Easy 80's Riffs For Beginners!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

How about some underated 80s riffs :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmWQeXWQj8Zmgdk

[@KroolFool]

Really like that idea

[@creepfighter4536]

What's your background in music? Self-taught, degree in music, etc?

[@creepfighter4536]

And are you a full-time KZbinr?

[@creepfighter4536]

Just curious btw. Don't mean to pry

[@marcusofthestoneage]

Jes plz!

[@mr_dill_pickle5242]

loved the intro with the different guitars

[@jfeves8445]

Super strats and 80's riffs! Doesn't get much better than this.

[@garysanders3193]

Thanks brother! I have been playing bass for almost 30 years and trying expand my musical vocabulary and you helping me out tremendously! Please keep these videos coming.

[@rightonthemark1]

great video. love those tunes and that era of rock guitar. also my favorite. another cool not too tough cinderalla riff is - gypsy road another cool not too tough motley crue riff is - knock ‘em dead kid and maybe a little tougher but still cool dokken riff is - unchain the night 🤘🏽🎸🤘🏽

[@TropicalReflections]

Awesome choices! Love the Cinderella tune!

[@stephenmartin9029]

Great video, how about some non-metal 80's riffs for beginners? The Cult (Billy Duffy), Echo and the Bunnymen (Will Sergeant) or Billy Idol (Steve Stevens) are three examples that come to mind. Maybe something from REM? It's always good to "think outside the box," "cast a wide net," or [cliche place holder]. Great approach and your positive energy is infectious, which is just what we need these days.

[@gonr.2426]

Damn good choise here !!! keep rocking ! more Motley will be VERY welcome ! thanks !!

[@blackfender100]

Just missed the Live Robert.Thanks a Mil all sounds great.

[@AtomicThrillGaming]

Can't get enough of that 80's stuff. Thx. 👍

[@RJRonquillo]

I love all these sleazy riffs!

[@tridner1]

Excellent lesson, Sir Robert! 80's Metal had some of the best guitar riffs to start cutting teeth on!

[@workshoptazz7893]

Ohhhh! Bringing back all those 80's memeroy's 👍👍

[@FoolishFilms.]

You are the nicest guy on planet earth!!!you give me such positive vibes! I'm learning a lot from your videos on my guitar!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

So surreal, I was watching this when you commented on my video. Awesome 80's riffs brother! 👍😎

[@GreenJeep26]

A) This was nearly my 80's band's repertoire (minus Let It Go) B) FTW, I had Def Leppard's 'On Through the Night' the WEEK it came out, so High & Dry was obtained the day it came out C) High & Dry was one of the early 80's best albums and still my favorite Def Leppard release. FEAR IT! D) And a suggestion for one of your intro ditties; Fastway-Say What You Will....Deceptively awesome riff......And David King (vocalist) should have been huge.

[@ALLMETAL1970]

That wasn't metal though, it was hard rock. In through the night, is the real sh*t

[@patolucaspato163]

Breaking the low or Living after midnite,are easys riff,too

[@Metaldad87]

Love 80s hair metal guitar and players

[@elvis_chen]

Oh I love 80's rock, I born and grow up in the golden era.

[@spsigvee]

Awesome stuff, loving your videos

[@ashtongriffith3536]

Great video! Love these riffs! Great choice for beginners.

[@bradumberger2141]

Oh the memories ! Hell Yeah

[@andyp5743]

Great video. It would be awesome if you could do a video on how to set up an 80s tone.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

I actually have an old series on just that :)

[@BOSSNASSTY123]

Love the Cinderella riff. Their best song

[@aleksandr7076]

Спасибо Роберт! Твои уроки помогают.

[@jessetate9701]

The save me riff is so fun

[@christianurgese]

Thank you. Pleasant video.

[@kennydileo414]

Wasn't that Hungry by Winger,? Great tune man!

[@arsey5118]

Applause!!! Great lesson!

[@theccarbiter]

Now we need 70s version

[@MrSatanislav]

First riff in the intro of the video is Winger - Hungry

[@rangerdoc1029]

Bust out the Aquanet & parachute pants!

[@williamthomas4125]

Let It Go is a Beast!

[@holysmoke7887]

fuckin love that Winger riff in the intro

[@johnnycash4850]

Do u have any advice for an intermediate rhythm guitarist? Are there techniques that I should focus on? The type of music i play is thrash metal. I try to emulate riffs in songs like Almost Easy by Avenged Sevenfold and The Frayed Ends of Sanity by Metallica.

[@masonhaxelTMV]

one of the biggest things for me was figuring out proper picking technique that would allow for speed and stamina for down picking, alternate picking, and galloping, so finding a good picking technique is quite essential for playing thrash metal rhythms

[@322killuminati]

Jason Todd Don't listen to Avenged Sevenfold.

[@davedecker1725]

Hey Rob! Howabout the zoo by scorps? Love the high and dry! Saw def lep open for ozzy before diary and high and dry dropped EPIC!

[@keenanfernandes1627]

Can u do some intermediate riffs

[@brandonjmorris5]

Hey Rob! Long time follower! It appears you're really into Floyd's. Or at least guitars with them. I had to hardtail my strat cause I couldn't handle it falling out of tune. What's your opinion regarding that and Floyd's, etc?

[@MrNumber1gator]

Is that the Friedman Cali?? yeah is GATOR!!!

[@lizarrrdbeth]

Bending strings ... it adds that "SLEEZE" factor.

[@johnniemnemonic73]

Good vid Robert. What is the riff in the intro? I recognise it but can’t recall it.

[@peteyuckly4628]

Winger- "Hungry"

[@johnniemnemonic73]

pete yuckly oh of course it is, thanks.

[@regularguitar93]

Everyone is a beginner in some way, so whom did you exactly mentioned here as beginners??

[@blackfender100]

Agreed Reg

[@Metaldad87]

I think he meant like you just picked up the instrument and are just learning the basics

[@glendoski1611]

Nothing like 80s music! Oh .. Well early 90s was cool too. All the old songs were happy, party, girls.. now days.. depressed. Hate my life. Girl left me.. SMH but some are still cool.

[@JakobeOG]

Molly percocet

[@Me37368]

There are much easier 80s riffs out there

[@visionop8]

why does it sound so choked off? It sounds like the pickups want to scream but they are being smacked down. Is that he 80s sound? It sounds hotter than that to me

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

Awh dang you forgot Easy Come Easy Go by Winger

[@robotjeans]

Dude your studio is seriously lacking in monitors :)

[@addictedtoguitars4948]

All the real music died when the 80s ended.

[@jackharding2848]

By don? Dokken as a band? Lol

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Haha yep I meant Dokken

[@jackharding2848]

Lol. I thought u were secretly throwin shade at George. Gr8 video btw. Love these riffs.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

That riff was actually written by Don :)

[@jackharding2848]

@@RobertBakerGuitar color me purple and call me educated.

[@65Lynchy]

Great video of dokken live in Bremen 82

[@simonManleeeee]

Is he really big or are those guitars really small

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Im just a big dude. Most guitars look small on me.

[@hunterpierce5076]

YOU ARE SO GOOD I WANT TO BE YOU

[@ivanchernov3041]

>plays 80s riffs >plays glam instead of thrash Poser

[@garydarnell3117]

Can you not talk so fast and slow down a little it'll make things so much clearer.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Howdy there you can play the video at slower speeds if you like 😊

[@garydarnell3117]

@@RobertBakerGuitar ok not sure how that will help me understand what you're saying in a clearer way. So maybe i'll just not watch any of your videos again you sarcastic prick.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Hi Gary I actually wasn't being sarcastic at all. I thought your concern was the speed that's why I mentioned simply slowing the video down. No sarcasm intended
