What riff would grab your attention if you heard someone playing it?

[@urbanexoticuk]

Iron maiden run for the hills or someone play california love by 2 pac as never heard it played on guitar

[@StockportJambo]

Anything by early Genesis / Steve Hackett.

Legit conversation I had with the 3 guitar guys in my hometown's largest guitar store. They unanimously said that the most impressive guitarist that they had ever seen in the store was this guy who just walked in one day and played the sweetest simplest little licks, but with so much soul that their jaws dropped. Turns out he was Jackson Brown's lead guitarist and they were doing a show that night. Let that sink in, the most jaded guitar shop guys were most impressed by soulful simplicity.

[@TheBoboMaker]

@I M they didn't give his name or when it happened. Should have asked, but was more focused on the new guitar I had bought.

[@harrycoochie6146]

Sounds like some boomer shit to say idk

Depends, you can have soul and you can have overusing the pentatonic scale “soul”

[@bryanh3057]

[@harrycoochie6146]

@@bryanh3057 riiiight. Ya no, I was part of this guitar group. And they'd have a night where everyone would post what they been working on, and 80% of what was posted was just noodling to youtube backing tracks, which would be fine if they all didn't have that generic blues "play with feel" sound to it. It's good to mix it up, cause that simple pentatonic blues just gets sooooo old. Every video would start with the same bend 😂 then 4 notes on the pentatonic

[@slashwb1]

What a cool guitar store. It plays the entire backing track to any song.

[@joermnyc]

Was in my tiny local shop, two guys walked in, grabbed two ESPs and proceeded to play the entire “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” matching James and Kirks’ tone PERFECTLY. They then bough the amps they were testing out and left. Another guitar shop story, Mike the son of the owner and the resident instrument tech (he could fix anything, even accordions because that was the shop’s first instruments back in the day) was demoing a wireless system for someone, who couldn’t believe how far the range was. Mike grabbed a red strat, plugged in the wireless transceiver, started playing and walked out the door and down the street. He made it a whole block and a half, no problem(and he made a sale)!

[@reNINTENDO]

@@sirspongadoodle Welcome to KZbin. I think the main reason Tyler gets so much flack for this is unlike sponsorships on most other KZbinrs it's pretty easy for him to turn it into a entire video or at least use whatever gear he's sponsoring throughout. He could tone it down when he does it, but I don't blame him for it. People also think he's sponsored by a lot more than he is just because he happens to like certain brands, gear, etc.

My jaw dropped when you mentioned Limo Wreck. I learned that song top to bottom including the solo. I'm a huge Soundgarden fan, it made my night. Soundgarden has so many great songs, if you're reading this and only have listened to thier handful of popular songs you're missing out.

[@b_man_420]

Their baselines are great too. Fell on Black Days is particularly fun to play

[@Vorizi918]

Same!!! Learned all of ‘Superunkown’ and ‘Down on the upside’back in sophomore year in high school. Saw them back in 2017 in Jacksonville FL I think weeks before Chris passed. Guys around me were shocked I was singing along to ‘Kyle Petty son of Richard’ lmao. I’m hard pressed to find anyone who knows of Soundgarden lately. Their b-sides are hit or miss. RIP Chris Cornell

[@MrTomTraubert]

Sometimes the riffs you play at guitar shops don't even need to be impressive to just start up wholesome conversations about music. I took my guitar in to the tech to get it set up for 12-56's so I could play easier in b Standard. When the tech gave me my guitar I plugged into an orange and played Electric Wizard for about 5 minutes before the dude working there came over and struck up a convo about Wizard. He was a cool guy, loved doom. We spoke for a while and I ended up buying a JHS fuzz pedal while I was there on his recommendation. We're all in there because we love music, I forget that sometimes under all the gear and nerves of playing in front of the staff.

[@Daniel-kx4sy]

Soundgarden is one of my favorite bands and Limo Wreck is one of my favorite songs by then and I am blown away that it was in a video by a major KZbinr..... Last song I ever expected to hear. Amazing

[@VarcArtsandMusic]

“Limo Wreck” is one of my absolute favorite Soundgarden cuts…so good that I included it in an assignment for a high school literature/poetry class regarding songs with my favorite lyrics.

[@oneawarer]

I've heard you've been having issues in the form of hostilities while trying to play "Stairways to Heaven" in guitar stores. Here are some suggestions on how to play the riff in guitar stores without the store owner getting too suspicious. 1. Assuming you are in a key of A minor. With the C key raised to C# start by playing "Hotel California" and when the coast is clear, swap out the C# key with the C key and then play the forbidden riff while at all times observing the guitar store owner incase you have to quickly switch C back to C#. 2. Just play the song backwards, by the time the store owner realizes what is happening, you would have already finished or started. 3. Playing "Stairways to Heaven" in a store where you already tried suggestion 1 should also be possible. Assuming you are in a key of A minor with the C key tuned to C#. As not to raise any suspicions with the guitar owner, you should be able to do the same trick mentioned in suggestion 1 but this time start with "Humpty Dumpty" and when the coast is clear you should easily be able to switch to the forbidden riff by lowering the C# key by a semi tone. I'm sure you can come up with better tactics. Good luck with playing the forbidden riff.

Two true stories about playing odd bass riffs: 1. A long time ago in a Guitar Center I played the intro to A Better Place, A Better Time and an employee stopped and said "wait...is that streetlight manifesto?" Yup it sure was. 2. A little over a year ago in a local music store, while testing out a used bass I eventually purchased that day (the one in my pfp!), I was playing the intro to The Grudge and an employee overheard me and was trying to figure out where he heard that before. I played a couple other obscure bass lines from Tool (I think Disposition was another) and they finally recognized the band. Obscure songs are the best because the people that know genuinely appreciate the effort.
