Texas Blues Riff Based Solo.
A riff is a repeated chord progression, pattern, or melody, often played by rhythmic instruments. The riff is the base of the musical composition. They are most common in rock music, funk, and jazz. But a repeated riff can also be used as the basis for a solo. It’s a great way to “hook” the listener in, because it’s easily understood.

Some of the most famous riffs in rock music can be found in the following songs:
• Chuck Berry - "Johnny B. Goode"
• Deep Purple - "Smoke On The Water"
• AC/DC - "Highway To Hell"
• Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
• Michael Jackson - "Beat It"
• Black Sabbath - "Iron Man"
• Jimi Hendrix - "Purple Haze"
• The Rolling Stones - "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"
• Led Zeppelin – Heartbreaker
