brazil by declan mckenna needs to be added to it - i actually learnt that riff a few days ago i cant stop playing it now
Finally, someone talking about backseat lovers
Compiled the musics into a playlist for those interested it has the same name as the title of the video, just add "the playlist" at then end
or there's the link here th-cam.com/play/PLP1iElK1z6OAmvtAfHi2AePCj5wWXUJUb.html
@@-mamo-8340 tysm!
So happy that backseat lovers get recognized. They are incredible
Yes for sure, songs like pool house and heavy show how cracked they are at guitar even better than Kilby girl
@@elijahleblanc6489 maple syrup is a goat
They are my absolute favorite band. Every single song is special to me and they are unbelievable live too. I love the song “Just a Boy” and “Elevator Days” the most
Drowsy - Banes world
Black - Professor Caveman
Jackies 15 - Jordana
Ramen Waitress - High Sunn
Thy Mission - The Garden
Believe - Dameer
Talk About It - Kate Bollinger
They all easily deserve to be on this list
RAMEN WAITRESS YES
This list is dope, although I would say this list consists of a very specific type of indie music, mostly happy upbeat indie. Lots of other greats, I think Snail Mail deserves a mention, she rips the guitar. Real Estate too!
Oath snail mail is different gravy
Wow, it really goes to show how influential Johnny Marr was
fr like sm of this reminded me of some of the smith's tracks
He was a game changing inspiration for me wen I picked up guitar!
I just love this is in my recommendations because I have literally all these songs on my playlists so the existence of this means my music taste is VALID AF.
I love the thumbnail including hello anxiety, one of the best riffs of all my existence
Thank you for this. Made my Indie playlist v v tasty. I honestly lost it when I saw Two Door Cinema Club, Mkgee and Kilby Girl, those are favourites 😭
Bro loved the list but it's a shame the solo in Tommy's party isn't on the list
greatest indie song I've ever heard
Wow this list is perfect, was both surprised and excited to see hippo campus and Mk.gee
yooo did not expect to see Benee in here!!! She's tied with boy pablo for my favorite artist, I feel like Happen to Me is so underrated (I might be wrong, it seems like one of her deeper cuts to me at least before she made a video for it) so it's awesome you chose it ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! She's awesome! I'm actually going to see her next year when she goes on tour so I can't wait!!
@@puretunes2995 Omg thats awesome! From the live stage performances I've seen of her, she has amazing stage presence, but I don't really like how she overstylizes her singing live lol. I'm sure you'll have a great time, wish she could tour near me :)
Mk. Gee and Far Caspian are so fucking awesome. Oh, who am I kidding, everyone in this list is incredible.
Peach pit has endlessly great guitar riffs
god undercover martyn is such a BANGER
How is this only at 4k views. I just got a whole new playlist for free lmao. Great songs
Last Dinosaurs :(
Thank you for this list! Such a good mix of music that I hadn’t yet heard for the most part.
each song of no vacation has bomb riffs
6:30 is my fav benee song its so simple yet so beautiful
I haven’t heard phum in so long! Thank you for reminding me of his music
Thank you so much for this I always thought this was my favorite element in music but never really knew how to describe it or identify the sound--true audible nectar
YES. THIS COMMENT. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
More of Hippocampus' discography deserved to be on here, they're so damn good
Nathan Stocker is the god of indie guitar
two people of culture right here
@@ijones_88 hell yeah he is
What I’m sayin fr
Violet should have been on here before Way it Goes. that intro is s tier
Way it goes has such a perfect vibe to it, idk how ro explain
Maybe next you should put Castlebeat, Fazerdaze, Reality Club, Dayglow, and Last Dinosaur
The intro of Can i Call you Tonight definitely should be in here
YESS!! I’m so glad atlas, run, feeling lonely, losing you, and same effect are getting more love!
i’d say current joys or surf curse deserve to be along the line somewhere 🤷🏼♂️ but great list none the less
So good!! Honestly discovered new artists here too, so thank you!! 🎶🎶
Current joys deserves a mention
Frank Demarco's Freaming Out The Neighborhood is the best one
Oh wow i didn't expect UMO - Hunnybee here. It's my fave!
Thanks for this. Awesome guitar riffs
Loveee Alfie’s songs 💕
I swear this video is a compilation of all the indie songs I know how to play
This brings me back to when i listen to indie music at night in middle school :’)
You should SO do more of these❤❤
This is the video ive been needing all my life
so happy to see hippo campus here :)
Ode To Viceroy (Mac DeMarco) Backwards (The Rare Occasions)
they have a very good guitars
The first guy it's me when i listen rock with my airpods in public
If you want a perfect indie riff, look up "Stars" by HUM and then go to 3 mins and 52 secs mark. There you go.
THANK GOD someone else knows Vista Kicks
Found them recently and they are great
Definitely should’ve but Her’s medieval, what once was and she needs him are top notch
Brooo all these artist are fucking amazing
saved the best one for last
I saw Phum on the thumbnail and it did not disappoint.
I didn't even realize that I already heard most of the artists here
Hell yea, lately I found a few songs on Spotify but didn’t knew what type of genre it was and I couldn’t exactly categorize it, then I get recommended this. Thank you FBI agent listening in to my phone…
I love indie it's very youthful!
Sentí una gran felicidad a Two door cinema club, me encantaba esa banda hasta hace unos 2 años, tenía mucho tiempo sin escucharlos
Not a single Parcels song? I hope there is a part 2
Here’s some good ones:
Baldemar-Fell in green
Kisses- weekend in Brooklyn
Arbes - key largo
The cads - skin
Damn this song names are the definition of teenager
COIN!!!!!!!! was not expecting that in here! and since this video has come out, they've written an even better riff with "chapstick"
Beach Bunny have many great guitar and bass riffs, especially during the breakdowns on some of their songs :)
you have amazing taste :)
guitarists in indie must be the most overlooked in the guitar ethos
Because they aren't always shredders or blues artists (that boomers love). but they write really catchy or "vibey" riffs, and while they may not always be the most technically advanced (kilby girl using 2 chords for the solo, but that solo being a banger live), they always work to get a crowd going, or a mood set
@@1stargazer12 amen. the most beloved guitarists outside the blues and shred in genres of indie and alt like Johnny Marr and Jeff Buckley and Ed and Jonny from Radiohead to name a few on top of my head, they were never known specifically for guitar prowess but their vibe and tone and all.
Knew most of them, but just found out gotta get away, what a banger
Love Hala
I love ❤ i need moree

PHUM VIPHURIT IS SO GOOD
anything by last dinosaurs
to clarify, that's not a song title, they just have so many amazing riffs lol
This is a perfect video. Thanks.
No disrespect to the other artists, but one of the big thing this video shows me is just how huge Mac's influence on indie rock/pop has been.
treacherous doctor by wallows deserves to be on here lol

Cameos - swimming tapes
Mk.gee live with Dijon was amazing
Boy Pablo is goooooooooooood
