    “Smoke on the water” is probably the first thing many guitarists started with of that era. That’s one of the first things I picked when I started and still do 😂

    that first riff of Verminous reminds me a little of that one riff of the bridge in Scar Spangled Banner by Exodus.

    5:19 That's the main riff of "Cassie eats cockroaches" By Acid Bath. Doesn't sound like Acid bath playing it though.
