Now you can thank me :) Thumbs up this comment for everyone.
Thank you
Thank you
Was wondering why Arctic Monkeys didnt make the list but then I saw that this video was from 2012, before AM came out in 2013, when the Monkeys where still relatively unknown in the US
Thank you 😅
Not a single Quo riff? Missing out there.
The most impressive part is that he could still do sultans of swing after 40 other riffs beforehand
for real
"Oh, you play the guitar? What songs can you play?"
"All of them."
Ya
Its the comments with this stupid fucking semicolon bullshit that isn't funny, that's gonna be what pushes me over and shoot my dog.
even 'smoke on the water'
@@gillianross7225 excuse me what the fuck
@@gillianross7225 where's this semi colon that you speak of?
When you're scrolling through guitar hero's music list
The perfect description of this video
Exactly
😂😂
Pretty accurate
Greatest comment I’ve ever seen in my life 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm very impressed that he managed to play smoke on the water.
😂😂😂😂
My first riff was Wipe Out. I was pleasantly surprised it was included.
The quick-change to Drop D at 6:38 was damn impressive.
More like d sharp.
He would tell you that it was no big deal, just a little inconvenient.
The kid in your class that only learns the intro to songs:
So you’re talking about me huh
AmateurCasual Bryan so me
no one said anything about you two dipshits go play your intros somewhere else
AmateurCasual Bryan THATS ME OMG
you just described a good 70% of guitarists.
*I don’t know what more impressive, that he can play all these riffs or he remembered 100 riffs in order for this video*
I was thinking the same thing😂
YEP
I imagine he probably has a word document open on a laptop sitting in front of him telling him which order to play the songs in... that’s just a guess though
The shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory
He has noted everything in a copy that he is looking 😂😂😂
12 years later and still one of the most satisfying videos on the internet.
everyone talking about how good he is at playing the guitar, but nobody talking about how his foot switch skills are off the charts
he probably had one preset for every riff on a multi fx and cycled thorugh - still nicely done though!
@@SamyDeluxeFan1993 There's videos where he teaches some of the riffs, and showcases the pedal board he used. Impressively enough, it really was about his foot switch skill.
Also @7:42 you can notice the moment he switched the fuzz on for the Cliffs of Dover riff.
Oh you like music?
Name every song
This guy: sure
His name is alex
AntGaming2007 r/woosh
@@JaysBlue r/im14andthisiswoooosh
@@JaysBlue notawhoosh, he was saying that the guy's name was alex to inform him
No one can name every song
The guitar went outside and smoked a cigarette after this.
And the amp was smoking half way through
LOL! What do you mean?
I mean it all happened after he played smoke on the water 🙌
And then took a giant greasy dump
@CyberSlice Hahahahahahahahaha yes you are right.
I remember first seeing this video 7 years ago when I started playing electric guitar... Had a massive impact on me.. Great job!!!
Welcome back!
Yes, it also made me want to buy guitars and gear I can’t afford. Thank you, Chicago music exchange!
What is even more impressive is that he changes tuning to drop D on the run. Impressive!!
The worst part about it is when you recognize a part and it ends before you can get into it
Watch kfir ochaion guitar covers he's the best guitarist I have seen on UA-cam
That was the best part for me.
@@gerardjackson4104 so I guess you haven't seen Rob Chapman
ZennyBot he had to fit it in one video so you can’t change that
26 was the teaser one for me
The most impressive part is that he did this in one continuous take. If he messed up one riff he’d have to restart.
No shit Sherlock.
He did very slightly mess up on thunderstruck but he recovered very quickly
@@fabianreah1708 Nice one, Fabian
explain the changes of sound from the guitar, it must be a pedal
Nice
Knowing that many riffs is one thing. Being able to switch gears and have "the feel" of each come through is quite another. You should most certainly do session work if that sort of thing interests you. Thank you so much for bringing some funky jams to my normally quiet campsite just before dark.
3:02 tonight: I play 100 different guitar riffs, James plays the top gear intro on a piano and Richard smashes a drum set.
It's tradition to come back to this video every so often
Everytime I see it in my recommenders I click
I seen this video first time in 2014 , and ever since...
I must’ve watched this 20 times over the years, used to be great before the ads started interrupting halfway through videos, making UA-cam virtually unwatchable.
@@theauldscientist Here's a trick for you, skip to the end of the video and then replay it. It gets rid of all the ads, or most of them

"how to get banned from a guitar store"
Jfr Films that’s not the title of this video
@@idontgetjokes1918 username checks out
Jfr Films no I don’t think he plays stairway to heaven
@@matthewreese7710 its riffs not intro's
Yur dumb
6:36 The fastest drop D tuner in the west
thats almost more impressive then playing all the songs lol
Me who still uses a tuner 👁👄👁
definitely had that one pre marked but it's still darn impressive
Geez ! I was just thinking the same thing !
Dropped it like it was hot, then picks up a slide lol
I started playing guitar at 14 when I joined my highschool guitar class, I remember watching this video countless times to the point where I can still remember the exact riffs one after another
It is now 7 years later and I am almost finished with college and am about to pursue my dream of becoming a career pilot, time really does fly, but I will always remember those highschool days of practicing guitar and coming back to this video
This is such an iconic medley. I keep coming back to it.
Remembered 100 riffs, played them note perfectly, had smooth transitions and selected the right pedal every time flawlessly. That was impressive.
Evan Jones imagine messing up the last song
im pretty sure there were a couple hard to see jump cuts here and there but idk
Zach Semler instead of just saying that, how about you actually link the jump cuts
Very impressive...but can you... oh... wrong channel)
Julian McOmie wasnt thinking of it at the time im also too lazy to look throught the entire video
Who else comes here, watches the vid, picks out a song. Gos and learns it, then comes back here to pick a new one, over and over again. I’ve watched this vid 15 times to pick out a song so far
THIS IS HOW I STARTED GUITAR
Gitaur is yeas I plai
This video drove me to start playing 😂
Exactly!!! It's litterally the library of songs to learn
yea i agree
Great playing, great tones, cool guitar, excellent choices, all in one take.
This is unbelievably impressive.
Legendary video!! Still has me coming back, checking it out. And the tone is truely unique in way, but also encapsulates all of the classic vibes. Really impressive considering the drive stage consists of a TubeScreamer and a JHS Foot Fuzz into a low powered tweed. 👍👍👍
Why is everybody making such a big deal over what he DIDN'T play? This was a delight.
THANK YOU!
Rebornblader he forgot freebird XD
Rebornblader Yea lol, also, 8:48 made me die! Sorry, I just love Rage Against the Machine.
Rebornblader I agree! Because it's very difficult to play 100 different riffs/part of songs in just 12 minutes. And that was great!
Rebornblader people always want a reason to complain :P
This guy learned 100 different riffs, played them perfectly, changed tuning in between songs like it's nothing. My man just built different
Love your profile pic
We basically hav the same profile pic nice dude 🤘🏼
@@zyclose8653 🤘🤘
Sigma found
To be fair, he did some riffs really dirty.
Imagine playing the 100 riffs in 12 mins and synching those 100 riffs to video time🙏 My man can do anything!! Respect
One of the most impressive guitar videos I’ve seen. The fact that there was a change to drop D, slide etc. is so cool.
Imagine if he did all of that and forgot to press the record button on the camera
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Stolen comment
Shut the fuck up
Plot twist: THIS IS AFTER THAT HAPPENED
Lol
The transition from Sweet Home Alabama to Walk This Way had no right to work that well
miserlou to wipeout was also smooth
I like how walk this way is suggesting incest lol
Literally read this as it played lmfao
The_Honkler ikr
I’m glad im not the only one that thought this lmao.
Watched this video several times when it was launched on YT... every now and then I come back here to listen again, and everytime I listen to one of these songs I immediately think on the next riff and feel obligated to come back here and listen to it again... lol this have such a huge impact on the guitar community.
Wow. This was a very impressive display of versatility, timing and keeping the vibe for each of these songs. Even effects were awfully close
🤘🤘🤘
this video completely validates the existence of UA-cam all on its own.
fully agree
This is gonna be a quote XD
bloodisnotblue ccr
bloodisnotblue not right now lol
bloodisnotblue I'm the 500 the like on ur comment
I was 13 years old when I first came across this video. I sat there with my mouth open and admired how cool Alex plays all these riffs. Now I'm 21, I've been playing guitar for 6 years, but I still admire this video.
Hey Alex -
I know it’s 10 years later but in case you occasionally check comments:
I particularly like your ordering so that keys make great sense and your interesting transitions when key changes come. Great composition!
The ‘editing,’ that is, where you chose to get into and out of riffs was great, consistently interesting and occasionally surprising. Fun!
Your use of effects was great and your non-Strat tones were very good. Your pickup switching was flawless. I think many beginning and intermediate guitarists don’t spend enough time practicing the tech side of effect/setting/pickup changes. You certainly do.
The added bass notes in Satisfaction were very nice; your SRV tone was great; thanks for picking Thunderstruck instead of legatoing it; the switch to slide in Seven Nations Army was slick. A pleasant time is guaranteed for all.
Every time he started a new riff I didn’t want him to stop.
cute

@@Biscuits2 because in a comment section you can press the timestamp and directly go to the part, no need to be rude
What this guy is doing in this video is exactly what I do anytime I play my guitar: constantly changing riffs after ten seconds of playing. I can't stick to learing one song without getting bored with it or figuring out the song gets harder further in.
I always make sure I watch this video once a month to see him playing all those riffs. So good I could never.
“i got blisters on me fingas”
He surely is a *starr*
Y E S
True beatles fan
What is that from
@@pacenrdizzy Ringo says it at the end of Helter Skelter
Dude changed the tuning in between playing like it's nothing 😶
(in-between a riff)
I am speed
Am... not really, because some of us may cant tune guitar by ear and they don't know to do that fast, like someone like me :D
its not that hard actually, going from standard to drop tuning, just got to remember position of a E string tuner knob for standard and drop tuning
Muscle memory...
Jeez, coming from Mozart that means alot
This man is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs
looks like a copy :/
I watch this whenever i feel down, and its honestly helped me
3:09 the all new Ford F150...
STOP😂
only the best in texas
Bruh no
soapy crusader true
The wind in my hair...
Dropping the E to D and bringing it back several times perfectly in tune is easily the most impressive part of this whole video.
Josh McLean man I've been watching this video for some while and I've never payed attention to it, damn, that's dope!
I belive that the most impressive thing in this video is...the video😃
Josh McLean This is gospel!
He tuned the guitar so that it would be easy to turn while playing. If you notice the D has the tuning peg roughly perpendicular to the headstock and the E is roughly parallel. Easy to quickly retune like that
Agreed.
okay but the transition from miserlou to wipeout to day tripper is actually so clean
I saw this video 3 months when it was uploaded here in YT and even downloaded it on my laptop. Now 9 years old and currently in a pandemic and still watching it. 🤘
3 years ago, this video made me wanna pick up a guitar for the very first time. Last night I played my first gig. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😁
George Brindley congrats
Wow
how’d the gig go?!?!
sweet!
Ml
3:23 that transition from sweet home Alabama to walk this way though
The V Club my 2 favorite songs
That was awesome
Does your name mean the Virgin club?
Christ above that was insane
cellphone96 no it means vegetarian club
smoothest transition ever: 3:24
I remember watching this video knowing nothing about guitar, now 1 year later I can play like a quarter of these riffs. So inspiring!
I honestly can't understand why anyone who plays guitar or enjoys others playing it could give this a thumbs down. What a wonderfully executed medley. He must have spend hours working it out
Some people are just butthurt that he didn't include their favourite song/band in the video
Must be reggaeton lovers.
either disliked to be contrarians or because a song they liked wasn't included is my guess.
every youtube video has dislikes, people need to get over it with comments like these
@@astridkjellberg but 10k seems like an awful lot for such a great presentation
3:48 Sounds exactly like the original recording
Cyber Wizard Nah. Needs more cowbell.
@@TheAndersDanilet I see you are also a man of culture.
I know! Little heavy on the dirt though
Anders Danilet Ah yes, the cowbell.
I’VE GOT A FEVER
AND THE ONLY CURE IS
MORE COWBELL!
When this video went off I was just a kid. I learned a lot of songs from it, that I keep hearing now. Thks a lot. Hugs from Brazil
Awesome work! Thoroughly enjoyed hearing iconic riffs played in one take.
Sounds like the spotify 'road trip' playlist.
Bruhhh u right
Classic Rock basically
666th like
Leonardo Maslać cursed comment
@@nslouka90 it's classic rock up until around the upper 60s out of 100, then it becomes grunge and post grunge basically. But for the most part youre right
"Hey can you pla-"
"Yes"
Almost 10 years later, and still love this video!!!
So I started playing guitar at the age of about 10. I'm now 23 but this video changed everything for me. So many riffs I learned and music I discovered just from this guys upload around the same time I was getting properly into it. So to you guys at the CME I can't thank you enough
I liked the part when he played the guitar
What, you don't like his voice? >:/
Umm actually its a piano
Can tell you watch Pewdiepie video
Why is everyone changing their profile pic to that
Thanos The Mad Titan its litty committee
Anyone else keep coming back to this vid?
Charles Smith yeah
Charles Smith mhm this is like my 5th time watching it
I’ve watched dis in school so many times
yes
no, dippshit
10 years ago i watched this video and bought my guitar. i heard only 4 songs of the list, and didnt know how to play, now i can play every riff here, and love most of this songs, this is the most influential youtube video in my life, thanks a lot, im speachless (sory for my bad english im from russia)
Even after ten years and countless rewatches this still blows my mind.
Teacher: Can you play Guitar?
chicagomusicexchange: *yes*
Teacher: Which rock riffs can you play?
chicacomusicexchange: *yes*
HyeNa _ This comment is beautiful.
@@cdiek1995 Yes
That's such a roundabout conversation
echt114 yes
HyeNa _ ALL
7:55 that distorted Wah is amazing
i was waiting for this comment
7:54
I really appreciate the love for riffs from the 2000s. There is tons of under appreciated rock songs from the 2000s
Great compilation. Thank you for sharing
This guys transitioning is flawless
as if the transitions are difficult and we all should be amazed.
shbmusic fuck you. Just plain fuck you.
Imagine he messed up at 99
Let's be honest, if he messed up, would we even notice?
@@TheGaberGuy Yes...?
“Ahh shit we gotta go bald“
@@nboutdoors3571 *Crying noises*
maybe he did and they had to record it all over again, we’ll never know
Absolutely amazing! I love how you got great humbucker level tones from a strat single coil!
The tone is bliss omg.
I uh, I can play a d cord
Rattlesnake Zack
I️ can play Em.
got me beat lol. i can do power chords, but no full chords. fat fingers.
Good start
Don't worry, literally all of this should be some of the easiest stuff you could ever play after playing for a few months
Rattlesnake Zack I can play G-D-Em-C
Me: So what riffs can you play?
Alex: *Yes*
Iron maiden riffs?
Him:
Scorpions riffs?
Him:
Literally.
Yep
For some reason when he played pride and joy, it made my jaw drop, he even included all the little intricate SRV fretting and strumming pattern was just perfect. Awesome video
Yeah for some reason that riff sounds wayyy easier than it actually is
Best sounding strat I ever heard. Beautiful and great playing. Thank you very much for that video guys. Ah I want that guitar 🖤🖤🖤🖤
The transition from Sweet Hone Alabama to Walk This Way is great!
I thought that! Genius ;)
I think he should've played more of sweet home Alabama
+Trumpet Guy yea me too
Sweet Home Alabama is overplayed. What about songs like Freebird or Simple Man?
Finneyyy Simple man is also overplayed
That tone for Don't fear the reaper was almost spot on
***** ya man i love this guy
***** i agree, not enough cowbell though..
+Sindre Berstad i got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell
+Sindre Berstad i got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell
+Sindre Berstad its the only prescription;)
Perfect! Nothing but music! No TLDR explanations, easily searchable! The best!
great job. its surprising how quick I picked up on the track from the rifts they are so iconic and so well known to rock fans
Massive respect for this video - we've all sat here talking about how many takes this must have taken. And to do it all in one take too!! You have got skills man!! If you ever move to England & want a job..... !!!
💛💙💜💚❤💗💓
Andertons Music Co how about if I wanted a job?
I want a job too 😂
Andertons Music Co lay
he's a super nice guy too. i bought a taylor 12 string from him, that i can barely play.
2:48 sounds impossible
😂
right! how did he even do that, like, walk this way was... alright, but **smoke on the water tho**
it would have been better if he played it right. BOTH STRINGS TOGETHER, not strummed.
Tim Oliver think the word you are looking for is “plucked” and you are certainly right
Pupseal 115 that’s like the first one I learned when I was 5 I’m 15 now😂
9 years ago?? How did I miss this - incredible stuff!!
This kinda makes me wanna cry. It reminds me of my childhood, playing Rock Band and Guitar Hero.
2:48 how the guitar store sounds all day.
Sergio Alcantara nope, it’s stairway to heaven
Smells like teen spirit
checks out
Except for 0-3-5

@@buzzoyun even so he played runnin’ with the devil and hot for teacher
@@jakeccowburn you re right. It was just the first thing came to my mind
@@buzzoyun Eddie Van Halen man
I’ve got nothing but love and massive respect for you!
Everything sounded fricking perfect 😍🔥
10 years later still rewatching this; amazing!
You can’t tell me that’s not the smoothest transition
0:57
nah 3:24-3:26 is the smoothest transition in history
I agree
Just tale a look at megadeth's show at Italy where they did a "medley",see the transition from "the conjuring "to "wake up dead". So flawless
8:35-8:36
8:35-8:36
Sorry bout the views man I watched this about 21 mil times
H BOMB 0803 Samee!!
Daishawn Maingot It's just so f***** awesome.
H BOMB 0803 agreed how can someone put a dislike on this?
Millennials. Maybe.
wolfman081298 those are all the rapper people
This was the reason I learned guitar. after all these years thank you. I am now in bands and about to go to college for music.❤
This clip is a good motto for the Rock'n Roll Bible.
