"Hey Joe" Jimi Hendrix

+1 for "Hey Joe"...that's my favorite Hendrix song, and one of the most well known guitar rifts!

Mojo Nixon also did one

"Jingle bells, shotgun shells, satan is a smurf, take me to the Toys R Us cause I don't want to work.
Riding on the bus, on my way to school, do not like the teacher, because she is a fool..."

Good ole Moj
