The main riff in this song is played on the Bass guitar.
This page covers the guitar parts, which aren't as distinct, but are still pretty cool.
-------------------------------------------------------
There are three guitar parts to this song: the chorus, the verse, and the bridge.
I'll give you all three separately, and let you put them in place.
The lyrics are below also, to help you out.

Brick House (lyrics)
 
Chorus:
She's a brick----house
Mighty might just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact,
ain't holding nothing back.
 
She's a brick----house
She's the one, the only one,
who's built like a amazon
We're together everybody knows,
and here's how the story goes.
 
Verse:
1. She knows she got everything
a woman needs to get a man, yeah.
How can she use, the things she use
36-24-36, what a winning hand!
 
(Chorus)
 
Verse:
2. The clothes she wears, the sexy ways,
make an old man wish for younger days
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees
 
(Chorus)
 
Bridge:
Shake it down, shake it down now (repeat)
