The 30 Guitar Riffs Everyone Should Know

So if there's one riff, one

guitar

riff that every

guitar

ist has to learn, what would it be and why is this the question I asked all my friends at The NAMM Show? I love your stuff, so what's the best way to start this? video with Pete, so what's the guitar if

everyone

should

know

how to slow dance in a burning room? It's about to feel and about control and emotion, please, it's a difficult question. A guitar riff that

everyone

should

know

, in my opinion. Beat It by Michael. Jackson, oh, if I don't want to catch this guy or I don't want to be recognized, yeah, yeah, I'm cut, yeah, I played in Guns and Roses, whatever it is, I'm going to go with Here Comes the Sun, oh, I love that one you just heard. that song will make everyone happy.

I don't know what kind of person wouldn't enjoy listening to that song and I mean, what's the point of music making people happy? So play songs like Here Comes the Sun, the Paul David video, um Sweet Home Alabama, you. You'll probably make more money playing with that breakout risk. I think of BB King like this, it's like a route and just one note, it's easy to see how it works. I love being here. Thank you so much. Tool Schism, is a perfect way to practice double hammers. which are a little bit syncopated to have a cool rhythm, it's something that if you just practice for five minutes it will make it look like you really know what you're doing.

The perfect riff for anything, when I learned, pride and joy, you know the intro. it's iconic, the whole rhythm part, Gonna Change Your Life, the guitar every guitar player should know is that the blues guy I played so many times as a beginner told me and definitely taught me the basics, thanks I'd say layla has a bit from Bend so you can work on your bench, yeah, a little low, that's very for cancer. I'm going to go with uh Nothing Else Matters by Metallica because they're all open threads for anyone to play that thing right, it's like someone wants to. to learn how to play the guitar, um, you could show them that anyone is right and in 10 minutes you have someone playing the guitar and they say it sounds just like the song if you do it correctly, some of the slides, but also some thick chords I would say I just got paid, I think that's, uh, I think the camera is too close to my face, it kind of introduced me to chromaticism.

I was like holy shit, I can play notes next to each other and it sounds good, bro, I think. foxy lady Jimi Hendrix um, this is like the sound of music, guitar and intention. I feel like Jimi Hendrix has a lot of heart and makes everything sing, so it's a beautiful connection between emotions. ACDC's Highway to Hell is just classic and it's simple. Enough that you can learn it when you're just starting out, but it's still amazing that if you play it after years of knowing how to play guitar, it's still relevant and awesome, oh yeah, all the guitarists, Black Dog, and how to play it properly with The Strange rhythmic thing that happens because it's kind of cool and it's a lot of fun to play a foreign spirit because when I was 11 that was the Riff and it's four, it's four chords, it's power chords and when I was younger I thought if you can play that You are the best guitarist in the world, probably the most important neck you will ever learn is Johnny Be Good because it teaches you the black blues form and it teaches you how to listen and replicate a rhythm and once you can do those two things you can start learning Clapton and Paige and all kinds of other videos that teach you Nuance and teach you how to play that kind of visceral style of guitar.

I think it's very funny, thank you. Okay, it's called For the Love of Money. I got it from the O'Jays oh, how I lost in Paris Tom mesh thanks what's the only guitar riff that every guitar is, you know, Mr Brightside by The Killers, the way the open string is incorporated is so beautiful and also as iconic as you I can literally play this, everyone knows it's foreign so everyone should know how to play it. a guitar riff, yeah, come on. Smoke on the Water, really, Smoke on the Water, let me hear it, it's the best of all time.

Ah, I can't have the pick in my hand. I don't know if you listen to it, thank you, the size is also good for playing and it's just a classic, so what is the guitar that everyone should know? Stairway to Heaven because it's the one that everyone knows about, obviously, yeah, to be honest. any Tommy Emmanuel song and he told me in my new song, yeah, I'm going to say the opening riff of Classical Gas by Tommy Emanuel, it's a Chet Atkins lick, in fact, it's fast, it's flashy and it's very easy to play uh Van Halen they are playing the jump video and I was like whatever that's what I want to do forever this video is so good thanks for watching And subscribe to my channel it's definitely not mine if you don't want to See what I say, this will be the end
