I have many favourite Guitar riffs but the one which has long remained my most favoured is Led Zeppelins "Black Dog".
What i then like to do is scour YouTube for the best cover by non-professional guitarists.
This is a "Black Dog" cover instrumental only (no vocal). It helps that the guy is not only a damn good Guitar player, he also plays it on a Gibson Les Paul!
What's your favourite and is there a quality cover on YouTube?

Sweet Child O'Mine's main bridge riff is AMAZING considering Slash was off his tits on heroin at the time.
Special mentions though for....
Voodoo Chile
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (virtually impossibly to copy even by the finest guitarists)
Life On Mars - simple, but very effective
most of Nile Rogers' Chic work - it's completely iconic
Heartbreaker by Led Zep
D'Ya Know What I Mean by Oasis - Noel's best solo IMHO
I could go on.....
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
Or the one in Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. The guitar actually sounds like it's weeping. Classic.

the whole song is ace, but the guitar really tells a story.
Got that on a 12" double A sided single (Sweet Home Alabama on the other).
Killer Queen
Oh way too many to mention.
Waterfall - Stone Roses
Love Spreads - Stone Roses
Love Is The Law - Seahorses
I quite like "Over The Hills And Far Away" by Led Zep too. Jimmy Page was just a dictionary of great riffs through the 70's.
Santana
I can't listen to it because it was played at a mate's funeral who died at the age of 22 from complications due to Cystic Fibrosis. It is just associated with that for me, even 21 years later.
Is that "Don't Fear The Reaper"?
Or anything by Muse
Could I also add Pinball Wizard to the list.
