The 1960s - A Timeline Of Guitar Riffs

So rather than doing a typical 'Top 10' list of songs, I decided to try something a little different. Instead here's a timeline of great guitar songs from the 1960s. No order of 'best', just a selection of songs in chronological order that I like and think are great.
SUBSCRIBE - bit.ly/1YzT9us

0:29 - The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun
0:56 - The Kinks - You Really Got Me

2:08 - The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

3:03 - The Troggs - Wild Thing
3:35 - The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Foxy Lady
4:02 - Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love
4:26 - Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
4:58 - The Beatles - Helter Skelter
5:27 - Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown
5:55 - The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog

You had bad guitar teachers if they told you so. Look at the guitar virtuosos and you will see that none of them holds the guitar perpendicular to the body like the guy in the video does. And you don’t even need to have a guitar to understand why. Due to the fact that he holds neck so close to himself, he has to pull back his left elbow and his arm is constantly tense. Due to this positioning of the guitar, his right elbow, on the contrary, bulges forward at this crazy angle. Again, he holds his whole right arm in suspense instead of just resting it on the cutout of the guitar, which is there specifically for this. Thats why his alternate picking is bad - instead of playing Misirlou by moving his wrist only, while the relaxed forearm rests on the guitar, not only his whole arm but his body is shacking like he is having a seizure due to tension in his arm and shoulder. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoXRlYNumpKsbKM

​@@theali8oras274 It doesn't as long as you're playing entry level stuff. But when you get to the certain level of speed and difficulty you just have to hold guitar and pick in the right way if you don't want to sound like a total mess or your hand to fall of mid gig.

Marco P. Not really. The Beatles are my favorite band of all time, but John Lennon was definitely inspired by Bob Dylan, they were making pop before the started having more mature folk songs on their albums. Anyway, The Rolling Stones are ok, they had some great riffs and some great tunes, but they really just played the blues, sure they were the best at it, but other bands like the Yardbirds did that to. I feel like in terms of progressing rock forward, I feel like Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, The Doors, The Beatles, arguably The Who, and honestly most bands had more impact. I feel like their main gimmick was “ look, we are the Beatles, but edgy.”, which would be fine if they rocked harder like Pink Floyd or something or created new techniques, but they didn’t do much in that regard. Definitely had more influence than the Monkees tho, and at the end of the day, this is just my opinion. Also surprised The Beach Boys or Jefferson Airplane weren’t in this vid.

Great tone matching, and choice of songs of course 🤘
