5 Easy Guitar Riffs Every Beginner Should Learn TODAY!! ( WIth Tabs)

[@nicolaswaters8425]

I'm not gonna lie. I paused this video at 0:36 just to comment this. I like this guy. he doesn't seem stuck up and snobby like the rest of the KZbin guitarists I've seen and he keeps it real. " I'm not even gonna pretend like I know the rest of that solo" 😂

[@Twowheelsandadream4]

stevie doesent do that ether!

[@aidangoodwin7031]

If these are for beginners, I've found a stage before beginner. I can't play these. Haha.

[@ukdc-acdctribute1142]

They aren't beginner songs dude. They are easy once you get going but are not for beginners. My point being, dont let it put you off, keep on digging in and you will be awesome.

[@maximilianogranifo9650]

imo they are begginer riffs, but you not being able to play it doesn't mean you're below the begginer level. I've been playing for a year and still consider myself a begginer

[@DanteHanma]

i bought electro guitar yesterday and its too easy for me

[@blade913]

@@DanteHanma everyone is different. finger dexterity especially

it's basically a given that a beginner knows it

[@DerEchteBold]

David Calloway Haha, right! You're just a beginner for a very short while, but then most players are intermediate for ...what? 10, 20, 30 years ; )

[@daliborzak2485]

Your definition of "beginner" is somehow different from mine.

[@TheyfoundRickGrimes]

And mine ....😕

[@michaelmonster]

@@TheyfoundRickGrimes im some weeks in why is it sooo hard to play it with pinky finger :(

[@davidbowman8081]

Mine too 🤦‍♂️ I’ve been playing for years and I’m not this good

[@frodobaggins3974]

I tried these riffs on an acoustic guitar. Neighbours called police.

[@japowey8958]

When he says for beginners I think he means riffs that teach you valuable skills that you will use throughout your playing not just the easiest riffs that sound cool

[@RobGADV]

I'd love to try these but my fingers won't cooperate worth a crap.

[@travisslater3573]

start playing it slower in little chunks, then work on putting them together and then start speeding it up

[@erinweatherly6539]

Rob G don't give up it takes awhile to get your fingers to stretch and get used to the movements. Took me two years of constant practice to be confident with my fingers as well as strengthening them to handle the demand

[@Robbeard_]

Rob G You look like Franck Ribery

[@TheHoot7]

my pinky just doesn't work lol

[@ToyRocketz]

i thought that too, you need to build it up almost like a workout

[@nohandle498]

this is exactly the type of video I was looking for . things that are not just necessarily teaching me riffs , but tools to be used later on as I progress with guitar. This is perfect man. Thank you

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Thumbs up for the Boston riff. Every song of theirs contains classic must learn riffs IMHO.

[@emmanuel5615]

Well, my 5 years playing guitar hero are finally gonna pay off

[@ScorpioFireSnake]

bruh

[@SeamusFries]

Muggly X no they won't guitar hero is so much easier than actually guitar, instead of playing only five notes you have to space your fingers, constantly moving up and down the neck and you have to worry about picking, sweep picking, alternate picking etc.

[@vyclixs7178]

Salty The Fry, actually, GH overcomplicates most songs, so its actually a bit easier in my opinion.

[@kayainit]

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic

[@nicolaswazewski3542]

Scorpio Fire Snake what begginer is gonna be sweep picking?

[@jgdragonflame]

Just so you know, when you were explaining thunderstruck, you said fifth fret, but you played (and I'm pretty sure meant) seventh fret.

[@antoniodelafuentemccauley5867]

Thank u so much

[@fonze4400]

Yeah I noticed that too

[@mantas68]

I'm an old-school bluesy/rock guitar player and I've been playing for over 30 years. When I saw the link for this video, my old fart brain immediately thought, "Oh wow. Here's another long-haired douche who's just going to play fast and not teach anything". I was totally wrong, you ARE NOT a douche, and I always like it when I'm proven wrong in this manner - lol. I've know all of these riffs for decades, but if I believe in anything about guitar, I have a very firm belief in helping bring up new players so the traditions can continue. You've done an excellent job here. I'm going to e-mail my 13 year old son a link to this video and tell him to git workin' on these riffs. You've inspired this old dog to learn some new tricks. THANK YOU!!! :)

[@JamesTheManiac]

I love the More Than a Feeling bit, It's so much fun and great practice for me! I wouldn't consider myself a full on beginner, but I'm just barely past that. I'm still working on the single note picking and it helps a ton. New subscriber for sure!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

The other video was messed up so I had to re upload it homies

[@HAPPYCHIEF1]

k

[@JMort124]

Robert Baker I'm confused because the way you show on the whole tutorial for More than a feeling is played differently than this. Which one is correct? You say it starts picking " D B G E" but in the full song video you made for guitar control you say "D G B E" for the intro picking. I'm lost

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

the Guitar Control video is the correct way :) This video I just did off memory. When I did their video I actually listened to the song again

[@jewishchristian4308]

Robert Baker could you play these on an acoustic?

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

[@mrpzano]

My nephews all pitched in and bought me an SG guitar. The first song or riff I tried to learn was Thunderstruck. The most common advice I've received is learn to play the riff slowly and the speed of the riff will follow. Well I got the slow part down but I can't seem to learn how to play up to speed. I get so frustrated that I put the guitar away for awhile and then after some time I try again but same result.

[@DPSimpson]

thank god I'm not the only one who plays power chords with my pinky

I'd add Vicarious by Tool to the list, gets you used to weird timing and is a relatively easy tool song

What effects do you use? And what setup?

[@WilliamTanaka]

Hey Robert what about list with rhythm guitar; was thinking ones with more voices than the usual five/power chord and uses distortion, like randy rhoads and van Halen used to play. Besides rhythm being under look , people often forget that can play that way.

[@brendanswords4659]

Νικος Χ he never said it was

[@dennis7437]

its the second song i learned and it whas easy AF

[@brendanswords4659]

Ok I started learning it and its actually extremely easy

[@xmasta105]

Νικος Χ it all depends on practice and what you start with. I remember when I started I learned to play the intro to snow by rhcp before even learning some basic riffs like smoke on water etc. I couldn't play it perfect but it was like 80% speed. There are some easy riffs out there that I still haven't even played just out of not wanting to.

[@Peter-rl4nc]

Thanks for beginner stuff cheers

[@alekbaublis]

will gibson well it's actually different for each person. every person picks up things differently

[@lucabrandalesi6743]

they are not beginner friendly, but they can teach you guitar really well. I've been playing for two years, and it took me 5 months to learn them all, but now things like paranoi smoke in the water, nirvana and so on look pretty easy

[@Shadow_Dragon55]

Luca Brandalesi well seven nation army would be one then it's easy and it give you some power cords and licks :/

[@meurer13daniel]

Like he said in the video, you (meaning the beginner) don't have to play it at full speed at the first time. And the thing is, you can't get better if you'll be stuck at easy shit all the time, you have to try harder things.

Bobby Hall I was the same way! I played for about 6 months when I was seven and then just gave up. I started up again when I was 12 and now that I'm 13, I'm working on learning to shred metal songs and guitar is the best thing that has ever happened to me! Never give up on music! That is one thing I've learned in my 13 years of being alive.

[@GuitarMooseMusic]

Btw love that guitar big homie!!! Can’t quite tell what brand it is but I can see it has Seymour Duncan pup’s and it looks like a Floyd tremolo. I spend a lot of my free time dreaming about guitars I want lol

[@mboyer68]

I never even imagined this would happen, where a guitar guy was teaching riffs and I would know one of them already. I already knew how to play that Ozzy riff, what a trip! Edit: I know day tripper too!! And I wrote "what a trip" before he got to that riff...what a trip!

[@richjl73]

Good work my friend! I wish someone had pointed out to me when I was first learning that not all learner riffs had to be so plain and not lead to better playing. It's great that you explain so clearly that there are good reasons to try and learn songs that will help you pick up other songs easier in the future. I hope your videos inspire player to keep developing and grow their playing styles.

[@briankaiser4006]

i learned to play crazy train hitting the open A string instead of the 5th fret on the low E string. it all works though. 😉

[@sundigest1121]

you should get used to working out that pinky tho!

[@briankaiser4006]

True. Especially just learning to play. Ive seen a few people that taught themselves avoid using there pinky.

[@CiPhEr505]

Brian Kaiser Yeah, it's all about working on the ring finger and pinky. They're the two weakest digits, the ring finger's tendons are connected to the middle finger so making it operate independently is tough, and some songs like "Born to be Wild" need a real stretch from the pinky.

[@luizhenriquepaes8991]

Also Thunderstruck is a very nice training to the pinky, played this stuff for an hour and feel a little more comfortable with the pinky

Crazy train took was fun

[@williamwhite7041]

Can you make a video or a suggestion of certain solos that everyone should learn to help progress?

[@brendandoherty9379]

William White any guns n roses solos bud, if your total new to soloing start off with knocking on heavens door or maybe patience if you want an acoustic solo. Slash solos are amazing but to really learn to solo well learn what position each lick is being played in and figure out how he's connecting all the boxes together. Once you have the boxes figured out put on a jam track and start soloing. Use them licks you learnt from knocking on heavens door or any other songs uv learnt and just play them with different jam tracks in different keys and in different order to mix it up a bit, your ear will tell you what sounds good. Have fun with it man

[@williamwhite7041]

brendandoherty9379 thanks for the tips. Haven't really played any slash solos. I'm not new to soloing but new to shredding. I've been working on Nuno bettencourts solo from play with me. I got it down just not up to his speed.

[@brendandoherty9379]

William White m Dude that's awesome, if your into playing solos like that you should start following Claus levin on KZbin, man this guy is an amazing neo classical teacher. I started his neo classical academy 12 week course 2 weeks ago it's expensive but you can pay monthly for 4 months that's what I did. But I'm telling you it's worth it your playing will reach a different level instantly. He also has a free course on the site aswell you should try that before you decide to buy the 12 week course and see if you like it. I have no ties to him I'm not a sales man. But check him out for sure man I think ul love the lessons. He's took my playing to a whole new level very fast

[@williamwhite7041]
