Thank you I love y'all
I made the 4 first riffs I little bit easier (still pretty challenging) than the others to give some stuff to learn for the intermediate players✌️
For advanced players: 1:47!
Impossible is just a way of talking by the way!
I pre-record my soundtracks to offer the best quality possible but, while filming I play them exactly as I would while recording which takes sometimes more than 50 tries (hos down). I make them in 1-4 sections depends how much I need to change my DI input volume when the riff change strings too much to make sure i’m not clipping. I do some mistakes sometimes because it’s normal to do mistakes, im humain!
Yes, there is harder songs than that but I can’t put them all in one video but you can comment which songs you want to hear in the next video!

"This riff is literally impossible to learn" *nails the riff*
Yeah yeah lol I guess ill take it as a compliment
@@hubertdrapeau my comment was definitely a compliment
Im talking about the other guy
@@hubertdrapeau oh okay
thedog556 it’s not sped up lol. His skill is just bigger than your ego
I don't think I've ever enjoyed being flexed on this hard, this much.
Slakariah shut the fuck up
@@Zakrial Bro you have no proof that you can play it.
Slakariah show off fucking coward get a life and stop trying to defend your imaginary guitar skills
Slakariah how does that make me middle class and a trump supporter lmao, I’m neither
Slakariah suuure buddy
Anyone who films themselves attempting a jason richardson song is either super dumb or super good. This dude nailed it
but which one is he?
@@vegaspony super good
@@vegaspony both but replace “dumb” but with “insane”
That laugh at the end saying: "Ha, I'm never playing that again"
You’re the only one that got it😂😂😂
that laugh at the end is the most mildly insane sounding thing ever. i love it
Ahahahaha it took me 53 try so yeah, the laugh was just necessary😂
@@hubertdrapeau nice lol 👌 great video, man!
@@hubertdrapeau And how many hours to learn? :D
Around a 100 hours
He did jason laugh😂🤣
Nailing any Polyphia song is an absolute treat. G.O.A.T. especially is so satisfying to play when I don’t fuck up the tapping part
Also the harmonics are sooo hard..
@@hubertdrapeau been playing for 6 months. i can do the riff but my fingers still arent fast enough for the end of the song shred lol
Cubic-RegenT you will get there eventually brother
Done it fingerstyle, but not perfectly, maybe this sweep is not the easier to start to learn this technic
Hubert Drapeau any tips on the fast part?
Number 1 should have been:
Trapt - Headstrong
Technique: Power chords in 4/4
yeah, their guitarist can definitely play better than JR. He said so himself, right? XD
My brain can't comprehend
No number 1 should've been smoke on the water
@@vaibhavvasishth4637 And seven nation army as a close second.
@@dersaegefisch 😂
Let's all hand it to Bleed for making this list, despite being basically one note and a bend. Meshuggah know what they are doing.
One note but a lot of suffering lol
That is a young and nut twisting riff.
Djent
impossible guitar riffs: any time jason richardson touches a guitar
true
Tosin Abasi is insane! I got to speak to him outside a show once. Super humble dude!
I wish I could do that, hes my idol lol
I ain’t never see a bad player with a musicman, they just don’t exist
Time to go buy a musicman
@@monkeyclub2100 oh how I wish 😩
aha, you haven’t seen me ;)
Let me introduce you to my friend Crackhead Steve.
@@stevestevestevesteve6466 oh hey, Crackhead Steve, what's up?
66 notes in 4 seconds?? So clean too. Absolutely crazy.
Playing at 16.5 Hz, the amount of notes per second itself is almost a distinguishable note to the human ear xD
It was enough to flex on me with the playing, but that killer tone too? this guy has to learn where to stop.
thanks man, it took me 2 weeks only to create all the 10 tones!
@@hubertdrapeau can you find them as presets on bias fx 2?
Yes man
"this riff is LITERALLY impossible to learn" plays it
th-cam.com/video/29bMQWGnqTY/w-d-xo.html
Bruh... I'm speechless... never subber so fast.
One quick note, LoG play a lot of their riffs above 12 fret, to give the notes a more beefy tone. The Blood of the Scribe riff gets a tad easier when you play those 32nd notes in 15 to 18th fret and the riff pattern overall gets easier to follow. They play it this way live also, probably because it's indeed easier.
I like challenge man🤪
In live session with chris and willie adler you see the guitar technique
Wow!!
Yo guys love your music
World of Warcraft
@@verchielGold what
Thank you so much🙏
Or just any Necrophagist riff
Archspire too.
0011thhour all those archspire boys just laughing in 350bpm lmao
Ó o Djonga mane kkjkk
@@inaceso6767 aleatório dms kkkkk
basically most of tech death
There is still a hidden number in this list....it is....the godliest of all.... Pi by After The Burial 😳😳
Ill note that man
@@hubertdrapeau wrong bro, its smoke on the water (pls kill me)
@@tekkichickenbreast wow bro are you really depressed that would be so sad bro
all of these songs that he is playing are my favorite ones wtf
For real man thats great!
The Jason Richardson riffs kill me 😂there just so insane
😂
Only reason he didn’t put a rings of Saturn riff in there is because the aliens were to much for his brain to handle
Or because rings of saturn is garbage.
David nah u just don’t like rings of Saturn
Nah i was just messing with you. i haven’t listened to too much by them. a good majority i don’t like. I however did enjoy inadequate.
David oh lmao ok thx for not being toxic I guess lmao
Lol Yeah no toxicity just like to mess around a bit. Thank you for not being a complete spazz lol. My biggest issue is it is just too noodly.
Scarlet: sweep
Me: wait... so it's not alternate picking?
Same reaction lol, this riff looks like nothing but hes a pain in the ass to play😂
Same here, I don't think there are any sweeps in the whole song. None where AP wouldn't be more beneficial anyway
12/8 wut? Its simple and fun to play
@@sampojuuti Yeah, 12/8 is the 8th note equivalent of 6/4. I use 6/4 all the time, it's not difficult at all.
@@ThorsShadow I mean, isn't it 4/4 :)
Where is Enter Sandman!?!
It's after 7 nation army
You know the video is serious when number 10 is already insane
Trivium has some of the hardest riffs out there. Between Matt’s immaculate picking technique and big ass hand stretches and Corey’s laser precision riffs that make death look like nirvana it’s so hard to pick up the faster songs
I think Shogun and In Waves has their most hardest and most brutal riffs. The Crusade too, I swear that riff after the clean section is too tricky to get down.
Death are Nirvana???... Obviously Metalcore posers
@@zaidanp7258 dude, don’t bring that crap up here. You just make yourself look like an asshole
I listen to most of these songs regularly. I don't know much about playing guitar but I could tell they were probably difficult to play. King shit learning all that, keep it up guy!
Thanks my friend!
These are some of my favourite riffs.. you killed it.
I’ve been learning for about a year and blood of the scribe was the first I recorded. Seeing it in this list is mad!
Good work 🤟
Holy crap, that’s amazing!! Thanks for sharing your talents!
Goat took me 8 months (I've been playing for 2.5 years now)
Great bud! Keep it up with your practice🧙♀️
That’s just impressive. Best I can do is trivium songs
@@currentlyvibing9916 it's possible with practice! It was my mentality "Tim and me both have hands, if he can do it, I can do it. Giving up in the process would be meaningless. What people see is the result" also the best thing is, it improves your ability to learn. Learning a new Polyphia song of that tier doesn't take longer than quarter of that time now
Whole song or just the intro?
3 months ago bought a strat, was playing classical guitar in music school but it was like 5 years ago, nailed in this riff everything, except fast part, any tips for this?
I've been learning G.O.A.T. since November of 2018 and I've practiced the main riff enough to have it close to perfect. But aside from that the only thing I have down is Scott's riffs during the section after the main riff plays twice. Mad respect for learning all of these monsters dude. Subbed.
Yes this song is such a monster!! I like to both guitars at the same time on the next section also🤪
That is really impressive, keep it up, we all want to see more of this
So many fine riffs I already knew about but never dared to learn how they were played. Nice job!
Absolutely incredible guitar playing man! You’ve earned a new subscriber for sure. Keep up the great content!
That takes A LOT of practice, kudos dude.
Dude yes!! I felt the last one! Glad you did it man!
Mad props to you, this must have been excruciating to practice but so satisfactory as soon as you finished recording this
When you played Revival of Darkness, I was legitimately impressed. Definitely not an easy riff!
Dude, I’m having a hard to time figuring out a way to give you props. This is super impressive. Extremely sweet.
Thank you so much man! If you can help me get some more viewers, it would be great!!
@@hubertdrapeau that would be a patreon...start one buddy!
That laugh of relief at the end. Good job dude 🤘
Bro you NAILED that Jason Richardson riff. Oh my god. Good on you!
your girlfriend is a happy woman i imagine
Yeah. She probably asks him to play Blank space by Taylor Swift lol
@@nikolasimonovski427 Um bud, I don't think that's what he meant...
@@breadjesh ohh well you see i didn't think in that direction. He probably fingers at 8/6 225 BPM then switches to a clean part at 90 bpm in 4/4
@@nikolasimonovski427 bruh, tf
@@nikolasimonovski427 all of the subtlety in this comment is just gone.
I remember that when I first started playing guitar, the first thing I would do when I got home from school to play was go through EVERY riff I knew how to play, and G.O.A.T. was the hardest thing I could play at that point. And now I can shred, and this video still makes me jealous.
Dude, youll get there 100%
The ending made me happy, that was a great job. Keep on going!
The brutally honest text inbetween Riffs was so relatable haha killer job on Hos Down!!
0:48 did anyone else hear
"REDNECK PAIN"
Last one is insane, no way a human wrote that
Jason is definitely not human ahahajaj
It’s fun to watch so much metal played over the left knee with clear, very classical training.
I flibbin loved every minute of this video. Bad ass geetar playin my mans keep it up!
you're a beast men ! Keep it up :D
Thank you so much man!
the first 2 bars of goat has taken me a a week and im at about 60% speed sloppy. u are a beast.
Thanks man!
I learned it in like 2 hours pretty damn good. I don’t even hardly play anymore. None of these really seem impossible. Hard no impossible
@@Elitetiger27 lol looks like jake is a guitar god huh 🤣
@@jake_of_the_jungle9840 keyword: *LEARNED* doesnt mean you can play it lol
Decept1k the whole song no but the intro yes it’s not that hard
i can’t believe im just discovering this video after it’s been up for two years! excellent job man! your technique and skills are insane! 😊 also i appreciate that you included Bleed in this list, i literally had to completely reinvent my alternate picking technique to learn how to play it properly and practice the pattern constantly every day, and i still find myself making mistakes 😅
Blood of the Scribe is one of my favorite songs even as I have solidly placed myself in the camp of Tech Death Elitists. That groove kicks major ass!
You hit a almost impossible harmonic there when you played GOAT cheers man that was sick
Thanks dude, this song is really difficult for that reason
You have a new Sub, my God your a absolute monster on the guitar! Everything you play, you make it look like it's so easy and it's definitely not lol! I can see your channel blowing up, you deserve it!! 🤘💯
Thank you so much! Did you see that part.2!?
@@hubertdrapeau Sorry to be so late, but no I haven't I'm about to right now. Thank you for taking your time out of the day to respond and heart my comment. It really shows you care about your fans. 🖤🤘
This entire Video was just one giant Flex on us...
Well done!
Gotta love that laugh at the end. I feel ya bro
Love the video! One thing though- Scarlett is actually one of the easier periphery riffs (at least for me, it’s one of the only ones I can play lol). But awesome video man!!!!
Meanwhile i just sit here while playing nirvana riffs and smoke on the water.
I would say that playing nirvana and smoke on the water is also fun man, just a different fun
Damn. Good job. Super clean playing.
This was the most awesome riff covers video I've seen
I've been trying to learn the Revival of Darkness riff and it is WAY harder than it looks
Yes it it lol...
This guy is literally the personification of the phrase "IMpossible "
Ahahahahah well thank you!
Your welcome dude! Those are some killer chops!
@@hubertdrapeau do you have any videos where you break down your learning process and like how you practice stuff that you find difficult? If not it would be awesome to see how you approach the more difficult riffs and I think would also help a lot of people learn also!
@@Flangeth wow man, that’s a really good idea, I could absolutely do that!
O muleke é BRABO!
That means you're awesome.
SIIIIIIIICK!
Holy shit! Thats freaking impressive! NEW SUB! 🤘
Great work! Some monster riffage here for sure and like others below have said the tones were really solid. I would suggest working some on left hand economy of motion, fingers are lifting way up off the board. You are fast and fierce now so imagine how much more if your fretting hand wasn't slowing things down. Keep rocking it!
Thanks for the tip man! Got around 20 comments about that so yeah, I really need to work on that.. its so hard the change the way you play after 10 years of experience😂
Great attitude! 😎Totally feel ya on the habits being hard to change. Especially after they have become ingrained and don't necessarily feel like a problem to you at the time. I got "crushed" when i was a "young hot player in my town" and gigging a lot (bass guy then) and older wiser guy broke it down to me that my right hand technique was flawed and holding me back. At first i was hurt and pissed because i thought i was shredding it. I got the emotion out of way and really thought about his point and reworked my technique to immense reward.
Today i've learned that the song called "Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theater has over 108 time signature changes, making it one of the most musically complex songs in Progressive Metal.
Nice.
very cool! thank you for this playing!
Awesome job man, and great selection of riffs. Keep on doing what you are doing
My dude you are really talented, being a person who actually likes learning riffs vs entire songs I'm gonna try some of these that I don't know. Some of these bands I've never heard of either so thanks for that too, any chance of getting a part 3 of this?
Yes man, i’m gonna do a video about polyphia only next but yeah, I will for sure in the future!
You’re a fantastic fucking player, man. Be proud! I’m really good at writing/playing the main meaty riffs of tunes, but I suck at leads and especially sweeps and odd time signatures
Thanks man that’s really appreciated✌️
You're a beast dude. Sick playing!
You absolutely nailed all of these but Hoe’s down you destroyed it. So impressive 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
This is nuts, especially that last one, G.O.A.T. took me a solid 3 weeks at least just to get that first riff down, and that uber fast lick is still kind of sloppy, nevermind the rest of the song yet.
Learn some animals as leaders then go back to tim bet you'll nail the fast part. Much easier.
@@bobbyjones4588 thanks but that's like saying, having problems with high school algebra? go learn vector calculus first and then it'll be a piece of cake by comparison. Or something to that affect. Lol
@@DarkestofTimes good point.
impressive playing man.
next:
Rings of Saturn - Seized and Devour 2.0
Archspire - Involuntary Doppelgnager
Mind blowing skills dude...🤘🤯🤘
Laugh at the end made the entire video better. Nice playing.
4:55 the riffs drove this man insane
I’ve been playing for 3.5 years and I’m making it my goal to learn half of these by 4 years. I already know G.O.A.T and Slayer and I’m learning drowning in slow motion and blood of the scribe. Wish me luck.
Well, im happy I gave you some ideas man!
@@hubertdrapeau Thanks
MOAAARRR OF THIS!!
I loved it.
That Jason Richardson bit at the end... Holy shit!!! You're so good!!!
Been playing for 12 years now and these riffs are most definitely “impossible” haha. I think you should check out the band This Town Needs Guns. Not a metal band but their guitar work is insane. Major props to you man. That G.O.A.T riff annoys the piss outta me!!
i love ttng!
Awesome to see some TTNG love. Listen to adventure, stamina, and anger. That song is difficult as hell
@@isaacthecorncob oh yeah! One of my all time favorite bands. That song is crazy hard. Took about a month to learn it for me. Mostly that insane tapping part. Idk how tim comes up with those riffs in all his weird ass tunings haha
@@johntoland7198 I'm learning it right now, actually, and yeah, the tapping riff is the hardest part about it. The rest is pretty doable for me. Also, the tuning for that song is kinda nutso, even for me. And I always use alternate tunings
@@isaacthecorncob same dude! Yeah the rest isn’t too too crazy once you get you get your finger picking down. And I always play open tunings. Mostly the basic emo/math rock ones. Facgce, daeac#e, dadf#ad and I do mess around in standard sometimes
Bro, I loved this video. I can’t play any of these riffs but the Scarlet one.
About that one... it’s not sweeping at all, is it? And isn’t it in a simple 4/4. Don’t know why but I find that one particularly easy to play.
Anyways, just suscribed, love the videos!!
Wow, great job man! You've nailed all of my favorite songs! :D I'd give much more that one like for that.
Very clean playing sir, keep up the good work
Thanks for watching guys and if you wanna see some even harder riffage.
Part 2: th-cam.com/video/PlSlu2330ok/w-d-xo.html
Polyphia riffs: th-cam.com/video/sQFfL2YWb_8/w-d-xo.html
I thought Hos Down is in Drop A?
Its exactly what it is man!
I got confused cuz in the vídeo it says A-D-A and it should be A-E-A for 7 string drop A
Ho damn I really wrote that? Fuck me
But man. G o a t is easy.. it really is. Some other polyphia songs are way harder.
Great list! Just a few more additions:
Periphery- zyglrox
The diminished tapping shape is easy enough, but in the riff, it is all over the fret board at a high speed.
Dream theater- lost not forgotten
That bridge section right after the intro, which has like every note and chord ever in the most random order ever in the most random time signatures ever.
Polyphia-OD
The sweeps are only downward motion, so you keep have to resetting your hand.
Jason Richardson- titan
....do I need to explain?
Also
Slipknot - Eeyore
Downpick plus tremolo at 244 bpm isn’t easy
Periphery - Marigold
I know lots of people that plays that riff easily but riff that stretches from 3 to 7 fret and then from 7 to 12 at that speed is killing me
I don't even play a guitar but I am still amazed with this, well done!
your probably the cleanest person i’ve seen that good at guitar, and no not your playing but it is clean, talking about your style and basic ness, everyone else went to hell for their guitar lessons 😂
gotta disagree on cafo, i find the sweeps so much harder but i guess that is just not enough practice.
I think the riff after the solo is also harder than that section but yeah, this one is more badass
Agree. But the descending tap - ascending tap lick is the most difficult tapping part in the song.
Techniques : Just everything but at an impossible speed.
LOL !!!
This sounds good! Really awesome jam
Dude you killed it on hos down well done
If you think playing CAFO was hard, think about the people who had to tab it out
I’m with you on that! Playing it is still extremely difficult though
I was like "Aight. None of these are really too hard." Never even heard of the #1 thing. I legit can't move my fingers that fast. Kudos kid
Thanks man!
I have a crush on your hands lol. Perfect playing!
This Ibanez is perfect. Love it so much
And of course great video. You're an amazing guitarist
Good stuff man! Only thing I'd say is straighten out that picking wrist a bit, but dont listen to me. That's just one of my OCD things 😅
Great video :-). since when do you play guitar? and how many hours do you practice a day? I want to be at your level one day
Thanks man! Im practicing around one or two hour every day since 10 years so yeah, I dont have a life lol
Awesome playing Man!!
That Jason Richardson shredding is fucking insane! Really impressive stuff dude!
