Most liked posts in thread: Best ever guitar riffs

Eliminator was a huge success for them, on the back of some sharp videos at the time.
Played that one alot.
Can still remember the riffs without playing the songs, a good sign.

 

So many great riffs, but I'll go for these:
Taxman -The Beatles
Substitute - The Who
Up Around the Bend - Credence Clearwater Revival
Black Night - Deep Purple
Blowin' Free - Wishbone Ash
Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
Ever Fallen in Love - The Buzzcocks
Shot by Both Sides - Magazine

 

i agree on the song, but I am trying to learn harp and that is just phenomenal as you say, one day..........

 

Very few harp players ever get good enough to play like that and, TBH, it's not really necessary for most purposes. Playing decent backup and fills between the vocals is as important as pyrotechnic solos.

I assume you know about playing in second position if you're going to play blues and rock, rather than folk style?

I learned by playing along to Muddy Waters and Doctor Feelgood albums, many moons ago.

 

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Making music videos became a very deep rabbit hole for me to dive down during lockdown. Putting the Reverbs' one together took over my life for about a month.
This is the link to my You Tube channel in case you're interested. They started off with simple guitar/vocals stuff and just kept on getting more complex. As you can see, I have broad tastes:

Misirilou, by Dick Dale, ( Pulp Fiction )

 

Funny that they all seem to be rips of something else

 

Interested to know what you think New Rose is a rip from. It's always just sounded like New Rose to me.

 

How could I have omitted these?
Day Tripper
I Feel Fine
Paperback Writer

 

I know how much work goes in as have done simple videos of myself both strumming and singing badly for fun so really appreciate the work you must of put in it looks very professional, Will look at your Youtube feed when I get a bit of time

 

Often struggle with awful feedback from the microphone, Any tips?
PM me if you prefer

 

I'll gladly accept your compliments Dave, but I haven't done Tumbling Dice! I assume you mean Rollin' & Tumblin', which is a much older blues song, dating back to the 1920s.

 

Billy Strings is an extraordinarily good player. Some of the younger bluegrass players are frightening. Check out Sierra Hull - she an amazing mandolin player. Likewise Tristan Scroggins. And Molly Tuttle is a phenomenal flat picking guitarist.
