more than 'stairway to heaven'...and most of the time, it was played wrong. i'm talking about the the riff to end all riffs. you get beaten if you play it in guitar stores.

this here is a lesser known riff, but a very good one.

[gormuu]

from 1970.

[gormuu]

i'm gonna have to leave the computer soon...come on! you can do it.

[gormuu]

one of their live albums, recorded somewhere in asia, is very well known.

[danelectro]

Hush

[gormuu]

not hush...but close.

[danelectro]

space truckin

[gormuu]

space truckin


no...but you've got the right band. wrong album.

[danelectro]

Damn I guess I'll play the riff instead of guessing, geez I'm lazy.

[gormuu]

...sorry, got to go now. you'll have gotten it right by tomorrow, see you then. maybe it was a tricky one, but it's a neat little riff, it's always been a favourite of mine.

Arpeggios.

I know this is wrong but it reminds me of a section of a song by Grand Funk Railroad, I'm Your Captain ( I,m getting closer to my home). I think Styx covered it, of course, at my age, I cant remember sh--, so dont laugh!!!!

I know that Grand Funk is an American Band!!!!!

[SGshredder]

Deep Purple?

[gormuu]

well.... come on, i've given you enough clues!

[fretflyer]

child in time?

[gormuu]

no.

[fretflyer]

yea thats straight forward so i give up then

[Stray Dog]

Into The Fire!

[gormuu]

yyyyyyyyesssssss! go ahead doggy, it's your turn.

fret, sorry if i sounded harsh, i just didn't feel like writing a long post when i could just say 'no'.

maybe you're right. i've always played it like that to make it less blurry when you play it distorted, blackmore might play it like you say.
...still was the right notes though... :_devil:

[danelectro]

Yeah thats it. I wasn't being picky but the long ascending chromatic thing from E to A# looked and felt strange played on one string.

Blackmore did some weird chromatic things though.

so what, is this a solo or a riff or a intro or what? hints!

[danelectro]

I played through it and it has an eastern music sound. I think.

A hint is needed though, maybe this game should be a little more obvious.

[Stray Dog]

Its an intro to a song. The whole song has a spanish feel to it... but kinda experimental as well.

[danelectro]

What era is it from?

[Stray Dog]

Good question. Released 1989-90... not sure of exact year. On an influential album.

[Smallfrie_Omega]

You may need to give another clue, Dog!

[danelectro]

I've played Dog's tab several times and I am stumped. I need a clue! :)

Its definitely ethnic sounding.

[gavb]

Got me stumped.

[danelectro]

Ok new rule suggestion. Since we have asked for hints several times without a response from StrayDog maybe we should move on.

[gormuu]

ok, i'm game.

[gormuu]

i'll say sixstrings : 'sunshine of your love' - cream. my turn?

[Stray Dog]

Sorry, cant expect me to be reading this thread all day can you!

Ok, its from an influential album released in 1989. This album was a strong influence in the emerging grunge scene, and included a very imported political anthem.

that's 'one' - metallica and you can't post a new one.

[gormuu]

'bone china' - mother love bone? bit of a guess here.

[danelectro]

Post a new riff gormuu straydog's is indecipherable. Time to move on I say.

[gormuu]

here's an easy one :

...come on, folks - this one's easy. hope the TAB doesn't screw it up too much.

[gormuu]

ok, i'll have to leave you with this one over the night.

[danelectro]

Deuce Kiss

[gormuu]

yes! carry on.

[Stray Dog]

Ok mine was Eldorado by Neil Young. Wasn't really expecting anyone to get it.

[danelectro]

Yeah that wasn't anything I would have guessed. Gimme a second and I'll post one.

[danelectro]

No guesses?

[Sixstring]

Just when it starts to sound familiar, it goes the other way. I'm not hearing it.

[danelectro]

Its tricky to get right even if you know what it is. Its kind of bouncy. Are you ready for the hint?

Performance tip keep your hand in the Gm barre chord and hammer on using all downstrokes.

Oooh I found a mistake the last note in the riff is F not G.

[Rman23]

Ok I'm not having any problems playing the tab, but still coming up empty. How about another hint like Genre, Era or something.

[danelectro]

Ok cool. Rock, famous very revolutionary early rock from the early to mid 60's. It has been called proto-metal.

And this riff repeats over and over until the verse and is prominent in the rest of song as well.

Its a freaky riff, when you figure it out I bet you'll see that you've been playing it wrong it has a certain groove.

[danelectro]

Need more help? The bands name has 7 letters.

[Rman23]

Is it

Beatles - A Hard Days Night??

[danelectro]

Right band wrong song.

[Rman23]

I thought it had a Beatles feel too it. Time to pull out some CD's lol

[danelectro]

The Beatles are my world right now. All three guitarists in that band blow me away.

[Sixstring]

Revolution?

[danelectro]

earlier than revolution

[Rman23]

Beatles - Paperback Writer

[danelectro]

Winner! Tricky ehh.

post a new one.

[Rman23]

[danelectro]

8675309 Jenny

[Rman23]

I knew that was too easy. Good Job!

[danelectro]

Post another one if you want.

[Rman23]

alright just a sec

The Jenny thing almost threw me off though. For a second I was thinking it sounded like Night Ranger

Think bouncy and groovy. The riff repeats all through the song. The x's are sort of a muted/scratchy pickup note to the chord.

Sorry, I had to run to the bus stop to pick my girlfriend up.

No idea about the tab though, lol.

[gormuu]

Ok mine was Eldorado by Neil Young. Wasn't really expecting anyone to get it.

damn! that was my second guess...not that song particularly but something off that album - your hint gor me thinking about 'rockin' in the free world'. oh well.

stumped on that new one. hints?

[gormuu]

how about making this thread a sticky? just a thought, could be fun.

[danelectro]

hints please.

{Thread stuck due to popular demand... i.e. peer pressure.}

[danelectro]

sweet. I really do think this is a good thread, especially for a guitar players forum. It has people working together in a way that promotes guitar playing and everybody that participates has a good time. Very win-win.

[Aleysius]

absolutely, u end up learning new riffs too....

[danelectro]

riff hint please. It has a Zep Wanton Song feel but that aint it.

[Aleysius]

hmm....prog rock..that's a big hint

[Rman23]

Hey Aleysius what year was it released?

[Aleysius]

nineteen hundred and ninety seven

[danelectro]

Hmm I don't know any new prog rock.

[Rman23]

Ok I'm guessing it is a Rush song but I don't know which one. Do I have the right band??

[Aleysius]

nope, close tho....in a way

[danelectro]

More clues please

[Aleysius]

Ok here's the biggest clue guys...the band is Dream Theater.I hope that helps narrow it down. Also there don't seem to be very many people frequenting this thread, just like Rman23, danelectro and moi...heh heh oh well..

[danelectro]

Its Friday afternoon and thats always a slow time on any forum.

[Aleysius]

hmm you're right, pretty sure someone will know this, give it a few hours...once the nightbirds come on out...heh heh

[Sixstring]

I guessed it was DT, but I don't know their music well enough to give a title. :(

best of luck figuring the song out for the next peeps who come along
:smile:

[Sixstring]

There are quite a few DT fans here. We just have to hope to check out this thread. Someone will get it.
