kitchen_kinkI've been trying for some time, unsucessfully, to define for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
imlad the loose musical term, "riff."
How would you define what a riff is? Is it the same thing as a lick? (I think maybe not; isn't a lick more of a fancy flourish on an instrument such as a guitar, rather than a repeated theme throughout a song?) How about a motif? Or is that just for classical music?
Help me out here.
