Rising blues-rock star Joe Bonamassa was extremely affable when we ran into him at the Classic Rock Awards. This was his response when we enquired about his favourite riffs:
“My favourite guitar riff of all time to me has to be Smoke On The Water. Why? It’s a very obvious choice, because no matter what skill level you are as a guitar player, it’s still cool to play. A beginner, an intermediate or an expert can play that riff and get applause from an audience. That’s what makes it the best guitar riff of all time.”
