I'm not sure, I think it could be very interesting though. Why not be there, have a great time with great people and doing your best? Afterwards there could be a chance of people hand you one or another advise to improve yourself. Of course I'd be hella nervous, too! But isn't this the point we want to get over? Improve yourself and talk to people through music. Anyways, hats off to all those musicians! Also thank you Paul, for another great video!

This video is actually perfect. I’m just getting back into guitar after not touching it since high school and I’ve had no idea what to learn, cause I’ve retained enough to be bored playing the basic beginner stuff, but I also need to rebuild my dexterity. This gives me a wide range of stuff to choose from based on what I like, and more importantly, it highlights the skills I’m learning or relearning from each one. Thank you ❤

If I may say it without being able to play ANY of those riffs, I think "Slow dancing in a burning room" answers the question for me, and for the same reasons Danish Pete spoke about. Feeling, control, ability to convey emotions. What could one ask more? And it implies technique, knowledge, and pretty much whatever else. 🙂 That said... "Difficulty: impossible" and "Difficulty: Yes" broke me.😅 Loved the video. The questions were totally the "right" questions to ask, and the answers somehow showed what is important for each one of those who answered. Very VERY interesting. 🙂 Thank you a lot. 🙂 See you next time! 🙂

If anyone wants a list, here's what I got. I think there is one missing. 1. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer (5/10) Emotion, control, and touch. 2. Beat It - Michael Jackson - (3/10) 3. Here Comes the Sun - Beatles (uses capo) (7/10) 4. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynrd (6/10) 5. BB King - kind of anything - phrasing using only 2 notes (3/10) 6. Schism - Tool (4/10) 7, 8. Pride & Joy - SRV (2 votes) (7/10) 9. Layla - Derek and the Dominos (6/10) 10. Nothing Else Matters (“nope”) 11. Just Got Paid - ZZ Top (3/10) 12. Erotomaina - Dream Theatre (3/10) 13. Foxy Lady - Jimi Hendrix (5/10) 14. Highway to Hell - AC/DC (2/10) 15. Black Dog (correctly!) - Led Zeppelin (7/10) 16. Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd (1/10) 17. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (4/10) 18. Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry (6/10) 19. Baby You Can Drive My Car - Beatles (3/10) 20. For the Love of Money - O’Jays (3/10) 21. Lost in Paris - Tom Misch (9/10) 22. Mr Brightside - Killers (7/10) 23. Sunshine of Your Love - Cream (2/10) 24, 25. Smoke on the Water (0.5/10) 2 votes 26. Sweet Child O’ Mine - GNR (5/10) 27. Stairway to Heaven - (4/10) 28. Classical Gas - Tommy Emmanuel - (hard - impossible - opinions vary)) 29. Jump (chords of opening piano part)- Van Halen (varries) - Jump just the chords to start.

I've stalled out a little bit lately having spent a couple years learning acoustic guitar mostly by hearing a song that I liked the sound of and following along with the chords/tabs on the Ultimate Guitar app. I don't listen to a lot of rock music, but I do enjoy it and recognize several of these riffs. This video and the answers given are great because A) they sound cool, B) most aren't too difficult, and C) there is some specific learning opportunity and skill demanded in each riff. I've wanted to start learning more lead and rhythm guitar and this feels like the perfect gateway! Thanks!

I agree, it was refreshing to hear someone being considerate of what it was like to pick up the guitar for the first time. Being able to play something recognizable right out of the gate is huge for helping newcomers stick with it.

Love your work @PaulDavids. I have been watching you for several years. I’m studying with somebody else right now but you’re definitely on the list I’m 68 years old and I am moving out of intermediate Guitar prison . Love your videos and I hope to study more with you as my instructor down the road.❤🎸

And played in standard tuning (how I first learned it as a child in the 70's) would make it easily one of the most difficult of all of these. Note: Jimmy didn't play it in standard tuning. Just to be clear, I've known that since I first learned it in standard.

@@christianhalverson9070 : Led Zeppelin was the first discography I learned almost entirely. Later I did learn the entire discography of Rush up to Power Windows when I realized all of my originals sounded exactly like Alex, and I had to literally stop listening to Rush for years to correct that mistake. A very hard lesson learned. Unless a person wants to be a clone, it's far better to learn a good number of different styles.

Plenty of favourites on that list! My warm up list usually includes Hurts so good John Mellencamp, Back In Black ACDC, Sweet Home Alabama Lynyrd Skynyrd, In the Summertime Thirsty Merc. No matter where i'm at, i'll always go back to those. Guess its everyone's preference what to go for :)

Aw, this was marvelous. Needs more riffs! Then, I could enjoy the video longer. My vote is Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin. It teaches a new guitarist a slightly non-traditional why to look at guitar. From harmonics to walk-downs of the fret. Great video! Thanks, Paul!
