most distinctive riffs

[Appfro]

as stupid as this sounds, tenacious d has great riffs using nothing but three chords, usually g, c, d, w/ the occasional am

tributes got f's and is in the key of amin. i think, while they sound good, its not nescessarily distinctive.

come on man. i said usually. of course they use other chords. let's not split hairs. and i think they're riffs are very distinctive. it's an opinion.

i know... its just that tribute is the only tenacious d i kno. and i dont know if chord progressions are really considered "riffs". if so nirvana has very distinctive riffs cause they use like 3 different chords and the blues scale. thats it. im not tryin to be nit picky. i like tenacious d.

oh ok, i understand now. you just need to listen to some more of their stuff. kyle does a lot more stuff than in tribute. i would consider that a riff either. and what i meant about riffs in those chords, was just that, not playing those chords but kinda lead behind those chords stuff.

I know that Tim Reynolds uses that descending riff in a TON of his songs

Not stupid at all. The songwriting and production on their album is kickass.
