Top 10 "Underrated" Clean Guitar Riffs

[@guitarist6494]

What's good my brahs !? Hope you enjoy this video, it was fun to make. As of now I'm trying to upload much more regularly, instead only once every 1-2 months.... 😅 Anyway let me know what you guys think and if you would like to see a certain video, or style of video, or a suggested Top 10, let me know. NEXT WEEK will be a pickup comparison, Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded Set (TB-4 & Jazz) VS Stock pickups in the Mockingbird. Thanks -Alex

metallica welcome home,it's beautiful man

[@MrACangusyoungDC]

I want you (she's so heavy) is monstrously great especially towards the end, but I am not sure it's clean

[@tannahl.6220]

Sanitarium and Planet Caravan will forever be some of my favorite clean riffs ever.

[@Ahmed---f9291]

had no idea the opening riff to sanitarium was underrated

[@Jake-pk3xb]

Ahmed Ameeri me neither

[@hamshussein]

Lol i play that intro at every guitar store

[@steakyboi1307]

Ikr, how could this be underrated when I only listen to it all the time and here it at every guitar store?

[@gerdiedoo]

yow man, you really got to change that intro.

[@tytrexo]

Gerdiedoo It looks like it was made in 2006 😂

[@JosieIsCozy]

It scares me every time

@@tytrexo I think he meant the sound

[@leonrevers979]

Why, its just an intro

[@alexisnicolas9554]

Def Leppard's Love Bites is my absolute fav ever, this song is just unbelievable, what they achieved with all the different guitar parts is just phenomenal.

[@CammojoDragon97]

Metallica's clean parts are some of my favourites, I'm not a big metal guy (I do love metallica though), Hetfield's clean tone is one of my favourite guitar tones ever, and those riffs (live versions of Fade to Black, Sanitarium, the verses in Halo on Fire) just freaking MOVE me man

[@sundigest1121]

the clean part on master of puppets is great too

[@internex2933]

I love the clean tone of "One"

[@del5582]

Perhaps it was too difficult to play for him! Marr was an absolute madman. God knows I can't play it. I looked at the tab and started shaking my head. Don't forget "Some Girls Are Bigger than Others."

[@jan_Travis]

Such a great song.

[@scottishross91]

I certainly wouldn't call that "underrated".

[@emilyshanteler9589]

Sanitarium is one of my favorites 🔥

[@curlyquote4942]

Great video as always!

[@guitarist6494]

Thanks Curly, to answer your other comment, probably Metallica - Sanitarium, as I already knew most of the others but I didn't quite know this one well, so becoming familiar with it and practicing was good.

[@curlyquote4942]

guitarist6494 That's my favorite one! And great job

[@crittersfritters]

Love the special treatment Def Leppard got lmao

[@martintuppurainen7059]

Flawless playing man! Those cleans are phenomenal!

[@HugoKhan]

Only with Gotten, you play the bass notes wrong. Its C# A E B

[@dig_benz8874]

Sander Branderhorst shut up amd let him play. i don't see you uploading anything

[@snardash_1197]

Sander Branderhorst when that song came up it hurt to listen to it, really.

[@nwijesinghe]

Denzy W - the man is trying to correct him so he would play better...i don't think he was trying to bring him down or nothing..

Mighty Mighty Bosstones & Blink! Planet Caravan and Welcome Home (Sanitarium) are awesome. Some of my all time favourites.

[@moisessanchez8099]

Street Spirit - Radiohead I want you - The Beatles

[@Centurion182]

Thank you for "Stay Together For The Kids" by Blink-182! :-)

[@jamesogilvie1649]

Centurion182 it's a good riff, I'm sure Mark used to play that riff as a bass part. Don't quote me though lol..

[@mementomori4606]

All Apologies riff is underrated IMO, good video

[@nicoyow4977]

you surprised me with Mighty Mighty Bosstones! Good job mate!

[@wezum]

Glad you put Where The Streets Have No Name on your list! Its truly amazing riff and yet i dont see him often on other lists :/

[@ankurchakrabarti20]

You nailed the tone of "gotten".

[@cervgiovanni]

Dude Great sound!! Earphones on, I was having eargasms! Love what you did with #1

[@noahhampton5946]

Love Bites sure does deserve to be #1

[@TrashRat45]

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

[@getsetknow8998]

Does 0:37 sound like Hope Leaves by Opeth to anyone (other than me)?

[@andrewsmith9727]

Never meant - American football my personal favorite clean riff ever constructed

[@helenbrown7440]

Amazing riff

[@kyle-with-the-drums]

One I have yet to see on any lists is "So Here We Are" by Bloc Party, and the riff for that is absolutely beautiful

[@capsuleboy]

I can remember like 2 or 3 years ago, I walked to school and listened to some black sabbath albums. I always remember that song for the voice, I dont remember the melody or chords, I only remember that it was peaceful and dark.

[@Acehan]

Those guitars undoubtedly look GREAT.

[@GSHYBR1D]

Thank you so much for making this video I have been running out of songs.

[@williamrosa8662]

Your black and gold ibanez is amazing! Nice work man

I knew it wasn’t gonna be on the list but the intro riff to When The Wild Wind Blows by Iron Maiden is on another planet

[@JeamLeppard]

Love Biteeees!!!!

[@RRbestever]

love bites🎸👊r.i.p Steve clark

[@kkshady]

as I'd said earlier also.. I wish to have a picking pattern like yours.. it's just beautiful to watch

[@popbumper]

Good video - all are non-distorted intros that get everyone's attention and they know the song right away. There are some technical playing differences in these that I noticed, certainly the last one from Def Leppard is played a bit differently on the album. But absolutely no points off there. I've seen hundreds of live shows in my life and rarely do they play it 'just like the record' unless you are Rush or Dream Theater. I like your list!

[@ShadesOfficial]

Great vid! I like you included 'Gotten' and 'Love Bites', nice playing there dude

[@bestboy897]

Dat black ibanez with gold hardware is so beautiful

[@curlyquote4942]

What was the most fun one to learn?

[@pinkcreme69]

Curly Quote imho Gotten by Slash :)

[@matteobenda7028]

Still you don't play it correctly

[@screenz1640]

Great work brother! Your video's always helping me to grab my guitar and practice sth new! Keep on the good work!

Thank you so much!! I’m going to try to learn some of these.

[@DennisBayazitov]

A-Punk is another favourite of mine!

[@juanmanuelsosapadron8795]

Well, I just discovered that the last one Lef Leppard "Love bites", it's identical to "Agua" by "Jarabe de Palo", a Spanish pop band...

[@DoppelgangerJ]

i haven't seen a quilted cherry mockingbird before. looks and sounds great!

[@gk6993]

I do agree. Some, I've never heard before. I mean just literally last week, I never even heard of Racer X, let alone Paul Gilbert.

[@rafaelfreitasgt]

Gotten's riff is so beautiful! :)

[@DukeOz]

Maybe it's a dumb question but what is the difference between these type of riff and a arpeggio? I learned that arpeggios are chords played note by note

[@AlexPhantom1292]

Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath and Pantera are so Brutal

[@Jake-pk3xb]

I've heard the Seattle 89 version of sanitarium so many times I started to comment you played it wrong because James changes it up slightly in the 89 version

[@pelimies1818]

That Leppard song is awesome. Thnx!

(your other guitars too, but that one is my favourite)

[@marcpopek8083]

Thank you for your work. I certainly learned several new chords. And can say' oh that's how that sound is made'..lol after all these years.. nice work. Any chance you dcratch out tabulature of chord shapes for each numbered riff ..in all your u tube....ideas...

I know you said "underrated", but isn't Sanitarium one of those that everyone learns to play :)

[@cguitar4733]

Please how do I get an ibanez to sound this clean? I'm noob but man I loved the slim neck cause I have small hands but I'm into jazz, blues, neo jazz, lofi, some prog rock and I only find reviews shredding and accentuating the "metalish inclination of ibanez" ... THANK YOU for doing this clean demonstration. I would pay for to see you playing some jazz and more clear stuff and also... What do you think it's the best "cheap" ibanez for intermediate players? I'm getting serious about playing so I'm already 10 thousand hours down into your guitar tricks course lol. anyway subscribed and if someone could help me with the models would be really awesome

[@landeralbizuri3546]

the riff number 4 (3:08) is plagiarism of the song rainbow warrior of the band bleak house

[@Guitarplayer724]

"From the beginning" Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I know it's old, but it's still clean :D

What kind of distorsion is this?!

the basses in the note progression base of the second song are wrong, you inverted the moment of the note A with the note E... Here is the correct pattern of the song: C# - A - E - B - C

Planet caravan is one of my favorite songs of black sabbath
