I think we need to define the word "riff" ... I never thought of Jimi Hendrix as a riff-oriented guitarist.

Michael Romeo. I'd have to list most Symphony X songs ... I guess that Symphony X - V: The New Mythology suite contains the best ones. Evolution, Fallen, ... riff heaven. And in The Odyssey (the epic) he plays two or three amazingly long riffs.

John Petrucci: Pull Me Under, Learning to Live, Take the Time, Erotomania, 6:00, ... the list goes on and on and on.

James Hetfield - No comment necessary.

Big smile

    I suggest Tony Iommi with riffs like Iron Man, Sabbath bloody sabbath, Paranoid, Sabbra cadabra, Lord of THis world, Into the void,...

        You should suggest some guitarists (or other musicians)who you think are top-riff creators. From names, which would appear more times, we can create a voting competition for a single champion. You should also add some riffs you like from that person.
