Rock along the watchtower, a Jimi Hendrix riff voted the best

posted by John Lampard on Monday, 30 November, 2009 to the music subset

Readers of guitar and drum magazine Musicradar.com have voted Jimi Hendrix’s riff in “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” the best guitar riff of all time.

A by-product of the sprawling, bluesier Voodoo Chile from the same album, from its wah-wah intro to the rhythm parts and the astonishing solo, Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is still regarded by many as the high watermark of electric guitar expression.
