Hi Marty, My name is Hunter and I am 15. I live in a small town with my family and a guitar. Every thing I know is because of you being such a great teacher and inspiring me to push my self to become better as a player. I hope some day I will be able to meet you in person so we can rock out!!! Great video, keep them coming!
This is probably the closest best 90s guitar riffs to my personal opinion that I have yet to see! I’m 16 and absolutely love everything 90s alternative especially the chili peppers! Love this list! Thanks Marty!
My mom first taught me La Bamba and Song Sung Blue in 1989 when I was 14, then Kurt inspired me in 1991 to expand into grunge and beyond. Yes I was 16 when Nevermind came out, that was an amazing time in music and I feel lucky to have experienced it in real time 😊
Marty, I really appreciate the personal touch you give to these top 10 lists. Knowing how an artist I really respect felt when first hearing these songs is so insightful and great. "You are who you were when", as a sociologist once said, and that applies especially to the music we love. I grew up in the 60's/70's era, and I can remember sitting in my dad's car in Berkley, MI, while he went into a store for a minute. He left the AM radio on (even before the days of FM). The Doors came on playing "Light My Fire". As far as I know, that is the very first rock song I had ever heard. My mom and dad were more into country western (Hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin') and folk (Green, green, it's green they say on the far side of the hill). I would listen to the radio for hours just waiting to hear that song again. (I was too young, and we were too poor, to have money to buy a 45 RPM record, back then.)
the way u played kurts vocals from smells like teen spirit gave me mega goosebumps. what an amazing band they were.. keep up that phenomenal channel marty, you truly are a gem in the presents music community !
Man this was one of the best and interesting videos you've made so far! You really take one on a time travel and giving us a sense on how it was .. not even in terms of music as it only had such a great impact on social culture. Thanks for that especially as I'm curruntly very into the 90s Grunge scene etc. Would have loved to be at this RHCP concert you were talking about as they and PJ belong to my absolut favourits! Thanks and regards from Germany
man, I started playing a few months ago and when you said you started in 93 which is the same year i was born, it makes sense how effortlesss it all must be, please keep the videos coming
The thing that stuck out to me most about this video was the similarity of our stories. I'm about the same age as you and my experience in the 90s is similar to yours. At the time, I was into Phish, Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler et al and had no appreciation for most of the songs featured here, but as I have aged and nostalgia has set in, I have an appreciation for that music that I couldn't feel back then.
I agree, I think that was one of the best concerts I had ever been to. It was Love Trilogy the opened with when Flea descended from the rafters upside down. The funny thing I remember on the night I went Eddie Vedder was trying to get everyone to get out of their seats and no one was really paying attention to him. I don't think they even turned off the house lights. I went to Lollapalooza that next summer and everyone was crazy for Pearl Jam. What a difference a few months made. Love the channel, keep up the awesome work!
This is the decade I started playing guitar. I really got into guitar when grunge came around. These guys made it simple and had great lyrics. I wasn't skilled enough to be a hair metal or led zeppelin style player. Grunge gave me an outlet
I think Marty and I graduated around the same time. I remember when BSSM came out. I remember being blown away by that entire album. Such a powerful album for me.
The 90s delivered hands down some of the greatest music. You can go for days pulling out riffs and then realize you haven’t been touched the Britrock scene that was exploding at the same time...
I have been following your vids for a few months now have learnt some new riffs and theory that have really helped me advance - you're a fantastic player and really know your stuff. But mostly what I love is that your affection for the music - you have eclectic taste and don't get elitist about any particular genre, your teaching and presenting is very down to earth and unpatronising and there's nothing phoney about your content. This could have easily been a stock 'top ten' list just to get hits but it's clear these tracks mean a lot to you and it's great to hear some anecdotes about your influences, they make the videos that much more enjoyable.
it’s so awesome to hear someone who’s taught and been an inspiration for so many people talk about these moments of immense inspiration for himself and take us on a trip back to how things were when he was younger, for me I’m now a freshman in college realizing I’m gonna be looking back on my experiences right now and it’s up to me to make sure that when I look back I’m happy and proud of what I did in these moments
Wow! Fantastic video and breakdown of the songs, and well as the personal insight into what these songs meant to you! Thank you for sharing this with us. I REALLY enjoyed it!
Andy you’re the man. Simple easy to understand tutorials. Picked up a guitar for the first time couple months ago, been self teaching on UA-cam. 2 weeks after starting your video for the intro guitar and I’m playing it at tempo with minimal, barely noticeable f ups. Thanks buddy for providing the resources i needed to be able to play one of my favorite songs. Thats 2 weeks and practicing 3-4 days a week for 1 or 2 hours on those days i picked up the guitar.
im 13 and when i started guitar i couldn't find someone with songs that were my style and relevant to me. take note that i started playing 2 something months ago. anyways all i did was watch this guy because he makes self explanatory videos but also makes sure u know what to do. hes clear about everything. i have watched him for learning songs and now i know the chords and the easiest ways to play them
Great video, bringing back some great memories. 1992 was my first year in University, and had been learning the guitar for just over 3 years. I remember learning "Alive" fondly along with a load of other Seattle classics. Riffs I personally would have included are Love Rears Up Its Ugly Head by Living Colour, and two Soundgarden ones : Limo Wreck and Fresh Tendrils (although I'd include most, if not all, of the album Superunknown!
Great list, just wish there could've been some honorable mentions. Too many good riffs in the 90s! 1) Spoonman - Soundgarden 2) Man in the Box - Alice in Chains 3) Rise - Pantera 4) Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
One of the first times I have watched a Top Ten video and 100% agreed with every choice on the list. Every song impacted the 90’s in there own way, great list Marty
Very few youtube vids made me feel like this, "i can relate" doesn't make half the job, this is yet another level, thank you so much man, I wish I could tell you how good this vid of yours made me feel, I just don't know how, thank you.
Erm... 2 views! First ish! You are totally speaking my language Marty, specially your bit about rhcp. It encapsulated that whole period. And why we'll never see those days again. It was too perfect for this world
I started playing my freshman year of college too! Last year! That makes me feel so much better knowing I’m the same as Marty, since he has taught me most of everything I know! :’)
Marty, you're great man! I really enjoyed listening to your memories on these tunes as I remember them in a similar way. Been watching your videos for years and am very thankful for everything you share! Cheers
"And I forget just what it takes, and yet I guess it makes me smile. I've found it hard, it's hard to find, oh well whatever, Nevermind" - The 90's ;-)
Marty, you are easily the best teacher on UA-cam. I’ve learned so much on guitar in such a short amount of time, thanks to your videos. Screw those ads that say you can’t really learn guitar from UA-cam. Keep rocking, Marty, and thank you!
My top 10 favorite 90s riffs 1. Man on a mission - Van Halen 2. Killing in the name of - rage against the machine 3. Even flow - Pearl Jam 4. Always on the run - Lenny kravitz 5. Amsterdam - Van Halen 6. Possum kingdom - toadies 7. Civil war - Guns N’ Roses 8. In bloom - nirvana 9. Top of the world - Van Halen 10. Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
I'm Travis I'm 9 years old and have been playing guitar for 3 years I started watching your videos about 6 months ago And it's helped me so much I hope one day I can be as good as You on guitar p.s Thanks for the videos
Marty you are the best, after almost 30 years of not playing guitar, I am trying to get back into it and your lessons are very easy to learn, please do not stop!!!
How’s it feel to know these songs are 30 years old now lol smh When I think of 30 years ago, I still think of the 60s and 70s. To know the 90s was 30 years ago is pretty mind blowing to me haha i was born in 85 and I swear the 90s feel just like yesterday but also so far away behind us. It’s comical to think that in the 80s and 90s ppl was dying to get to the future. We just couldn’t wait to see the future. Well now the future is finally here and we are dying to go back in time to much simpler days.
This is what im talking about Marty... Kids today have no clue what music was like in the 90's... Nirvana unplugged one of my top 5 albums of all time... great video man!
Don MacLellan they also don’t know what it’s like having to skip school on a Tuesday just to wait at media player or Best Buy etc for hours just to buy your fav bands new album that came out. Or how we wasn’t able to find out things about bands. If we wanted to listen to new music we had to buy it and take it home and listen to it lol Or the awesome album art and lyrics inside the booklet lol Yea kids are missing out on a lot these
niceboi 4 2 0 most likely man! Check out his channel and type it in the search and you will be surprised how many songs he has dude! Really amazing selection! Unbelievable really.
I’m 35. I remember going to Sam Goody back in the day to buy all my CD’s and posters and all that cool shit. Also, love your videos man. Just started playing guitar few months ago and thanks to you I’m already able to play a few of my favorite songs!! Your the man Marty.
Hey Marty, I've been playing guitar for two years now and i have made incredible progress. I learn by ear now but I started by watching your videos, and in fact, I learned my first song, Purple Haze, by watching your video at school and writing the tabs and coming home and playing it. Thanks a ton Marty
So ill address the elephant in the room, are we gonna get a top ten riffs of the 2000’s or 2010’s? Love the story behind each one too! The dr evil lazer reference killed me😂😂😂
Hey Marty, idk if you are on TikTok (I don’t think you are) but the guitar community there LOVES you, I see videos all the time on there where people talk about how they just learned a song from you and they want to share it. Or people making jokes about you being our collective teacher. You should get on there I think you would have a warm welcome
Pearl Jam story reminded me of walking into a bar in Honolulu in 1979. Band was tearing up the place and I was wondering who the idiot wearing the English school boy suit was. First time I ever saw or heard of AC/DC. Like your vid.
Whaddup Marty!!! Thanks for hanging out doing the quarantine shuffle. Currently home practicing my chords you taught me because me and my coworkers were exposed to covid. Luckily your lessons keep me busy. Thanks brother....SHRED!!
Beck "was one of the first independent kind of artists where he made the music on his own"? Dude, every hear of Boston? Tom Scholz? Love your stuff, Marty. Keep it up!
Your story about seeing the concert and not knowing them and loving it all is similar to the wbcn river rave and sevendust. I never heard them before but was completely floored by how awesome they sounded
Had to stop the video and look up your lesson on “are you gonna go My way” I reckon We are of a similar age as this tune was massive just after I left school even for non rockers.
WOOOWWWW first time I see a video on the same day that it was released and what a great videoooo!!! Thank you so much for all the content you share Marty! greetings from Quarantined Bolivia!!!
Hi Marty. I learned how to play many of my favorite songs from your videos when I was a teen. I stopped playing guitar about 6 years ago. I'm glad to be back with your lessons again!
Love this Marty! The wee stories along with each song are so spot on. I’m 40 now, so the 90s really resonate with me more than any other era. It was an amazing time for music and although there’s more access to music than ever now, I really miss those days of saving up for CDs and discovering new bands and albums “the long way” 😂. 🤘🏻🏴
Wow, I just love these videos when you share your personal experience being there in those concerts absolutely priceless.Personally I like your videos because I can feel the music that you are teaching , that being said, with these kind of videos I can understand from where that comes from, because I grew up in the 9-ties and it’s mostly how I feel about that era ... Please do more of these kind of videos, I would like to here more from you !
I love your Channel Marty, I learned my first song off of your lessons. I have a song request for your next song, it is Holy Wars, by Megadeth. Thanks Marty.
Marty, I'm sorry, but you did forgot Soundgarden and Temple of the dog.... The nineties, man. Great decade with serious music in highschool. What a time! Realising.... I'm getting old. hahaha
Fr I was hurt by this. I am obsessed with anything related to Alice in Chains. Cried my ass off when layne died. Mad Season should be featured in this channel. One album, but it has to be in my all time top 10.
Stone Temple Pilots, under the name Mighty Joe Young were a band in San Diego since 1987. The song "Plush" has been written and performed 3 years before Pearl Jam even formed in Seattle.

Damn... You are so lucky to have seen Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam and Nirvana all on one night! That actually blows my mind...
literally a dream concert
I've had a few dream concerts like that. One was the Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age on the same bill.
ClarkyGuitar foo fighters and Queens of stoneage suck so bad

Hi Marty, My name is Hunter and I am 15. I live in a small town with my family and a guitar. Every thing I know is because of you being such a great teacher and inspiring me to push my self to become better as a player. I hope some day I will be able to meet you in person so we can rock out!!! Great video, keep them coming!
Im 15 and play guitar too! He's helped me so much!
Maine Fish Hunter ! I’m 25 and he has done the same for me! Seriously the best teacher out there
I’m also 15 and play guitar! Marty helped me learn my first song :)
@@scaredycat8685 I agree completely!
Dude that's actually how I started to learn is by marty he is really cool and funny when he wants to be
This is probably the closest best 90s guitar riffs to my personal opinion that I have yet to see! I’m 16 and absolutely love everything 90s alternative especially the chili peppers! Love this list! Thanks Marty!
Check out Bush, Stone temple pilots and Alice in chains they're also very good.
Being that I was 16 in 1997...I'll say it's damn near perfect but Kravitz needs to be higher and STP was great
90s was a good time to grow up
Jason Salts I’ve listened to all of them for a while and they are all great bands! I also really enjoy Janes addiction
Man in a box is actually one of my top ten favorite songs I’d say
My mom first taught me La Bamba and Song Sung Blue in 1989 when I was 14, then Kurt inspired me in 1991 to expand into grunge and beyond. Yes I was 16 when Nevermind came out, that was an amazing time in music and I feel lucky to have experienced it in real time 😊
Marty, I really appreciate the personal touch you give to these top 10 lists. Knowing how an artist I really respect felt when first hearing these songs is so insightful and great. "You are who you were when", as a sociologist once said, and that applies especially to the music we love. I grew up in the 60's/70's era, and I can remember sitting in my dad's car in Berkley, MI, while he went into a store for a minute. He left the AM radio on (even before the days of FM). The Doors came on playing "Light My Fire". As far as I know, that is the very first rock song I had ever heard. My mom and dad were more into country western (Hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin') and folk (Green, green, it's green they say on the far side of the hill). I would listen to the radio for hours just waiting to hear that song again. (I was too young, and we were too poor, to have money to buy a 45 RPM record, back then.)
RHCP, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. WOW! that's simply amazing
Kurt Cobain: RIP
Layne Staley: RIP
Chris Cornell: RIP
Eddie Vetter: Hey, oooh, I’m still alive!!!
Scotty Valero It’s Staley, but yeah. Amen.
Tyler Brittan thanks bro. Gotta love autocorrect right lol

One of my favorite riffs from the 90’s is definitely Everlong by the Foo’s
The lack of Alice in Chains or Soundgarden makes me sad.
I absolutely love these videos! Showing justice to all the eras that define it musically!

what about the favorite 60`s Riffs?
Luis Lerch eight miles high by the byrds 😎
I would watch a favorite 50s riffs video just to see Johnny b Goode
21st century schizoid man!!!
I think Marty and I graduated around the same time. I remember when BSSM came out. I remember being blown away by that entire album. Such a powerful album for me.

I forgot another one I'd add : Cherub Rock
From one of my all-time favorite albums. Played the hell out of that disc!
Yessss! Such an underrated song!
Yeah, I was surprised it wasn't on the list. Love that song!
it’s so awesome to hear someone who’s taught and been an inspiration for so many people talk about these moments of immense inspiration for himself and take us on a trip back to how things were when he was younger, for me I’m now a freshman in college realizing I’m gonna be looking back on my experiences right now and it’s up to me to make sure that when I look back I’m happy and proud of what I did in these moments
I love that you used the baby blue for Tom Morello's riff. Such a great video Papa Marty
Wow! Fantastic video and breakdown of the songs, and well as the personal insight into what these songs meant to you! Thank you for sharing this with us. I REALLY enjoyed it!
The early to mid 90s had some of the best music, period. Even surf rock had a great resurgence during that time.
Andy you’re the man. Simple easy to understand tutorials. Picked up a guitar for the first time couple months ago, been self teaching on UA-cam. 2 weeks after starting your video for the intro guitar and I’m playing it at tempo with minimal, barely noticeable f ups.

"So I made a big mistake, try to see it once my way!" - Marty after not including "Would?"
Man in the box would've been better for the topic of the video. Although I like Would much better man it the box is probably their most notable riff.
This is his favorite 90s riffs, not the best 90s riffs overall.
Great video, bringing back some great memories. 1992 was my first year in University, and had been learning the guitar for just over 3 years. I remember learning "Alive" fondly along with a load of other Seattle classics.

1) Spoonman - Soundgarden
2) Man in the Box - Alice in Chains
3) Rise - Pantera

The riffs are great, but I enjoy the "why" just as much. Please keep doing what you're doing!

This part of "we" wasn't expecting it at all. In fact, we were sure it would be intentionally left off.
Nirvana was proof that most people will love what they're told to. Half the time he would sing and sound like somebody was stepping on his tail.
TheMacocko that’s just called being raw
Creenge He had a unique timber but I can’t listen to an album. When he screams and his voice flips into falsetto... totally turnoff
Loved Kurt Cobain's broken perfect imperfect voice...will always be my favorite of all time...then Chilli Peppers ...and Blind Melon
I’m 35. I remember going to Sam Goody back in the day to buy all my CD’s and posters and all that cool shit. Also, love your videos man. Just started playing guitar few months ago and thanks to you I’m already able to play a few of my favorite songs!! Your the man Marty.
How you gonna do the chili peppers like that?! You played the vocal melody instead of Johns legendary chord progression!!! Never been so let down
I was looking for this comment! Thank you!
@@trevvrun same
I'm not sure, but could it have to do with copyright? He did change the vocal melody a bit, so I wonder if that had any effect.
I came here to say this too
It's a copyright issue, he can't
Hey Marty, I've been playing guitar for two years now and i have made incredible progress. I learn by ear now but I started by watching your videos, and in fact, I learned my first song, Purple Haze, by watching your video at school and writing the tabs and coming home and playing it. Thanks a ton Marty
So ill address the elephant in the room, are we gonna get a top ten riffs of the 2000’s or 2010’s? Love the story behind each one too! The dr evil lazer reference killed me😂😂😂
songs from by the way and stadium arcadium also
Hey Marty, idk if you are on TikTok (I don’t think you are) but the guitar community there LOVES you, I see videos all the time on there where people talk about how they just learned a song from you and they want to share it. Or people making jokes about you being our collective teacher. You should get on there I think you would have a warm welcome
I am super jealous Marty got to see Nirvana live!!
What lovely years '90s .. every day MTV came out with a new great rock song..Marty bring that period back
Pearl Jam story reminded me of walking into a bar in Honolulu in 1979. Band was tearing up the place and I was wondering who the idiot wearing the English school boy suit was. First time I ever saw or heard of AC/DC. Like your vid.
Started playing guitar in ‘91, because of this music (plus a few more) , serious nostalgia for me here
When the first thing you hear is Green Day y’know it’s going to be a great video
Shadez green day is a pice of shit, mate
@@user-rj5uj8cc4f Why?
Jack O'Meara because that pop “punk” sounds like what 12 year old boys be listening in school.
J relax mate
@@user-rj5uj8cc4f isn't music about the personal opinion?
Whaddup Marty!!! Thanks for hanging out doing the quarantine shuffle. Currently home practicing my chords you taught me because me and my coworkers were exposed to covid. Luckily your lessons keep me busy. Thanks brother....SHRED!!
Will you ever finish all along the watchtower? Been watching the other tutorials recently
Love Sandberg lol I’m waiting on the last solo too
Beck "was one of the first independent kind of artists where he made the music on his own"? Dude, every hear of Boston? Tom Scholz? Love your stuff, Marty. Keep it up!
The Seattle Sound is legendary
Your story about seeing the concert and not knowing them and loving it all is similar to the wbcn river rave and sevendust. I never heard them before but was completely floored by how awesome they sounded
My fav 90s riff is whatever was on the radio when i popped out in 1990

@@pallecla lets kick it!!! Lmao
So glad you’re on UA-cam Marty. Big fan and new guitar player
I was hoping Nirvana was #1….of course, Marty didn’t disappoint…..Nirvana got me playing guitar. Great video!
Marty, didn’t realize you were that old!! 90s feel like yesterday and it’s been 20 years.
Had to stop the video and look up your lesson on “are you gonna go My way” I reckon We are of a similar age as this tune was massive just after I left school even for non rockers.
Top 3 favorite riffs from the 90s intro
0:00 When I come around
0:10 Smells like teen spirit
0:26 killing in the name of
I’m probably the only one who didn’t think Scot Weiland was copying Eddie Vedder.
WOOOWWWW first time I see a video on the same day that it was released and what a great videoooo!!! Thank you so much for all the content you share Marty! greetings from Quarantined Bolivia!!!
Hey Marty, which are your top 10 RHCP songs? Would be another cool video ;)
What's your top 10 rhcp songs.
My top 5 in no order
1. I could have lied
2. Under the bridge
3. Otherside
4. Scar tissue
5. Dani California
I love how the guitar sounds when he plays “When I come around” by Green Day 4:38
marty! do best movie riffs
Hi Marty. I learned how to play many of my favorite songs from your videos when I was a teen. I stopped playing guitar about 6 years ago. I'm glad to be back with your lessons again!
You're the best guitar teacher online
i cant imagine being able to go to a concert and see pearl jam, nirvana, and RHCP in one night that is so awesome !
I would argue that Scar Tissue is RHCP’s most significant riff from the 90s. It was the band’s second coming.
Indeed. The re-birth of the band, the (first) return of John Frusciante.
Oasis Supersonic, Alice In Chains Man in the Box, Foo Fighters Everlong, The Black Crowes Twice as Hard, Smashing Pumpkins Today.
Also I probably would've thrown in Alice in Chains, you can't talk 90s without throwing them in the mix
Sheer masterclass
Love this Marty! The wee stories along with each song are so spot on. I’m 40 now, so the 90s really resonate with me more than any other era. It was an amazing time for music and although there’s more access to music than ever now, I really miss those days of saving up for CDs and discovering new bands and albums “the long way” 😂. 🤘🏻🏴
Marty great video! Please do a lesson on Guns N' Roses - Youre Crazy, theres no lesson of it!
Wow, I just love these videos when you share your personal experience being there in those concerts absolutely priceless.Personally I like your videos because I can feel the music that you are teaching , that being said, with these kind of videos I can understand from where that comes from, because I grew up in the 9-ties and it’s mostly how I feel about that era ... Please do more of these kind of videos, I would like to here more from you !
Scott weiland is being himself.. Hes unique in his own way
90s rocked! I started playing guitar in 1995!
I love your Channel Marty, I learned my first song off of your lessons. I have a song request for your next song, it is Holy Wars, by Megadeth. Thanks Marty.
Marty, I'm sorry, but you did forgot Soundgarden and Temple of the dog.... The nineties, man. Great decade with serious music in highschool. What a time! Realising.... I'm getting old. hahaha
Really disappointed Alice In Chains wasn’t on the list. They was a huge part of the 90’s with countless amazing riffs.
Its just his favorite, nothing objective.
Fr Cantrell's nickname is "The Riff Lord" but it's his preference. He doesn't look like a Chains fan not many people are. Fuck em AiC is legendary
He probably can't play the riffs
Fr I was hurt by this. I am obsessed with anything related to Alice in Chains. Cried my ass off when layne died. Mad Season should be featured in this channel. One album, but it has to be in my all time top 10.
@@kilgoretrout321 nah this man can play anything
Thanks for sharing, I graduated high school is 1993 and this was the music of my youth :) Man where does the time go??...
20:22- 20:54 when you realize you are just a beginner
Stone Temple Pilots, under the name Mighty Joe Young were a band in San Diego since 1987. The song "Plush" has been written and performed 3 years before Pearl Jam even formed in Seattle.
Please do some terrorvision i can't find them anywhere. Keep up the good work !
Dang Marty Mart you a OG for real you bringing bacc good memories
