6 CommentsI’ll probably post the results to today’s little competition sometime on January 21st. That gives you a little extra time to try and think up the answers to any songs you missed.
I’m very impressed by the readers abilities to come up with the answers.
Until next time, keep on rockin.

Authored by: mike d.There are very people who will get this.
It will either be impossible, or pretty easy. This depends entirely on whether or not you
a) stalk me
b) are one of three very specific people
I will rate this as a 5.13 for the general public.
But if you are one of those very specific 3 people, it’s only a 5.10
Wow this is poor quality.
It’s also extremely easy. 5.3. You’ll get three points if you are the first to successfully identify this rock riff.
Authored by: mike d.Yeah, it’s played poorly. But it’s also one of the most recognized guitar riffs ever.
5.4. you’ll get four points if you’re the first to identify this rock riff.
Authored by: mike d.This is one of those ones where you may quickly identify the artist… but not necessarily know the song.

Name that tune. from mikedidonato on Vimeo.
A really popular song… but very little to work with.
I would rate the difficulty of this rock riff as 5.10. You will get 10 points if you successfully identify this rock riff.

I would rate this as a 5.9 difficulty. You will get nine points if you are the first person to successfully identify the rock riff.
update: that fade away at the end isn’t in the actual song.
Authored by: mike d.I swear there are some tough ones in here. This one isn’t too tough provided you’re familiar with this genre.
Difficulty: 5.6+
You will get six points if you are the first person to successfully identify the rock riff.
This is another long clip. It also has a couple parts.

The band may be easy for some… but the song title may elude.

Authored by: mike d.This would be far easier to identify if it was played well. Also, the artist is somewhat easy… but it might be hard to figure out the exact song it’s taken from.

Authored by: mike d.We’re going to start this show with a tough one.
This is a solo. Solos can be brutally tough to identify.

Authored by: mike d.Today is going to be super interactive.
I have recorded a bunch of different song pieces with my new PRS513 guitar. Your task is to identify the tunes. Some are alarmingly easy, others are really difficult. Not only because the songs are hard… but also because I play them poorly.
People who have lived in the same residence as me within the last year are not allowed to post answers because they probably already know all the songs that I can play.
At the time of posting this feature post, I only had 21 different rock riffs. That means there might be some pictures of my sweet guitar posted during the day too. We’ll see!
In any case, Good luck!
