The Almighty Riff: Suggestions for Stimulating Musical Creativity | Guitar World

The Almighty Riff: Suggestions for Stimulating Musical Creativity | Guitar World:

Excerpt:

"Every great rock song has a great riff, be it a single-note melody or a chordal-based sequence, and that's probably what makes it a great song. Like a great frontman, a really good rock riff should have a hypnotic, star quality. A great riff can take you over; you might find yourself playing it repeatedly for ten minutes. There's something about it that makes you want to indulge in it.

"Siva," from our first album, Gish, had one of those riffs that let me know immediately that I had a song, even though I had yet to work out all the parts. That riff sounded like my band-it had instant identity-and it got my blood going right away."

Matt Smith Gives A Killer Slide Guitar Lesson - Part 1

Matt Smith Gives A Killer Slide Guitar Lesson - Part 1; Part 2 obviously worth a look as well. Check it out. Smith is knowledgeable and throws in a touch of humour as well.

Interesting reader comment:

"Great video.... but just a small correction. Slide guitars and the style of playing has existed since at least the fourteenth century, and references to slide instruments have been made as early as the ancient Egyptians. So although it's currently in modernity terms thought of as an 'american' style... it is in fact NOT."

The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love - How to Play on Electri...

Cover of Permission to Land

From Songfacts:

This was released as a singe twice, the first time in August 2002 with "Love On The Rocks With No Ice" and "Love Is Only A Feeling." In September 2003, it was released as the third single off The Darkness' debut album Permission To Land with "Makin' Out" and "Physical Sex." It charted the second time.

The New York Times wrote that this song "Sticks to the listener like hair gel."

The British magazine Classic Rock named this as their Greatest Rock song of the Noughties. The band's former frontman Justin Hawkins commented: "All The Darkness ever tried to do was bring a little joy into the glorious realm of rock, but 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' crossed over big time and changed our lives forever. To have been awarded 'Song Of The Decade' is overwhelming and I'm very grateful to Classic Rock for everything."

The band's former guitarist, Dan "Stone Gods" Hawkins, told Classic Rock the story of the song: "'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' was such an important song for The Darkness, but when we wrote it I really wasn't sure about it. The chorus is so stupidly catchy, I thought people were just gonna take it as a complete joke! Right from the start, this song stuck out like a sore thumb. It's at the Def Leppard/Queen end of what we did, whereas 90% of our stuff was inspired by 1970s AC/DC. And Aerosmith. And Thin Lizzy. Oh, I could go on!

Lyrics:

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Touching you, touching me, 
Touching you God you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love 
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now 
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down 
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everything is A OK!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you cause you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love 
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now 
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down 
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
Guitar!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

Guitar Strength: Go Funk Yourself with Nuno Bettencourt’s “Porno” Tapping | Guitar World:

"Hailed by Guitar World as a “fretboard wizard” and voted “Best New Talent” by Guitar World readers in 1991, Nuno Bettencourt has maintained his relevance since first coming onto the national scene in the late '80s, thanks to his inventive playing, killer tone and skillful songwriting.

Best known for his work as the guitarist for Extreme, Nuno also has brought his wizardry to collaborations with a diverse array of artists such as Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Ferrell and R&B superstar Rihanna, with whom he is currently touring.

Extreme is reformed and touring behind in celebration of their 1990 album Pornograffitti"
