Top 10 Songs with Most Emotional Guitar Riffs

We always check for emotional guitar solos. But there are many emotional guitar riffs which should be noticed more often.

Anyway, these guitar riffs are very emotional. I've ordered them both form their popularity and emotional tone. Riffs like Kashmir, Smoke On the Water or Voodoo Child are great but don't seem like emotional to me. That's why this list exists.

Both acoustic and electric guitar riff.
