I should know what this riff is but I just cannot place it. Any opinions and/or a link to the original would be appreciated.

Re: Identify this riff, pleeeeeeeease!

it's got the same chunky slimy sound and the same notes as Down...just not in the same order.

Just somebody that I used to know.

the same notes as Down...just not in the same order.

It has the same notes as a million songs, not necessarily in the right order.



Which is, kinda, the point.

There is no amp tone. It is all ones and zeros.

No troll intended. That riff fell out of an unlikely guitar that I was working on at the weekend. I had the good sense to record it, before it escaped. The sound and feel are entirely generic. The riff itself sounds to me as if somebody, somewhere, MUST have done it before. I was hoping that someone on this forum might spot whatever that riff is right away and rid me of any delusions of originality.

Might hook into someone else's memory then. It's guaranteed recorded somewhere else though. That riff is really easy and really rockin.
