Here's a great riff from the Dio catalogue, 1987's "Dream Evil."
The first Dio album with new guitarist Craig Goldy, this record was full of excellent songs and guitar playing. As I mention in the video Craig's style is very much influenced by Ritchie Blackmore, more so than Vivian Campbell was, and it shows in this riff which has some similarities to "Man On The Silver Mountain" by Blackmore's Rainbow.
This is fun to play once you get it, so have a good time with it!
Standard tuning on this one...
Make sure and grab the TAB and Guitar Pro, plus backing track for this riff over at my Patreon page.
Rock On!

Great riff and cool explained by you Nick

[@NickLaytonGuitar]

Thanks!

[@gwrtxiii7566]

oh, thank you very much - cool and instructive as always! I always liked this album, although it is rather dark even for Dio. But for me, 1983 and 1987 are perhaps the two best of his solo career.
