No criticism of your playing but I have to tell you Pictures of matchstick men was written by and first recorded by Status Quo, not Camper van Beethoven. Happy New year
I must’ve watched this 20 times over the years, used to be great before the ads started interrupting halfway through videos, making TH-cam virtually unwatchable.
@@KonradWadenhauer There's videos where he teaches some of the riffs, and showcases the pedal board he used. Impressively enough, it really was about his foot switch skill.
Who else comes here, watches the vid, picks out a song. Gos and learns it, then comes back here to pick a new one, over and over again. I’ve watched this vid 15 times to pick out a song so far
He tuned the guitar so that it would be easy to turn while playing. If you notice the D has the tuning peg roughly perpendicular to the headstock and the E is roughly parallel. Easy to quickly retune like that
I honestly can't understand why anyone who plays guitar or enjoys others playing it could give this a thumbs down. What a wonderfully executed medley. He must have spend hours working it out
I started playing guitar at 14 when I joined my highschool guitar class, I remember watching this video countless times to the point where I can still remember the exact riffs one after another It is now 7 years later and I am almost finished with college and am about to pursue my dream of becoming a career pilot, time really does fly, but I will always remember those highschool days of practicing guitar and coming back to this video
3 years ago, this video made me wanna pick up a guitar for the very first time. Last night I played my first gig. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😁

Knowing that many riffs is one thing. Being able to switch gears and have "the feel" of each come through is quite another. You should most certainly do session work if that sort of thing interests you. Thank you so much for bringing some funky jams to my normally quiet campsite just before dark.
Hey Alex - I know it’s 10 years later but in case you occasionally check comments: I particularly like your ordering so that keys make great sense and your interesting transitions when key changes come. Great composition! The ‘editing,’ that is, where you chose to get into and out of riffs was great, consistently interesting and occasionally surprising. Fun! Your use of effects was great and your non-Strat tones were very good. Your pickup switching was flawless. I think many beginning and intermediate guitarists don’t spend enough time practicing the tech side of effect/setting/pickup changes. You certainly do. The added bass notes in Satisfaction were very nice; your SRV tone was great; thanks for picking Thunderstruck instead of legatoing it; the switch to slide in Seven Nations Army was slick. A pleasant time is guaranteed for all.
Massive respect for this video - we've all sat here talking about how many takes this must have taken. And to do it all in one take too!! You have got skills man!! If you ever move to England & want a job..... !!!
I was 13 years old when I first came across this video. I sat there with my mouth open and admired how cool Alex plays all these riffs. Now I'm 21, I've been playing guitar for 6 years, but I still admire this video.
Only artists that had more than one riff in the video: - The Beatles - The Rolling Stones - Santana - Led Zepellin - Dire Straits - Motley Crue - AC DC - Van Halen - Guns and Roses - Green Day - Red Hot Chilli Peppers - The White Stripes
10 years ago i watched this video and bought my guitar. i heard only 4 songs of the list, and didnt know how to play, now i can play every riff here, and love most of this songs, this is the most influential youtube video in my life, thanks a lot, im speachless (sory for my bad english im from russia)
@@loststranger5398 What is so wrong about it? He played it little differently and is a bit sloppy but that is ok for rock and roll. Most of the stuff sounded good.
Few things: 1. Love this video, would love to see y'all do some more videos like this. 2. These transitions are waaaaay too clean homie you're shredding like a God and all the GOATs shed a tear of joy when this video plays. 3. Ever hear someone play a riff of a song you love so good it makes you wish for a full cover? 😂
The fact that he executes this without any noticeable breaks is so impressive to me. Like each riff in itself is not that difficult (except for a few), but the fact that he pulls off this pretty seamless medley with no noticeable errors all in one take, switching to drop D midway through, and having amp modifications and other accessories… I’m watching this trying to calculate how many hours he had to practice to get this routine right, and he deserves a thumbs up at the very least from everyone who clicks.
@@chicagomusicexchange how do you get your guitar to sound different throughout the video is it when you do something on your guitar or is it a good pedal or something?
Watched this video several times when it was launched on YT... every now and then I come back here to listen again, and everytime I listen to one of these songs I immediately think on the next riff and feel obligated to come back here and listen to it again... lol this have such a huge impact on the guitar community.
@@gamerinthewoodsszlsully3759 if you have a tuning app (i presume you'd get it for free) then you'd most likely only be able to tune to E standard. however, investing a few dollars into a decent tuner will let you tune to basically anything
Legendary video!! Still has me coming back, checking it out. And the tone is truely unique in way, but also encapsulates all of the classic vibes. Really impressive considering the drive stage consists of a TubeScreamer and a JHS Foot Fuzz into a low powered tweed. 👍👍👍
I watched this video about 3 years ago. Haven’t seen it since or looked it up. This morning I was reading some of my guitar magazines and turned one over and this ad for Chicago Music Exchange was on the back cover. I did nothing but think in my head “oh yeah I remember that video of the dude playing 100 riffs was Chicago Music Exchange” 4 hours later I open TH-cam and it’s the first video suggested. Haven’t seen it in 3+ years. Thanks for tracking my thoughts TH-cam & Google! I had forgot about this video!
So I started playing guitar at the age of about 10. I'm now 23 but this video changed everything for me. So many riffs I learned and music I discovered just from this guys upload around the same time I was getting properly into it. So to you guys at the CME I can't thank you enough
Not denying he's a bad guitarist or anything of the sort but some songs were kinda sloppy still the why he went from standard to drop d tuning was unreal
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

Pretty accurate
Greatest comment I’ve ever seen in my life 😂😂😂😂😂

Love your profile pic
We basically hav the same profile pic nice dude 🤘🏼
@@zyclose8653 🤘🤘
Sigma found
To be fair, he did some riffs really dirty.
Remembered 100 riffs, played them note perfectly, had smooth transitions and selected the right pedal every time flawlessly. That was impressive.
Evan Jones imagine messing up the last song
im pretty sure there were a couple hard to see jump cuts here and there but idk
Zach Semler instead of just saying that, how about you actually link the jump cuts
Very impressive...but can you... oh... wrong channel)
Julian McOmie wasnt thinking of it at the time im also too lazy to look throught the entire video
I'm very impressed that he managed to play smoke on the water.
😂😂😂😂
My first riff was Wipe Out. I was pleasantly surprised it was included.
Is it hard to play?
It's tradition to come back to this video every so often
Everytime I see it in my recommenders I click

CHAINS IS IN A PICKLE
Payday for the win
Godspeed same
Especially Layla
everyone talking about how good he is at playing the guitar, but nobody talking about how his foot switch skills are off the charts
he probably had one preset for every riff on a multi fx and cycled thorugh - still nicely done though!
@@KonradWadenhauer There's videos where he teaches some of the riffs, and showcases the pedal board he used. Impressively enough, it really was about his foot switch skill.
Also @7:42 you can notice the moment he switched the fuzz on for the Cliffs of Dover riff.
The worst part about it is when you recognize a part and it ends before you can get into it
Watch kfir ochaion guitar covers he's the best guitarist I have seen on TH-cam
That was the best part for me.
@@gerardjackson4104 so I guess you haven't seen Rob Chapman
ZennyBot he had to fit it in one video so you can’t change that

this video completely validates the existence of TH-cam all on its own.
fully agree
This is gonna be a quote XD
bloodisnotblue ccr
bloodisnotblue not right now lol
bloodisnotblue I'm the 500 the like on ur comment
The most impressive part is that he did this in one continuous take. If he messed up one riff he’d have to restart.
No shit Sherlock.
He did very slightly mess up on thunderstruck but he recovered very quickly
@@fabianreah1708 Nice one, Fabian
explain the changes of sound from the guitar, it must be a pedal
Nice
The quick-change to Drop D at 6:38 was damn impressive.
More like d sharp.
He would tell you that it was no big deal, just a little inconvenient.
Who else comes here, watches the vid, picks out a song. Gos and learns it, then comes back here to pick a new one, over and over again. I’ve watched this vid 15 times to pick out a song so far
THIS IS HOW I STARTED GUITAR
Gitaur is yeas I plai
This video drove me to start playing 😂
Exactly!!! It's litterally the library of songs to learn
yea i agree

So you’re talking about me huh

no one said anything about you two dipshits go play your intros somewhere else

you just described a good 70% of guitarists.
Dropping the E to D and bringing it back several times perfectly in tune is easily the most impressive part of this whole video.
Josh McLean man I've been watching this video for some while and I've never payed attention to it, damn, that's dope!
I belive that the most impressive thing in this video is...the video😃
Josh McLean This is gospel!
He tuned the guitar so that it would be easy to turn while playing. If you notice the D has the tuning peg roughly perpendicular to the headstock and the E is roughly parallel. Easy to quickly retune like that
Agreed.
3:02 tonight: I play 100 different guitar riffs, James plays the top gear intro on a piano and Richard smashes a drum set.
The guitar went outside and smoked a cigarette after this.
And the amp was smoking half way through
LOL! What do you mean?
I mean it all happened after he played smoke on the water 🙌
And then took a giant greasy dump
@CyberSlice Hahahahahahahahaha yes you are right.
I honestly can't understand why anyone who plays guitar or enjoys others playing it could give this a thumbs down. What a wonderfully executed medley. He must have spend hours working it out
Some people are just butthurt that he didn't include their favourite song/band in the video
Must be reggaeton lovers.
either disliked to be contrarians or because a song they liked wasn't included is my guess.
every youtube video has dislikes, people need to get over it with comments like these
@@astridkjellberg but 10k seems like an awful lot for such a great presentation
Why is everybody making such a big deal over what he DIDN'T play? This was a delight.
THANK YOU!
Rebornblader he forgot freebird XD
Rebornblader Yea lol, also, 8:48 made me die! Sorry, I just love Rage Against the Machine.
Rebornblader I agree! Because it's very difficult to play 100 different riffs/part of songs in just 12 minutes. And that was great!
Rebornblader people always want a reason to complain :P
I started playing guitar at 14 when I joined my highschool guitar class, I remember watching this video countless times to the point where I can still remember the exact riffs one after another
It is now 7 years later and I am almost finished with college and am about to pursue my dream of becoming a career pilot, time really does fly, but I will always remember those highschool days of practicing guitar and coming back to this video
blud has my same lived experience
why dont you keep playing guitar and become a guitarist
The transition from Sweet Home Alabama to Walk This Way had no right to work that well
miserlou to wipeout was also smooth
I like how walk this way is suggesting incest lol
Literally read this as it played lmfao
The_Honkler ikr
I’m glad im not the only one that thought this lmao.
3 years ago, this video made me wanna pick up a guitar for the very first time. Last night I played my first gig. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😁
George Brindley congrats
Wow
how’d the gig go?!?!
sweet!

Shut the fuck up
Plot twist: THIS IS AFTER THAT HAPPENED
Lol
Knowing that many riffs is one thing. Being able to switch gears and have "the feel" of each come through is quite another. You should most certainly do session work if that sort of thing interests you. Thank you so much for bringing some funky jams to my normally quiet campsite just before dark.
Dude changed the tuning in between playing like it's nothing 😶
(in-between a riff)
I am speed
Am... not really, because some of us may cant tune guitar by ear and they don't know to do that fast, like someone like me :D
its not that hard actually, going from standard to drop tuning, just got to remember position of a E string tuner knob for standard and drop tuning
Muscle memory...

Hey Alex -
I know it’s 10 years later but in case you occasionally check comments:
I particularly like your ordering so that keys make great sense and your interesting transitions when key changes come. Great composition!
The ‘editing,’ that is, where you chose to get into and out of riffs was great, consistently interesting and occasionally surprising. Fun!
Your use of effects was great and your non-Strat tones were very good. Your pickup switching was flawless. I think many beginning and intermediate guitarists don’t spend enough time practicing the tech side of effect/setting/pickup changes. You certainly do.
The added bass notes in Satisfaction were very nice; your SRV tone was great; thanks for picking Thunderstruck instead of legatoing it; the switch to slide in Seven Nations Army was slick. A pleasant time is guaranteed for all.
Massive respect for this video - we've all sat here talking about how many takes this must have taken. And to do it all in one take too!! You have got skills man!! If you ever move to England & want a job..... !!!

definitely had that one pre marked but it's still darn impressive
Geez ! I was just thinking the same thing !
Dropped it like it was hot, then picks up a slide lol
I was 13 years old when I first came across this video. I sat there with my mouth open and admired how cool Alex plays all these riffs. Now I'm 21, I've been playing guitar for 6 years, but I still admire this video.

Same with:

Boys are Back in Town ---> Don't Fear the Reaper

@@ahuman2695 needs more cowbell
Scarlet begonias to sweet home Alabama to walk this way was the slickest transition in this video

as if the transitions are difficult and we all should be amazed.

The wind in my hair...
10 years ago i watched this video and bought my guitar. i heard only 4 songs of the list, and didnt know how to play, now i can play every riff here, and love most of this songs, this is the most influential youtube video in my life, thanks a lot, im speachless (sory for my bad english im from russia)
Me: So what riffs can you play?
Alex: *Yes*
Iron maiden riffs?
Him:
Scorpions riffs?
Him:
Literally.
Yep
This guy has serious skill. Such smooth playing and the cleanest transitions. I'm impressed
His level of playing is novice and that's obviously from 1 riff
what riff?
@@Ianthe22 Smoke On The Water)
but you enjoyed the rest oh them?
@@loststranger5398 What is so wrong about it? He played it little differently and is a bit sloppy but that is ok for rock and roll. Most of the stuff sounded good.
I liked the part when he played the guitar
What, you don't like his voice? >:/
Umm actually its a piano
Can tell you watch Pewdiepie video
Why is everyone changing their profile pic to that
Thanos The Mad Titan its litty committee
Few things:
1. Love this video, would love to see y'all do some more videos like this.
2. These transitions are waaaaay too clean homie you're shredding like a God and all the GOATs shed a tear of joy when this video plays.
3. Ever hear someone play a riff of a song you love so good it makes you wish for a full cover? 😂
The transition from 'Sweet Home Alabama' to 'Walk This Way' was soooo smooth.
Yes
came here to sat the same
Exactly what I was thinking lol
Scarlet Begonias into Sweet Home into Walk This Way lives rent free in my head. Smooth as goddamn butter
3:03 On tonight’s show James falls over. I eat some cheese. Richard says he doesn’t want some.
Tonight on bottom gear
on that bombshell
@@hunterbranson4387 i literally just watched that wtf
And on that disappointment back to the tent
Yes!
The transition from Sweet Hone Alabama to Walk This Way is great!
I thought that! Genius ;)
I think he should've played more of sweet home Alabama
+Trumpet Guy yea me too
Sweet Home Alabama is overplayed. What about songs like Freebird or Simple Man?
Finneyyy Simple man is also overplayed
The fact that he executes this without any noticeable breaks is so impressive to me. Like each riff in itself is not that difficult (except for a few), but the fact that he pulls off this pretty seamless medley with no noticeable errors all in one take, switching to drop D midway through, and having amp modifications and other accessories… I’m watching this trying to calculate how many hours he had to practice to get this routine right, and he deserves a thumbs up at the very least from everyone who clicks.
Anyone else keep coming back to this vid?
Charles Smith yeah
Charles Smith mhm this is like my 5th time watching it
I’ve watched dis in school so many times
yes
no, dippshit
This video was the sole reason I started playing guitar, thanks Alex from the Chicago music exchange
swear to god. id always kinda wanted to play, but this video just sent me over the edge and I started learning.
We'll tell him you say hello! Thanks for watching!
YEAH SAMEEEEE
@@chicagomusicexchange how do you get your guitar to sound different throughout the video is it when you do something on your guitar or is it a good pedal or something?
@@milosamurai2406 he's using a pedalboard with a bunch of different pedals, there's a link in the description if you wanna see it :)
With the current TH-cam, how many copyclaims do you think he got?
Jesus H Christ you are right
Martijn van Gelderen none they’re all on the screen as he plays
@@bajabugboy5570 YEH PROBS
Martijn van Gelderen 100 in a single take
None
Watched this video several times when it was launched on YT... every now and then I come back here to listen again, and everytime I listen to one of these songs I immediately think on the next riff and feel obligated to come back here and listen to it again... lol this have such a huge impact on the guitar community.
Even dropped the pick and switched to finger picking for Sultans of Swing. Hats off there, Mark would be proud if he happened to catch this.
Ikr
I dont know why but i searched for this comment. Well. Im not disappointed. 😂👍🏻
I do fingerpicking like Knopfler, a bit different though
In the real song the dude finger picks it
You need to have a photographic memory to play that
I'm here just trying to tune my guitar
then buy a tuner
Or get a tuning app
@@gamerinthewoodsszlsully3759 if you have a tuning app (i presume you'd get it for free) then you'd most likely only be able to tune to E standard. however, investing a few dollars into a decent tuner will let you tune to basically anything
@@siggiarabi actually most apps have chromatic tuner, so you can tune any string in any note
@@roderas3312 can you name a few? im just using guitartuna for when i don't have access to a tuner
"how to be demonitized 100 times"
Underrated comment
U mean copyright striked 100 times?
jah_boi_420 well i mean from his perspective its the same either way, he aint getting that bread
@@tens0r884 😆
Its actually less likely to get demonitized, because if there's more than one claim on the video, no one makes money
This video was responsible for my taste in music in general. Saw this 10 years ago, life was never the same again.
🤘🤘 Love to hear that!
2:48 how the guitar store sounds all day.
Sergio Alcantara nope, it’s stairway to heaven
Smells like teen spirit
checks out
Except for 0-3-5
Sorry bout the views man I watched this about 21 mil times
H BOMB 0803 Samee!!
Daishawn Maingot It's just so f***** awesome.
H BOMB 0803 agreed how can someone put a dislike on this?
Millennials. Maybe.
wolfman081298 those are all the rapper people
Whenever I wanna learn a new riff I randomly select a part of this video and learn it
Literally me
Nice!
this video was a massive inspiration to me as a young guitarist. it inspired the hell out of me and drove me to strive for this level of perfection.
"Don't Fear the Reaper" sounded on effing point.
The transition into and out of it were perfect too. Super smooth
One of my favorite songs to play and the video did it justice!
Needs more cowbell.
Needed more cowbell tho
Gabe M
I’ve got a fever...
Impressive, but can he play all of these on guitar hero?
Stanley Someone get to making that fucking chart
Stanley wrong channel man
Mr.Mustashe 727 yea that's davie's channel right?
GymbalPooh -Csgo Vids and more yep
OilZing yeah!! Aaaaaaanybody can play crazy train on guitar! But can you do it on expert without your fingers cramping? Me either.
The most impressive part is that he could still do sultans of swing after 40 other riffs beforehand
for real
Legendary video!! Still has me coming back, checking it out. And the tone is truely unique in way, but also encapsulates all of the classic vibes. Really impressive considering the drive stage consists of a TubeScreamer and a JHS Foot Fuzz into a low powered tweed. 👍👍👍
That tone for Don't fear the reaper was almost spot on
***** ya man i love this guy
***** i agree, not enough cowbell though..
+Sindre Berstad i got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell
+Sindre Berstad i got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell

I just have to watch that every six months or so...cuz it's so fucking AMAZING!
+MetalJesusRocks Oh please,I watch it every day! :D
+MetalJesusRocks oh wow didn't expect to see you here ]
+MetalJesusRocks Ayy i watch ur videos dude lol
Likewise. I shall come back to watch this again.
+MetalJesusRocks agreed
The way he played Sweet Home Alabama into Walk This Way appealed to a part of me I didn't know existed.
The transition was really good but I wish he would have played a little more sweet home Alabama
Wow. This was a very impressive display of versatility, timing and keeping the vibe for each of these songs. Even effects were awfully close
🤘🤘🤘
3:01 On tonights episode! May crashes into a tree! Hammond gets eaten by alligators, and I have a little dispute with the local hyenas!
xD i was looking and i found
A man of culture i see
What?
@@isausage6866 Top Gear reference
HAMMOOOOOOOOND
This is every kid ever in a guitar store before they learn any full songs.
Except he's actually playing them right in this
Wait... There are people who learn full songs?
Sweet home Alabama’s transition into Walk this was was beyond smooth
I watched this video about 3 years ago. Haven’t seen it since or looked it up. This morning I was reading some of my guitar magazines and turned one over and this ad for Chicago Music Exchange was on the back cover. I did nothing but think in my head “oh yeah I remember that video of the dude playing 100 riffs was Chicago Music Exchange”
4 hours later I open TH-cam and it’s the first video suggested. Haven’t seen it in 3+ years.
Thanks for tracking my thoughts TH-cam & Google! I had forgot about this video!
0:09 When you enter heaven
7:48 When you enter hell
Idk what I prefer the most.
7:48 when you enter sandman
I think I prefer hell
*nice*

This reminds me of when you don't really fancy listening to music so you listen to the first 20 seconds of a song and then change it
was i the only one who got chills when he started playing purple haze ?
Hafeezur Rahman.no.great song
Hafeezur Rahman I did too
Im learning to play it and Hendrix is super fun to play because he has all that extra cool sounding shit
yah, lol
So I started playing guitar at the age of about 10. I'm now 23 but this video changed everything for me. So many riffs I learned and music I discovered just from this guys upload around the same time I was getting properly into it. So to you guys at the CME I can't thank you enough
Anyone else find it super satisfing how he hit all the notes perfectly
Not denying he's a bad guitarist or anything of the sort but some songs were kinda sloppy still the why he went from standard to drop d tuning was unreal
FACE 123 how?
@@masmax246 Not all songs were accurate. Not only the notes (i.e Reptilia), but rhythm (Welcome to Paradise). He still did a phenomenal job though.
He didn't play smoke on the water right
@@FACE-fc7hl you do this first. One run through. Perfectly. And then I'll let you judge
I can do the air guitar version
Same
Pearl Jam!
Still waiting for the drums to kick in.
tawan c says the guy who has shit grammar
tawan c you probably have -1 iq
tawan c ever heard of Neil Peart? Genius drummer. David Grohl? Awesome guy. Watch your fucking mouth, you snot-nosed brat.
