riff

The musician best known for playing the guitar riff in the James Bond theme tune has died.

Prior to belting out her song, "Juno," Carpenter riffed with Domingo for a bit and threw him into some fuzzy handcuffs while everyone screamed with delight.

The song she co-wrote for “Twisters” is built on a simple, repeating, arpeggiated riff on its two main chords, generating a contemplative sound, evoking a long drive on a flat, open highway.

That seesawing piano riff on the soundtrack could be rain droplets or an improvisatory theme for a couple lolling around an open-air market trying on sunglasses.

Since the beginning of touring “Achtung Baby,” we were riffing on this idea of “even better than the real thing.”
