I'm not gonna lie. I paused this video at 0:36 just to comment this. I like this guy. he doesn't seem stuck up and snobby like the rest of the TH-cam guitarists I've seen and he keeps it real. " I'm not even gonna pretend like I know the rest of that solo" 😂

When he says for beginners I think he means riffs that teach you valuable skills that you will use throughout your playing not just the easiest riffs that sound cool
I'm an old-school bluesy/rock guitar player and I've been playing for over 30 years. When I saw the link for this video, my old fart brain immediately thought, "Oh wow. Here's another long-haired douche who's just going to play fast and not teach anything". I was totally wrong, you ARE NOT a douche, and I always like it when I'm proven wrong in this manner - lol. I've know all of these riffs for decades, but if I believe in anything about guitar, I have a very firm belief in helping bring up new players so the traditions can continue. You've done an excellent job here. I'm going to e-mail my 13 year old son a link to this video and tell him to git workin' on these riffs. You've inspired this old dog to learn some new tricks. THANK YOU!!! :)
They aren't beginner songs dude. They are easy once you get going but are not for beginners. My point being, dont let it put you off, keep on digging in and you will be awesome.
imo they are begginer riffs, but you not being able to play it doesn't mean you're below the begginer level. I've been playing for a year and still consider myself a begginer
I've been playing for almost 5 months now- and let me tell you, it's an awesome feeling when you notice you actually understand what is being taught 😂😂
this is exactly the type of video I was looking for . things that are not just necessarily teaching me riffs , but tools to be used later on as I progress with guitar. This is perfect man. Thank you
Rob G don't give up it takes awhile to get your fingers to stretch and get used to the movements. Took me two years of constant practice to be confident with my fingers as well as strengthening them to handle the demand
I never thought about learning more than a feeling but after seeing this I can see that it is a great finger placement, picking, and how to learn to get those clean notes on the frets. Thanks! Jus learning that has helped me a lot in other things too
Learning how to play Rock You Like A Hurricane will make you feel like a million bucks! I learned how to play it when I was very young and it's a good "go to" song for impressing your buds, or more importantly...the ladies! Lol Power Chords + Distortion + Volume = Warm and fuzzy feelings inside + Confidence + Great sense of accomplishment! Thanks for the awesome recommendations RB! You rock, my man!
Muggly X no they won't guitar hero is so much easier than actually guitar, instead of playing only five notes you have to space your fingers, constantly moving up and down the neck and you have to worry about picking, sweep picking, alternate picking etc.
Thanks for your experience sharing all around the world,im in Melbourne Australia. The power of music. Please play some love gun for kiss fans if you get time.
youtube guitar guy, i love you!! it had been a dream of mine to play guitar since i was little, and i actually got my first guitar in 2020 but somethings were happening and i lost all my motivation and honestly never knew where to start, but recently i’ve been getting a lot of motivation and seeing this made me seriously grab my guitar and actually try to learn it!!
I bought my first electric guitar because I've been trying to learn for so long and just watching this and hearing you play on of my favorite songs, thunderstruck, I feel so discouraged 😂😂 you're so good at it and it feels like I'll never achieve that
Robert Baker I'm confused because the way you show on the whole tutorial for More than a feeling is played differently than this. Which one is correct? You say it starts picking " D B G E" but in the full song video you made for guitar control you say "D G B E" for the intro picking. I'm lost
Bobert..I know this is an old vid of your. I've been playing a year now Dec 2017-2018. I can play this now and I'm so thankful for your inspiring video's. I have learned so much and have many yoga pants now too. Thank you. God bless!!
I love the More Than a Feeling bit, It's so much fun and great practice for me! I wouldn't consider myself a full on beginner, but I'm just barely past that. I'm still working on the single note picking and it helps a ton. New subscriber for sure!
Good work my friend! I wish someone had pointed out to me when I was first learning that not all learner riffs had to be so plain and not lead to better playing. It's great that you explain so clearly that there are good reasons to try and learn songs that will help you pick up other songs easier in the future. I hope your videos inspire player to keep developing and grow their playing styles.
Thank you for this lesson..as you implied there are so many beginner lessons that are boring but people make them because the songs are easy. You've put some thought into this and are teaching some transferrable skills. Not that the other lessons are completely useless..but I find this to be more useful. and inspiring. Thanks Again.
I never even imagined this would happen, where a guitar guy was teaching riffs and I would know one of them already. I already knew how to play that Ozzy riff, what a trip! Edit: I know day tripper too!! And I wrote "what a trip" before he got to that riff...what a trip!
Man I tried learning to play but I just never got it, this video is inspired me to try it again but keep up theses videos! I'm excited to see what else you can put out!
Bobby Hall I was the same way! I played for about 6 months when I was seven and then just gave up. I started up again when I was 12 and now that I'm 13, I'm working on learning to shred metal songs and guitar is the best thing that has ever happened to me! Never give up on music! That is one thing I've learned in my 13 years of being alive.
My nephews all pitched in and bought me an SG guitar. The first song or riff I tried to learn was Thunderstruck. The most common advice I've received is learn to play the riff slowly and the speed of the riff will follow. Well I got the slow part down but I can't seem to learn how to play up to speed. I get so frustrated that I put the guitar away for awhile and then after some time I try again but same result.
I liked this video because of the intro solo you were doing. ONE OF THE BEST EVAR!!! I paused the video to play this in my head before I started watching the rest of the video, then listened to that song afterwards.
Brian Kaiser Yeah, it's all about working on the ring finger and pinky. They're the two weakest digits, the ring finger's tendons are connected to the middle finger so making it operate independently is tough, and some songs like "Born to be Wild" need a real stretch from the pinky.
I've picked up a guitar lessons a couple of weeks ago. I'm gonna give those riffs a go. Even though my fingers are sloppy and uncoordinated as hell, yet.
I have been binge watching guitars for two weeks now because I have nothing to do this summer but play all my nice new guitars I bought. I have run into three different videos now I like them I subbed and I’m ready to giver! Boston one of my faves!
Hello from Wales 🏴👍 Loved the video, and like the fact you took the time to show how you did each riff, not like a lot of guys on here who just take the opportunity to just show off🙄 Great playing, I've also liked and subscribed 👍
I am honestly pretty happy you made this video. I'm relatively new to guitar, coming from playing bass for about a year-ish, and having a "beginner" video that actually has half-decent riffs is actually pretty nice. Greetings from America.
The nice thing about those riffs is you can record a little loop with them and work on your pentatonic leads when you get to that stage. I think Daytripper is actually in C instead of E. Not as beginner in C, though. Plus it has another really good riff that you can use for blues kinds of things after that first riff that is actually easier than the first riff. Come Together is another good Beatles riff that is beginner friendly. Good video! Thanks.
William White any guns n roses solos bud, if your total new to soloing start off with knocking on heavens door or maybe patience if you want an acoustic solo. Slash solos are amazing but to really learn to solo well learn what position each lick is being played in and figure out how he's connecting all the boxes together. Once you have the boxes figured out put on a jam track and start soloing. Use them licks you learnt from knocking on heavens door or any other songs uv learnt and just play them with different jam tracks in different keys and in different order to mix it up a bit, your ear will tell you what sounds good. Have fun with it man
brendandoherty9379 thanks for the tips. Haven't really played any slash solos. I'm not new to soloing but new to shredding. I've been working on Nuno bettencourts solo from play with me. I got it down just not up to his speed.
William White m Dude that's awesome, if your into playing solos like that you should start following Claus levin on TH-cam, man this guy is an amazing neo classical teacher. I started his neo classical academy 12 week course 2 weeks ago it's expensive but you can pay monthly for 4 months that's what I did. But I'm telling you it's worth it your playing will reach a different level instantly. He also has a free course on the site aswell you should try that before you decide to buy the 12 week course and see if you like it. I have no ties to him I'm not a sales man. But check him out for sure man I think ul love the lessons. He's took my playing to a whole new level very fast
Intermediate player...now...started playing when I was about 14, pretty much put it down in my mid to late 20s, in my 40s now. Struggling with bad habits I picked up while learning all those years ago. I can attest to the importance of learning chords first (you only need 4 after all), basic scales before solos & stuff (I learned entire solos without understanding the theory behind them, how they fit into the key of the song, etc.) and my most important bad habit is not using my pinky finger. Always found a way around it which now makes it harder to actually use it, which makes lead playing SO much easier. The other thing I wish I learned early was the importance of alternate picking and finger picking (mainly for acoustic). And I still can't execute a proper bar chord most of the time, lol.
My forearm muscles fatigue from the workout of riff 2 Crazy Train bc of the persistent finger reaching especially from 1st finger on fret 2 to pinky (4th finger) on fret 5, making it an excellent finger, hand and forearm conditioning warmup/exercise. And I love riff 1 rock you like a hurricane, for it is so simple, yet makes me sound god-like. Tomorrow I’ll practice riffs 3 and 4, etc
brother soy nuevo en tu canal gracias por los arpegios las pentatonicas y estos riffs se te entiende muy bien saludos desde venezuela estas clases ayudan bastante
been playing for awhile, but pretty much just chords. Wanna try this stuff out (my songs need it) and am looking for a starting place (not just finger practice) and I am so glad I landed here...THANKS
just being going through your5 easy riffs to get me back into it the fingers dont work as gud since breaking both wrists in 2002 but we try its my hobby great stuff robert
Hi Robert, awesome tips. You sound like one of the best tutors on here. However, one of the main problems beginners encounter and it is a major deterrent is the finger sores. A common mistake that most guitar tutors make is advising pressing down hard on the strings by the fingertips until they hurt. Can you cover that please?
tbh i dont know how to play the guitar but i wish i knew, but for some reason i still enjoy watching your vids hoping to one day actually learning the riffs
Νικος Χ it all depends on practice and what you start with. I remember when I started I learned to play the intro to snow by rhcp before even learning some basic riffs like smoke on water etc. I couldn't play it perfect but it was like 80% speed. There are some easy riffs out there that I still haven't even played just out of not wanting to.
Thank you so much for this! I have been playing for a very very long time and I still don't know my chords. I can play a lot of stuff but don't know what chord it is. I'm glad you put that out there. I could have been so much better if I would have learned them.
Distortion or not who doesn't love More than a feeling such a classic song and great intro. and not as hard as I thought after watching you. All good riffs thanks for the smoothie. LOL
The first riff I ever learned was Blood and Thunder by Mastodon. 😂 I frequently played Guitar Hero Metallica so I already had the feel for it and I built my picking speed with GH.
hu he must of changed his description cos it was this: PROUD USER OF Acacia Guitars www.acaciaguitars.com/ Dragon's Heart Guitar Picks. www.dragonsheartguitarpicks.com/ ClearTone Strings www.cleartonestrings.com REVV Amps revvamplification.com/ Analysis Plus Cables www.analysis-plus.com
As a guitarist who was a beginner in the late 70’s I knew all of these except Thunderstruck (never bothered with that one by the 90’s). But I have to point out an error in More Than A Feeling. The actual recording has the 7th note (which you played as the second A) as the open string G instead, as a leading tone into the C9 chord.

Roger Panoz hi
Luke Stuerken hi
Roger Panoz well yeah that's like the hardest song ever, DUH
it's basically a given that a beginner knows it
David Calloway
Haha, right!
You're just a beginner for a very short while,
but then most players are intermediate for ...what? 10, 20, 30 years ; )
If these are for beginners, I've found a stage before beginner. I can't play these. Haha.
They aren't beginner songs dude. They are easy once you get going but are not for beginners. My point being, dont let it put you off, keep on digging in and you will be awesome.
imo they are begginer riffs, but you not being able to play it doesn't mean you're below the begginer level.
I've been playing for a year and still consider myself a begginer
i bought electro guitar yesterday and its too easy for me
@@DanteHanma everyone is different. finger dexterity especially
Aidan Goodwin phew....I was sure I was the only one that was lost on the first note! As Charlie Brown says Arrrrrrrggggh!
Fair warning; I'm not a guitarist, I'm a drummer.
My comment: that's a good lookin guitar, man. love the color and finish.
Just so you know, when you were explaining thunderstruck, you said fifth fret, but you played (and I'm pretty sure meant) seventh fret.
Thank u so much
Yeah I noticed that too
I've been playing for almost 5 months now- and let me tell you, it's an awesome feeling when you notice you actually understand what is being taught 😂😂
can we just take a moment to apreciate how sic your guitar looks and sounds?
Alex Suxiashvili. Seymour Duncan Baby,,,,
Alex Suxiashvili (sic)
That blue guitar is gorgeous
I'm a gray haired beginner and love your instruction! Glad I came across your station.
I tried these riffs on an acoustic guitar. Neighbours called police.
this is exactly the type of video I was looking for . things that are not just necessarily teaching me riffs , but tools to be used later on as I progress with guitar. This is perfect man. Thank you
just realized how dope crazy train sounds slowed down
SO....HEAVY!
It sounds like marilyn mansons cover of sweet dreams
Thumbs up for the Boston riff. Every song of theirs contains classic must learn riffs IMHO.
I'd love to try these but my fingers won't cooperate worth a crap.
start playing it slower in little chunks, then work on putting them together and then start speeding it up
Rob G don't give up it takes awhile to get your fingers to stretch and get used to the movements. Took me two years of constant practice to be confident with my fingers as well as strengthening them to handle the demand
Rob G You look like Franck Ribery
my pinky just doesn't work lol
i thought that too, you need to build it up almost like a workout
I love this dude he’s so chill and positive and helpful
I never thought about learning more than a feeling but after seeing this I can see that it is a great finger placement, picking, and how to learn to get those clean notes on the frets. Thanks! Jus learning that has helped me a lot in other things too

bruh
Muggly X no they won't guitar hero is so much easier than actually guitar, instead of playing only five notes you have to space your fingers, constantly moving up and down the neck and you have to worry about picking, sweep picking, alternate picking etc.
Salty The Fry, actually, GH overcomplicates most songs, so its actually a bit easier in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic
Scorpio Fire Snake what begginer is gonna be sweep picking?
I'm a noob to guitar and I just learned the Boston - More Than a Feeling intro in less than an hour. You are the man. [ Subbed]

Your definition of "beginner" is somehow different from mine.
And mine ....😕
@@TheyfoundRickGrimes im some weeks in why is it sooo hard to play it with pinky finger :(
Mine too 🤦♂️ I’ve been playing for years and I’m not this good

I liked this video because of the intro solo you were doing. ONE OF THE BEST EVAR!!! I paused the video to play this in my head before I started watching the rest of the video, then listened to that song afterwards.
i learned to play crazy train hitting the open A string instead of the 5th fret on the low E string. it all works though. 😉
you should get used to working out that pinky tho!
True. Especially just learning to play. Ive seen a few people that taught themselves avoid using there pinky.
Brian Kaiser Yeah, it's all about working on the ring finger and pinky. They're the two weakest digits, the ring finger's tendons are connected to the middle finger so making it operate independently is tough, and some songs like "Born to be Wild" need a real stretch from the pinky.
Also Thunderstruck is a very nice training to the pinky, played this stuff for an hour and feel a little more comfortable with the pinky
I've picked up a guitar lessons a couple of weeks ago. I'm gonna give those riffs a go. Even though my fingers are sloppy and uncoordinated as hell, yet.

Rob what guitar and amp are you using this video? Good job teaching btw!
Alan L he is using a guitar made by acai that's all I know
Oh ok thanks
It's an Acacia guitar and it seems to me that he's pluggin into a Fractal Axe-Fx..Follow the red cable ;)
Just the simple fact you started with Scorpions on your first riff ,you hooked me straight away
Can you make a video or a suggestion of certain solos that everyone should learn to help progress?
William White any guns n roses solos bud, if your total new to soloing start off with knocking on heavens door or maybe patience if you want an acoustic solo. Slash solos are amazing but to really learn to solo well learn what position each lick is being played in and figure out how he's connecting all the boxes together. Once you have the boxes figured out put on a jam track and start soloing. Use them licks you learnt from knocking on heavens door or any other songs uv learnt and just play them with different jam tracks in different keys and in different order to mix it up a bit, your ear will tell you what sounds good. Have fun with it man
brendandoherty9379 thanks for the tips. Haven't really played any slash solos. I'm not new to soloing but new to shredding. I've been working on Nuno bettencourts solo from play with me. I got it down just not up to his speed.

Why does my guitar sound lighter/less heavy rocky as compared to his? Is it my amp setting?
You probably need to overdrive the amp

Jacob Bucherer w guitar?s
It's not really hard at all, it's just played really fast.
Rock you like a hurricane was the first song I learned like 35? years ago! highly recommend.
Totally Cool!!!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
:)
Look at this man's flowing golden hair
Only clicked on the video because his guitar looked cool
Hey Robert, I just got my first electronic guitar and I saw your video and I am going to use them to help me. You are also hilarious.
what is the name of that magnificent guitar 0_o
Butcher of Blaviken it's an acaciahades pro
thanx dude
Butcher of Blaviken np
tbh i dont know how to play the guitar but i wish i knew, but for some reason i still enjoy watching your vids hoping to one day actually learning the riffs
Thunderstruck in not easy for beginners at all
Νικος Χ no but it's a good exercise so it can be good to start off with it.
Νικος Χ he never said it was
its the second song i learned and it whas easy AF
Ok I started learning it and its actually extremely easy
Νικος Χ it all depends on practice and what you start with. I remember when I started I learned to play the intro to snow by rhcp before even learning some basic riffs like smoke on water etc. I couldn't play it perfect but it was like 80% speed. There are some easy riffs out there that I still haven't even played just out of not wanting to.
Thank you so much for this! I have been playing for a very very long time and I still don't know my chords. I can play a lot of stuff but don't know what chord it is. I'm glad you put that out there. I could have been so much better if I would have learned them.
Thunderstruck is non for beginners
It's funny because I've seen this comment a bunch. Thunderstruck was one of the first riffs I ever learned and could play
leo viva why not
Keep calm it's my opinion
leo viva why did you get the impression that either one of us weren't calm?
leo viva sorry what?
Paused this at 2:41 just to say how awesome this video is!!!

HARAMBE harambe memes are dead man, catch up
Distortion or not who doesn't love More than a feeling such a classic song and great intro. and not as hard as I thought after watching you. All good riffs thanks for the smoothie. LOL
Kurt Cobain's brother?
yep
Kris Talens kurt cobains living brother
Kris Talens oh my gosh I can't unsee that now.
sadmac356 hey kurt had long hair like that
Inbrains I know.
The first riff I ever learned was Blood and Thunder by Mastodon. 😂 I frequently played Guitar Hero Metallica so I already had the feel for it and I built my picking speed with GH.
This was great but sloooow down
Glad I wasn't the only one...
discovered your channel recently and im loving it. cheers from Brazil, my friend.

so glad you got back to me by now ..... epic fail
My warmup instead of Thunderstruck is the beginning solo from Am I Evil by DH as I am used to those notes instead of the 4-0-7. It goes 0-4-7
where's the tabs
I thought I was the only one NOT seeing the tabs....I love tabs and they DO help a bunch.....so, where's the tabs?
On his website
I'd add Vicarious by Tool to the list, gets you used to weird timing and is a relatively easy tool song
This is not for a beginner at all.
themanlikepaul. They will be busy for a few years ! Lol, I been playing for 20yrs and still fuck some of those riffs up !!! :/
As a guitarist who was a beginner in the late 70’s I knew all of these except Thunderstruck (never bothered with that one by the 90’s). But I have to point out an error in More Than A Feeling. The actual recording has the 7th note (which you played as the second A) as the open string G instead, as a leading tone into the C9 chord.
