    I'd like to do more parts and make this a series since I can't fit every great riff in one video, so make sure to leave your favorite riffs ever in the comments to see if it will make the cut for Part 2! Keep shreddin'. - Tyler

      I lay my whole index finger (left hand) across the strings to mute it. Then i use my other 3 fingers (Middle, ring, and pinky) to play the notes. Makes sure to not put any pressure on the strings with your index finger, just a tad.

      All GnR riffs are brilliant.

      Also a lot of Slash's other bands (Snakepit, SMKC, Velvet Revolver) have some great riffs like Slither (One of the best riffs of all time IMO), Let It Roll, Speed Parade, Shadow Life, Beneath The Savage Sun.

      I agree with your bent toward the heavier metal. Lamb of God probably deserves some rep on most "best riffs ever written" lists. Just pick a riff from 11th Hour at random.
      The refrain, in particular, is god-tier (copy/paste, bc hyperlinking timestamps isn't working):

    The Ocean, by favorite Zep riff, and rarely in these lists. And Funk 49. Another thing, listening to a bunch of Tom Petty over the last week, I'm struck by how unappreciated Mike Campbell is. The man has an uncanny ability to create killer guitar parts that served the song perfectly.

    I never thought you’d ask. Since this is going to be an 82 part series, we need to get started pronto Tonto. I like the length of the video. I like the tribute to the band with the different guitars. Fender for Nirvana, green paint for Green Day. Really impressed with sneaking Collective Soul and Heavy in there. I didn’t know others liked that riff. And Wherever I May Roam was heartwarming to hear. So, Jump, Pananma. Wait, are we really doing this? You jumped the gun on this one didn’t cha? You didn’t know what you were getting yourself into when you took on this little task. Anything will work. And you play pretty damn good. And that’s why we’ll watch the vids. To hear you play our favorites. Have at it.

      Seeing as how best is completely subjective he could have picked any number of factors to include in his definition. Complexity, catchiness, contribution to the music scene at the time, etc. Hes certainly smart enough to have done that if he wanted to. Instead he just made a click'bate middle of the road video with no real content. I like the guy but I expected more out of him.

      Mr Sam Nice patronizing sarcasm, but he's right. There are plenty of factors one could use for a list, like this, but, instead, he basically just made a video of the riffs from some hit songs he likes. It's a cool video, but it's nothing special, and isn't accurate to the title.

    Excellent choices. Here are some additional songs with riffs I list in my favorites. A very eclectic collection. These are all sounds that to me are instantly recognizable, and defined a segment of the rock genre. The intro's on all of these are powerful - though on "Surfin the Wedge" you have to get to the mid section for the guitar, (Dick Dale defined the surf guitar sound).
    Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
    Drop Dead Legs - Van Halen
    Cult of Personality - Living Color
    La Grange - ZZ Top
    Baracuda - Heart
    Surfin the Wedge - Dick Dale
    Life's been good - Joe Walsh

    Collective Soul is a band I don’t see enough on these lists but there riffs are fire. The riff in Gel I love.

    How do you make each song sound so much like the actual songs? I'm a beginner so I don't know what settings to use on the amp to get each unique sound. Or is it a pedal? Please help. Thank you.
