Back before PlayStation2’s were taken over by the super-popular Guitar Hero videogames, people would just play air guitar to their favorite songs and daydream about being rock stars.

So, in honor of all things with six strings, we present:

10 Best Guitar Riffs 

10. Van Halen - Hot for Teacher

9. Les Paul & Mary Ford - How High the Moon

There’s a good reason Les Paul is the namesake of one the most popular guitars ever made.

8. Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop

7. Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water

35 years after first being released, this is still the first songs most guitarists learn.

6. Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes

Elvis made it popular, but Carl made it a classic.

5. Led Zeppelin - Black Dog

4. Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode

3. AC/DC - Highway to Hell

2. Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley

1. Kinks - You Really Got Me

            Simple, sloppy and pure rock’n'roll.
