So as 2022 comes to a close, we wanted to take a look at some of the best guitar riffs to grace the airwaves in the past twelve months. In this video, we\u2019ll be spanning multiple genres and including riffs from Panic! At The Disco, Marcus King, The Weeknd, and more. So without further ado, here are Ayla&#8217;s top six riffs of 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;Sugar Soaker&#8221; &#8211; Panic! At The Disco <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll kick things off with an old-school rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll riff by Panic! At The Disco. This riff is mostly just some quick power chords, but you&#8217;ll also add in a few bluesy low E-string bends for good measure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Panic!

The key to nailing this riff is to keep a steady rhythm and add in some light palm muting for added texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Weeknd - Sacrifice\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VafTMsrnSTU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;Iron Lung&#8221; &#8211; King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a riff with a little more edge, look no further than &#8220;Iron Lung&#8221; by King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard. This riff uses some fuzzy power chords, trills, and a cool pentatonic lick. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard - Iron Lung\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Njk2YAgNMnE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-12 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;Lie Lie Lie&#8221; &#8211; Marcus King <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcus King&#8217;s &#8220;Lie Lie Lie&#8221; features a riff that is both bluesy and infectious. To get it sounding right, you&#8217;ll need to nail the groovy rhythm by playing in between the beat, then resolving by landing on two big power chords.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marcus King - Lie Lie Lie (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3bDFEGLOB0w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-15 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;Bad Habit&#8221; &#8211; Steve Lacy Steve <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this riff, you&#8217;ll get to make use of a few soulful bar chord shapes.
