Your All Time Top 20 Favorite Guitar Intros and Sections

I found out what a lot of people on the board like as solos now I want to find out your favorite guitar intros and sections to songs, list as many as you want and come back and list more if you can't think of them all on your first post, please come back as many times as you like.

These are some of mine, not in any particular order and you guys will probably think most of the stuff I like blows but the stuff just does something to me:

1. The intro to \"Stay With Me\" Rod Stewart and The Faces.
2. The intro to \"Whole Lotta Love\"
3. The breakdown section on \"Freewill\" by Rush - killerness!
4. The solo for \"Freebird\" never have I turned that section down on the radio.
5. Right before the drum solo - there's this cool simple bass run on \"Moby Dick\". Don't know why but I love it.
6. The sloppy intro to Cowgirl in the Sand\" by Neil Young. Again I don't know why but I love it.
7. The solo to \"Heartbreaker\" by the The Rolling stones.
8. The intro to \"Give Me Shelter\" Stones again.
9. Breakdown section on \"My Woman From Tokio\" Deep Purple
10. Breakdown section on \"Highway Star\" and the guitar solo, the guitar solo or should I say solos becuase Richie has about 3 gutiars goin on there sounds almost like violins - killerness!
11. The breakdown section of \"Midnight Rambler\" live off the \"Get Yer Ya Ya's Out\" album.

That's just a few - I have so many more that I may like more than what I listed but the stuff above is what comes to mind right now, I'll be back for sure to post more.

I found the older I got the more well rounded my musical interest started getting. I heard a record that was included in a guitar magazine (one of those plastic floppy records about the size of a 45) they had a guy playing a piece by \"Peganini\" and it sounds like Peganini lived for 800 years to get that good, unreal. I believe it was a Guitar Player magazine back in 1986. If anyone has that by chance - please record it for me and I will work something out with you to make it worth your while - and I know what some of you sick bastards are thinking - shame on you! It takes a sick bastard to know one.

Rockon!

  • The intro to \"Monkey Man\" and the main guitar riff of the song, Rolling Stones.

    The drums and intro guitar riffs to \"Honkey Tonk Woman\". You may be thinking \"this guy's into a lot of stones\" the reason is Keith Richards wrote so many hits, almost a Paul McCartney in my opinion.

    The intro to \"Woodstock\" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

    I'll be throwing newer stuff in but this is the phaze I'm in right now.
  • they had a guy playing a piece by \"Peganini\"

    Steve Vai does a 1:11 version of Paganini's 5th Caprice and also does
    3:24 version of Beethoven's 5th. They are recorded as well as on Guitar Pro tabs. You can get everything off Limewire.

    Vai does a nice Vivaldi piece as well.

    Satriani, and Malmsteen also have versions of these songs. Those were \"avant garde\" choices during the \"Shred Wars.\"
  • 1. Opening riff to Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain.
    2. Yngwie Malmsteen's Icarus Dream Suite Acoustic riff. (A distant second)
  • How about the Stones, Can't You hear Me Knockin. The opening riff in open G rocks. Then the other guitar chunks along on bar chords in a standard tuning. It fits perfecly together. THe words aren't bad either. Then it all wraps up on a funky jam at the end. Favorite Stones song.
  • Here's a few intros that I like.

    Van Halen - Unchained, 1984
    Winger - Seventeen
    Ratt - Lay it Down
    Slayer - Expendable Youth, Deak skin Mask, Skeletons of Society
    Tesla - Love Song
    Yngwie Malmsteen - Deja-Vu
    White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65
    Triumph - World of Fantasy
    System of a Down - Toxicity
    Judas Priest - Electric Eye
  • I forgot about those - AWESOME STUFF!!!!! KEEP EM COMMIN!!!
