So I was thinking about this as I listened to a couple qualifying songs for me tonight. What is the best opening rif/sequence for a song for you? For me it's probably Layla. He starts in on that guitar and it just sends a shiver down the spine and you know you're in for a ride. Another great one but not a guitar for me is Stevie Wonder Superstition!

Start off with that drums and then it just kicks in the head starts boppin you're looking for that drink to start sippin` and enjoy the ride.
Back to guitar it's hard to pass up a couple greats that are no longer with us.

There's also what is in a lot of respects the song that started a lot of it off with this guitar style.

Like some others on here it's a short opener but it might slightly edge out Layla for me would be one of the greatest guitarists of all time

And I might prefer George Harrison playing it he's so underrated as a guitarist.
Lets end with a Combo that just is too much great guitar play on one stage together.
