    @kumakun17 there would be nothing you like in your music collection without the Beatles. Everything after the Beatles is directly influenced by them. The world of music would not go on without them so you better get into them quick or kill yourself

    “the cream of clapton” oh how the FCC has changed…

  19. T16Akatsuki says:

    @rizzdog the only reason people remember it is because its the first song you learn on guitar. i can guarantee that over half of the people that know how to play it have never even heard of it. sad i know

  20. thinchris says:

    @mahboi1100 Thats not a riff stupid

  21. thinchris says:

    @rizzdog Too simple a riff

  22. sotosxboxakias says:

    the funny thing is that the artist of the video is Ozzy Osbourne

  23. dzgeneration says:

    icky thump by the white stripes got a pretty sweet riff but its newer

  24. Ferinos1991 says:

    @rizzdog every riffs video bar one or two has smoke on the water and stairway to heaven, there are loadsa great riffs out there and is nice to hear the others, if every video had the same a lotta stuff would get missed by many people, myself included

  25. Ace75000 says:

    @mahboi1100 The whole video I was thinking that Stairway to Heven would be #1 *sigh*

  26. sannaman71 says:

    @McBoothie94 ,,,,,he does thats funny! But I used this riff ….in my bands origanal song. when it came to the solo I used it and it was awesome(I was brought into a 3 member band as a 4th member so coming up with leads was dumped on me). The guys in my band are like where did you gt that from? Before I could answer the drummer said “off you-tube I bet.” lol mb

  34. SoRock321 says:

    I found a slideshow of a song with a 2 minute guitar solo in the middle. It has some really cool melodic phrases. Its by Curtis Mitchell and the name of the song is “Play’n Rock’n Roll”. It is none of the shredding crapp!

  35. bozo5116 says:

    okeeey Hahahaahahahahhahaha

  40. FLpolo says:

    @JoxTraex appreciate the knowledge

  41. JoxTraex says:

    @FLpolo Specifically all of them have an impact on how the guitar sounds and plays, like for instance tube amp has a far different tone than a solid state amp. Picks also impact the sound too, if its light and flimsy you’ll hear it slip, if its thin and heavy, you won’t hear it too much. Its all about experimentation and finding what one likes and then going with that. Tone is all about experimentation.

  42. FLpolo says:

    @JoxTraex when you say pedals we’re talking about picks right? if so i didn’t know they made that much of diffrence in making sounds, or amps either. do they have different styles of strings that make different sounds because thats was my only explaination to why most guitars sound different than mine. its sounds kinda plain, rich in tune though like a smooth jazz guitar.

  43. JoxTraex says:

    @FLpolo because you need a good collection of guitar pedals or better yet an awesome amp.

  44. FLpolo says:

    how come my guitar sounds nothing like that?
