Thanks!!!
Definitely agree with Ticket to Ride, I remember getting heavily thrown off with the rhythm just because I thought the drums were going off-time but that’s just one of the reasons why Ringo is so good
"When my sister was into hair metal"
Yeah sure,your sister. I've seen the livestreams bro.
fight fire with fire always caught me off guard.
When I was in a band in high school, we decided we wanted to do like a punked out version of Ticket to Ride, which meant we were gonna change the drum beat to something more “Ramonsey,” up the tempo, and add a power chord rhythm guitar. The bass player (huge Beatles fan) and I got into a full blown argument over where the 1 was in that opening riff, and thus where the drums souls start. I don’t remember who ended up being right, but that probably means it wasn’t me, lol.
I would submit Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" intro...always tricks me. Also, very cool digging in on "Hy Pro Glo". "Sound of White Noise" is somewhat underrated when discussing great 90's metal albums.
Me too! Go Your Own Way will always be "wrong" to my ears

You are such a great teacher. Thank you.
Quality work and quality video. Well done.
Tricky intros and off-rhythms are sooo fun haha 😄 I like having them up my sleeve to throw off my jam buddies. 😅 Rush has a lot of 'em that I try to learn.
You look like John Cusack… a LOT! First time I heard the Beatles’ “Because” the rhythm of the keyboard intro fooled me a bit.
Dude. For ticket, I’ve been playing for nearly 20 years. I still hear it the way you hear it. I need my “Paul” to give me the 1 before the drum fill. 😅
Great vid and level 10 tones dude
It's funny that you've loved Anthrax ever since you heard Antisocial, but this song is actually a cover of a french song, it's not an actual Anthrax song :)
Yes, that's Trust, great band!
The intro of Ziggy Stardust is played wrong lots of times, that is the inversion of the D-chord.
Light’s Out - Royal Blood
Run - Foo Fighters
2:20 - Colony House
all do this to me
Ones that tricked me:
Swap Meet by Nirvana (even when the drums came in it took a minute to figure out the beat)
Formicary by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (the guitar plays one 16th note late into the bar which throws everything off at first)
Shutterspeed by Karnivool (even with the right tempo the drums come in at a weird time that throws you off)
Interesting video. I think I recall a video of yours addressing "Ticket to ride".. Good work!
Something that always messed with my sense of time was Ace's solo in "Firehouse" (Alive version). It's as if the band is doing the usual 4/4 and Ace is playing in some Adam Neely unobtubplets but it seemed to work out in the end.
Dance Macabre by Ghost
It starts on the 4, and it took me awhile before it didn't weird me out
Another example is the initial bass groove on the John Patitucci song “Puccini” from Mistura Fina….after the lovely bass solo intro, bass groove and percussion kicks in….then it “flips” when the vocal hits! Might be something familiar to those with experience in Brazilian beats, but it is deliciously confusing to me still after all these tears of listening to it. Also, if you haven’t yet been introduced to the master John Patitucci……you’re very welcome. Cheers, all.
Even when you played the correct version of the Bad Company song with the full band, I still couldn't understand it. I still heard the 1 where you heard it. It just sounded like the rest of the band was playing out of time. I had to go listen to the album version with the vocals to be able to process it. What a strange riff.
Evile-What You Become threw me off the first time I heard it.
The intro to Eye of the Tiger, one of the chords always feels like its on the wrong beat to me
Another example is 'I Live You Die' by Flotsam & Jetsam. You think the bass intro starts on the 1 beat, but it actually starts on the & of the 4 beat.
I love Danger Danger! Two legends in the same band - Ted Poley on vocals and the severely underrated Andy Timmons on guitar. Great hard rock. I still listen to the Monkey Business album.
Btw, Andy Timmons has written one of my funeral songs. On your way sweet soul. Beautiful music.
That Bad Co one is filthy
I know Adam Neely already talked about it in a vid, but man, the intro to Drive My Car is SO WEIRD rhythmically.
ruclips.net/video/oicf__kh-OQ/видео.html
Rebel Rebel riff is way simpler than that. It’s just a D add 9 and E both in open position.
I used to have the exact opposite scenario with Metallica's Whiplash. I used to think that the first triplet of notes marked the & of the 4 beat, with the fourth note in the initial blast of the opening riff hitting the 1 beat. As such, the cymbal crash marking the start of the tom-tom section always seemed to come in half a beat too early.
I've now come to realise that I was over complicating things - the first note of the song is simply on the 1 beat (a triplet spans the 1 count, with the fourth note that completes the initial blast hitting the & after the 1 beat). That way, the cymbal crash/start of the toms comes in exactly where you would expect (on beat 1 of the third bar.)
Metallica didn't really start experimenting with odd/confusing/unexpected timings until the Ride the Lightning album.
Why are there parts of video arcade games in the back? Defender and Robotron?
You should a video on the tunings of Van Halen. Particularly on Panama. Can never get it right!
"little dreamer" starts on the one, but always confuses me.
Bad Company is such an underrated band!!
I always wondered whether things like that could have been due to musicians just not playing clear enough accents to help make it more apparent. Then again, it could be in some cases they prefer the ambiguity or just don't want it telegraphed or so blatant or else it would detract from the music (if that makes sense). One intro that always stumps me with its groove changes until it all comes together just before the vocals is The Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up".
Take It Easy by Eagles is a classic that get a lot of people by surprise
Off beats are always the best.
Going Crazy by David Lee Roth - that's still quite confusing to me, even though I figured out how the intro is supposed to be counted (starts on the and of 1).
The intro to Slint - Nosferatu Man has always melted my brain…what in the hell is even going on?
There's a 6/4 intro with just drums, and then the song proper kicks in, which is in 5/4.
Bro please do this with Around the World riff by RHCP. This riff confuses me to this day. Please!!
Never heard of practically most of these songs so alot of these were WTF moments when I heard the versions you thought that were gonna be heard lol especially the Men at Work its a mistake song, that one caught me off guard 😅
“Automatic Stop” - The Strokes. “Take It Easy” - The Eagles. “This Charming Man” - The Smiths.
How about "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey"? 😁
Eddie was the master of swinging grooves!
Milk Cow Blues by Aerosmith, off of draw the line.
'The Shortest Straw' by Metallica is the ultimate example of this for me. Only recently found out the true timing they are playing the intro to and it blew my mind, so much simpler than when you take the first chord stab to the be the '1' which makes the whole thing sound very odd and random (which I liked, of course, after years of hearing it that way!)
Broken Beat and Scarred and Holier, and probably a couple other too do the same for me. I mean, fuck, I didn't get the counting of the Holier intro until I learned to play it.
Eagles "Take It Easy".
The DRIVE MY CAR into... no matter how many times I have it explained it still never makes any sense to me.
ruclips.net/video/oicf__kh-OQ/видео.html
For some reason, I Want You To Want Me has always been my Achille’s heel. I can never find the one, one wherever the guitar starts, while playing with a band. Embarrassing!
AC/DC's Riff Raff caught me out at first
Cobra Kai nunca muere
dancing days - led zeppelin
*confused look* I think my drummer is right....I. don't understand timing 🤣
i had to physically or whatever search for you dude! stupid youtubes stupid algorithms or whatever. started thinking you got kidnapped or something. glad you didnt. but i sure did geta mountain of ransom donations. im swimming in candy
Isn’t that odd? Thank you for searching.
Not an intro but this section in the middle of City Boy - "Ambition" will trick you multiple times in a row ruclips.net/video/SwJ1ZSi9tWw/видео.html
First one sounds like Live Wire
That song is also quite tricky, at least the ending where they start and stop the song four times
Starts by sounding like Live Wire then becomes Shout At The Devil lol
The Beatles "Drive my car" is the one everybody stumbles on!
And "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey". I must have listened to it over 100 times and I still can't make any sense of it.
03:04 Men At Work - It's A Mistake. SO GLAD you put this song on this list!! I absolutely love this intro, and it threw me for a loop the first ten times I repeated it when I first heard it! Such a fun intro, and once you figure it out, it just hits that much harder! Love it. Thanks for the video, Mike!
Love It's a Mistake. Fun to play
The middle bit in Megadeth's "Good Mourning/Black Friday" when it's just Dave's guitar kicking into the fast riff (the "Killer, destroyer, homicial maniac" verses) will forever be impossible for me to hear right until the rest of the band joins. Such a great moment.
bro that’s honestly their best song. easily the best megadeth intro, followed by chris polands best solo (the first one), and 2 of dave’s greatest solos immediately after.
@@blunderless AGREED. That song hits harder than pretty much anything. That whole album is perfection but Black Friday is a whole other level entirely.
I think a lot of Alex Lifesons riffs are wierd when played by themself without the rest of the band
Maybe their most underrated song, top 3 for me
I really wanted you to keep playing Panama!
I've heard Ticket to Ride with it's original drum beat so much that when I heard your version I actually thought you were coming in late on the second snare hit in each bar 😂
Hy Pro Glo is actually the first Anthrax song I ever heard. I first saw the video on Beavis & Butthead and I remember feeling like just had to go buy the Sound Of White Noise album. I went and got the cd and I've been a huge Anthrax fan ever since.
Now I know why Panama has always been wrong when I played. Thanks a million! 👍🏻
The Bad Co. riff sounds like Live Wire goes country lol. Ticket to Ride always gets me too, Thanks for awesome video!
Over your shoulder by Motörhead is just the best surprise intro beat ever!! Do that one!
The intro to "All My Life" from the Foo Fighters gets me every time. The first beat doesn't make sense to my ear and I expect the vocals to come in a beat later than they really do.
Just What I Needed - The Cars.
Good Times Roll and All Mixed Up are even more of a mindfuck
I love intros that "fool" the listener like those, excelent video!!
Great Stuff Mike! Thank You!
Congrats on 805k Subscribers! Love a bit of Bad Co, and Rebel Rebel is one of my fave Bowie tunes. Definitely prefer the actual beat to Hy Pro Glo, it's got more of a swing to it. I love Ticket To Ride, it always sounded to me like the beat just stumbles in haha. So weird I bought Van Halens' 1984 last night, I have it digitally but I want a CD for my car. I've got a hankering for Van Halen blasting as I drive to/from work and it's the weather for it right now 🤘🔥
I Got Two Words by the English band It Bites has such a cool looping vocal effect during the intro. To me it sounds backwards first, then all of the sudden things turn around and move forward. You’ll understand once you hear it. The album is called Sailing Ships
Intersting as per usual. Night & day between some of them. The John Sykes track Soul Stealer just popped into my head🤔✌️🇦🇺
That tape strap is looking tight man 🤘
I've always struggled with the first note of Panama too. Even when playing along to an interactive tab I miss the note. Glad it's not my sense of timing that's wrong, just the way I was counting it xD
That's not the real way to play Rebel Rebel!
I do the SRV variation. hehe.
So happy to see It's a Mistake in there, it is SUCH an underrated guitar song, the solo never gets brought up despite how amazing it is! Awesome vid
I’ve never seen anyone play the “Rebel Rebel” riff with the slide. Always just thought it was an open string.
Urgent🎸 by Foreigner and High Way To Hell of course🎸🎸
Metal Militia by Metallica has a similar odd timing effect in my ears, between the sync of the guitars and drums. I hear it one way in the intro, then I hear it another way in the choruses. I just don't have the music vocab to describe it, but I know something feels weird.
yea... "when your sister was into hair metal". It's over 30 years ago, it's ok.
I’m looking forward to writing intros that mess with your head now 🤪
They had 1984 on 8 track?
Yeah, they were sorta rare though.
Hmmm, every lesson I've seen and all the Live footage shows him playing all it based off the 1st D chord. I've seen dozens. Also Bowie plays that, not Mick Ronson (I know you didn't say that, but)
I would like to see a tab or a breakdown of what you are doing. Looks easier than jubling around all the D stuff.
Um the obvious one to me is “Aenema” by Tool. Feels like a straight quarter note although slightly odd 6/4 riff, aided of course by Maynard’s “hey, hey, hey, hey” … and of course is a 6/8 triplet feel when the band kicks in
do you have a P.O. Box? I was gonna throw out an old Curt Mitchell VHS tape where he teaches Pantera riffs, but I'll send it to you if you're interested. It's got a few errors here and there. Maybe enough content for this video series ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Check out "Shake Your Foundations" by AC/DC. I've known that tune for 30 years and I still need to listen to it a few times in a row before I can "hear it correctly". Also, if I don't listen to it for an extended period, I tend to "lose it" again 😅
The Cars 'Let the Good Times Roll" tricked me. Ric Ocasik starts the song so you assume he starts on 1. But when the rest of the band comes in you realize he's playing all down strokes on up beats. To complicate things, he continues the motif even after the rest of band comes in on the 1 and stays that way.
Am I the only one who hears a resemblance of the first riff to "Motley Crue - Lime Wire"?
Everyone plays the section before the solo in "Stairway to Heaven" on the wrong beats. Also, "The Mirror" by Dream Theater does this intentionally.
Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon and Little Bones by The Tragically Hip always screwed up my cover bands.
Haven't watched the vid yet, but if Swap Meet isn't gonna be one of those, i'd be quite disappointed
upd: i did watch the vid, and i was disappointed (unless there's another "ear trickery" vid i didn't watch)
Mike, you have messed up my brain! I was in the garden earlier when I heard the distinctive call of a wood pigeon, and I found myself wondering if the first hoot falls on the 1 beat or on the & of the 4 beat! 😜😂
What makes Ticket to Ride a great song is Ringo’s cool drum beat
I always wonder how many of these came about by the drummer getting the guitarist's original feel wrong, but it sounded cool so they ran with it. Maybe none of them, but I always wonder.
01:55 it complete bends my brain that anyone could hear this riff play that way. Even when the drums come in I can't hear it and it makes it sound like the drummer is playing the beat all skewed.
Judas Priest - The Rage. After all these years, I still don't understand where the beat is in the "reggae" sections...
Song intros that fooled my ears for a long time: Take it easy, Lonely boy, Everybody wants you, Drive my car
It sounds deceptively simple, but I find the into (and most of the rhythm/timing) on The Beatles' "She's A Woman" to be pretty damn challenging. There's a shift from the opening downbeat to upbeat (or is it the other way around?) that just defeats me! 😵💫
Panama was on the 1984 album. Your dad had it on 8 track? I bought it on cassette when it came out..
the rhythm guitar for the song since you’re gone which is played by ric ocasek is so off it does that through the whole song single notes i’m talking about the album version
love these videos keep them coming mike
Not a guitar riff, but radiohead's Pyramid Song will really mess you up
I can only assume that you originally learned these via isolated guitar tracks, because the 1 on these tunes is pretty evident in the full band recordings. That said, this is definitely a helpful video for the confused learners out there.
