In music, an ostinato (derived from Italian: "stubborn", compare English: obstinate) is a motif or phrase which is persistently repeated in the same musical voice. An ostinato is always a succession of equal sounds. Each note always has the same weight in an ostinato. The repeating idea may be a rhythmic pattern, part of a tune, or a complete melody. Both "ostinatos" and "ostinati" are accepted English plural forms, although the latter better reflects the word's Italian etymology. Strictly speaking, ostinati should have exact repetition, but in common usage, the term covers repetition with variation and development, such as the alteration of an ostinato line to fit changing harmonies or keys. If the cadence may be regarded as the cradle of tonality, the ostinato patterns can be considered the playground in which it grew strong and self-confident. —Edward E.

Well writing in a specific key helps a lot. Just use chords in a given key in random order with some interesting strumming patterns a viola you have a riff.

Stone - Get Stoned Written 1988 It's not so much the notes of the riff, but the feel of it and the structure (of the intro) where I see any similarities. I also would Not say it was 'stolen', as there are so many songs with similarities either in structure or notes it wouldn't be fair...but that intro is pretty close. *Happy B-Day Cliff!

Q. In the first episode of Naruto, where Naruto and Mizuki fight, right before they start fighting there is this little piano riif. Does anyone know what that's called, and where I can find how to play it? Asked by Naruto - Mon Nov 23 19:13:38 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you mean the sad little one that's played whenever Naruto thinks back about Sasuke, it's called "Sadness and Sorrow." Rather fitting and hauntingly beautiful.
