Great job! You brought back a lot of memories for me. I was in high school in the 70's (Class of '76') and I was playing guitar at the time. These are all the hit songs I was record copying. Yep, vinyl 45 and 33-1/3 rpm records in my day...lol!

Huge congratulations on not using a backing track. So many ‘Greatest Riffs’ compilations obscure the riff by embedding it in a version of the original track. Your versions give a clear sense of what the riff would in most cases have sounded like when the guitarist first came up with it.
