I'm thinking of doing a "Top 20 Simple Guitar Solos" next or even "Underrated Clean Riffs"? What do you guys think? Let me know (other suggestions would be great)

[@bradleybaker967]

Nick Jonas' ACM guitar solo

[@guitarist766]

"Top rock songs used in movies" ; "top clean solos" ; "best acoustic riffs" ... Maybe stuff like this, btw I love how you play, new subscriber.

[@patriot1531]

Yeah thats a good idea!

[@guitarist6494]

I've actually thought of those haha But they are looking very time consuming for me to do. I want something so I can upload fairly regularly. Thankyou !! :)

[@ethanmiller7722]

Check out the clean guitar riff in the song One More Day by Lydia. Really cool and nothing too difficult. They also have some other good guitar stuff in their songs This is Twice Now and Hospital.

[@javinterlaje3754]

can u please do vol 3

[@guitarist6494]

If people let me know by liking your comment and unless I can think of another 20 good clean riffs (and can play them) then I might but It won't be for a while, I'm working on a few ideas atm ;)

xd

[@gameplayersss]

I noticed that too. He really needs to search for some good tutorial... But the video is good :) :D

[@mirko2481]

maybe he did it becuase it has a floyd and he would need to cut the end of the string to fit i nthe floyd

[@elliotmcclean6682]

Where is scar tissue by rhcp! Nice work though mate

[@PatBirdUK]

Dream theater - on the backs of Angels intro is my favourite clean riff, awesome video anyways :)

[@guitarist6494]

Damn that sounds good too. I'd include it another list but it definitely sounds acoustic to me? Thanks for the kinds words man

[@jakjaumrezzamrozenia8134]

Nice! I really "paint in black" kind of remind me of classical music..

as I said earlier - your picking technique is exquisite

Dude, you're super good at guitar... I want a part 3 !

[@guitarist6494]

Thanks for the positive vibes Cameron, I'm pretty sure I won't be making a Vol. 3 but I do plan on making an Top 20 (or even 10) Underrated Clean Riffs, so you can probably see it as a Vol. 3 perhaps ;)

[@_kshitijsingh.1799]

Bro ur riffs are amazing please make more of clean riffs

[@guitarist6494]

Thanks my friend I’ve got more planned

[@peytonloriaux4930]

#3- Don't Fear The Reaper, my favorite song of all time!

[@twedledumb3672]

i seen joe satrani. and i was sold from the start.

[@ChrisLeal]

I love your tones and instruments, they're sounds are so clean. What kind of drums do you use?

[@guitarist6494]

Thanks Chris. Most of the backing tracks used for this I just downloaded online, but in my other videos I use Abbey Road 80's Drummer

[@gronskko]

Dani California and Road Trippin' :)

[@egomaniac406]

Sultans...Best clean riff and solo of all time \mm/

[@prisonerofrnr]

that charvel guitar sounds very nice clean. thought it may struggle as they're more known for hard rock/metal. sounds great. thanks for posting.

[@guitarist6494]

Thanks, glad you liked it. Yeah they're one of the most versatile guitar currently on the market imo. They sound, play and feel amazing

[@smudgy264]

I've never heard that Scorpions one before, i love that riff though

[@skriller7102]

It's a great song

[@JohnPaulHare]

Ah, John Mayer. Belief is one of my favorite songs. The acoustic version is spectacular, too.

[@imherzenspandauer6468]

I should play sultans of swing with your fingers. Besides that good job

[@imherzenspandauer6468]

*You

[@BKF0]

You're right, but Mark Knopfler might be the only guy out there that can play it decently with his fingers.

[@imherzenspandauer6468]

maybe not all, but most of the people that learned classical Guitar can do it. It's not that hard

[@BKF0]

Classical and electric are two very different animals

[@imherzenspandauer6468]

Yeah but I bet I'm not the only one who plays both. It's very cool to because u can combine it like Mark Knopfler does.

[@sreeshaiyer596]

You're very inspiring, please do upload more \m/

[@danielklohr9172]

Awesome vid 👌

[@msd2271]

[@cameronnorman291]

what is going on with your strings at the top of the guitar

[@steelwarrior105]

Steamboat Willie people with floyds cut the ball ends of of the strings so I think he just ran them backwards to save time

[@aidanrobinson465]

I love the capo!

[@mox.kartal]

so glad that SULTANS are there :D

[@ultraakill6687]

Both 'here without you' by three doors down and 'my cusrse' by killswitch engage seriously should have been on one of these vids! Please make a vol.3 and please include both of those songs!

[@guitarist6494]

+Ultraakill I'm probably not going to vol. 3 but my curse will feature in a metal clean riffs list

[@guitarworks4092]

I just hit like for Don't Cry being on this list :)

[@aymanF655]

Same. Izzy is a genius

[@justinc9342]

oh yeah, I was waiting for that sultans of swing!😁

[@AxCYeR]

very nice and lovely tone but the arpeggios of house of the rising sun weren't good at all, you were too fast and when doing the down stroke motion you shouldn't be hitting the high e string, only when you're "coming back" via the up stroke motion for the last three notes (the Am at 4:21 is right but the D and F before and the E after it are wrong again. Maybe you wanna work on these. It's the details here that matter). But apart from that it's great

[@furioussherman7265]

Two complaints. 1: Stairway to Heaven isn't on here. 2: You should have finger-picked Sultans of Swing.

[@xoxo-pp7ru]

Do people actually like sultan of swings ? I taught guitarist just played it to jack off

[@SG-go4gu]

No

[@RealJandi]

Under the bridge wya?

[@slikkarl]

The guitar in Chris Isaaks Wicked Game is truly one of the best clean guitar tones I have ever heard. And I'm a metal guy.

[@NoHealerJustPain]

This one is much better than part one ;)

[@guitarist6494]

I can only agree with you

[@Rugarus]

What is that piece almost like a capo before the first fret, what's that called? I assume it's to reduce static in the string or something.

[@guitarist6494]

Are you refering to the nut ??

[@Rugarus]

It's like at the start of the first fret, I don't see it on other guitars.

[@guitarist6494]

Ohhh you mean the locking nuts. All guitars with a Floyd Rose (or locking tremolo system) have them. They clamp down on the strings and prevent the strings from going out of tune when using the whammy bar

[@krudmuphinstudioz]

Good to see some love for One Last Breath. That's one of my favorite clean intros ever. Would've liked to see Pink Floyd on here somewhere too, Wish You Were Here is the easy choice.

[@tresdanator]

can we appreciate how clean the fretboard is now?

[@UnknownPerson-in3tb]

what the apps u r using for drum

[@guitarist6494]

Depends on the riff/song but usually Abbey Roads 80's Drummer. If it's a softer sounding piece I'd usually just use the stock drummer in Logic

[@concerts70]

Best clean songs i think are dont fear the reaper and dont cry, best sounding

[@samfohrman659]

Nice tone

[@lordbalamory5326]

Nice job on money! Also with come as you are It's actually really simple and great for impressing

[@actonrocks1005]

What is the guitar used, and may I have the link to it I'm thinking of purchasing it maybe

[@kudblythe]

One Last Breath is finger picked. But, Mark's unorthodox finger picking style makes it a little hard for those that learned traditional finger picking.

[@joshuahb536]

What was that red guitar he used for Come As You Are?

[@joshuahb536]

Never mind I found it

[@xXJos1208Xx]

could anyone tell me how he makes the sound at the beginning of the video? Thank you

[@guitarist6494]

The very first thing you hear at the start? If so thats a Divebomb. 80s brah ;) ...You pick a harmonic, above the 3rd fret G string in this case, and just dive down with the whammy bar. Theres plenty of video tutorials on KZbin if yours still stuck with it

[@SergeantZaf03]

Do a top 20 clean moments in metal riffs

[@jayluck8047]

I bought the official individual sheet music for Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven, and Enter Sandman when the Black Album first came out. Tab an' all, with no piano arrangements, it's says at the beginning of Sandman: Acoustic Gtr I: Let Ring Electric Gtr II: Slight Overdrive with Wah My ears have always agreed; it was recorded on an acoustic. I've never been satisfied with any clean tone that electric players have put out when attempting to play that song. Even Rock Sugar's - Don't Sop the Sandman off Reimaginator didn't sound right; but then it wasn't supposed to, not exactly.

[@sydneytimmermans]

Far Behind by Candlebox is also a good one.

[@StampyDog99]

On enter sandman, you need to hold on the 5th on d string, if you listen to the song you can hear it ring through (alternatively you can play the open g and it sounds the same, its just not the way james plays it)

[@guitarist6494]

Correct. I play it that way on my newer Top 10 90's Riffs video

[@yankadiasbernardes8731]

Red Hot Chili Peppers all riffs

[@bipbipletucha]

True

[@Kybalion2011]

I disagree. While RHCP's riffs might be good, that doesn't mean that they can contend with so many other good songs/bands. But a very nuanced opinion you had anyway! :)

[@dualtahunter4043]

The main riff to snow hey oh is amazing

[@diegoboari1]

You finished with gold key, but you forgot one kind of song that does not can be left... Hotel California. Nice video!!

[@guitarist6494]

+Diego Boari thanks Diego, but Hotel California will be featured high on my list of Acoustic Riffs in the near future

[@Daddy_Beef-Cake]

guitarist6494 I have heard it played with an electric guitar when they were live

[@diegoboari1]

Haha... you should put in both videos so! =P

[@danilzubkov561]

How made effect on 2:57

[@guitarist6494]

Palm muting? You dampen the vibration of the strings using the edge of your palm with your picking hand. In other words, lightly rest the edge of your hand on the strings. Make sure its close to the bridge, otherwise you will get a muffled sound. ...I'm probably not the best to explain things but you can easily search, "How to palm mute guitar" through KZbin or Google

[@danilzubkov561]

Thanks for all!!!

[@alanvarela1125]

very nice

[@codygraves3235]

how do you not have something from Johnny Marr on either of these videos?
