Beverly Hills by Weezer

You should have no trouble playing this riff at all. For the most part, the two guitars play the same thing, except for the bend at the end of the measure. This riff is set to a standard 90 bpm (beats per minute).

Aqualung- Jethro Tull

Here is a cool riff from Tull that has quite a bit of technique that all guitarists need to know. The ribbon-like symbol in the first and second measure is known as “vibrato.” This is when you rapidly shake the string being played with your fret hand. There are also a few slides, which are performed by sliding your fret hand on the strings while playing at the same time.
