And this is why I seriously love Dio. What an unforgettable guitar classic. Just listen to the unforgettable opening.

Yes....

While this might not exactly be a RIFF song, I can't help but dig Carmine Appice's killer drums along with Pat.

Bocc, you have me kickin it to some Megadeth with all that nice metal music you mentioned.

How the heck does Mustane do that rip pickin jam at 4:39?
There isn't enough coffee to make my hand do that.

I saw Dio in 1986 at the L.A. Convention Center on this tour. The show rocked!!

Another of my favorite riffs is in Metallica's Fade to Black. It can be heard @ 4:08-4:10, then again at 4:15 and 4:22.

I find it hard to tell people how it goes, but this clip makes it easy. It is that triplet sounding riff.

Here it is in a live version. I think you can see it at 4:42-4:44 then 4:48-4:50 etc

capo on the third fret. The solo is complex it will take time to nail it. With my Parker guitar and my new amp build it sounds exact no effects just channel switching and preamp boost.
