Easy Guitar Riffs

[swizzlenuts]

I am currently trying to teach myself the guitar... and i am looking for some songs that have easy riffs so i can gradually play them... i am currently working on smoke on the water tabs.... any other songs that you guys know?

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Any AC/DC.

 

[RosesofShadow]

try some black sabbath riffs...

 

[Jaar-Gilon]

Pantera - Walk
Amon Amarth - Death in Fire
oh, and Psycroptic - Skin Coffin

 

[Spirit In Black]

Slayer - Black Magic.....it was the first metal song I learned

 

[genocide roach]

coma white- marylin manson (my first song. its in standard tuning, and a trained monkey can play it)
hearts on fire- hammerfall
~gR~

 

[CF87]

I'd say Iced Earth,Metallica,Slayer,etc...

 

[{D|aBo|uS}]

Pantera - Walk
Amon Amarth - Death in Fire
oh, and Psycroptic - Skin Coffin

Hahahaha! Psycroptic.......!!! If you wanna have fun, try to play any Psycrotpic song....hahahaha! They are f**cking crazy!!

 

[None_So_Vile]

Any Black Sabbath or AC/DC

 

[Utuk Xul]

Anything by Spawn of Possession

 

[The Grimace]

Anything by Spawn of Possession

Oh yeah, definately. That first 30 seconds of 'Hidden In Flesh' is, like, the simplest thing I've ever heard. I learned it in 2 minutes.


Spawn Of Possession = Bastards!

 

[hunglikehorse]

Any RATM shite is surprisingly easy... I don't know about ACDC for a beginner, they have some tricky shite

 

[Disturbed4ntics]

Virtually any straight Punk song.

 

[Profanity]

Oasis - Wonderwall is the easiest guitar riff of all time.

 

[RosesofShadow]

Try Enter Sandman, hehehe...

 

[Pessimism]

bloodbath - buried by the dead

 

[5thSeason]

the first riffs I learned how to play were

Metallica - One (the intro and main riff)
Metallica - Sanitarium
Pantera - Walk
White Zombie - Thunderkiss 65

sweet home alabama is also a pretty simple riff to pick up btw...

edit---

some other easy lil riffs to try.

Black Label Society - Rust
Hammerfall - The Unforgiving Blade

if you really wanna get your hands dirty... try playing either:

the solo from In Flames - December Flower, "Just A Little" by Ark, or ANYTHING by Joe Stump, lol... good luck on those tho.

 

[Jaar-Gilon]

the acoustic bit with the rain and a little bit of Wah after the solo in Pantera - Floods isnt too hard, and its good for stretching

 

[lord667]

try some black sabbath riffs...

Definitely. If there's one riff that ANYONE should be able to play, it's "The Three Most Evil Notes In The History Of Music".

 

[Profanity]

Metallica are a great band for getting into guitar riffs.
