Okay. Here's a simple one. Just to get the game moving. Hopefully someone will recognize this.

My first instinct told me something by 'The Who'. Sounds a bit like a clean version of a Pete Townsend riff to me. Very nicely played, I like the sound a lot. I'll wait for some clues later on....

Weeellll - if that's a hint, it's a pretty big one - Psycho Killer by Talking Heads.

bloos66, you guessed the last riff correctly, so now it's your turn to post the new riff for everyone to guess. :wink:

Dan,

ah, so this is how it works - guess the riff, post your own. No worries, even though I classify myself as a beginner (on my way to advanced beginner who still can't play barre chords), I search far and wide for an appropriate riff. I took me a while to get it together, and I hope that my efforts are acceptable and add something to this game.

Here is the URL: http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=7514608&q=hi

I hope it all works, and I look forward to some feedback and your guesses.

Cheers, b.

Sounds very similar to something by Roy Orbison I once heard. :wink:

Wow, you added a drum track too! That's a 1st for guess that riff! 8)

I'm going to guess "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison?

Drum track - thanks for the compliment. I did this in Garageband, so adding a drum loop is easy and helps me stick to the beat.

Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman is a good guess. I hadn't thought of it, it's got its similarities but it's not the right one.

Hint: Austin, Texas.

Rodders got me thinking of Roy Orbison. :oops:

Aha! Now I think I've got it: "Crossfire" by Stevie Ray Vaughan?

Oooh! Tough one. Almost generic but there's a definite signature there. I can think of two songs it might be. I'm itchin' to guess.
