CRF's "Greatest Guitar Riffs" - Strip list


Remember, you are to consider the "iconic guitar riff" from the song, not the artist and not necessarily the song as a whole.

Love Rainbow and I like this song, but I just don't think the riff(s) come close to holding up to some of the epic riffs on the list.

Jumping Jack Flash - Johnny Winter

While Johnny is 10x the guitarist that anyone in the Stones is, his rendition of this classic Stones track falls flat for me compared to the original.
