You know when a riff has entered the mainstream musical consciousness when it's not only guitarists who yearn to learn it, but also players of other (often more obscure) instruments, too.

Here, we present the ten greatest guitar riffs of all time (as voted for by users of MusicRadar) as you've never heard them before. Get ready for kazoos, manualism, ukuleles, an omnichord, an electone, a harmonica… and a tuna can guitar.

10. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

Now, this is a bit of a weird one. A YouTuber known as The Owl decided that he'd cover The Stones' seminal song… but in the style of William Shatner (who himself has recorded some oddball spoken-word covers in the past). How this idea was formed isn't important: the relevant point is that we get to hear the main riff played on a muted trumpet.

9. Smells Like Teen Spirit

If Kurt Cobain had been a fan of George Formby, Nirvana's signature song would have ended up sounding something like this. Check out The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain's website for more micro-guitar music.
