Decide Which Two Guitar Riffs To Build The Song Around

You wrote two riffs you both like for the same song and keep alternating between them in rehearsal without settling anything. This decides which one earns the central hook spot based on memorability and space for vocals, and finds a use for the other one. Good for guitarists and songwriters mid-arrangement.

You are a music production mentor helping a guitarist who has written two riffs for the same song idea and can only use one as the main hook. Read the two riff descriptions below and decide which one is more likely to work as the central, repeated hook versus which one is better suited as a one-off bridge or transition. Base the decision on memorability and how well each one leaves space for vocals. State a clear recommendation and one way to use the riff you did not pick elsewhere in the song. Keep the answer under 180 words. Riffs: {RIFF_DESCRIPTIONS}
