Sweet Child O’ Mine is reportedly the United Kingdom’s favorite guitar riff –

According to a new three-part documentary series called Greatest Guitar Riffs on Sky Arts, Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses is the United Kingdom’s favorite guitar riff.

The poll asked 2,000 music fans in the United Kingdom, and artists such as Sam Fender, Arctic Monkeys and Queen were included in the top 40. The runner-up in the poll was Purple Rain by Prince and this was followed by Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits in third place.

Director of Sky Arts, Phil Edgar-Jones, said in the series: “Whether it’s the late, great Jimi Hendrix, the faithful like Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin, or the new artists coming through, rock ‘n’ roll will never die.”
