The standard rock song seems to have one good riff in it. Lately I've been writing some songs that feature multiple riffs (I hope they're good but I guess it's all subjective) and then constructing the song such that it has as many as 9 or 10 parts to it (and each part having its own riff) rather than the standard song format of V/C/V/C etc.....that has the main riff, then chords, back to the main riff and so on.

Anyway, here's a fragment of what I'm talking about: it's just the intro (a three part intro) and ends where it's going into the next section which fades into a clean guitar and two more melodic riffs.......anyway, give it a spin and see if it makes any sense to you :rolleyes:
