Thanks, Paul, for making us happy! 😊
The fact that everyone smiles at the chance of being a part of your videos speaks louder than any amount of subscribers or likes. That's what every musician should strive for, being someone who makes everyone around them happier and better. Kudos Paul, u da real mvp
Great observation. Paul is a wonderful of example of the great benefit of just being a good human.
Tomo is awesome.
I thought the exact same thing...everybody was genuinely happy to see him and pleased to help...

So surprised no one said "money for nothing". Great video as always Paul
People have no taste! LOL
course they didn't, the song is about them!
Cause nobody can play that right lol
Cos already everyone knows they need to learn it
I’m can!
Happy to be on this video!!!!!
When Pete said "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" I rolled my eyes and thought of course he'd say that. But his explanation as to why was very touching and well thought out! I'm learning it now.
Pete rules. He doesn't feel the need to play a zillion notes, but he sure can if he wants to.
Me too
Me too.
One of my favorites to play!!
It's the only song suggested that boomers don't know. ;)
For me, the intro to Crazy Train-Ozzy(Randy Rhodes). Timeless riff and great for building dexterity with the pinky finger.
agreed!
Hard to beat that one.

looks like guitarists are now all living in the past
@@jamespitman3357 nah it’s just that guitar music isn’t that popular nowadays so iconic and famous riffs aren’t being pumped out as frequently as they used to
Plus it's far harder to get anything to get into people's subconscious these days and become an iconic riff due to so many ways of listening to music and more music than ever competing for everyone's attention.
@@jamespitman3357 there are some new stuff too. Tom Misch is a good example
Thank you.
This was not what I expected, and it is all the better for it! I thought it'd be 'just another' top 30, but it was GREAT that you did it like this. Some self-explanatory ones but some lovely 'odd' choices as well. Well done, Paul.
*Disclaimer: difficulty ratings are based on the skill of Paul Davids.
Oh oh
Any rating over 2 Paul Davids is completely unplayable bye a mere mortal!
Great video. I was glad to see that Jake Lizzio is still around, one of the absolute best teachers on UA-cam and with no videos for over a year I was a little concerned.
I was literally thinking this for the last few days and then lo and behold he's on this video, glad to see he's ok
Me too man
More than a feeling by Boston was my favorite album. The harmonies and that special Tom Schultz's unique sound effect is classic!
I was surprised More than a Feeling wasn’t mentioned as well. It even has two classic riffs in one song :)
Tom Scholz is the Rodney Mullen of electric guitar and that should be talked about more
The whole video, I was wondering whether there would be any love for Boston.
Easily best album from the 70s imo. Foreplay / longtime is phenomenal.
More than a feeling is a song, not an album.
hey, tht's Perf de Castro the original guitarist of the seminal Philippine band Rivermaya from the Philippines at 9:05!😍🤩👌🤘
It's a blast seeing the different perspectives of what professionals believe are the best riffs that can enhance a guitarist's journey and ability. SO many different answers that give variety and opportunities. Thanks for this one man
The best mixed video I have yet seen on UA-cam. Period.
If anyone wants a list, here's what I got. I think there is one missing.
1. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer (5/10) Emotion, control, and touch.
2. Beat It - Michael Jackson - (3/10)
3. Here Comes the Sun - Beatles (uses capo) (7/10)
4. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynrd (6/10)
5. BB King - kind of anything - phrasing using only 2 notes (3/10)
6. Schism - Tool (4/10)
7, 8. Pride & Joy - SRV (2 votes) (7/10)
9. Layla - Derek and the Dominos (6/10)
10. Nothing Else Matters (“nope”)
11. Just Got Paid - ZZ Top (3/10)
12. Erotomaina - Dream Theatre (3/10)
13. Foxy Lady - Jimi Hendrix (5/10)
14. Highway to Hell - AC/DC (2/10)
15. Black Dog (correctly!) - Led Zeppelin (7/10)
16. Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd (1/10)
17. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (4/10)

26. Sweet Child O’ Mine - GNR (5/10)
27. Stairway to Heaven - (4/10)
28. Classical Gas - Tommy Emmanuel - (hard - impossible - opinions vary))
29. Jump (chords of opening piano part)- Van Halen (varries) - Jump just the chords to start.
Here Comes the Sun is more like a 4 on this scale, definitely not harder than Layla or Johnny B Goode.
Totally agree with Smoked on the water and surprised that (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction was not in the list!
Hats off to everyone playing live at NAMM, I would never dare to play in front of SO MANY guitarists ! 😅
Same. I don't even like playing in front of my dad, who's been a multi-instrumentalist for over 65 years. He's in his mid 80s now and can still play sax, piano, violin, guitar and ukulele, all by ear, and pretty damn well.
I'm not sure, I think it could be very interesting though. Why not be there, have a great time with great people and doing your best? Afterwards there could be a chance of people hand you one or another advise to improve yourself. Of course I'd be hella nervous, too! But isn't this the point we want to get over? Improve yourself and talk to people through music. Anyways, hats off to all those musicians! Also thank you Paul, for another great video!
"Victim Of Changes" by Judas Priest..
Learn it, Love It, and Play It."
The tone for each song is simply amazing. It is such a pleasure to listen you play those riffs although some of them might be 'overplayed'. Well, you can never get bored of such great playing!
Maybe not a riff per se. But I implore anyone who plays guitar who wants to go from playing just the rhythm to being more of a lead guitarist to take up playing Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry. The Blues-y nature of the song adds a lot of charm when you just wing it and rock out on the Bb scale and is a great way to learn how to solo properly
paul never fails to entertain us and that is why we love him
Everybody loves Paul because he's such a good human.❤🌍🌎🌏
Did anyone notice that Rudy was in his most natural self?
So cool to watch him play the funny guy and to hear him off character was something else!
Nevertheless, beautiful compilation of riffs. ❤
TRUE!!!
I skipped Rudy's bit.
Did you see the first time he had his name on the bottom left of the screen. Ruby Adobe.
Shame on me… I only know 28 of these 30 riffs that everyone really should know…
Thank you Paul for inspiring me to be better ❤
Yeah truly shameful
What was Tomo playing at 8:55??
@@saucerfullofzepp4203 his song Cat Walk
Paul only showed 28 so your golden. Maybe Tomo was one making it 29. We have to come up with one for ourselfs, this is the short list.
lols Same here. My bad.
You should compile these riffs into a book of tabs or a guitar course that goes through each riff from easiest to hardest. I think it would be cool to have each person teach each riff too. I would buy that in a heart beat and I bet it would make for a great learning tool. Loved this video.
that's a10/10 idea that i'd love to buy as well, but the amount of licensing required for that would be otherworldly
good idea though, genuinely
Great ZZ Top choice with "Just Got Paid".

One of THE most iconic guitar riffs. Unmistakable when almost anyone in the world hears it.
Or “It’s only love!” 🤩
Agree, top riff, but you can't speak for anyone in the world lol
Yes, what a killer riff. And song in general.
The riff of Drive my car... completely unexpected. What a pleasant surprise!
Love your work @PaulDavids. I have been watching you for several years. I’m studying with somebody else right now but you’re definitely on the list I’m 68 years old and I am moving out of intermediate Guitar prison . Love your videos and I hope to study more with you as my instructor down the road.❤🎸
So happy to see Jake Lizzio!!! Dudes channel taught me sooooo much. Sad he isn't posting as much now
His videos are really instructive and really allow beginners and even intermediate players to open up the creative side of their playing. We miss you Jake!
He's also perhaps the nicest of them all
Absolutely Love the personal opinions and how how the video was made!! Thank you Mr Davids, thanks to those good people sharing their taste!
Nice ! most of the selected riffs are the simpler ones, don't need too much to be good.
other good riffs:
Kansas - carry on wayward son
April Wine - roller
Alice Cooper - no more mr. nice guy
Ozzy Osbourne - crazy train
David Bowie - rebel rebel
...I could go on and on, music is great ! 👍
Carry on was on my list.
omg I forgot about Rebel Rebel, I freakin love that riff
Brittany Bowman nailed it. My 10 year old just started learning to play. The first thing he learned was highway to hell 🤘
If I may say it without being able to play ANY of those riffs, I think "Slow dancing in a burning room" answers the question for me, and for the same reasons Danish Pete spoke about. Feeling, control, ability to convey emotions. What could one ask more? And it implies technique, knowledge, and pretty much whatever else. 🙂
That said... "Difficulty: impossible" and "Difficulty: Yes" broke me.😅
Loved the video. The questions were totally the "right" questions to ask, and the answers somehow showed what is important for each one of those who answered. Very VERY interesting. 🙂
Thank you a lot. 🙂
See you next time! 🙂
"Here comes the sun" - it's not a riff... it's the actually song you're playing! Really well executed, I might add; so hard to pick out the melody AND strum at the same time.. Very expertly done!
Always love it when Tool gets some love
Who is Tool?
This video is actually perfect. I’m just getting back into guitar after not touching it since high school and I’ve had no idea what to learn, cause I’ve retained enough to be bored playing the basic beginner stuff, but I also need to rebuild my dexterity. This gives me a wide range of stuff to choose from based on what I like, and more importantly, it highlights the skills I’m learning or relearning from each one. Thank you ❤
This is a brilliant video. I was not that big on Hendrix until I started learning some of his songs and now I love listening to his stuff. It's not just about learning the riffs, but there's a good chance people may start listening to other artists more and more which is a great thing.
That's actually funny because it's true ;)
Been playing guitar for 30+ years, I only know 2 of these and I’m fine with it
Paul, thanks so much for having me in the video! Always great to catch up and hang out! Some great riff suggestions from everyone included... I'm going to learn some too!
You should've put 0.35/10 for smoke on the water
WHOLE - LOTTA - LOVE
Pete and Paul talking about Slow Dancing in A Burning Room is so soulful
And the solo is pure love
As a beginner i loved wish you were here by Floyd and Unforgiven by Metallica. Catchy riffs
The song that won me a $50 bet in a random bar in Vegas like 15 years ago when someone said "No one ever knows how to play any Zeppelin song besides Stairway or Black Dog." So on a $50 bet, I played Over the Hills and Far Away. Not too tough but it still gives a nice finger workout and damn near everyone knows the melody to it.
Thank you so much for uploading! I love seeing the riffs you have to play for us.
Nobody asked me but "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by the Stooges.
You are my favourite guitarist. Lots of love from India David sir
Rumble by Link Wray is a killer riff imo. Was suprised that didn't occur on that list
Love hearing all the different answers from so many great musicians. Great video Paul 👌
Summer NAMM time is my favorite time on UA-cam. All my favorite UA-camrs getting together for videos like this.
The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin. It stands out amongst every open string tuning pieces.
one of the first songs i learned!
Agreed. It’s one of the most beautiful guitar pieces ever written.
Great piece, but not really a riff
And played in standard tuning (how I first learned it as a child in the 70's) would make it easily one of the most difficult of all of these.
Note: Jimmy didn't play it in standard tuning. Just to be clear, I've known that since I first learned it in standard.
@@christianhalverson9070 : Led Zeppelin was the first discography I learned almost entirely. Later I did learn the entire discography of Rush up to Power Windows when I realized all of my originals sounded exactly like Alex, and I had to literally stop listening to Rush for years to correct that mistake. A very hard lesson learned. Unless a person wants to be a clone, it's far better to learn a good number of different styles.
Thanks for this Adam Erickson.
I repost it so that it stays on top.
1. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer (5/10) Emotion, control, and touch.

29. Jump (chords of opening piano part)- Van Halen (varries) - Jump just the chords to start.
Thank you, now I got 30 riffs to learn.
I’d say everyone should know That’ll Be The Day. It teaches you hybrid picking, blue notes, and the C7 shape, which is a good introduction to CAGED
Loved this! What a wonderful way to start my week seeing and hearing what brings so much joy to all those players. Thank you Paul.
Notice how most of them are on the easier side. Shows how the most iconic guitar riffs are often the simplest. You don't always need the flashiest technical flair
Pete Thorn id brilliant. He highlights how key it is to get kids playing immediately.
I agree, it was refreshing to hear someone being considerate of what it was like to pick up the guitar for the first time. Being able to play something recognizable right out of the gate is huge for helping newcomers stick with it.
@@JaredPitcher Pete Thorn deserves much more recognition. Many of these people do. But especially Pete.
Yeah, then they'll reach bars 7-8-9 and start whining and toss the guitar... great idea
Green Day, When I come around is a good intro to power chords.
Offspring She’s got issues is also a good one.
Keep yourself alive, Queen.
Zombie, Cranberries
Nancy Boy, Placebo
Creep, Radiohead - for Barre chords
Apache, the Shadows for early stages of using a whammy bar/tremolo arm.
The Drugs Don’t work, by the Verve for expression/emotion
Here comes the sun, for joyful picking.
And for a bass lick, Gone to Pieces by Nik Kershaw.
I can’t believe nobody said “Sultans of Swing”
Fleetwood Mac - Oh well, Focus - Hocus-Pocus, Jethro Tull - Locomotive breath, Smak - Biska 2, Black Sabbath - Paranoid, ZZ Top - La Grange, Smak - Južni voz, Cat Stevens - Wild world, AC/DC - Back in black, Clash - Should I stay or should I go, Iggy Pop - Home, The passenger, INXS - Need You tonight, Jimi Hendriks - Voodoo chile, Lenny Krawitz - Where are we runnin', Placebo - The bitter end, Talking Heads - Slippery people, The Doors - Peace frog, Led Zeppelin - Wanton song, Billy Idol - Flesh for fantasie, Deep Purple - Burn, Smoke on the water, Woman from Tokyo, The Gypsy, Soldier of fortune etc.
Sweet Child might be the most iconic riff ever. I would probably go with Day Tripper. First "riff" I ever learned. Was so hard to do as a kid!! Intro to Octopus' Garden is pretty cool too, and actually pretty easy to get down.
Rory Gallaghers opening riff in "Moonchild" live version gives me goosebumps❤😊
Oh I've been to the NAMM too, what a pity that I didn't meet you in person!
Suprised no one said Money for Nothing by Dire Straits...
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by The Hollies and Closer to the Heart by RUSH
My personal pick is
“Whole Lotta Love”
Everyone’s heard it
Everyone loves it
And anyone can play it.
Say it Aint So - Weezer. So much to learn in one song. Barre chords with hammerons/slides, some introductory leads, double stop bends, an easy but fun solo. And everyone knows it, it's a modern classic song.
AMAZING Video paul. Love how you edit all your videos along with all the great guitar content

Your the man mentioning just got paid, this song just opened and still opening doors for artists to learn how to play and enjoy guitar. That drop d is so sweet and fun to play
What an amazing idea. What a great community! I also think that all the stuff Henning is doing (bringing YTer together) really is contributing to the overall vibe of "togetherness".
few days left, and finally ill get my guitar!!! i waited it for so many years!!! more than 25!! and now the dream comes true!!! I'm so impatient to put my fingers on, and finally play these gorgeous artwork. Thanks a lot for ligth me on again Paul. Ciao!
Loved this so much, thank you! Should have been titled "I, Paul Davids, Can Play Anything" :)
Loved every minute, reminded me of a song...." I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do, They're really saying I Iove you"
Paul is warm, genuine and open, so it’s easy to see why he’s liked by so many.
BTW - Surprised to see no Morello/RATM riffs in there!
Loved the nod to the Philly sound with the O’Jays - when true R&B still lived.
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
You'll take my riff but I'll take yours too
Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down
Dammit - Blink 182
Crazy Train - Ozzy
Absolute faves I constantly play
Stairway is the song that everyone should know how to play but nobody should play
Soo many iconic riffs in this video! I've just started learning guitar and I've been working on most of these.
Happy to recognize Mary Spender there too, pity she wasn't "caught for Paul's interview"
8:01 THAT WAS THE ONE I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!! maaaaaan. I was so lost I was looking for "cool funky bass intros" hahahahahaha.
Many , many , many thanks
Loved the "Difficulty: Yes" on VH.
I'm so glad someone said "Just Got Paid" by ZZ Top, one of the most underrated riffs of all time if you ask me
I listen to a lot of thrash metal and industrial metal with my favorite album being ride the lightning, because for some reason that music soothes my brain. But even though I listen to that stuff mostly, here comes the sun never fails to make me happy.
Seeing all those faces made me smile each appearance!
This soul food!
1:06 he is jhon lennon sure he is gonna choose here comes the sun
I’ve got some riffs to learn now the exact video I’ve been looking for! Can’t believe no one said are you gonna go my way by Lenny Kravitz!!
Song #31: Bad Penny - Rory Gallagher.
One of the greatest opening Riffs ever.
That's a rip-off of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'The Needle And The Spoon'.
@@NoMoreAsterisks No.
@@keithdaniels7491 😂
Chapman wihout the dreads definitely caughty me off-guard; I've been out of the loop in this genre for few years, though. Phenominal video man. Loved every second of it.
Goes to show…there are endless great guitar licks! Keep on rocking!
Just speaking from my own personal experiences when I first started out playing the guitar, I'd have to agree with Mike Bradley's recommendation of the Smells Like Teen Spirit riff, that one was probably the one single ubiquitous guitar riff of the early-to-mid 1990's that all of the kids were trying to learn.
I don't care about difficulty. If I wanted difficulty I'd be in some sort of military special forces. This is where I give the nod to Chapman's choice (total surprise lol). Just Got Paid isn't the most mind bending or "whatever", but it's damn sure the smoothest cool riff ever. Ry Cooder's slide guitar in the movie "Southern Comfort" soundtrack also shakes my soul. I get chills every time I hear it.
Mr brightside is definitely an awesome riff!
I forget what the book was that my mother bought me but the first couple of pages showed you G, C, and D chords and showed the rhythm for wild thing. I’d fucked around with guitars before but this is what hooked me
Wild Thing was wild!
Such a good thing Perf De Castro. A Filipino Musician was there rocking out ....
