[@ralphwhaley4164]

I remember when I was 14, I was in a music store playing "My Sharona". The guy came over and, very politely said, "that's not the best way to play that", and showed me the "right" way. I then started playing "Back in Black", and he was like "umm...OK, let's work on this one". I probably should have been thrown out, but everybody has to start somewhere.

[@oprose2000]

I get the thinking though - same reason retail employees hate christmas songs, when you've heard them dozens of times a day (especially played badly) then you'd be happy if someone just ran through a few scales and said yeah, I'll take it 🤣

I am so tired of the 'forbidden' riffs being treated so badly... they are essential learning, just don't try to "learn" them in store... save that for home and play it well when you go back to the store.

[@theghastlygamer5326]

Wrong, thats how you scare learning players away from going to the store and trying out guitars they are interested in buying. Even if you are not good, go for it screw everyone else they have just as much right to try before they buy as anyone

[@Dog_Botherer]

Either you didn't read my comment properly or you are just ignorant. Everyone should indeed visit a store and try things, but practicing a classic that's been overplayed millions of times by people who can't play it properly at a guitar store is not good for anyone. If one is capable of not butchering a rendition then fine, go ahead.

[@AlexWolffDev]

@The Dog Botherer what kind of a person are you? I bet my behind that she's doing it better than you, with closed eyes, if you're even playing. She didn't learn them at the store. she did a not really serious video. That's all. Either you're having a very bad time a bad day, in which case it wouldn't be a problem. But it rather seems that you taking yourself and therefore everything else too serious because there is some instability in your character. People of 2022 are really something.

I grew up with these riffs and loved them. Then I learned how they worked and changed them up in my songs. The idea behind the SOTW riff has been used so many times in so many ways (even by Blackmore himself), and it's still fun to make new riffs with it. Great vid.

Haha this was fun 😆. If everyone in the record shop played these classic riffs as well as you, no one would mind, but of course they don't. That's why they drive guitar shop assistants nuts. The riffs themselves are inspired works of genius and you never grow tired of them. For me the most iconic and greatest of all is SMOKE ON THE WATER - just 12 notes, yet they stir your soul. It is probably therefore (to answer your question) the most forbidden riff.

Stairway might be THE forbidden riff, but I think Sweet Child 'o Mine is probably the one most often butchered in stores. I know I did it back when I was starting haha.

Amazing video, and once again, the intro was comedy gold haha.

I promise I don't play them in my guitar shop! Not because they're "forbidden" though, just because I'd feel mortified if I played something familiar and messed it up in front of staff and customers. For this reason I play something I know they'll never have heard of. I like the staff's confusion as try to work out what I'm playing! 🤣🤣 [p.s. Until I'd heard about 'banned riffs' on a certain KZbin channel, I'd never heard it ever mentioned in a guitar shop I've been in, in Scandinavia or England.]

The whole "Forbidden Riff" thing is because they are simple riffs that any beginner or average guitar play could play. So they always play them while testing out guitars at stores and anoy the staff. Master of puppets, Reign in Blood, Through the Fire and the Flames? Thos are way to complex to be considered "Forbidden Riffs". I agree with the alot of the list though.

[@wikdipr2944]

That is nonsense, the forbidden riff meme came from a Wayne's World joke and if any music store actually kicks someone out for playing a specific riff it only proves that they are artists that can't comprehend humor and don't know anything about sales, customer service, the law, or human decency and deserve to be fired or put out of business. Personally I would set up some massive speakers outside and play the same 10 seconds of stairway to heaven over and over again until I got tired of it, then get all my friends to do the same thing, in shifts until they needed me to be their mascot.
