Most Memorable Guitar Licks of Rock Songs
A guitar lick is a short phrase of few notes. It can be seen in both riffs and solos. If some licks or one lick is played to create main theme of the song then it is called a riff.If a series of licks being played then it becomes a solo.
So, in short, a lick is a small part of whole guitar line.
I have included some of those memorable guitar licks, usually because of these guitar licks the solos, riffs or the whole song became even better.
Counting lick is quite hard, but I will describe each of them to avoid mistakes. And I have added one kind of lick from every song.
The whole tapping licks, starts from 0:58 till end.
Slash's licks that have a lot of bending, from the outro. Very memorable and emotional licks. These licks made the song greater.
Usually because of this lick the solo is considered as one of the greatest solos of all time. If I am not wrong then it's the 7th lick, which is the most repeated lick of the solo, 10 times or something like that.
Or, the slow licks before the ending licks, fast licks.
Its not a solo, actually it consists of some repeated licks, which a lot of people think as the solo.
You could hear a strong vibrato lick from the very beginning. Its one of the greatest vibratos I have ever heard.
Especially the lick after Ozzy sings "As the war machine keeps turning"
A lot of licks from this solo is good but first one was very good and memorable.
The fast part, considered as early shredding licks.
Licks played with his red buttons.
