Alter Bridge: Mark Tremonti's 14 Best Guitar Riffs

7. I Know It Hurts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B32wxFP-rAQ As the Foo Fighters proved with their newest album's first single Something from Nothing, throwing some sharp bends into a heavy part of a song works wonders to stir up the soul. So it is that I Know It Hurts launches straight into a very heavy riff interspersed with some dual-string bends that ooze extra levels of flair to the entire feel of those first few seconds. It continues AB III's delving into all the negative emotions that come with charting someone's analysation of their own depression, with lyrics speaking as another voice offering the album's protagonist some comforting advice. Tremonti has also noted the climaxing solo is the hardest he's ever laid down, but it definitely rounds off one of this album's standout tracks in the best way.
