As a matter of fact, that's what it's called:


http://www.classicrockriffs.com (http://www.classicrockriffs.com/Index2.asp)

I came across this on YouTube, and the couple of videos I watched were pretty simple--just played through at full speed, then slowed down the second time. Good video & audio quality. No narration, but some have tabs overlayed on the video. The list of videos is not particularly long, but the selections seem to be well chosen, and it looks like the the site owner is in the process of building up his "library".

Anyway, if there's some classic riff you want to learn how to play, my first stop would still be Vanderbilly.com (http://vanderbilly.com/), but here's another site to check out, too.

2 Way Cool sites, DVM! Thanks for sharing them! I especially like the Classic Rock one! In fact, I've already joined their forum. Here's a cold, frosty one lifted in your honor! :beer: (No, that's Strum who has the beer girls! ;) )

Certainly a long-time favorite classic riff of mine! AAMOF, I was just playing around with that one with my LP Std, Valve Jr. and Marshall Guv'nor Plus pedal a while back, as described HERE (http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=8984). I viewed that particular video, and the way he shows is exactly the way I had learned to play it.
