Easy Guitar Riffs.

The title says it all,easy guitar riffs are are just that.

Easy to listen too and must feel great to those musicians who find the the licks and rythes to go with the killer back beat. Thier are many examples and everyone will have thier particular favorite.

I'm open to suggestions for easy guitar riffs for inclusion in this Hub. Pop them in the comments section below. Thanks Malc.

Aqualung - Jethro Tull (1971)

Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin (1969) ... oow yes like that.

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin (1969)

Iron Man - Black Sabbath (1970)... reminds me of camping out listening to a crappy cassette player in the dark,in the rain and the wind not helping by trying to reposition our tent in the river near by.

Paranoid - Black Sabbath (1970) .. great stuff

Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith (1975)

All Right Now - Free (1970)..sing along everyone.

Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix (1967)

Day Tripper - Beatles (1965)
