[Shrmdougluvr]

They were simpler times.

You’ve been real nostalgic lately. I get it.

Also, who doesn't get nostalgic about little old Canadian women offering sex tips?

American Girl - Tom Petty
Acquiesce - Oasis
There's No Other Way - Blur
I Want to be Adored - Stone Roses
Sugar Kisses - Echo and the Bunnymen

Cool call out. I guess I always thought of it as a bass line, but I think you're right.

Also, that Echo song is called "Lips Like Sugar." But another good call out.

Beginning of Sweet Child O' Mine is even better in concert when it comes at the close of Slash's big guitar solo.

Always loved the guitar endings to both Free Bird and Comfortably Numb.

Look, maybe it was a time when a lot of us learned a lot of things from unusual sources that turned out to be really helpful.

Well, there’s a rumor…

I’ve played for 62 years and for me it doesn’t get any better than Jimi’s solos in All Along the Watchtower.

Not a riff, but each solo build until the conclusion. I also play an acoustic version of it that I learned from Laurence Juber.

The riff from Jimi’s Voodoo Child (Slight Return) ranks up there too, as does Stevie Ray Vaughan’s interpretation of the song.
