\"RIFFTASTIC:

RIFFTASTIC: Jimi Hendrix has been voted as having created the best guitar riff of all time.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Child (Slight Return)<\/em> has been voted as having the best guitar riff of all time.<\/p>\n

The 1970 track beat Guns N’ Roses classic Sweet Child O’Mine<\/em> – which topped the poll five years ago – to the top spot in the poll by website MusicRadar,com, with Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin coming third.<\/p>\n

Just two songs from the past decade made the list; Muse’s 2001 hit Plug In Baby<\/em> at 11 and The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army<\/em>, which was released in 2003, at 15.<\/p>\n

MusicRadar.com’s editor-in-chief Mike Goldsmith said: “Nearly 40 years after his untimely death, Jimi Hendrix is still the undisputed heavyweight champion of rock guitar.<\/p>\n

“Of the current generation of six-string stars, only Jack White of The White Stripes and Muse frontman Matt Bellamy feature in the higher echelons of our list. No surprise given both Bellamy and White share – or have inherited – Hendrix’s unique blend of experimental instincts and white-knuckle showmanship.<\/p>\n

“Above all though, our poll seems to indicate one thing – in 2009, classic rock still rules.”<\/p>\n

Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water<\/em> and Derek and the Dominos’ Layla <\/em>– which features Eric Clapton on guitar – made up the rest of the top five, with AC\/DC, Metallica, The Beatles, Nirvana and The Rolling Stones also featuring in the top ten.<\/p>\n

More than 5000 MusicRadar.com users took part in the poll.<\/p>\n
