Bad Boy for Life (P. Diddy)
Although not from an artist you would generally consider to be very guitar-centric, this song features a cool riff based on the minor pentatonic scale. Learn to play the riff here, and learn to use the same principles in your own songs.

Breakdown (Tom Petty)
It may be a simple little lick, but you'll be amazed at how much information and how many ideas we can derive from "Breakdown". The song is in the key of A minor, and the riff is based the A minor pentatonic scale.

Don't Let Me Down (The Beatles)
Based primarily on the E major pentatonic scale, you can apply the principle of today's riff to create different licks. Playing these hammer-on ideas using the pentatonic major gives you a very Hendrix-y sound (think "The Wind Cries Mary").

The Wind Cries Mary (Jimi Hendrix)
This opening riff to the classic "The Wind Cries Mary" clearly illustrates the chordal approach that is at the heart of Jimi's guitar style. There are a few key harmonic sources that Hendrix draws from to create this intro - a variation on a major chord shape, and the major pentatonic scale.
