[@anthonypioli9936]

Great vid, but I couldn't get over the dog's look of incredible boredom. Lmao!

[@tatjanamarusic3529]

AAHAHAHAHAH TRUEEE

[@redeyegooner]

He's thinking "I could show them licks😒"

[@cheflano3001]

Didn’t saw the dog untill I read your comment. Now I can’t unsee it😂

[@rosewurkz]

​@@cheflano3001same 😂😂

[@BinaryBard64]

He just doesn't want to miss out on any action. Just in case 😂

[@lovesings2us]

Thank you! I love learning about licks and riffs from you and your dog. How amazing that just after you first said "What is a lick?", your wonderful dog stuck his tongue out and licked his upper lip and nose!

[@happyannd]

That was same thought of mine!)))

[@SONUSingh-cp7ps]

😬

[@SONUSingh-cp7ps]

Dog is too naughty bro

[@luciansirbu1784]

Sir, your channel thought me guitar since 5 years ago and thank you for everything..I improved a lot...

[@georgejohnson7637]

Dog: This is a lick too 4:48

[@curtpiazza1688]

Love the dog! He looks so relaxed and content!

[@saadsrequiemforsasuke7041]

6:46 this was the tune Jimmy kept humming manically in Better Call Saul!! It was so funny how later the actual tune played for the ending credits! 7:01 and this tune reminded me dearly of Texhnolyze's beautiful and hearttouching ending guitar theme!!!

[@AussieGirl235]

LICKS: 1:00 RIFFS: 5:39

[@DuckStudson]

Tysm!! I swear 3 quarters of the vid is just him talking about licks😭😭

[@fadelabdulrahman8231]

Who else goes straight into lick n riff when u see the notification 😁 thank you so much safdafari (if thats what ur name is spelled) for your wonderful classes

[@varunagrawal7036]

I do! 😊 His name is ASSAF LEVAVY.

[@usernamesnamesnames]

...the dog looks like how I've been feeling also the explanation is detailed but simple i really liked it.

[@x02newton]

The doggie did couple licks two. I was entertained paying attention at the very small muscular movements on the doggie's face reacting to him playing the guitar. 😄

[@SONUSingh-cp7ps]

Thank you so much Sir 🙏🏻 I didn't knew about the riffs and licks before you explains very well in this video 😊 I got it sir

[@madarame0ghosn]

Love your explanation big bro, thanks for the educating!

[@saabpilot532]

Great video and educational material!

[@ericchin739]

Think of that extra note as the period. You can use the same analogy for other forms of punctuation as well!

[@einooe]

Lick'N'Riff simply means the best guitar teacher in the world

[@damitandabiri7377]

This is a great explanation. Thank you!

[@sidneysmith3426]

“This is a lick” is gonna be in my head now

[@ronaldomiranda4427]

[@dongoard1]

[@Jay-Kaizo]

[@WhooshWh0sh]

1:07 you try to run me through, hold on Think again, don't you know, whatcha startin

[@somedudenameddawn5331]

bruhh me too my mind went to that immidiately

[@RedPillGrimReaper]

So how come at 3:10 you said the bend itself is also a lick, but in the first example you give when you bend the note at the very end you say that’s just a note?

[@petrakachlmeier795]

Danke schön habe sehr viel gelernt von dir

[@AntarikshRajkonwar]

Please sir make a fingerstyle cover of Titanic - The Dream Scene or Unwilling To Leave and Unable To Stay 🙏 It's the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life and is totally different from Celine Dion's - My Heart Will Go On. It's my humble request, please do it ❤️🙏 Lots of love, from India ❤️

[@EllyCamperChic]

[@tonpoto]

Crystal clear , thanks :-)

[@sumanghalemosha4780]

I understood thank you !!!

[@nickkapatais]

Great video. Thanks.

[@paulotoole4634]

Explained at last

[@Aussie.rules69]

Your dog is the star of the show.

[@larryhagman3543]

My cat reacts like this to my playing except she meows at me if I hit high notes and gives disapproving looks.

[@minifarmbarns5303]

The greatest guitar 'phrase' is in the song, 'Inside Out' by Lee Greenwood. It comes up at 2:52. Tell me I'm wrong.

[@heresy3573]

Very clear but I have a question when you bend the coords would that be called a melody or a vibrato

[@aegis4343]

i might be late, but just in case tho : melody is when you have few notes combined. vibrato is a technique to make ur string sounds "vibrate"

[@PedroMAD88]

So music to words, a lick is like pontuantion or a way of saying a sentence the best? And a riff would be the whole sentence itself since is composed by licks to give dynamic and feeling? 😂

[@gauravarya7593]

Thanks So much , you r best

[@hashirsiddiqui8491]

That doge is mood

[@StraightEdgeHeathen]

I've been practicing and practicing and still my girlfriend tells me I don't know how to lick.

[@minifarmbarns5303]

That would be a RIFT.

[@Deadpool-px2nm]

Bruh 😂

[@DakNJaxter]

So could you call Shredding "Compound Licks"?

[@almogozi7460]

Is the bass part in "Under Pressure" by Queen is a lick?

[@Alex_Short]

5:38

[@adamjanha8535]

Pun intended: 5:14 it all depends on how you LICK at it !

[@kingrobert1st]

5 mins in and I still haven't found out what a riff is...patience is running out. I got what a lick was 5 minutes ago. Yes I got the point of what a fucking lick is dammit. So what's the difference between a phrase and a riff since they are both made of licks?

[@Deadpool-px2nm]

I'd explain, but I don't have the patience to do so. Sorry. Just finish the video like everyone else, and then maybe I'll get back to you. If I feel like it.

[@Hassan_MM.]

Finally👌👌👌👍

[@varunagrawal7036]

5:33 Isn't that the intro to one of your band's songs?

[@hekalbachtiar8485]

how to make a riff use the scale? or what?

[@MrTitusDenis]

So canon in d is a riff.

[@SIMONFLAVIO]

Nice❤️❤️❤️

[@piano4928]

So the lick is what you hear every time you watch Spongebob Squarepants.

[@victorchiu7686]

your dog don't look thrilled by your lesson.

[@robertgallagher5285]

You could almost say a Lick is a very short solo!!!

[@saadsrequiemforsasuke7041]

Thank you for explaining riff and lick Soo well!!! At least I can describe the exact part of an electric guitar theme I'm trying to find the genre of!! Specifically, the sudden high-pitched licks in Seishun Kyousoukyoku by Sambomaster and in xxxholic opening 2 which make them extra groovy! I suppose it is called electric funk!
