So I feel like I'm a bit stuck in a rut musically so I'm going to do 10 days of riffs.
Recommend me some riffs to learn. I'm I guess an intermediate rock player if that makes any difference, but happy to consider suggestions outside my comfort genres as long as they're actual riffs (not interesting in strumming, solo/lead work, arpeggios etc). If the riff isn't the iconic part of the song that you recommend then please include a youtube video with time where I can hear the riff.
I'll post back each day which riff Ive learned.

Separates the mustard from the custard as someone used to say.
Also:
Skin - Revolution/Take me down to the river
Black Stone Cherry - Soul Creek
Extreme - Pornograffitti/Comfortably Dumb
Move Over - Jamis Joplin (or the Slade cover)
There is a secondary slightly twiddlier riff as well, there aren't really any solos or strummy bits in the song.
There's a Fear Factory version which, I think, is in something like drop D.

I give them 500% for effort. Nice to see the ladies play heavy metal.
