[@WagnerMusic1996]

80 sick riffs from the 1880's

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

YES!

[@BrokenCDprodux]

Played on 800 lutes.

[@cobain_92]

00 Riffs from the 00s on 0 Guitars in 0 Minutes

[@umbrellafumes]

Amazing!

[@munifali7730]

Very lame

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

this is the first video every decent musician starts with.

[@youknoweverything7643]

Amazing man you rock

[@kamryntony3523]

You prolly dont care but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me

[@2chill4stress98]

80s guitar had the greatest riffs of all time. Nothing really compares. Virtuous guitarists!

[@donkarnage6032]

"Women in Love" is from Van Halen II which was released in 79

[@welchysawse]

And what’s your point

[@bustedcookout1574]

ZAYDEN WELCH it’s not an 80s song technically

[@superawesomecaillougod6664]

Yeah so cherry pie was made in 1990 so you’re not really original or cool for correcting him. He probably means 80s style or close enough kinda stuff

[@captainjack5458]

asks if you can name them all gives title at the right bottom Thug

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

thug life

[@synhet84]

Maybe he was referring to the guitars ;)

[@dread3888]

Only thing missing is some priest and maiden.

[@dread3888]

Slenderspartan Agreed! Robert Baker's channel is definitely consistently unique and inspiring.

[@kashrenolds6735]

As I waited...it never came

[@josephhauser4962]

those are two of my favorite bands! definately should have been on the list

[@Gonboo]

And more extreme metal

[@josearalat]

That was fucking cool man. You took me right to the 80s and high school all over again. I remember spending countless hours recording those songs from LPs to cassette and listen them in the car with beer and good friends!

[@BlackWolfgang70]

The van halen 5150 riff was the best one ;)

[@jayluck8047]

Say What You Will - by Fastway Not a very well known band today, but the name searches real well! It's a nice rolly-riff to warm up with.

[@michaelmele4888]

Check out "Jailbait" by Motorhead

[@shanetrain90]

Glad to see Ratt getting the recognition they deserve! They are so underrated! My favorite riff is You're In Love \m/

[@thehagshow3049]

Shane Train damn straight Ratt is my favorite band and they are underrated as hell

[@hortyist1]

Maybe Ratt is but, Warren DeMartini gets his well earned props.

[@ryma2614]

YESS!!! GREAT PICK \m/

[@jimpickens9681]

there ok

[@onutube6392]

They were glam metal, a literal fad, it's about what you Should have expected.

[@timwhite5562]

The main riff in Still of the night is still one my favorites.

[@heihei2300]

Nice that TNT got a shout out. One of the most underrated bands from the 80s!

[@bdr32965]

The sad part is that I recognized all of those riffs, the good thing was that I recognized all those riffs. But in those days, we had some of the best music there was, today's music can't even hold up against these classics. Although I will say that you were a bit too heavy on the distortion for many of the songs.

[@stijnvergeer7116]

I really really love 80's songs. Also love the guitars from that period:) I liked all the songs but those dokken and van halen riffs I like the most. :D

[@unclerodent9975]

Exactly what you heard when you walked into a music store in the 80s

[@IA-uk4hk]

You don't say?

[@cancrusher4780]

Awesome vid, that little snippet and amp settings didn’t do One justice... that song is a masterpiece

[@thelizardpalace4597]

Why didn’t you play sweet child o’ mine on the Les Paul!?!?

[@KickermanAVD]

My same fucking thought

[@pharflo]

Loved your playing - very skilled! I must not be much of an audiophile 'cause I couldn't hear the difference between the 8 guitars. They all had the same sound to me (distortion effects pedal).

[@boogerrs1031]

Dokken & ratt riffs everywhere!!!

[@MadDrummer100000]

Booger RS IMO the best hair metal bands

[@josearalat]

For a young guy you sure know your 80's Hard Rock. Well done!

[@scothays4354]

What model of Charvel is that? Looks like a Fusion from 1989.

[@franciscopimenta9089]

Had so fun with this video! Great songs selection! If you want 10 mnts of headbanging this a great video for that!

[@jaythompson7087]

Only 1 White Lion, we need some more Vito Mr Baker!!! Great video and well executed.

[@timwhite5562]

I'm really digging that raspberry (??) Finish guitar run the maple fretboard. What is it? The headstock looks like a Suhr, but it didn't look like it said that.

[@umbrellafumes]

Come on dude where was 'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits?!?!?!???!?!?!?!?! Classic 80s riff!!!!!!

[@livewire2474]

Would have liked some maiden,priest,twisted,dio but heck man well played bravo ive watched this a few times very impressed sir!!!!!

[@kitoyobeni1]

Bulletboys, Tora Tora, Dirty Looks, Saigon Kick, Shotgun Messiah, so much guitar goodness in the Eighties!

[@defhoez449]

I was hoping to hear XYZ's Inside Out...it's one of my fav riffs from the 80's

[@blindpanthervlogs]

This is my favorite era/style of guitar riffs and rock in general.

[@Undergroundraritiesmetalrock]

So good i was waiting for this for a while, great Job these riffs are killer, you have really good tastes man !

[@nightkatlxx2748]

Yowza, I got calluses just watching that. Great job Robert I grew up on that music....still do. You reminded me of a few I havent heard in ages. Keep it up

[@pvdguitars2951]

So good! Makes me wanna go right back to my 80ies vinyls and jam along! Sick collection of axes too!

[@OReazor]

Love those guitars, especially the crackle!!

[@frankcastle243]

Ah man, thank you for throwing def leppard in there! I've been practicing that song for a while now. It's definetly my most favorite def leppard song of all time!

[@peteharding]

Very impressive. Your tone and chops are wonderful. Thanks for including Faster Pussycat- they don't get much press these days.

[@leledumbo]

Rhythm in 80s are not even pure chords, 00s it becomes basic chords, 10s it's generated from software. Now people ask why I prefer sticking to 80s music as a guitarist?

[@TheRedSwallowCG]

I’m building an 80’s shredder, it’s a SSH CONFIGURATION. What Will be great Neck and middle pickups for that awesome 80’s metal sound?

[@thehansongoons8975]

These tones are making my hair stand up more than Aqua Net. Absolutely love it!! These are tones I am looking to hit.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

too many people - who usually weren't THERE - think the 80s was JUST the crap stuff, like the dudes with hairspray and spandex, but there was sooooooooooo much awesome stuff, riffs, iconic songs, etc. from that era... EVERY musical period has its GARBAGE, so to judge an era in whole by its flops is ludicrous. Take Twisted Sister - too many people see the image and never even hear the killer tunes like "Stay Hungry" or "You Can't Stop Rock & Roll".

[@TIMExBANDIT]

The further removed from the 80s we get the more I feel like it was the best decade of all time.

[@stratmanuk]

I saw Twisted Sister playing support to Alice Cooper in England a few years back (quite a few years I think lol), they were utterly brilliant and tbh were much the better act on the night.

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

Twisted sister is the band that got me into rock and metal glad to see some recognition

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

@@SuperZiggyCraft Awesome! W.A.S.P. is another band that has a bunch of great songs but gets overlooked because of their earlier image/stage outfits.

[@davidmarshall385]

i wanna know what brand g tar is the flame maple one the orange on thats sick what do you play through me i play carvin v3 into a marshall cabs with vintage 30s ghs strings 10 fender black crackle picks im a huge lynch rhoads evh etc fan of 1 gtar player to pull off lead and rhythm thats tough

[@bakerm1972]

Well done man! Those transitions doe....fun watch!!! I wonder if we're related?

[@drawwithbeektor6329]

Awesome job man! Love how you put them together, nearly seamless! 🤘🏼👽🤘🏼

[@maxbolton2555]

I loved the video, but I can't help but feel you were doing songs like Skid Row's "Piece of Me" without the raw emotion and nastiness that makes the song so awesome in the first place.

[@MrElliott1972]

Great job..I always dig your vids! Whats the guitar your using starting at 2:38..Enquiering minds wanna know??

[@julianschulz1620]

What was that LP that resembled an Epiphone Special? There's no way a cheap Epi could sound THAT good! That guitar actually slayed the others in tone, though they all sounded great.

[@DONTWANZ]

Thank you dude.I have to re-learn "Bark at the moon"Again....Great job.Subscribed,

[@gw2934]

Superb mate,gotta say ,a nice humbucker fitted in your strat would be the best sounding geetar in your arsenal,,,there's something about the design that has magic in it !

[@enriqueg3144]

You're great Rob! I've learned a lot from you

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

thanks homie

[@mikeythedistasteful]

I ordered a custom shop Jackson soloist based on a screenshot of that fire crackle Charvel. I’m pretty excited, should be here in about 8 months

[@dstroyer7306]

Literally every song is 🔥love all the dokken in here 🤘

[@anthonybye6998]

Brilliant! And Billy Squier! You, Sir, are the king of the 80s!

[@zabelius1]

Where was Forever Young by Tyketto? ;-) Such a great riff. Cheers Robert. Great channel.

[@tribubd1096]

Where is motley crüe?. Only one song?

[@janssenmaano3057]

That charvel is awesome.. reminds me of jack butler/steve vai..

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

it totally has that vibe

[@vestel777]

What brand is the Purple guitar???

[@spirit0destroyer]

great vid dude..and whats the name of that purple guitar?

[@arcgamer8688]

It would have been cool if you played You Could Be Mine by GNR at the end,the song form Terminator 2.I know it's in the 90's and it wouldn't fit,but still

[@joshserna9983]

Where did you get the crackle guitar you had at the end?

[@gregcallahan5397]

I like the figuring on the fingerboard of the Acacia.

[@ryanparkin9832]

what guitar brand is the third guitar? looks like a parker pm 20?

[@shelbymahoney1526]

Keep rocking amazing love 1980’s music

[@hakonstrong-stomp8155]

More Dokken riffs than any other haha great I love it

[@BongJovi69]

We got a Ratt fan here? I like it

[@cartercrawford9000]

rhys strawbridge bro Ratt is my shit. Personally they are my favorite 80's hair band

[@TonyFuentesTV]

EXCELLENT!! Great job Baker!

[@KnapfordMaster98]

Freight Train! Can’t believe that made the list. That riff is so much fun to play

[@OeGTVCanaldeApoio18]

Love your sound dude

[@davesmith6794]

I'm curious. What are you using to get that predominate tone?

[@jasonrackawack9369]

Geeze......its like you downloaded a flash drive of what I have stored in my head when I think back to the times when I was in jr high and highschool LOL!

[@nickb20]

This tone absolutely screams from the Charvel/LP. How are you doing the EQ/Gain?

[@LocoDirewolf]

Pleasantly surprised to hear something from TNT, disappointed that "Say What You Will" wasn't in the mix...

[@lukesteward3979]

You should do a video of Ratt Riffs for beginners!, that band has some sick riffs!!

[@thedisciple1764]

Robert "The Riff Machine" Baker. Let the Lion Roarrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@azasel]

Would you mind share axe fx preset? Thanks!

[@welchysawse]

Did anyone else notice that Van Halen and Ozzy had more riffs than any other, proof that Van Halen and Ozzy Obsborne are 2 of the greatest

[@onutube6392]

Ozzy Osbourne was a singer, he doesn't write riffs you fool

[@welchysawse]

@@onutube6392 i meant randy lol, my bad

[@onutube6392]

[@EricCPOP]

I know this is a few years old but what happened to Holy Diver by Dio?

[@landenb2047]

Pour some some sugar on me?! Where is it!

[@jimpickens9681]

true

[@pablo2by4GotBanned]

Only ones I missed were the songs by Winger and Nitro. Amazing video!

[@PaulLue]

Best 10:25 minutes of my day.

[@mcfek7575]

Friedman be 100 deluxe is the ultimate 80s metal amp

[@charlesfitzgerald3201]

Out of all the comments nobody asked what amp you were playing through , sounded killer with all guitars even the single coils , so do you mind me asking ?

[@toddiowarner3238]

Nice studio,great playing.....

[@nicholasspears2025]

I Love This List, Love Seeing Multiple Def Leppard Poison And Cinderella Those are my top 3 favourite bands in that order EDIT they Are Very Underrated although they were big in the 80s

[@nicholasspears2025]

Cool Man

[@nicholasspears2025]

Lol

[@JakeTerch]

Killer tone Robert!!

[@starkiller_9219]

So much riffs... i've got an overdose of riffs!!!

[@jackwells8302]

Always cool !! Any chance of a 5150 lesson ?

[@c.h.s9022]

What was the guitar used for the 20s ?

[@joycree6969]

You put a lot of work in there dude. Nice job In the 80s a ton of riffs in A. All rock /metal nowadays is in E Or whatever the lowest string is tuned to.

[@danresciniti]

Awesome. How do you get that tone?

[@gonr.2426]

There's no doubt 80s were the best time ! (along with 70s and 60s !!)

[@cliveclive54]

Te-RIFF-ic \m/

[@johngreene5630]

Purple guitar was beautiful!

[@rockybalboa2526]

Hey Robert, my name is Rocky. i have seen a few of your videos and like your playing. I wanted to ask you if you were in or around the new york city area? If so, i want to talk with you about playing guitar on 2 full albums and doing a local tour. let me know ...
