The 'Guess the Riff' thread - Non-Guitarists Welcome!

[Nitefly]

Hello there!

I though that it would be good fun to get a 'guess the riff' thread rolling, where members of the forum record a few riffs to for others to guess. This isn't a pretentious 'ooo look at me play' thread so if you end up recording something particuarly widdly, expect an appropriate response.

To get us started, I played 5 (moderately) well known rock riffs in a medley for everyone to guess. There is an obvious mistake in the last one, but its still guessable and I can't be bothered to play it all again!

So here we go. Enjoy guessing and I expect everyone with recording equipment to join in! Round two will be tougher, naturally

Aaaah 3 and 5 are so familiar but I just can't put a finger on them. It's driving me nuts.

 

[Andelusion]

[Maccy]

Ahhh please use fileshack in future - I hate rapidshare!!!

Likewise I could only get one, and think it was Muse!
Will record some tomorrow evening.

Will do!

You can guess obviously, but it would probably be best if you used the colour code which hides the text, which is revealed by highlighting.. is what to use

I only knew one rofl

I wonder which, Mr. Jem!

muse is there and i think the song is plug in baby. (well i dont think it is that but i am guessing)

i know the song and its getting on my nerves because i cant think of what it is!!!

Please put future guesses in the hidden colour as it could give away the answer to those that don't want to know. Here it is:

Riff number 3 is correct! Still 4 more to go.

 

[I_Am_Vengeance]

Do i hear bullet in the head?

 

[Nitefly]

Do i hear bullet in the head?

No. At least not intentionally

 

[I_Am_Vengeance]

Sounds awfully alike. Or, at the very least, reminds me of ratm.

 

[I_Am_Vengeance]

4th to last sounds like a bad soad?

 

[Nitefly]

snip

Getting warm... I personally thought that riff was pretty spot on *huff*

 

[Nitefly]

*wrong thread*!

 

[I_Am_Vengeance]

If memory serves, it sounds like sweet pea, but thats an ancient song? Havent listened to soad for yonks. Sorry about the criticism.

 

[Zefan]

Number one is EASY!

Steve Vai - Bad Horsie

The only other one I know is

Muse - Microcuts

 

[Clinkz]

Whats your recording setup nitefly? I like the bass end though the rest of it has the some what artificial feel of a pod? Just curious.

 

[Nitefly]

..... Sorry about the criticism.

Nope

Number one is EASY!

...............

.....................

Two correct for Zefan, although I will point out he incorrectly told me I had played a riff wrong, then called me a C word when he realised I was right....

Riffs 2, 4 and 5 to go.

Its just through a toneport, so you are quite right yes! I selected the tone as I thought it sounded good for the first riff... didn't really think about the others...
