As someone who loves all rock- everything from heavy metal to classic rock to punk to alternative to prog and pop- it's good to see Sabbath, Van Halen, The Smiths, Black Flag, Rush, Crowded House etc represented here. Eclectic and well played
I love how you show the best of the different worlds of popular guitar music… alternative, rock, punk, metal… some were mainstream at the time and some were more deeper cuts. Awesome year by year highlights.
@@danieldemoro2743 correct his content always grabbed me for that reson. Man I don’t listen to all these songs now but I know most of them and respect all of them in one way or the other so to see someone play them with this kind of precise honour is nothing but a joy
I love that you included The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxsie etc along with all the great rock riffs. So often everybody forgets how much of an influence British Post Punk and New Wave had on rock and roll music.
@@irfanindrianarsyah1013 And great choices, "A Forest", "Spellbound", "Dreams Never End", "Save It For Later", etc. The variety in this entire video is spot on.
You probably know it, but you are a fucking great guitarist, my friend. I've been watching you for a month or more and watching you playing made me playing guitar again after some years. Thank you for these masterpieces and inspiring me to do something I loved when I was younger. Greetings from Brazil!
You are my favorite youtube guitarist. Yes, there are much more people on yt who can shred and tap all around at 1000bpm making songs unnecessarily overwhelming, but you can actually play and feel just like us, the common guitarists, i love your vids and sometimes i watch your hands and learn how to play that riff, what is really handy. And all of that precious playing without useless talking and face selling. This is the best guitar channel sorry for any grammar and syntax mistakes, i'm not a native English speaker
Greaf riff collection ! Missed some Smiths and INXS. for my unsurprise i fall for The Cure JLH like i always did so easily, but surprsingly i had to admit Raining Blood is really a killer. Killer. One.
The '80s was a great time for guitar centric music, I played in various punk and new wave bands in the '80s and '90s, we did a few covers but always chose something no one would expect us to play, songs like Planet Earth, Purple Rain, Its a Sin, but we made them our own using different time signatures and keys. I was happy to hear you included some John McGeoch in there! he could have become huge if the depression and booze were not a factor, every S &TB album and single released I was deciphering Johns guitar parts, there is some real genius playing that came from Mr McGeoch!
every time that guitar from Just Like Heaven kicks in, I don't know why, I always feel the butterflies in my stomach p.s. I hope you'll do 10 The Jesus and Mary Chain riffs! ✨
Husker Du - “underrated”? Nah. I know where you’re coming from but I’d say that they have plenty plenty kudos. For once, somebody really genuinely good gets credit I reckon. D and C is in my top five of all time. What. A. Fucking. Riff.
Please do a 2000's or 90's one! For 90's you could probably do: Judas Priest - Painkiller (1990) Corrosion Of Conformity - Dance Of The Dead (1991) Faith No More - Midlife Crisis (1992) Porno For Pyros - Pets (1993) Pantera - I'm Broken (1994) Deftones - Bored (1995) Tool - Stinkfist (1996) Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench (1997) Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution (1998) RHCP - Otherside (1999)
Coulda definitely used Mudhoney - Touch Me I'm Sick, AC/DC - For Those About to Rock, Husker Du - Pink Turns to Blue, Fugazi - Waiting Room, and Van Halen - Hot For Teacher.
Videos like this put into perspective how skewed my musical perception of time is. I would never have put How Soon is Now and She Sells Sanctuary in the same year as Money for Nothing and The Power of Love. Yet they were all 1985.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear Nervous Shakedown on here. I discovered that album when I was first exploring itunes I believe and despite feeling the production was far below the last couple albums before it, I loved multiple songs from it (Nervous Shakedown being my favorite early on).
love that VH unchained riff. I remember Dave Wakeling from The Beat saying he got a phone call from Pete Townshend and David Gilmour as they were sitting together trying to work out thr tunings for save it for later, he thought it was a wind up.
Hey if you ever do one on 90s riff here's some songs I'd recommend Who was in my room last night? - Buthole Surfers Galaxie - Blind Melon Land of Sunshine - Faith No More Regular John - Queens of the Stone Age Sleep Now in the fire - Rage Against The Machine Ween - Buckingham Green
fuckin hell you even put the replacements in there. mad respect. crazy how people always look down on the 80s when from 78 to 83 it was a fucking post-punk early new wave orgy
As someone who loves all rock- everything from heavy metal to classic rock to punk to alternative to prog and pop- it's good to see Sabbath, Van Halen, The Smiths, Black Flag, Rush, Crowded House etc represented here. Eclectic and well played
Thanks mate! Yeah I tried to get a bit of everything in there.
Dont forget Metallica!!❤️
@@coolbeans8435 yes, he played too many favorites to mention them all
You forgot nirvana
@@pvt_mtbl9516 yes, you're right. Actually, there are too many bands for me to list. That's why I love this channel so much!
I love how you show the best of the different worlds of popular guitar music… alternative, rock, punk, metal… some were mainstream at the time and some were more deeper cuts. Awesome year by year highlights.
Thanks man.
Because he’s not pretentious like lots of these music snobs out there.
Agree 100% My comment says basically the same thing
@@danieldemoro2743 correct his content always grabbed me for that reson. Man I don’t listen to all these songs now but I know most of them and respect all of them in one way or the other so to see someone play them with this kind of precise honour is nothing but a joy
@@danieldemoro2743 yeah i like that humble and chill vibe here
I love that you included The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxsie etc along with all the great rock riffs. So often everybody forgets how much of an influence British Post Punk and New Wave had on rock and roll music.
yes sir!
@@irfanindrianarsyah1013 And great choices, "A Forest", "Spellbound", "Dreams Never End", "Save It For Later", etc. The variety in this entire video is spot on.
Granted, the 60s-90s were all amazing decades for riffs, but there was truly something special about the 80s. Love it!

Thanks! I really appreciate you watching.
Huey Lewis into Slayer. I think I pulled a muscle. Nice work. 🤣Bonus points for Echo and the Bunnymen and Jesus and Mary Chain.
I like how you, unlike other youtubers, remember punk exist.
Dude right now you're my favourite youtuber. Argentina represent
I could genuinely talk for hours with this guy about music based souly on his choices here! I know every. single. song.
Not all of em but I would definitely like to hear more of the obscure ones
Damn, you really represented the 80s. From U2 to Sonic Youth and so many others. Good job.
So great to see the Replacements and Husker Du represented!

lets be real you wanted to flex the fender jag...
wouldn't blame you
Butttt...
You Could'a got A TELE!!!
@James Brown I used to think that
@James Brown Straight up
@James Brown volume knob is waaayy too close to the bridge for my taste
Jaguars are overrated. Tele's are better.
80s is really the golden age of riffs
I think 90s is better
Both have their merit and sound
Breaking the law will forever be one of the most iconic hard rock/metal riffs ever. And I'm not even a Judas Priest fan but it's just that epic 🔥
Tell you what, matey…. You picked some tricky bloody riffs in that lot and did a great job in them!
Cheers mate!
@@bloxsy_ I thought you’d bottled it when the timeline passed ‘Message in a Bottle ‘ but you actually choose the even harder Police riff! Fair play!:)
That Jazzmaster is absolutely gorgeous 😍
Ok, but can we agree that the tone for Limelight is literally SPOT ON! Great video 🙏
I hope everyone appreciates the video editing that went into this one.
Nice to see Eighties by Killing Joke! Most of my favourites bands are in this video.
The inclusion of crowded house brought a smile to my face, thank you :)
You know something’s good when it starts with Ramones
Greaf riff collection ! Missed some Smiths and INXS. for my unsurprise i fall for The Cure JLH like i always did so easily, but surprsingly i had to admit Raining Blood is really a killer. Killer. One.
That you got The Puppet, How Soon is Now and Teen Age Riot in there alongside Def Leppard... Just wow!

The guitar tone for Bastards of Young sounded spot on!
Your different effects were awesome. Well played! You covered so many great bands/songs! From Van Halen to The Smiths…very impressive!
1987 is one of the best years for rock.
1988 too
yeah and 84, 85, and 86
and 77.
and 67.
Major respect for adding each date as time-stamps! 🤘Love the vids!
Thanks!
every time that guitar from Just Like Heaven kicks in, I don't know why, I always feel the butterflies in my stomach
p.s. I hope you'll do 10 The Jesus and Mary Chain riffs! ✨
Such a good guitar player. You have the best taste in music by a country mile.
Must listen to more Siouxsie, and the Pixies. Not a surprise Neil Young's riff is so heavy.
Amazing , a big smile on my face when you played Ratt and underrated songs like unchained and nervous shakedown 🤘🤘
Much respect for including the Replacements
0:58 how a powerfull riff! R.I.P EVH❤🙏
LOVE the fact that you put Divide and Conquer in there. Seriously underrated riff from a seriously underrated band
Husker Du - “underrated”? Nah. I know where you’re coming from but I’d say that they have plenty plenty kudos. For once, somebody really genuinely good gets credit I reckon. D and C is in my top five of all time. What. A. Fucking. Riff.
@@geordiedog1749 the whole song is that riff, and each verse is better than the last. My favorite Huskers song.
@@jkf9167 Probably in my top three fave songs of all time if I’m honest!
6:00, one of my absolute favorites 👌. Great job on doing all these great riffs 👍👍 keep it up.
This is fucking genius. Every song moves me in one direction or another.
I’m so glad you added def leopards photograph in there! As well as nervous shakedown, two very overlooked songs in my opinion! Good job!
Thanks! Very underrated, I agree.
One time I heard photograph in my dream
It amazes me that songs that came out in 83 (my birth year) are still so widely known and played.
Hair metal had some of the most killer guitar riffs
Without a doubt the best decade of music in my opinion. I can literally listen to any genre and I'll like it 😌
5:42
Lets see Paul Allens riff
lmao
this gives me ✨ serotonin ✨, thank you
Starting it off with the Almighty Ramones, and including Black Flag’s “Rise Above” is badass!!! You cover it all, homie! Great job!
Thanks dude!
Love the 80s!! Such a good time for rock music. Glad you included dreams never end
Like re-living my late teens and early 20s all over again. Cheers!
Please do a 2000's or 90's one!
For 90's you could probably do:
Judas Priest - Painkiller (1990)
Corrosion Of Conformity - Dance Of The Dead (1991)
Faith No More - Midlife Crisis (1992)
Porno For Pyros - Pets (1993)
Pantera - I'm Broken (1994)
Deftones - Bored (1995)
Tool - Stinkfist (1996)
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench (1997)
Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution (1998)
RHCP - Otherside (1999)
Man I can’t help but miss rock from the 80s
Dude, the things I would give up to go back to the 80s..and to stay there forever
I think This Charming Man should've been included.
yessss, that riff is too recognizable and gives good vibes
That is a gorgeous SG you used for the Back in Black riff.
Thanks for the She Sells Sanctuary and One I love in your mix.
A lot more choice deep cuts than I expected. Well played, sir.
Great selection, You are doing something great for people who have/and want to play, Great Presentation, all others, keep Strumming
Coulda definitely used Mudhoney - Touch Me I'm Sick, AC/DC - For Those About to Rock, Husker Du - Pink Turns to Blue, Fugazi - Waiting Room, and Van Halen - Hot For Teacher.
A decade of catchy riffs.
Nice selection 👍
Thought this was all going to be arena rock, but I'm glad the post-punk bands got a mention here!
Great list!! So diverse!
This is incredible. I know all these songs. Perfect playing and perfect re-creation of the guitar songs.
I am fascinated about the great choice of songs ! bravo !!
Great playing and song choices 🎸🎸🎸
Im so glad you included certain songs, you chose the best
Thank you.
Videos like this put into perspective how skewed my musical perception of time is. I would never have put How Soon is Now and She Sells Sanctuary in the same year as Money for Nothing and The Power of Love. Yet they were all 1985.
Love this video. The 80s really did have some of the greatest riffs in rock music history.
Bro I just knew you were gonna include nirvana in 89
So many of my favorite bands here! Yes!!
Surprised you didn't pick Need You Now for INXS, iconic. Great video!
How could I forget that one! Maybe I was thinking it was in the 90s
That Jaguar can do everything! Nice video.
This probably the most riffs you've put in one video. Keep it up!
Sick. Can't wait for the 90s timeline
Awesome variety!! Would love to learn most of these licks. I know a few.
What an eclectic mix, cheers!
I was pleasantly surprised to hear Nervous Shakedown on here. I discovered that album when I was first exploring itunes I believe and despite feeling the production was far below the last couple albums before it, I loved multiple songs from it (Nervous Shakedown being my favorite early on).
You hit it out of the park with this one can't wait for the 90's 🤘🤘🤘
That was an awesome trip down memory lane for this Gen Xer. Thanx! 😎
This is my playlist of songs I need to learn
You're an incredible musician. You have great taste. Good to see some Sonic Youth amongst many other of my favorite songs.
What a fantastic selection, great to hear so many different genres included.
love that VH unchained riff. I remember Dave Wakeling from The Beat saying he got a phone call from Pete Townshend and David Gilmour as they were sitting together trying to work out thr tunings for save it for later, he thought it was a wind up.
Wonderful, waiting for the 90s one (if it's not already made!)
Cantrell, Morello and all the other fine gentlemen!
Couple of extra riffs I wanted to shoutout:
Minutemen: Corona
New Order: Age of Consent
basically anything off the debut Fugazi EP
Dude your tone is really good
That Fender sounds like heaven.
A wide range of great riffs, nicely recreated tones, and playing Master of Puppets with only downstrokes. Nailed it.
Hey if you ever do one on 90s riff here's some songs I'd recommend
Who was in my room last night? - Buthole Surfers
Galaxie - Blind Melon
Land of Sunshine - Faith No More
Regular John - Queens of the Stone Age
Sleep Now in the fire - Rage Against The Machine
Ween - Buckingham Green
i never thought you'll add INXS! thank youuuuu, such an underated band!
Well done, amazing, every riff perfect played, and interesting list of the 80s music 👏👏
Thank you.
Glad you added stone roses. For those who don't know them, go listen their debut album
hitting us with both the replacements and husker du? i love this channel!
i'm half way through and liked, subscribed, commenting... this is awesome, great work, thank you for putting in the time and energy to make this video
Great playing! Perfect tone! Fantastic song choices
Yooo, the tone you used for bad to the bone was perfect
VERY well done, Sir....👍👍
I feel me back to the 80'ts 👍👍👍
Awesome selection
Fantastic work as usual! I'd probably suggest Touch Me I'm Sick by Mudhoney
Thank you. Yeah that would have been a good one.
You nailed the Edge's sound - Pride sounded particularly ace!
I appreciate your use of fingerstyle for Dire Straits!
fuckin hell you even put the replacements in there. mad respect. crazy how people always look down on the 80s when from 78 to 83 it was a fucking post-punk early new wave orgy
