Hi,

Im a newbie ! Have been playin acoustic for a year now and just got an electric and am looking for some killer riffs for beginners to get me started on the electric (been playing smoke on the water)

Can anybody advise on anything relatively quick and easy to learn but still sounds the biz .............. hope its not a tall order !

Any chords/tabs would be appreciated !

Smoke on the Water is a great one for sure, we ALL play it sooner or later. I'd also suggest:

Satisfaction
Ina Gadda Da Vida
Iron Man
Paranoid
Sunshine of your Love
Mother (Danzig)

How about the 1-IV-V blues pattern? Classic and fits SO MANY songs!

I think it's like this... Here's a me playing a movable F 1 4 5 in A (http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6279356). It's an example from a beginner. I hope I got it right?

Anyway, in A, the 1 4 and 5 notes == A D E played in an improvised progression and strum pattern in my example.
