10 Riffs You NEED An SG For!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Check out when I first got my SG :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmfKk4ieZrR7ftk

[@iansullivan7684]

Thanks for the Greta van fleet 😂👏🙌👌

[@patrickshannon5856]

Sometimes Jimmy page rocked the sg line it sounded great when he did. Something to do with the noisey pick ups in the SG series.

[@nordicomsystems8841]

I just ordered one of those today from AMS, it was on sale for $718 so I snapped up a Cherry model. I also ordered a blank truss rod cover, a vintage Amber switch tip, and a Rhythm/Treble poker chip...although I found out a few hours later that it comes with one of those in the bag :/ I figured this guitar would be a sweet mod platform; I'd like to throw a Bare Knuckle War Pig 90 in the neck and relic it. I just hope it arrives in decent shape, I read a few horror stories in the review sections of some retailers.

[@scrpin9445]

I was expecting it to just alternate between Black Sabbath and AC/DC

[@highlighthell9532]

Angus Young and Tony Iommi, my 2 favorite guitarists of all time

[@glovepro1256]

me too

[@reignvsme]

*plays whole AC/DC discography*

[@gabrielaldwin2331]

A random asshole Black Sabbath*

[@vltprn5820]

Please respect Malcolm and use a Gretsch

[@miguelalejandrogasca78]

Cream*

[@doomer5775]

I've honestly never seen Angus Young play anything that isn't an SG

[@vltprn5820]

Brenton Alexander he played a Gibson 335 cherry and a Gibson l6

[@joeduncan4487]

*_riffs you need a guitar for_*

Riffs that you play

[@angusfenton1094]

Riffs that need to be invented to be played

[@orangederp]

#1-10: ___________ by AC/DC

[@martinhroch344]

My personal favs(not in order, because I love them all) 1. Thunderstruck 2. You Shook Me All Night Long 3. The Jack 4. Down Payment Blues 5. High Voltage 6. Hells Bells 7. Whole Lotta Rosie 8. Let There Be Rock 9. Moneytalks 10. Are You Ready (this riff is close to my heart, so underrated) I didn't include Highway to Hell and Back in Black, because they're overplayed and overrated and I'm just fed up with them.

[@orangederp]

It’s been a while since I checked up on this comment but thanks a ton Rob for my first ever heart!

[@RC32Smiths01]

I was expecting this to be nothing but ACDC riffs haha! Also awesome to see Cream on here. Clapton and the SG go hand in hand!

[@seanoconnor5730]

RC32 ACDC or Black Sabbath 😂

[@RC32Smiths01]

Ahh true indeed my man!

[@JakobSeidl]

People forget that Pete Townshend was an SG player at the height of his career

[@germanacosta3321]

Loved the fact you included GVF at the end made my day👌 Rock on Rob

[@RyanGamesYT]

Nothing better than NIB by Y BLACK SABBATH

[@jeffd7902]

RyanGames but for real, Y BLACK SABBATH?

[@finofire2603]

kkkk i was expectating him only to play AC/DC jajja

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

I thought about it lol

[@WaylonMorley]

AND THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING ZAPPA!

[@TSGYosh]

I like the GVF at the end, very nice.

[@uhuhuhuhuhuh3537]

I'm shocked with their mainstream success.

[@TheSectric]

I dont know why they are on this video. I thought jimmy page was a tele/les paul guy?

[@boss-li4rj]

Sectric you’re just a hater. Be grateful we have rock n roll still around with all this dick and pussy mumble rap

[@eszterjuharos7698]

SG is my all time fav guitar. I’m so happy you mentioned Greta Van Fleet, Jake Kiszka really rocks that SG.

[@jacobgarcia6523]

He better play something from Black Sabbath

[@ernestmiramontes5807]

Can’t imagine playing The Doors without an SG lol.

[@yaboyreege7158]

Everything sounds great man! I’m getting my Gibson SG standard Saturday and I cannot wait. I’ve wanted one for soooooo long

[@Juicexlx]

You managed to put a Zappa's riff in there? +5 pts 👍

[@kennynordieker5653]

Very cool video and you inculded Greta van Fleet that's awesome. Could you please share the amp, settings, etc... you used for Sunshine of your love? Thank you🙏🤘

[@Arfshesaid457]

Thanks for Muffin Man. Any time you want to feature Frank tunes, please succumb to the compulsion.

[@theericwwefan]

I expected the entire video to just be alternating riffs of AC/DC, The Doors, and Sabbath. Fucking awesome you included Zappa and Greta Van Fleet though!

[@celsojunior858]

I love SG's. I have two, a Standard and an Iommi model. Lacked Zeppelin songs, where Page used the double neck SG to play, like Song Remains the same and Stairway to heaven.

[@jltrem]

2:41- Not that you don't sound fine but I believe Robby Krieger used his Les Paul Custom for "Roadhouse Blues".

[@aspiringgame-dev4509]

I didn’t think it would be soon that I would be looking for a new guitar… I literally just got a telecaster and while I love that thing, I now have a appreciation for the SG

[@brockblevins1742]

3:36 “y Black Sabbath”

[@zman2205]

I dunno y black sabbath

[@mattw36]

I finally got my first SG (Gibson 61 standard faded with maestro) and it’s the exact guitar I’ve been unknowingly looking for for so long. Absolutely rips, is super light and easy to manipulate, is very articulate and therefore does ende of break stuff really nicely, looks BAD*SS. Couldn’t be happier

[@jakedean8560]

Yes when the curtain falls! That's so cool seeing GVF in there

[@herc28430]

Man the sound of that guitar is so f......g awesome!! SG's are rock monsters!!! thx.

[@fin1423]

I love the look of the Marshall Origin 50 in the background, but I'm poor so look is all I can do 😂

[@3cardmonty602]

What difference do you feel in the SG vs a LP? Never played an SG.

[@ocassionaljunkieforyou]

Everything it's different, weight, tone, neck. Totaly different guitars

[@DavidRFIT]

Totally different, as already said. SG has more "bite" and aggressive tone in the mids IMO, but doesn't have the huge sound of a good LP.

[@kennynordieker5653]

Less bass, more bite, lightet body, neck feels longer, bigger ability to bend

[@WickedJester77]

totally disagree. Sg is absolutely as massive sounding. if not more

[@kennynordieker5653]

John Gregory I think the tone of an SG is more likely to change than the tone of a LP when you use different Amps, pickups, pedals,....a Les paul sounds very massive on almost everything

[@harrisjon1]

Getting an 2003 SG with moons tomorrow ...man I wish you could give me some tips! Rock on!

[@timothymccune2101]

You had the sound for Sabbath and ACDC for sure . loved the Thunder struck lick, spot on,,,

[@musclemanmitch3380]

Awesome playing.Glad you are enjoying you new guitar.You inspired me to get my sg put and play.

[@patrickshannon5856]

Anything AC DC or sabbath needs sg guitar if you want to nail it exact because it's something to do with they noisey pick ups they have. There's a certain static or fuzz to the pick ups is why. I'm not quite sure why but it's cool with the SG Gibson series of guitars

[@lilgarbage3796]

Its cool that you added some Greta van fleet

[@rhettlila1855]

I was waiting for GVF the whole time and you did not disappoint. Thank you.

[@brendonjwarren]

this video inspires me and makes me want to pick up my SG and start playing those tasty riffs you were playing!! rock on Robert Baker, ROCK ON!!!!

[@Captain-Nostromo]

The Muffin Man 👨

[@mattfitzsimonds9917]

Anyone else notice the second les Paul in the background?👀👀

[@joeduncan4487]

matt fitzsimonds it's a Harley Benton

[@MissAzul2]

Man, lovin those guitar riffs.. "The base of new generation of musicians today" ✌

[@thomopolusrex8436]

Rocking my SG, along with ya.

[@chrisjaybecker]

You could easily include any Soundgarden riff since Kim Thayil played a Guild S-100 which is Guild's version of the SG.

[@torinwade775]

Guild's pickups are a bit brighter, but, yeah.

[@Bigscott4130]

Need some COC in there. Pepper has been playing SG's forever.

[@clutchmasters3402]

First concert was COC drunk pepper took me to meet drunk lemmy. Peps the man.

[@Trifixion22]

COC = Corrosion Of Conformity?

[@Bigscott4130]

@@Trifixion22 Correct Sir.

[@joshuatreat8106]

Strat, LP, and SG, all very cool. When are you gonna get to the "only on a Tele? A "never on a Tele" set would also be cool.

[@Mudder1310]

So happy to see Frank Marino get some love. Mahogany Rush is so good.

[@jedione1904]

love how Sophias head is framed perfectly by the top horn....

[@chrisjaybecker]

Duane Allman used an SG for most of his slide playing, as does his disciple Derek Trucks. The SG is an amazing guitar for slide.

[@elidarnell8007]

waited the entire video just to hear greta

[@Joe_whatuknow]

Awesome stuff Robert. I’m glad you’re liking that SG! And a bit surprised it took you so long to get one.... cuz you know, long hair and rock n roll and stuff.

[@etrivard]

I really enjoyed that ! :) super sweet tone too. How'd you do it... hmmmm?

[@overdrive6687]

What model is this SG? Looks absolutely stunning.

[@Michael-ih2hl]

Nice playin dude. I like that last riff

[@IceRex]

I got really excited when you did thunderstruck

[@usernamev211]

Dang Rob, you've been rockin' that SG for so many videos now ! Glad to see your enjoying it man ! 😁

[@ljgaines8170]

Dude I love the way you play guitar you have to be playing with some band some place if you're not somebody's losing out on a damn good guitar player keep on making him videos really enjoy them

[@Mudder1310]

Love you adding the two Franks (Zappa and Marino).

[@carlbaumeister3439]

Fantastic sound!

[@jdubs78]

Nice SG. I love the matte red. That shirt is killer too!

[@sjsphotog]

What about Iron Man? My 1st guitar I ever got and learned to play on was a Sentinel Gibson SG copy. Still have it today.

[@brucelk19]

Man that sg is growing and growing on me do you like it better than your les Paul? I have a strat I just wanted my next heavier guitar to have trem so I can get my evh on lol but this sg has me reconsidering thoughts everyone.., and is the epiphone sg special with only in tone n one volume week or legit? I like less knobs to mess with but then again I’m not getting a Gibson without block inlays either so might just stepcmy squier game up to fender Jackson or charvel or esp haha I want every guitar and amp ever made

[@sepultura7771]

Bruce Kelly my advice is don’t worry about name brands so much.Find the guitar with the “magic” .It might not be the one you expected.Two same guitar models can come off production line together and sound and play very differently.I have a Yamaha electric i love and wouldn’t trade it for any Les Paul for example

[@brucelk19]

sepultura7771 I agree I love my squier n how it plays n feels could use new pickups n tuners but I love it

[@khoshekh5668]

The main difference between a “high end” Epiphone and a “low end” Gibson is the headstock, so just keep that in mind. But yeah, buy what feels best.

[@collingroat7286]

Check out the Epiphone G-400 pro. I got mine for $300 or so. The $1500 Gibson SG felt a little better finished, but over all I felt didn’t play all that much better. Not worth 5 times the price. It’s a great SG if you’re looking for one.

[@flaminglightsaber7897]

Always pictured sunshine of your love on a tele or a strat

[@davidjfoster2133]

Great list! Could have included one Pete riff from his SG (and jump suit) years.

[@anttik5764]

Lovely list Robert! Would've been great to see some Soundgarden, though, for example in the place of "crossroads" (don't get me wrong, some of my favourite bands/artists are Cream and Eric Clapton).

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

I almost included them but they used Guilds so I decided not to butt Soundgarden rules

[@anttik5764]

Robert Baker I understand, no problem. Rock on! \m/

[@dumbdickler670]

Didn't Clapton play his 335 on crossroads?

[@deadlegs187]

Thank you for being a friend.

[@GregorHoul]

Sunshine of Your Love was played on Clapton's '64 ES-335...

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Nah man his SG

[@livewire2474]

Dude i could listen to you shred all day long🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@petercramer7785]

Yeees, i was waiting for this vid!

[@mcpeck]

I had no idea David Spade used to play guitar! Awesome video and shirt btw thank you

[@andrewpappas9311]

I always associated Crossroads with Clapton’s ES-335 but it does still sound good on an SG, anyways here’s a list of some other riffs I’d include that just scream SG: - Hey Bulldog - The Beatles - BYOB - System of a Down - Ritual/Monstance Clock - Ghost - The Seeker - The Who

[@Lukas-lf9sd]

Its great gvf got included new rock n roll

[@adambell5781]

GVF is like taking every cliche of every 60s-80s rock band and spreading them evenly through an album narrated by Robert Plant. It’s hardly new is my point

[@jacobpetersen7219]

I don’t care that they’re famous but they’re taking so much away from the real new wave of rock and it’s criminal, there are so many fresh bands in the revived garage scene or art rock wave with so many influences

[@braydengrey5862]

ik i love it

[@owenmacintosh2059]

Beautiful guitar

[@jalensera]

Watched the whole video waiting for the GVF riff lol. Great video Rob🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@thomasthomsen6903]

Thnx for including Frank M

[@NRobertAlexander]

Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady and Purple Haze work surprisingly well on an SG. The slightly darker tone gives it a different edge.

[@BenDover-sj9zg]

Would this work with an ephiphone or like a tokai

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Sure will :)

[@BenDover-sj9zg]

Robert Baker oh yeah

[@johndaugherty4127]

Mini humbucker's!?

[@danielj3440]

An SG and a Marshall is all you need to create an amazing sound 😉

[@ck2352]

Loved it wish I could've seen Pinball Wizard by the Who, and Ramblin Man by The Allman Brothers.

[@phunsukh2810]

Glen Tipton too used an SG in the early 70s!

[@ledzephead1173]

Nice one to include greta Van fleet in there!

[@nickdisibio5445]

Great video as always. Keep it up man

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush!!! Nice!!! First time I heard him was on California Jam 2 album. Johnny B Goode and I'm a King Bee!

[@wakajacka557]

would love to see a greta van fleet video with riffs and run throughs on how to play them too!

[@Umbrey_Dunctum]

I am so surprised that nothing by Haim was included. Danielle is a big SG fan and she does do not do the usual crass ( but great fun) OD sound , which is our usual SG user go to.

[@rayh7046]

I've got a Limited Edition SG that's 24 frets and a mini humbucker that I've had for 3 yrs but for some reason I've never bonded with it. I don't know if it's the 24 frets, mini pup or that it's so light or all of the above. I keep telling myself I'm gonna either sell or trade it but I find it hard to part with for some reason. Any advice?

[@figgiesmalls1760]

rayze 101 sell it.then Buy a korean made epiphone lp/sg. Theyre just as good, if not better, than a gibson and you would still have a lot of money leftover

[@guitarmemoir]

In my opinion if you aren't playing it you might as well sell it and use the money to buy something that will inspire you to play more. I also feel if I am not playing one of my guitars, someone else should get a shot because they might love it. I got there because I bought a Les Paul that had barely been played despite going through 1/2 dozen owners in 10 years and it ended up being my #1. Just my 2 cents.

[@EmiHZ2]

Give it to me :)

[@cameroncrane3770]

Honestly I started from strats, went and bought an sg that I LOVED, then my les Paul's came along and I traded my sg but now I want to build a top of the line sg just to have a little more variety

[@rayh7046]

Guitar Memoir I play everyday just not the SG. I own many other Gibsons but the SG just doesn't do it for me. Thanks for the advice.

[@rafaazvdo]

Beautiful guitar 👏🤘

[@ivanganjee5653]

I've got a replica of an SG it looks like it just off an brand - I want to learn how to play songs like these where should I start??

[@diegozeppelin1]

Zappa and Frank Marino, great job man

[@georginapavitt8330]

Awesome 🤘 love watching you play 🤘

[@levicull6444]

Awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@Sodacake]

Those mini humbuckers look so fucking cool.

[@juliuskreeft71]

Cool that you added some Led Zep

[@gymover]

The SG rules for sure, i have two of them now I know better, I wanna rock on for sure!

[@ReserveForTwelve]

Hey Robert Im curious about the strings you use!? And GVF!!

its great to see gvf in this list

What’s the amp that you’re using? It sounds amazing!

[@josephscalone5402]

yooooooooooooo Robert great video, so glade you included Frank Marino. \m/

[@Riverwind25]

For those about to rock... We salute you!!! Robert great video, as usual, I went bunkers when I heard dragonfly by Frank Marino there!!

[@andrewfarley5127]

Roadhouse blues on an sg! Hell yeah!

YEAHHHH!!!!!
