I second this. Not only do I enjoy watching & listening, but it encourages me to pick up my guitar & play along to riffs that I've never played before. 💯
The Prince is originally by a band called Diamond Head. The same goes for "Am I Evil' and "It's electric". They're all from the same album called "Lightning to the Nations". I would definitely recommend checking it out.
Overkill seriously doesn’t get enough credit! They are one of the best thrash metal bands I’ve heard and they’re still putting out music. The Years of Decay is one of my all time favourite albums. Honestly not a bad song on there!
Pantera has so many that give me chills and make me wanna run through a wall. Revolution is My Name, Mouth for War, A New Level, and Heresy are super underrated.
Massive props for including Primus, Larry LaLonde has some awesome riffs and I always thought that it was really impressive that he could play along with the wacky shit that Les Claypool does
The relentless force of the rhythm at the end of "No One Knows" is great, but the part that always gives me chills is the main melody riff--the syncopation burrows itself into your brain until it feels like your entire being is connected to the beat.
My band covered 'Say It Ain't So' but I had never heard the song before. The guitarist sang it to me so I knew the vocal melody and then we practiced and played it a numerous gigs before I ever heard the Weezer version. I sing in the style of Free/LedZep so thats what our version of this song sounded like. It got a few raised eyebrows among people who knew the original song.
@@TheArtofGuitar when I was a young teen in the early nineties, my friend said, "you can order from them and they can't expect payment because you're a minor." The problem is when mom finds out you did it. The bigger problem is when she finds out you did it again.
It’s great seeing you have fun with the songs. It’s like we get to enjoy them with you and it’s like you’re sharing your feelings towards the song in a way you couldn’t otherwise. Very cool. There are a few songs from here I didn’t know of and I’m for sure gonna check them out! Thanks
I really love these videos. every time since part 1 I just had my phone ready on my Apple Music waiting to add songs to my playlist, because all the songs you’ve played are so good and this is a such a good way to get a much bigger variety of artists on my playlist and discover songs I never would have knew before. So thank you :)
Overkill!!!! The Years Of Decay and Under The Influence are 2 classic albums that a lot of people are unaware of. Full of tasty thrash riffs. Bobby Gustafson is still my favourite guitarist that played in that band.
wanted to play guitar for the very first time when i heard Kansas' _Carry On Wayward Son_ - that riff just hooked me but i first heard that on Supernatural ^^
Really cool watching you geeking out over these riff and enjoying playing them. You‘re just like all of us, which is something I like about your channel. Also, agree with you about Persistence Of Time. Wish they would play that album in full one day.
Just finished a game of counterstrike with some boys. Saw the noticication and new I was in for a treat. P.S. Midnight was one of the first full songs I learned on guitar
One of my favourite riffs is the main riff in King Crimson's Thela Hun Ginjeet, especially the bassline, so good! Their another song Level Five also has a great riff in middle section! Also Megadeth's KIMB, the main and verse riffs. I like a lot of Megadeth riffs, but it would take too much time to list all of them :D
Man, I swear these videos help explore music so much better. Really love how each of your these songs have some history to em. That's what I love about the 80s, 90s. You want music? Well, go get it! Can't just sit my ass down and Spotify, as convenient as it is. Did you ever Buckethead?
As the bass player referenced in the “Cold Gin” segment, I can confirm that it was as magical as Mike’s recollection. What you didn’t mention though Mike, and what it took me a moment to remember, is that you were on drums for that set and Unit was on guitar. Once I remembered this, It made more sense to me and I could recall exactly what you were referring to. That was such an awesome gig, and Cold Gin in particular always stands out to me. Also, I can vividly recall locking in with you and Bobby on the breakdown, and seeing you behind the kit with a bit of a triumphant smirk on your face that said, “we nailed it boys😊.” The feeling I got that night is why I first picked up a guitar. We were all so tight and connected through the music, that even though the song may have been created by KISS, in that moment we owned it. Dyl
Love the mention of Morphine! They did not have a guitar player, but Mark played a 3-string slide guitar sometimes, not on Buena, but I think in Thursday he plays the guitar
Aenema is a 4/3 polyrythm, if someone is struggling, you should watch some videos explaining it, it would be easier to get :) (like Adam Neely's 4:3 polyrythms video). Also you can use a phrase "pass the god damn butter" to remember it better :) (like paradiddles)
I always thought the intro riff to Unchained is one of the best guitar parts ever. When I play it, I drag that section out just so I can keep chugging on it.
Speaking of Disturbed, Decadence’s main riff is probably one one of my favorites, same with Inside the Fire’s chorus. SoaD’s Jet Pilot also has an amazing verse riff, so does Creating God by A7X.
O.K. Here we go... I clicked & SUBSCRIBED as a NEWBIE because I liked your easy way of teaching a new Guitar player BASICS. After about 2-3 weeks, all I see is your fav.., or un-fav.. RIFFS. This is above my ability & comprehension. I will however stay SUBSCRIBED in the hope that you will once again revert to your wonderful simplicity in teaching new guitarists. I, maybe should go back over your previous Videos to see 'HOW TO LEARN'. ALL THE BEST.🎸🎸🎸🎸🆗🆗🦘🦘
Sorry Laurie, I just put up what inspires me because all my lessons for beginners are on my main lesson website. My YT channel has a bit of everything.
@@TheArtofGuitar Thanks for for your quick response. I must have bookmarked the wrong website, MY BAD. ALL THE BEST, from Down-Under.🎸🔊🔊 6.08 p.m. 8th JUNE 2020
I personally love jamming on some Pink Floyd riffs such as Run Like Hell and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I know it's hard to get the tones, but the riffs are just so much fun
Im actually so glad that you put orion here i was so sad after the previous video that you didn't include it in this series but thats my all time favorite riff In case you read this i dont remember if you put unholy confessions but theres 1 more song for you now And keep up the good work man u r awesome
Hey man great video! If you're actually done with this you could do one on some of your favourite newer riffs to play - I know the classics are great but that way you can share stuff with your viewers they might have never heard of!
I absolutely hated the video for Genesis's version of Land of Confusion, LOL! Now that you've reminded me, I will go back and check out the song again, although the Disturbed cover will probably always be my favorite. It's the first version I remember hearing, which may have something to do with it. That, and it's one of the most killer covers ever.
C'mon bro, make this a reoccurring series, this is really fun to watch and there are endless riffs out there that give people the chills!
I second this. Not only do I enjoy watching & listening, but it encourages me to pick up my guitar & play along to riffs that I've never played before. 💯
The Prince is originally by a band called Diamond Head. The same goes for "Am I Evil' and "It's electric". They're all from the same album called "Lightning to the Nations". I would definitely recommend checking it out.
cool story, he would know this.
I like the part when he played the riff
So did i
Same
Nah mate I thought the part where he played the riff was better
I thought I was watching an Adam Neely video for a sec and was gonna say u mean “the lick” 😂
Which one do u mean the riff, or the riff?
I think Orion, is honestly the biggest chill factor song here for me.
Unchained and Detroit rock city after it.
I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw your moog synthesizer kick in.
That was my goal. haha
Overkill seriously doesn’t get enough credit! They are one of the best thrash metal bands I’ve heard and they’re still putting out music. The Years of Decay is one of my all time favourite albums. Honestly not a bad song on there!
Overkill is very under appreciated. Bare Bones is a classic in my eyes
Hello from the gutter!
They got a lot of credit from a friend I had back in the day. He got the death bat tatooed on the back of his neck haha.
Hell yeah! WRECKING CREW FOR LIFE!!!🤘🤘🤘
I love finding gems that I haven’t heard before. I pause, search it on Apple Music, and then return to the video. Love this stuff!
Pantera has so many that give me chills and make me wanna run through a wall. Revolution is My Name, Mouth for War, A New Level, and Heresy are super underrated.
I Fucking love the A New Level riff, so aggresive. And I would say Slaughtered is a good one too
I know it's a Guitar Channel..and your Guitar playing is masterful but man your drumming is something that needs to be recognized.
Rock on!
Thanks Joe. I always appreciate when people notice the drums. 👍☺️
@@TheArtofGuitar oh yeah.. being a drummer myself I tend to notice it the most.
These keep my work night flowing.
Massive props for including Primus, Larry LaLonde has some awesome riffs and I always thought that it was really impressive that he could play along with the wacky shit that Les Claypool does
The melodic riff in Tripping on a Hole in a paper Heart never fails to give me chills.
the riff in No One Knows never fails to make me smile. It’s almost like an orchestra of guitar.
No One Knows is such a banging song
More riffs, more chills, more headbangs - THAT'S WHAT I LIKE :D
YES! Be All, End All is by far the most underrated Anthrax song in my opinion, top 5 material for me
part 7 - clean riffs that give chillz
I felt the bass when it kicked in on Unchained. Man what a great riff.
There are chills to be had from the guitar riffs AND the drum riffs in this one!
Taking a drink during the guitar sustain, classic
I can see the pure joy playing Cold Gin. Looks like hes having a lot of fun with that one.
The relentless force of the rhythm at the end of "No One Knows" is great, but the part that always gives me chills is the main melody riff--the syncopation burrows itself into your brain until it feels like your entire being is connected to the beat.
Morphine! man i love that band. RIP mark sandman
Love the coffee swing in the middle of the riff I can relate! Coffee keeps those tempos up up!
I clicked on this cuz of the thumbnail having No One Knows, not disappointed
Absolutely love your guitar tone. It’s so huge, without being scratchy
My band covered 'Say It Ain't So' but I had never heard the song before. The guitarist sang it to me so I knew the vocal melody and then we practiced and played it a numerous gigs before I ever heard the Weezer version. I sing in the style of Free/LedZep so thats what our version of this song sounded like. It got a few raised eyebrows among people who knew the original song.
For me the riff that gives me the most chills is probably the good life by weezer. The bar chords have such a sad vibe.
I did that one in a previous vid.
oh thats cool
That's probably cause it goes from a G major to E major (half step down I think) so it's not a perfect fit and makes it interesting
Dude: NEED to see that full t shirt print you're wearing!!
pin.it/34UHiMT i think it's this one
I think Totalitarian Terror by Kreator is an underrated song and it still gives me the biggest chills out off all the songs on my playlist
Just went on spotify for this song and it's good man, thanks !
Good stuff! Huge props for playing all the parts, as well as the recoding and mixing of said video 🤘
Omg I remember Columbia House! Good times indeed. Keep up the awesome work!
I still owe them for Dio's Lock Up the Wolves tape. hehe

My biggest rush in this video was you drum playing, first time seeing it! I love everything about this channel
I’m SO glad you played the Prince
Damn straight I sung along :)
Love how you used all down on Live Wire, the same way Mick does. Sounded killer!
2:14 i discovered this song thanks to you man
Dropping the bend part in "Say It Ain't So" is CRIMINAL.
For me the send off riff after the solo in Dyers Eve always gave me crazy chills!
Was really happy to see Primus up there!
Oh yeah, Van Halen has got tons of fun riffs!!
Detroit Rock City! Man, that takes me waaaaay back! Well done!!!
This should definitely be a regular series. Really great job on all these dude!
Wth? dude can play every instrument
And solid talent on every instrument! Nails every drum/guitar/bass part.
I haven’t heard him sing. If I ever find out he is a really good singer too I might just sell all my gear and take up baking or something.
I have to, I have no friends. haha
Misspent youth?
love when he played that slide then the excitement as he played the war pigs riff lol
Can't wait to see Part 8 !!!
I really love these videos. every time since part 1 I just had my phone ready on my Apple Music waiting to add songs to my playlist, because all the songs you’ve played are so good and this is a such a good way to get a much bigger variety of artists on my playlist and discover songs I never would have knew before.

Overkill!!!! The Years Of Decay and Under The Influence are 2 classic albums that a lot of people are unaware of. Full of tasty thrash riffs. Bobby Gustafson is still my favourite guitarist that played in that band.
You should do a bonus of acoustic riffs that give you chills
wanted to play guitar for the very first time when i heard Kansas' _Carry On Wayward Son_ - that riff just hooked me
but i first heard that on Supernatural ^^
Dude you need to keep this going I love these series! Great vids as always!!
Upvote specifically because you called me out on singing along to Weezer. (Would have given a like regardless of course!)
Really cool watching you geeking out over these riff and enjoying playing them. You‘re just like all of us, which is something I like about your channel.
Also, agree with you about Persistence Of Time. Wish they would play that album in full one day.
Just finished a game of counterstrike with some boys. Saw the noticication and new I was in for a treat.
P.S. Midnight was one of the first full songs I learned on guitar
Whats ur rank
It’s nice to see that you are incorporating more drumming into your videos.
One of my favourite riffs is the main riff in King Crimson's Thela Hun Ginjeet, especially the bassline, so good! Their another song Level Five also has a great riff in middle section! Also Megadeth's KIMB, the main and verse riffs. I like a lot of Megadeth riffs, but it would take too much time to list all of them :D
Once again, an Overkill riff! They completely rule. Hell yeah.
Thanks for #6! I didn’t think you could resist!
They’re so good though I think we need monthly installments! No pressure 😁
Man, I swear these videos help explore music so much better. Really love how each of your these songs have some history to em. That's what I love about the 80s, 90s. You want music? Well, go get it! Can't just sit my ass down and Spotify, as convenient as it is.
Did you ever Buckethead?
Got to say props to the bass sound on this one, after that bass video it sounds killer!
I'm fixin' one thing at a time but this was a huge one. :)
The-Art-of-Guitar as a Bassist I love this thank you!
Boy do I love your vids, keep em up!
As the bass player referenced in the “Cold Gin” segment, I can confirm that it was as magical as Mike’s recollection.

We were all so tight and connected through the music, that even though the song may have been created by KISS, in that moment we owned it.
Dyl
Epic set. I kinda wish someone could have caught it on video but perhaps it's better left as a good memory. :)
Everyone saying the show was Spitting Image yes it was but in the US our "version" that people remember was DC Follies.
3 came to mind while watching.
Stranded by Gojira
Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree (main riff)
Deliverance by Opeth (the outro)
Man I really thought I was going to hear some Overkill Horoscope and some SOD! Bad ass video bro!
That Orion riff is my literal favorite riff ever written on this planet
I love the notes in between
YES!!!!! A nice surprise. Love it.
I love "Midnight" so much! Surfing with the Alien was my favorite album ever until I got into Bob Dylan in college.
Love the mention of Morphine! They did not have a guitar player, but Mark played a 3-string slide guitar sometimes, not on Buena, but I think in Thursday he plays the guitar
That last is so fckn cool, wish i could've seen them live
Ok but the intro to Go With The Flow by QOTSA is soooo good too... Also any part of No One Knows is kinda bone chilling
Aenema is a 4/3 polyrythm, if someone is struggling, you should watch some videos explaining it, it would be easier to get :) (like Adam Neely's 4:3 polyrythms video). Also you can use a phrase "pass the god damn butter" to remember it better :) (like paradiddles)
Wow this guitar is amazing man, beautiful! Jackson is great
I always thought the intro riff to Unchained is one of the best guitar parts ever. When I play it, I drag that section out just so I can keep chugging on it.
The Mountain Song...what a powerful riff
I knew Immigrant Song was gonna come after The Wanton Song
Same song right? ;)
Speaking of Disturbed, Decadence’s main riff is probably one one of my favorites, same with Inside the Fire’s chorus.
SoaD’s Jet Pilot also has an amazing verse riff, so does Creating God by A7X.
In case no one mentioned it, the show that the Land of Confusion puppets were based off of was a British comedy/satire show called Spitting Image.

"Chilling" series here to stay???
For me the most chills is the main riff from NIB Black Sabbath
3:41 demonitized
True story. :(
The-Art-of-Guitar sad but true story 😔
Tool - Bottom, my favorite. Those 16th ghosted notes I just can't play, my pick get all in the way of too many strings
Jumped the Sharks patrol these waters... That's for the Morphine at the end. Nice :)
Bass sounds really good.
Im actually so glad that you put orion here i was so sad after the previous video that you didn't include it in this series but thats my all time favorite riff

My favorite part of this video is Mike's Steven Rhodes t-shirt!
these videos sometime sounds like a guitar hero videogame setlist but thats awesome !
Dude, thanks for introducing me to Morphine, this band sounds sick :D
Check Like Swimming
Awesome, again. So ,I clicked the like button and here's a comment to help the analytics.
I love the drums in almost easy. I only wish you had the double ride like The Rev did. You nailed the beat though
That damn riff in Orion always messes with my mind when I play it lol

Now that you've reminded me, I will go back and check out the song again, although the Disturbed cover will probably always be my favorite.

I enjoyed at 14:26 when you kinda stare at your drummer self 😂 this video was rad
I'm the drummer.. I stared at the wall. haha
The-Art-of-Guitar lol that’s why i said your drummer self.. that’s why it was funny
You're not a real Rockstar until you resignated from resignation at least once.
You are amazing
