If this riff came out in the 80’s, this would be an all time great iconic riff!

[@shawnpaquette5835]

You mean it isn't an all time great iconic riff?

[@Fireguy65]

@@shawnpaquette5835 it is for me

[@spongebabe27]

Doesn't matter when it came out, or shouldn't. I get that it does for many people which is why you made the comment, but it's an all time great riff as it is

[@jokerthajoker]

"Oh god, why did you stop?!" I love his enthusiasm for the song and riff even after hearing and playing it thousands of times !

[@lemlem35]

Best part of the whole video it never gets old

[@WhoDidYouSay]

That is one of the coolest riffs

[@catfishmusic6158]

2022 and I'm still watching this. Tenacious D will NEVER DIE

[@kempwood_foo]

I'm about to watch them in concert tonight! I'm so excited!!

[@mrnobodyouknow]

I played this for a music assessment at school a little while back and sped it up a little bit. Needless to say I got an A due to the awesomeness the Metal possesses

[@icarus432hz9]

Can`t believe i just found this channel.

[@aazri29]

[@ThinlyCut90]

You can really appreciate just how awesome this song is by slowing it down and watching it.

[@dougsensei]

Honestly one of my favourite tenacious D songs

[@dexmakkina]

Hey Kyle Gass, long time fan and student of your music as well as the D, just found your channel and so glad I did! Keep it real, brother, one love.

[@tlehman0001]

be a lot easier to learn if the camera would stay on the guitar, guys.

[@BeezerGutlr]

Thank god for playback speed

[@one8s7n]

One of my favorite songs to play! I'm glad I can learn the real way instead of the wrong tabs

[@Greynwolf]

Wow, I didn't know about this channel. You guys are great, especially KG.

[@Ceejles]

Dear KG, Kones, and JB, I can not wait till may 24th at the fox theater when i'm going to see my favorite band of all time ! Tenacious D is the reason i started playing guitar and your music has got me through alot of hard times. Without you guys i would probably not be the person i am today. HAIL TO THE D!

Gonna learn this right now (although in drop c# since im too lazy to change the setup ;p ) Thank you guys for teaching us, it's always great for a guitar player to learn their favorite songs straight from the hand of the creators ;p

[@jaiwook63]

It has taken me to long to learn this most powerful of riffs...

[@barfonhim]

Awesome channel and good call on playing the hole riff : )

[@AndrewJDJepson]

I'd take that private lesson deal. I'm a new guitar player and would die for the experience of being raised and mentored into the world of rock from... well... the greatest band ever

[@jagaloon14]

Hearing Kyle doing the introduction narrative for the metal, keep this video in a museum please so 30 years from now I can be really happy and excited for a second please

[@THB_Woods]

Phoenix, AZ baby

[@MrChicharo90]

[@Guitarings]

@Musicgirl82 Can we see a video of that!

[@MK18aficionado]

God I love Kones' guitar.......I want my name inlayed on the 12th fret where'd you get it built?

[@rungesmith]

this band is a perfect example of why anyone can make it in music these guys are the most unprofessinal band ever and yet they kick ass! haha rock on guys!

[@Teletha]

tabs where?

[@MK18aficionado]

Kones has two of those guitars!?! I want one!!!

[@MexicanSuperDubi]

I fucking love Tenacious D!!!!! Rock on!

[@txicityy822]

*shreds* "yeah just do that kinda thing."

[@natevonhartleben2737]

It's too bad these guys aren't very good teachers, because the riffs are some of the most amazing riffs in the history of many kind! They look fun as hell to play too! But it's so good, and they seem to have so much fun playing that I really enjoy watching these even though I can't seem to understand with them teaching lol.

[@Lejundairy]

Nate Von Hartleben Here's at tab for it; tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/tenacious_d/metal_ver9_tab.htm

[@davelightman]

+Lejundairy Nice one!

[@roterfuchs8201]

their bifftered out their nuts

[@Bmxicano2]

Yeah these lessons aren't for beginners. They dont teach the songs note by note. but if you have some experience you can make out what they play by looking at the position of their hand on the fretboard.

[@wattsonthetube]

I had to slow the video down to follow the riff, but I also got the added bonus of watching the stoner stoner edition :P

[@Guitarings]

@SixSidedVlogs I do.

[@bsd0432]

La sexta cuerda va afinada en Re ,the six string is in D tuning

[@celestegrijalva1050]

Since it's too fast , you guys can go to the options on the video and click the playback speed and slow it down

[@checkout555]

You guys Rock!By th way,could you guys teach us how to play Kielbasa?Plz:D

[@GNRSlashful]

@Guitarings Oh perfect, now I know everything. :)

[@AgentDewy]

I watch this video when I want to get inspired.

[@Theart182]

@erorocknroll Tenes que agarrar un afinador electrico y bajar la 6 cuerda que en el standard es una E a una D o sino podes cambiarlo a oido pero no te va a quedar tan preciso como si usaras el afinador

[@kike30yea]

sabia que en mexico habia mas gente que queria a tenacious d

[@theperformingguy112]

@TheWonderRob An awesome guitar

[@AlexPlatacis]

Love the socks and sandals. Are those Rainbow Sandals? If not, I am sure we can get you some sandals for you if you guys come down to San Clemente for an acoustic thing for your next Guitarings video. You can film it right at the store. Let me know I will work out the details for you.

[@derD3pp1]

@guilepro "Drop D" means basically that you tune the low E String 1 step down..So from E to D.

[@Samueltherock]

it's true

[@johnbkeane440]

I fucking LOVE KG

[@aquaagu2]

Fox Theater in Detroit?! I knew they were coming here to Michigan on July 6th but I didn't know that they were coming on May 24th! That's fucking awesome haha

[@MK18aficionado]

LMFAO!!!! Pause at 4:43 Just made my day :)

[@Metaljesuslol]

im so excited to learn this song from kyle fuck this add!

[@collinboykin1564]

What I would do for a lesson with these guys ha

[@bakedcrystal915]

You'd be lost

[@joeyboogenz]

Definitely an old school Mockingbird.Probably early 80's,when they were very high quality.They used Hawaiian koa wood on most of the ones I have seen. Reminds me of Joe Perry guitar

[@seekingsomethingshamanic]

I have never been more tempted to challenge a band. We have 3 couches and large bongs. We need taught how to properly jam among rock gods

[@Smol-White]

thanks to Marty Shwartz!! :D otherwise I would of never found this video of pure awesomness!

[@MohamedElHanoun]

2023 and still my best metal Riff 🎸❤️ By the way U don’t have to use drop D just Standard Tuning Works Too all u have to do play 6th string Open it’s the same note

[@guilepro]

@guitarings I'm really noob at playing guitar caus i just began... So i need to know, for tuning an electric guitar, can i use a clip-on tuner made for acoustic guitar? And, what is playing « drop D» ?

[@Guitarings]

@XxTequilaahxX Marty rules!!!! We love MARTY!

[@ZiGy14]

[@MrJacoblike]
