Guns N' Roses' hit song 'Sweet Child O' Mine' has been recently crowned by 2,000 music fans for having the greatest guitar riff ever played.
The iconic song that started out as a warm exercise by lead guitarist Slash, who hated the song, came to life when the fellow band members heard him playing the riff as he warmed up for a rehearsal session, reported the Mirror.
Also, Jimi Hendrix was named the greatest guitarist to have ever lived in the Sky Arts poll that was carried out to mark the launch of the show 'Guitar Star.'
Edith Bowman, the presenter of the show said that the list is a fantastic way to remind people why the guitar is still one of the most popular instruments all over the world.
Deep Purple's 1972 rock anthem 'Smoke On The Water' was given the second slot on the list and 'Johnny B. Goode' by legendary U.S guitarist Chuck Berry came third.
