The opening riff of Baying of the hounds. Uriah Heep on steroids.

I love the "vintage prog synth sound" Per uses on that riff. I was pretty skeptic of keyboards in metal, but Per has made me a believer...

Every single acoustic riff written by mikael,

whoops, hope it already hasn't been said

damn mikael! I picked up the acoustic guitar again once I heard black water for the first time.

The end of Karma.

This riff is also good.

6:31 in Hessian Peel, 2:30 in Heir Apparent and the main riff in Bleak.

Ok maybe that's more than one but it's too fucking hard to choose!

For acoustic part, it'll have to be the bit in A Fair Judgement before 'Leave it be'

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

start of leper affinity
serenity painted death chorus
deliverance verse
demon of the fall mid section (acoustic into metal)

 

[de_aztec]

the ebow guitar bit + the acoustic guitar in dirge for november

 

[Godhead59]

The one before and under the solo in Heir Apparent. That's total drooling material

Oh yeah, that one is 100% certified A-grade awesome.

Unfortunately, my favourite riffs these days are ones that I haven't learnt to play, since the sense of mystery escapes.

However, on the contrary, the closing section of Moonlapse Vertigo may be the most enjoyable piece of music to play ever; so addictive.

I will add though, the 'It's getting dark again..' section from Black Rose is so ridiculously haunting it may get the vote.
