[@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!

[@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 ;)

[@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

[@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

[@BlackWolfgang70]

The van halen 5150 riff was the best one ;)

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@unclerodent9975]

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

[@IA-uk4hk]

You don't say?

[@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

[@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

[@josearalat]

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

[@blindpanthervlogs]

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

[@boogerrs1031]

Dokken & ratt riffs everywhere!!!

[@MadDrummer100000]

Booger RS IMO the best hair metal bands

[@franciscopimenta9089]

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

[@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

[@defhoez449]

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

[@jaythompson7087]

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

[@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).

[@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!

[@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?

[@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!

[@GobiPup]

Malmsteen’s Queen in Love got oversimplified, but you admitted end of video that you might have messed up one or two, that plus the sleep deprivation and that I appreciate the inclusion of Queen in Love and it’s all good. It would take me weeks to learn all of that. One sleepless night shows you’ve got a good musical memory. Love the channel. 🙂

[@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!!

[@enriqueg3144]

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

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

thanks homie

[@landenb2047]

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

[@jimpickens9681]

true

[@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.

[@PaulLue]

Best 10:25 minutes of my day.

[@thehansongoons8975]

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

[@janssenmaano3057]

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

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

it totally has that vibe

[@anthonybye6998]

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

[@Undergroundraritiesmetalrock]

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

[@drawwithbeektor6329]

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

[@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.

[@peteharding]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@KnapfordMaster98]

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

[@DONTWANZ]

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

[@darthhull85]

5150 is such an underrated riff

[@yasminnijman1139]

Scared the sh’t outta me when you came rollin into my screen, love it

[@hakonstrong-stomp8155]

More Dokken riffs than any other haha great I love it

[@LocoDirewolf]

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

[@gregcallahan5397]

I like the figuring on the fingerboard of the Acacia.

[@shelbymahoney1526]

Keep rocking amazing love 1980’s music

[@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

[@MrElliott1972]

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

[@cliveclive54]

Te-RIFF-ic \m/

[@mcfek7575]

Friedman be 100 deluxe is the ultimate 80s metal amp

[@dstroyer7306]

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

[@TonyFuentesTV]

EXCELLENT!! Great job Baker!

[@thedisciple1764]

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

[@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

[@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 !

[@ryanboland6231]

Awesome Video. Love that you included INXS!

[@bakerm1972]

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

[@pablo2by4GotBanned]

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

[@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.

[@starkiller_9219]

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

[@Crezymunky]

That was pretty rad...

[@livewire2474]

HOLY SHIT DUDE!!!!!! i just drank a whole 12 pack in that 10 mins.just kiddin.. that was absolutely awesome well done!!!! You are a rocker thru and thru dont let anyone tell you different bro!!!! Dammmnn i love the 80's😉😉🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺

[@Cyberfender1]

YnT ! Saw them many times in the 80's. Nice!

[@johngreene5630]

Purple guitar was beautiful!

[@owenmacintosh2126]

0:03 😂 Great video

[@stratmanuk]

Thankfully some Vito at #61! Second only to Nuno as someone who took Eddies influence and ran with it rather than just copying it:-)

[@ddguitars1969]

Best decade for riffs ever

[@gonr.2426]

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

[@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.

[@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]

@@welchysawse the council of thrash will decide your fate

[@darthderek]

The fact that you can make an Epiphone Special, with plastic still on the pick ups no less, sound that good is all the proof anyone should need that 80+% of your sound comes from the player themself

[@OeGTVCanaldeApoio18]

Love your sound dude

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Cool I love playing some of these riffs!

[@nomadronin7361]

Aww, I wanted the pinch harmonic from Dokken's Kiss of Death...

[@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?

[@toddiowarner3238]

Nice studio,great playing.....

[@andrewbettis4247]

That's a lot of riffage well done thanks for taking me back to high school

[@spirit0destroyer]

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

[@lukesteward3979]

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

[@JakeTerch]

Killer tone Robert!!

[@kingofdragontown9680]

Love all the Rockin' with Dokken

[@ginterka381996]

I love Dokken. 😍

[@Frogfn5]

Nice Roland strat, I have the same one, but I found mine on the roof if a hotel

[@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.

[@jorgito93700]

Wow got baited twice for riff 68, first thought it was 2 Minutes to Midnight, then thought it was Flash Rockin' Man by Accept.Then i saw it was a song i didn't know.

[@hudsonthomas7001]

I like that sunburst

[@georgeirisarri4371]

I Love the sound of that TELE amazing !!!

[@scothays4354]

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

[@hunterpierce5076]

I have all these songs on my playlist

[@jackrush4883]

Great choice of music

[@drewbabineau8599]

Please do 90 riffs from the 90s on 9 guitars! Maybe then you could do 100 riffs from the 2000s on 10 guitars and 60 riffs from the 60s on 6 guitars.

[@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

[@tribubd1096]

Where is motley crüe?. Only one song?

[@ronnieallen395]

I'm not knocking you I love to watch you play at school bump it up
