I took private lessons for a while and my instructor said he’s seen many guitarists learn the intro to a song but never learn to play the song. He said we do ourselves a disservice by doing this and as a young guitarist he began to make real progress when he would learn the entire song and play along with the record, trying to sound as much like the original as he could. Makes sense to me.
Hey Steve. That's great advice. I've actually made 3 or 4 videos about the importance of learning the entire song. It's a huge confidence builder and without sounding silly or overstating it, I really believe that it leads to more sustained and organized practice. I'm self taught and I remember being in my mid teens (I started playing at 12) and all I could play was the intro to Limelight or Crazy Train or bits to the solo of The Last in Line. I always work through the entire song with my students. If the song has a guitar solo that's especially challenging I'll give them a rhythm part to play. On the flip side of things, I have found that learning to perfect a classic riff each day for a week is a good rut buster. It's amazing how many of the riffs that we think we know have so many subtleties that we can still learn. Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. I really appreciate your time and comment. I hope you have a great day. Mark
Hey Mark, that looks like a Georgia tag. Are you also in the great state of Georgia?
I'm more of having the right progression and melody and rgen making it your own asap but each to their own. In music there should be absolute freedom
Lindsey Buckingham rarely gets the credit he deserves for his catchy yet intricate and difficult guitar work - his work is so very creative and different that learning to play his music is DIFFICULT at best - great guitar player !!
I think that's an excellent call. Everybody I know and most of the people I don't know always say "Jeff Beck is so underrated". I think the fact that nearly everybody considered him to be underrated made him rated exactly where he probably belongs on any kind of best rock guitarist list. Lindsay's work is subtle, he always plays the part that best fits the song and he has amazing chops. He's kinda like the 70s version of that guy George that was in that good 60s band. :)
Thanks for checking out the video. I really appreciate your time. Have a great Sunday. Mark
He was a self trained player .... there always tuff to fallow.
100%. The fact that he sings while playing “Big Love” still amazes me.
Hey guys. Yeah, Big Love is tough to play and singing it on top is very tough. Singing and playing the chorus to Never Going take a lot of coordination and that's not even on the same level as Big Love. When the comment about him being self trained came in, I thought Dennis was talking about me and I was thinking, how did he know that I'm self taught. LOL. Yes, a lot of players with no formal training can be difficult. A great example is Paul's half strum on Blackbird. He just lightly brushes his index finger. Take care. Mark
Difficult guitar work ? LOL
Gonna save this for a watch! I only started learning guitar 7 weeks ago and I'm documenting my entire learning journey on here so as always, this will be super motivational!
I think that's awesome. If you're new to TH-cam and you have any questions, I can at least tell you what not to do. My email is markaranalli@gmail.com. take care and be well. Mark
Very nice Mark!
And to think… I learned I’d love to change the world intro by ear!!! Great job Mark!!
That's good. I remember sitting in my grandparents family room in New Rochelle, NY with a small GE tape recorder and a cassette with one song on it that I was able to grab from the radio. Suite Madame Blue. It took me hours to get the intro down. I was 12, it was 83, no books, no video, no idea what a bm shape was. every note was separate. LOL
Love it. Fun video for sure. Fun to play...I guess that depends on how good one is....LOL.
you rock
Ahhh an honest guitarist 😁😁 yeh me too , for fun 😉😉 great choice mate , subscribed 👌👍👍
I understand you've been running from the man that goes by the name of the sandman...I never understood what those lyrics meant but every time it comes on I sing right along with gusto as if the words are profound. LOL. thanks so much for checking out the video. I'm glad you enjoyed my feeble attempt at being funny. Take care, stay safe, and enjoy your weekend. Mark
way to make the rok-lok proud
Always.
Haha the serious tone of your voice and then the sarcasm 😂
LOL. It's funny. I'm too deadpan for my own good sometimes. My wife always says that I never take anything seriously but I never laugh. She's kinda right. I am always playing jokes, joking around, or being sarcastic, but I'm not a laugher. Maybe since I think everything is funny, I just keep it straight. Thanks so much for watching the video. I appreciate your time and your comment. Take care and stay safe. Mark
Thanks. You did a great job of going from easiest to hardest, more or less, with these guitar parts everybody knows and would love to learn.
Another great video. Some excellent choices. I forgot about some of them but will now add them to my songs. Thanks Mark
Thank you so much John. I sincerely appreciate your time and kind words. Take care and be well. mark
I love this kind of stuff! I've been captivated by Alvin Lee's riff since I first heard it, along with pretty much every other one you covered. Thanks again, Mark, for another completely worthwhile video in your inimitable style.
I really appreciate the kind words and you always supporting. I was listening to Is thick as a brick This morning The algorithm decided that I needed to listen to deep cuts by ten tears after. I bought a space in time on cassette in 88. Mark
@@8MinuteAxe I bought a couple of greatest hits CDs that same year; Jethro Tull 'Original Masters' and Ten Years After 'Classic Performances of'. I still have them (long since ripped to electronic storage though the discs remain in The Vault) and probably appreciate them more now.
Loved this! Thanks so much!
Great Love the format really good job, thank you.
Hey Steve. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a nice comment. I sincerely appreciate your time. I hope you have a great weekend. Take care and be well. Mark
I like that fact you use iconic riffs! Because today music us missing the human element.
For sure! The thing that I really don't like about today's music is the way male vocalists sing. If I want to hear somebody sing like a female, I'd rather just listen to a female. It's the weirdest thing. Thanks so much for checking out the video. Have a great weekend and take care. Mark
Awesome. These are such great choices!! Thank you!!
Great choices on all!!
Nice playin!
Hey Gus. Thanks so much for checking out the video and for the kind words. I appreciate your time. Have a great weekend. Take care. Mark
That is for sharing. I would agree with your choices
Nice selection Mark, thanks!
Thanks so much JJ. I sincerely appreciate your time. Please take care. Mark
I'd say you played 104 - 12-string guitars
Anybody who gives it a shot is in the running. Nobody got it right. :). Good luck!
These are all very nice!!
Hey Robert. Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out and leave a comment. I sincerely appreciate it. I hope you enjoy your Sunday. Take care and be well. Mark
Thanks man. Great stuff.
Thank you Edgar. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I hope you have a great Sunday. Take care. Mark
Love Alvin Lee “Ten Years After” back when like 1967 unbelievable musical world.
Man, your videos get better each time. These were fantastic choices!
Here Comes the Sun, intro to Crazy On You, Drive (Incubus) all got cut.
Great video. There are several that I will start working on to learn and several that I can now improve on. I really do appreciate your time and effort that you put into making your videos. Keep them coming.
Hey, Michael, I'm glad you enjoyed it. This one was a lot of fun to make. Take care and enjoy the rest of your week. Mark
Excellent choices, enjoyed your video very much. Thank you.
Thanks so much Amanda. My better half is Amanda as well. :)
Awesome selection of great acoustic tunes.
"I think it's important to remind ourselves of why, most of us, picked up the guitar in the first place... To get chicks!!" 🤣🤣🤣THAT, takes me back, because it really was!! I was 16, and the only music i'd listen to was mostly rap and a bit of techno, i even used to breakdance, because like every teenage sheep, i had to be "cool"... but when i got my very first job and my very first pay, i wanted to buy something cool... Then the guy i was working with brought me to a pawn shop to check if they had cheap tools for our trade, found none, but when i spotted the guitars i thought " that'd pickup chicks if i learned to play even just a little..." went over, checked a few, and found a cheap green one for 100$, and thought "yeah definitely!". It's after that i started listening to old classic rock and metal songs to learn by ear, and started to appreciate them more and more for the talent some musicians have!! My music taste slowly shifted, and Metallica eventually became my favorite band! 20+ years later, Metallica's still my favorite band of all time, and my music playlist is 95% metal and rock, and can barely tolerate any kind of computer generated music for too long, and only have a few that became classics in my list... Worse thing is, it never really did pick me up any chicks, because i started dating almost every girlfriend i've had, between now and then, before they even knew i had a guitar!!! 😅😂🤣😎🤘
Me too. Every girl I've dated didn't know I played guitar until several dates in. I can't say that in between girlfriends that I didn't meet a few women at a club but for the most part my music career and the women in my life have been completely separated. Now I can't even get my wife to come to a show unless it's less than 30 minutes away. LOL. It's funny that you mention break dancing. I was just telling my stepson about the time Tom Dudek busted out all the latest break dance moves at the 9th grade dance. My point was that this was 1986 and was the turning point when dances no longer had bands. :(. I really appreciate you checking out the video and your thoroughly enjoyable comment. Please take care and enjoy the rest of your week. Mark
Great list! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Andrew. I really appreciate your time and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great weekend. Mark
Great choices beautiful demonstrated. Thank you!
Great choices, though I think “Dust in the Wind” is a better starting point for Travis-picking than “Landslide”. Maybe the pinch pattern makes it “next step”?
Maybe some Gord I’d add, but still some damn good choices.
Hey Rob. I do a lot 12-string on my channel and I've covered several Gordo tunes (most just snippets like this although I did go through a phase where I tried to interpret different classic covers and Wreck of the EF was on the table. I even got a pedal player. Unfortunately, it was just too repetitive in cover version. The original is one of my all time favorite songs. Has been for 40 years. Yeah, my order leaves a bit to be desired. I didn't think so many people would see it so quickly. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and take care. Mark
Great playing bro, Ty
Hey Ty. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your time. Have a great Sunday. Mark
I could have listened to another 10, and another 10, and another 10.......Thanks!!!!
I get to listen to all of them and then make cuts. LOL.
Mark, thank you for the continued inspiration. Every now and then I find myself going back to the old standbys. Sometimes I do not want to be challenged. Your video gave me the nudge I needed.
Hey Dennis. A great "measured" challenge is trying to play the riffs you know well flawlessly. One of the hardest things to teach and to learn is how to be mindful while you're playing. For me that holds especially true with the 12 string. It's easy to miss the pair if I'm not focused on what I'm doing. Thanks for checking out the video. I really appreciate your time and support. Mark
Buckingham is so underrated .
You had me at Melissa
I offed me at Renee Zellweger
Thank you. Great collection of fun songs and a reminder that I need another guitar. Subscribed!
Another great video, Mark. Thanks. Probably tough to narrow it down to just 10, but perfect choices.
I don't know how I missed this. A belated thank you!
Love it. Subscribed
Hey Tim. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your time and kind words. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Take care and stay safe. Mark
I was working on 'I can't dance' by Genesis last night. It makes sense that there was Genesis related song on here haha
Hey Eric. I can't dance is a good one. That's an underrated tune. I passed on seeing them on this tour. Poor phil looks like Captain Ahab. Take care and be well. Mark
Good collection of tunes! Thanks
Your time and kind words are very much appreciated. I hope you have an awesome weekend. Stay safe and take care. Mark
Soul crushing riffs! 😄That's great.
for sure. lol
Wonderful, thank you.
Hey thanks. I really appreciate the kind words and for your time. I hope you're having a great weekend. Please take care and be well. Mark
Good stuff, but showing the tab on split screen would be even better.
I’m going through all your videos now, you got me hooked
Hey Keith. Thank you for supporting. I sincerely appreciate your time. Let me know if you need tabs or help with any of the tunes. My email is markaranalli@gmail.com. I make a huge effort to return all emails within 72 hours max usually quicker. Have a great weekend and take care. Mark
Nice selection. And for the vanguard… all of them! You played all of them😊
Thanos so much for checking out the video. I really appreciate your time and comment. It's amazing how much easier it is to perform on camera when I actually warm up a little and practice. Lol. Take care and be well. Mark
These are really ten great riffs. Some I know and some I don't. I'm going to take the time to learn them all. Thanks for this lesson.
Some great ideas there! Many thanks👍
Great job!
Hey Mike. Thanks so much for checking it out. I appreciate your time and kind words. I hope you have a great Sunday. Please take care and be well. Mark
Those are definitely some of the best riffs ever created on acoustic guitar! Thanks for the video 🎶
Mark, Thank you. I am working on the 10 fun acoustic riffs. Great tunes to learn with.
Awesome riffs!! ❤
Snippity doo dah
Afternoon Mark✌
Hey Jim. Thanks so much for ALWAYS supporting. Mark
Good selection of songs, they are all above my skill level at the moment, but give me some time and I will get there
I love this attitude. Just try to move the needle forward a little bit everyday. Email me if you have any questions or need help with anything. Have a great weekend and take care. Mark
Great picks man! 🎼🎼🎼🙏
Hey Paulie (I had an uncle and a cousin named Paulie). Thanks so much for checking out the video and for the kind words. I really appreciate your time and comment. Please take care and stay safe. Mark
Saved!
What are we saving? Time hopefully?
What a great list. All great songs. I need to look for some tab for them.
Great production! Fast, clean, easy to stay with, great presentation. specially about our motives.
Thanks for the fun! Those certainly were. It might be interesting to ask guitar players out here what songs they might have on their own such list.
Hey, in other news, I finally pulled the trigger and bought that Vangoa 12 on Amazon. It's a bit easier to play than my vintage 1970 Guild F512 (bought used in '71), and a whole lot lighter too.
It's also better quality than my vintage 1968 Harmony 12, which was about the same price back then, and that would be much more in today's $$.
So overall, I'm loving it so far. Haven't yet had the chance to plug it in yet; my housemate says I can borrow her portable amp to try it out, and I'm gonna take her up on that.
(It's my first pluggable guitar, so I'm gonna have a whole new universe to learn now.)
Stay double-coursed! (The 6 sounded fine on this list, though.)
Fred
Hey Fred. I feel like we haven't talked in quite a while. I'm glad you're enjoying the Vangoa. The best part is that they stand by their product and genuinely care (if they don't they've perpetuated a Herculean ruse). Plugging in doesn't usually work out too well unless you have an Anthem or equivalent pickup that costs more than most guitars. Taylor went all in with their ES2 system. 1000 to 10000. doesn't matter. You get an ES2. Keep in touch. Mark
@@8MinuteAxe "I feel like we haven't talked in quite a while." Maybe that's because we haven't ;-)
I've been away from YT for a spell; every once in a while, life latches onto my free time.
Anyhow, as I mentioned, I've never been "plugged," so I'm pretty much ignorant of the lingo and the equipment. (ES2?) Are you saying that the Vangoa, with its female plug and the cable packed with it, care about what the other end of that cable is plugged into? Is there some issue with impedance matching? Do I have to install something else on the guitar or what? Why would they do that?
"You get an ES2." - Is that an instruction or a statement?
I won't ask you to take the time to answer all this or give me some grand tutorial (which I probably need); rather, is there some resource you could point me to for that?
Any little hint or pointer will help. Thanks!
Fred. We are DEFINITELY kindred spirits. I would have taken that and ran with it in a very similar way. And as things usually are as Friar William of Occam says they are, ES2 is Taylor's proprietary pickup system. Expression System 2nd Generation. E. S. 2. :). The Vangoa pickup is just as good as any other one out there save the high end ones that usually use a piezo, a microphone, and a sound board vibration detector (that's not the proper name but that's the best way I can describe it). If you are ever looking to install a pickup, universally the LR Baggs Anthem is supposed to be the best. I've never owned one so my intel is as good as every else who owns a computer! :)
Great job on Never Goin Back Again! Famously hard song! :)
Hey brother. The 3 over 2 pattern definitely takes some work. :)
Great lesson, thanks
Fantastic stuff there Mark, nice to see a 6 string video!
My fingers like it better too Charles. Thanks!
Well done, Mark.
Thanks David. I appreciate your time and kind words. Have a great week. Mark
great lesson thanks
If I knew this video was going to do so well I would have done some teaching instead of just playing. Of course, then the algorithm would probably have buried it by now. Thanks so much for checking it out. I really appreciate your time. Take care and have a great weekend. Mark
Great vid and playing
You sparked some memories. Thanks 👍
Really fun vdo to watch. Thanks 👍
Yes, I do vudu and voodoo
@@8MinuteAxe Keep doing that voodoo that you do so well.
Beautiful guitar, today, Mark!
Back from the dead. You dropped out big time. Rok-Lok is doing well and getting a little bigger everyday. Email your address and I'll run some over tomorrow and put them in your mailbox.
Incredible selection/ def gonna look for these tabs
Well done as always! Sols Hill is a difficulty of 7??? Maybe triple that for me...
I don't know what to compare it to. Compared to Never Going Back Again it's a 7. Never Going Back Again compared to something like Angelina is a 4. It's all relative.
Excellent video sir.
Hey EM. Thanks so much for checking it out. I really appreciate your time and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a great evening and take care. Mark
The riff to "Ramble On" is excellent, as well! Great selection! Thanks!
Great video, Mark! I play half of these! Gotta work on Norwegian Wood, I think! :)
Norwegian Wood is well worth the time. 30 years later and it hasn't gotten old yet. And it always kills at parties, with the family, etc.
Finally a list with some good songs that I haven't heard recommended a million times already. Thanks for this!
The transition graphics between the songs was pretty cool too! 😊
Thanks Sean. My favorite is the one that takes the entire frame and turns it into 128 frames. These are templates in Davinci Resolve. Probably too much playing around. I'm glad you enjoyed that part. Thanks so much for your time and comment. Please take care and be well. Mark
Never going back again is an absolute stinker to play my fingers just can't keep up with the thumb timing 😭
Hey Nigel. Yeah, the 3 over 2 pattern is tricky. The easiest way to do it is to read it (if you don't read music, read the tab). That will help you line things up better. Start slowly, one bar, even one beat (pinch or single note) at a time. Like Tommy Emmanuel says, anybody can play one note. You build from there. Using a slow down device helps too. I taught this to a couple of my students back when the Amazing Slow Downer still worked with Spotify. 40%, 50%, whatever it takes and slowly turn the tempo up. I'm sure you can get it if you want to. Thanks so much for checking out the video. I really appreciate your time. Enjoy your weekend and take care. Mark
I’m trying to learn it and it hurts my brain lol
First one also sounds a lot like Something to Believe In..Poison..
Give me somethin' to believe in. Haven't heard that in a few years. Roll back to 1988. My friend Bill and I were watching MTV. We hated hair metal. This band comes on and I immediately start trashing them for their name and dumb looking lead singer. By the middle of the song I'm thinking this isn't bad. By the solo I'm like, holy sht. by the end I had just heard Sweet Child for the first time. Bill and I looked at each other and said "well, they're kinda good." LOL. Thanks for checking the video out. I really appreciate your time. Take care. Mark
Enjoyed this video look forward to one with your new fiber travel guitar
This comment just showed up. YT always full of surprises.
Awesome

nice work! thanks
Awesome video.
Thanks dude. :o
THANX, Bro'/! All fantastic riffs/songs! I'm gonna make a playlist of all 10! Simply exquisite
guitar songs!!
Hey Billy. Thanks so much. I really appreciate the kind words. One of the things that's inevitable with any success on YT is the haters. I don't understand why people get so angry about a video they choose to watch and at people they've never met. It blows my mind. Anyway, I sincerely appreciate the positivity. Take care and have a great weekend. Mark
Holy moly great selection!! Surprisingly great!!! Number 11 "oh well!" Fleetwood mac!
Yeah, you nailed it, I also play all of the tunes you played in this video, and you play them accurate and well.
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE ROK-LOK!!!!! Didnt know that it was yours. so cool! It is awesome, no more changing straps!!! Thank you!!!
Hey man. Thank you! That's so great to hear. My partner and I worked countless hours to finally get it to market. 3 years ago I never intended to invent a strap lock but I couldn't believe that something like it didn't already exist. If you have time, send me a video of you using it to mark@theroklok.com. Or even a pic would be great. We are trying to work happy customers into our ads as we want this to be about making life easier for real guitar players. I hope you have a great weekend. Please take care and be well. Many thanks. Mark
Juat randonly found this video, and i love that you're open to helping those who want to learn a specific song. And you are correct. I do use part of dust in the wind as a warm-up. Funnily enough, it's about all i can do anymore aince i haven't played in months
In the Emmerson Lake and Palmer song you have an incorrect note where you play the F with a G on top is correct but when you slide the whole thing up to a G you are putting an A note on top when it should be 2 notes lower or a G on top
Hey Robert. You are 100% correct. I was originally going to rerecord all of the performances and in the interest of time I decided to wing it and do them all live. It does make a difference melodically and it's a good catch on your part. I appreciate it. Thanks so much for checking out the video. Please take care and have a great weekend. Mark
Any chance you can time-mark that point of the video for us? :)

Hello mate, I just came across your channel and instantly liked & subs ! After 40 years of Bass register but with a passion for acoustic guitar I've slowly started to make progress (On a Joe Strummer Fender - Campfire thing) learning over the past year. I love the sound of that Taylor you play and although most of these riffs are beyond me I'm still inspired to keep going. My latest efforts, Nobody laugh here alright! , Is, Here comes the sun and simply time on the fretboard with you tube's assistance is slowly paying off. I'm going to delve into your channel now and much gratitude to you for the sparks of motivation. Cheers SV
Nicely done! Wouldn't it be a win-win if you posted your tab so we could access it and you wouldn't be flooded with email? ...just a thought
Nice selection!
What model Taylor is that? Sounds like a great background rhythm guitar for recording.
Hey Bernie! It's a Taylor 410. I own a several Taylors. I'd rather be playing a smaller model but you just can't beat the sound of a dreadnought. Thanks so much for checking out the video. I appreciate your time and kind words. Take care and have a great weekend. Mark
Quality selection of song well done 👍
Thanks again for another video that reminds us of all the great songs for acoustic! Did you leave a link to the 15% off code?
Hey Gary. I did only because you reminded me to!! Many thanks for that. I hope you're having a great weekend. Mark
Another great video Mark. I saw Alvin and 10 years After at the Fillmore East, I think in 1970. Hey it's been 23 years and I was "aware" of what was happening there, unlike the majority of the audience. 😉
thanks again.
very nice. thanks!
Fantastic selection.
Hey Steve. Thanks so much for checking the video out and the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate your time. Have a great weekend and take care. Mark
I'm a bass player. I have a 4 string Fender Jazz Deluxe and a 5 string Guild Pilot.There are classic EMG active pickups in both of them.I recently bought an Epiphone J-45EC Studio Acoustic . The tighter finger patterns are hard to get after playing bass for 40 years. @@8MinuteAxe
Hey Steve. I'm sure. Swirching from an SG to a tele is a significant adjustment, let alone a 5 string bass to an acoustic.
Great songs and content,really love the classic rock songs from the 70's and 80's thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge 😅😅
Great choice of riffs Mark!
Wild World by Cat Stevens is a fun acoustic one to play for me!
The verses are one of my favorite chord progressions and the chorus has some cool ascending and descending riffs.
Hey Andy. I loved that song as a kid. I don't think I've ever performed that one. Good one for sure. Thanks brother. Mark
