I tried it, for me as a beginner it's SO hard to mute it, you got any Tips on how it's easier?

[@Zeip.]

Yoffo practice slowly, and work on your left hand, that's the way I did :)

[@Geekybros111]

Yoffo idk if this is an accepted way to play the riff but... I lay my whole index finger (left hand) across the strings to mute it. Then i use my other 3 fingers (Middle, ring, and pinky) to play the notes. Makes sure to not put any pressure on the strings with your index finger, just a tad.

All GnR riffs are brilliant. The best for me are My Michelle, Coma and Don't Damn Me. Also a lot of Slash's other bands (Snakepit, SMKC, Velvet Revolver) have some great riffs like Slither (One of the best riffs of all time IMO), Let It Roll, Speed Parade, Shadow Life, Beneath The Savage Sun.

I agree with your bent toward the heavier metal. Lamb of God probably deserves some rep on most "best riffs ever written" lists. Just pick a riff from 11th Hour at random.

[@Redrose03]

Seeing as how best is completely subjective he could have picked any number of factors to include in his definition. Complexity, catchiness, contribution to the music scene at the time, etc. Hes certainly smart enough to have done that if he wanted to. Instead he just made a click'bate middle of the road video with no real content. I like the guy but I expected more out of him.

[@senor_sam_3418]

Mmmm no best guitar riffs. It's what made the song, riffs that'll be taught to the end of times. That high horse of yours is getting a little weak there, you should get off it before it topples over bud.

[@MrKyel17]

Mr Sam Nice patronizing sarcasm, but he's right. There are plenty of factors one could use for a list, like this, but, instead, he basically just made a video of the riffs from some hit songs he likes. It's a cool video, but it's nothing special, and isn't accurate to the title.

[@budree4240]

I never thought you’d ask. Since this is going to be an 82 part series, we need to get started pronto Tonto. I like the length of the video. I like the tribute to the band with the different guitars. Fender for Nirvana, green paint for Green Day. Really impressed with sneaking Collective Soul and Heavy in there. I didn’t know others liked that riff. And Wherever I May Roam was heartwarming to hear. So, Jump, Pananma. Wait, are we really doing this? You jumped the gun on this one didn’t cha? You didn’t know what you were getting yourself into when you took on this little task. Anything will work. And you play pretty damn good. And that’s why we’ll watch the vids. To hear you play our favorites. Have at it.

Good selection!

[@tsiakkiros]

I would recommend to split the video into riffs and licks. Many of them, like that John Meyer lick, has nothing to do with Pantera - Walk. That riff is killer, and i don't even listen to Pantera.
