    Sick Your favorite guitar/bass riff/solo.

    I think I used the word "riff" properly... if not (or if my example isn't a riff), let me know.

    For a guitar solo, I gotta go with the old standby "Stairway to Heaven."

    My favorite riff is the ascending/descending bass riff in Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie."

    Oh, MAN!
    Stairway to Heaven is one of 3 Classic Rock songs I'm so tired of, being joined by Freebird and Hotel Damned California.
    But, I digress.

    To answer your question, "Europa", by Santana.
    The most beautiful Classic Rock guitar work done.

    I love that solo in the version of "Sympathy for the Devil" in Get Yer Ya Ya's Out.

    'Can't Explain' The Who

    and esp. 'You really got me' The Kinks, the first time I heard that was just 'WOW'......!

    I still love hearing Eddie Van Halen's solo on the song before you really got me. I think it's called Explosion. I never tire of that one

    It's not my absolute favorite(I can't really decide that), but I have Call Me The Breeze's intro stuck in my head so I'm gonna go with that.

    I like the John Entwhistle's bass solo in the Who's "The Real Me".

    I like Jeff Beck's guitar work in a lot of things, but "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" in particular.

    "Green Onions" by Booker T and the MGs is one of the coolest tunes ever recorded, though more minimalist than anything listed here.

    having though about it, I will add a general remark to probably every second song by Black Sabbath throughout the ages.

    And a specific mentioning to Santana's Black Magic Woman and Europa.

    I always liked the prelude before "Don't Look Back"

    For a bass riff the only one off the top of my head would be "Round About"

    Metallica's version of "Astronomy", Stairway to Heaven, and Bruce Dickenson's "Tears of the Dragon".

    Its the entire song I know, but Joe Satriani's "Surfing with the Alien".
