Top 25 BADASS Guitar Riffs | Through The Years

I know I 'missed' a lot of awesome songs and probably agree with the song you are about to mention but let me clearify a little bit on how this video came to be: I came across some oldish really fun riffs, and wanted to make a video about that. I noticed a lot of em were played in the key of A, or E with powerchords, the I-iii-IV or the I-IV-V chords, and some other similarities. The list grew and grew, and I finally transformed it into just badass riffs, because I didn't really know a better name :) But sure, keep the suggestions coming!

What??? No Sultans of Swing??? No John Fogerty? What a list this ain't!

I wish this guy was my neighbour

Onde estão os riffs de Day Tripper, Satisfaction e Smoke on the Water?

black betty........

guitar shops : "thank god he didn't play sm.."
this guy : "damn I forgot smoke on the water, gotta do it again"
guitar shops : "NOOOOOOOOOO"

Good to watch when under the influence

Did you seriously go through the seventies without playng a Black Sabbath Riff....??? You need to give Metal a try, man...

Truck commercial soundtracks:

i literally know nothing about guitars but i wanna learn everything. can anyone tell me how long it usually takes to learn how to do this stuff?

Amazing! The amount of time and effort that was put into this!

Texas Final Boss music

Amazing stuff ! Cheers from am old Las Vegas drummer!!

First one sounded a lot like ZZ-Top´s Lasagne..:-)

Not a critique, but IMHO you hit the Rumble chords too quickly. There is a sinister quality to how slowly and confidently Wray strummed (NOT hit) them on the album that should really come through.

Nice info by you indeed I'm bit of confused with riff count do I need to count two bars or two times this repeat pattern?????? What's exact count of riff count??????

Ukraine hi!

Still don't know why the one that started guitar riffs never gets number I spot ever. It's probably the the only guitar riff known to have been played in most of the whole world. "Go Johnny Go" by Chuck Berry.. 🤔

Imagin, all those great sounds,
One guitar small number of effects and nothing more.
Tele's rule all...!

Great selection of guitar riffs and well done! If you want to create your own badass guitar riffs, check out my new book titled "How to Create Your Own Killer Guitar Riffs" (by Chris Fryer). It is downloadable and in paperback form at all Amazon sites. I cover motifs, repetition, variation, contrast, and common riff structures. There are also six interviews with successful guitarists!

I wish motley crue was here

I think most bad-ass thing in this video is that you play those hard riffs on Tele 😂

EXCELENTE VÍDEO!!!!! MUY BUENA LA VARIACIÓN!!!!

Very fun video. The intro to this video was kinda cheesy but it worked

Woot the FXXX: AMazing: Barracuda and no good for example!
GOod job!

Greetings from Finland!

The distance - by CAKE

Hey you forget Sting Shape of my heart 😢

Megadeth symphony for destruction and Metallica Sandman and I’m not even a metal guy

"Crazy Train" & "Symphony of Destruction"

top 25 badass scales

❤❤❤❤

Be bad ass if you incorporate Life in the Fast Lane too. You’re a great musician.

Welcome to the jungle❓❓🤷🏻‍♂️😵‍💫

Rumble is so amazing. Four chords, one basic scale, but it’s so iconic and beautiful. Drums and bass are sick too. Always crank that when I hear it.

Missing the best one of all - listen to No Quarter - Led Zeppelin

You forgot about the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest when Davy Jones intro came

Dude super reminds me of when I spent time in Nashville << does this guy do any studio work??!

love it!

Did he manage to leave "seven nation army" out?

Not bad.... looking for also some metal
