Hello all, and welcome to another edition in the weekly riff feature and this one’s a real classic. From a band inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2006, this riff is one that every guitarist should know and want to play.

Since then it has been acclaimed as one as the greatest guitar songs of all time. So here’s how to play it:

Peace and Love!
