guitar practice

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS.

I haven't played much guitar in recent years, but I picked it up again the other day and started noodling around.  I strung a few riffs and licks together as an exersise...  I can't quite play it yet without making a few mistakes, but what the hell, it's fun.

That's some badass riffage quadz. Here's a cool progression i've been working on for the past day or so, it's from the song five magics by megadeth. It's some good alternate picking practice, and it sounds cool.

Here's another riff: it's the intro to Tornado of Souls by megadeth. This one's hard to nail.

back to the tool thing...these are easy riffs for a decent player to play.

The riffs I posted? I would rate them at intermediate to advanced. I'm not going to get into a pissing contest about the ultimate riff. These riffs are simply good practice for a developing player.

Hey i might starting posting here, i've been playin 6 years, i bought my first guitar with my first check from my first job!, it's a washburn super strat model, its paint job looks like a black marble floor, or table, or whatever!
