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

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.
