Everybody is all like ''oh, you spelled this wrong'' or ''you played this bit wrong'' How about the fact that he could play 50 different riffs that well?
MAN. I'm a 65 year old longtime student of the blues. I can't believe how much I learned from just one showing of this video. AWESOME--can't thank you enough.
you can hear so many stolen riffs: ZZ Top, Boston, Led Zeppelin, CCR and so many others in these great classic gems, but you know that's just the evolution of music, you borrow a riff=you give back a riff.
here's the thing, while many other people out there are suing each other for stolen riffs. most blues artists realize if you want blues to become the biggest, you let others build on your ideas.
Most blues artist share their songs really. Boom Boom was played by a huge selection of blues artists, but most famously by John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters for example.
+WalkingBlues Those old blues songs led to Jazz, and the changes from the folk blues of the 20's and 30's were what did it. Lots of 2-5 and 1-6-2-5 back then. That was before the Delta Blues became very 1-4-5 and minor key oriented.
Shows how deep the blues genre is when every tune in this list should be there and there are hundreds of others which should. Personally glad to see Rory Gallagher in there too
These nit pickers are absolutely unbelievable!!. Just look at what this lad a has delivered for our entertainment! The time and effort he has clearly put into this, which at the end of day sounds not just respectful to the blues, but kick ass awesome! We should all raise a glass to this great guitar player!
I'm not very into blues, but I liked this video a lot. Almost 100 years of music in just some minutes. I've always wanted to listen some more of this amazing genre but never find where to start, now thanks to You I got it. :)
Why him and not that other one ? All those comments are ridiculous. Thanks for your contribution man: you even tried to get the sounds as close to the original artists' . Great compilation of genres within the blues ! Who said you have to play note for note ?? Cheers \m/
Thank you :) It's Yamaha F310P, the cheapest model possible, recorded with Rode NT1A into Focusrite Preamp. Strings.. not sure 11-49/50, depending on what I buy, usually 11-49 recently
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover online guitar course try Grathaw Guitar Playing Expert (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
Always a bunch of fuckin haters. Where are all their videos? You sound awesome man. Great range being able to play all of them different styles. Great choice of riffs as well. Thank you for sharing. I wouldnt want to even try to pick a top 50.
great job. I found the one I was looking for. an awful lot of critics with their own opinions so I am anxiously waiting their videos since they believe they know more and can do better. let me know guys when you put your videos up so I can give you your turn at trying to please me. This wasn't about the 50 greatest blues songs or artists of all time. it was about recurring riffs. some of the guys called them hooks and some other things. Some used the same ones throughout so many of their songs it made them easily identifiable. I was looking for one in particular and forgot the artist and found it here because this nice gentleman did what he said he was going to do. Elmore James was who I was looking for. Thanks again sir for the great video. I don't play and I don't have a masters degree in the Blues so I have no room to criticize just appreciate. And guys that want a riff included then put a link to where it is so we can listen to it. Be constructive.
Dickheads will always complain on who's better, who should be listed or not listed. All I can say is thanks made for putting on an awesome display of riffs. I learned a few I didn't know, or even thought about. Now I can practice a few. Thanks for your skills!
michael jordan Mayer's blues albums and generally Gary Clark jr. are more blues than Bonamassa will ever be. There are very few songs of Bonamassa that are actually blues songs... It's more like some kind of rock music... It's not that I doubt his talent 'cause he is one of the most talented guitarists alive. But if you have an ear for original blues, Bonamassa just isn't there (however much passion he has for it...)
Rick Winter michael jordan i agree with all your saying. Just want to point out that while Bonamassa is influenced by traditional American Blues like BB King, Buddy Guy etc, his major influences were the British Blues Rock players of the late 1960s like Eric Clapton, Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), and Paul Kassoff (Free) amongst others. hence why his style is 'Blues Rock' thus covering the entire spectrum in his playing and recordings.
He's actually playing this stuff and has put a lot of time and passion into this. And it sounds really good! You know your stuff. Thank you very much for enjoying, sharing, and posting.. This is exceptional!
+brucenlittlepictures Instead of putting somewhere around 5-6 songs from Albert King.. everyone gets that hes on of the king of blues, maybe he should have put one of the most defining blues bands of the 60s. So with you on this one
Everyone is going to have suggestions as blues is such an old and wide style of music but this is a brilliant video. Top class stuff, using this platform how it should be used.
@@joeystanaway1698 yeah, homes, I'm sure. What he played had blues undertones, but doesn't mean he was a blues player. I can think of very few zeppelin songs that operate exclusively on a I, IV, V progression whether 12 bar or otherwise.
DucksDeLucks It was the second one but now that you mention it he could of put Death letter blues and walkin blues Son house and Going To Move To Alabama Charley Patton
Bluz Masina, this is one of the yummiest guitar videos I've seen; thank you for an enjoyable ride through blues riff history! I'll be passing this joint around, so to speak... Rock on, bro.
SavageDutchman I don't think either one is a blues, strictly speaking. Neither song has a memorable riff. BMW is known for its great guitar intro but that's too long to be a riff.
Everybody is all like ''oh, you spelled this wrong'' or ''you played this bit wrong'' How about the fact that he could play 50 different riffs that well?
i am listening 90% of these for the first time that was awesome for me😍
Blues has always been about improvisation anyhow, it’s a feeling music. It’s not a note for note thing, hell it’s part of what makes blues great.
I tried my best at the time. Personally, I think it's a great effort for me. Thanks for your opinion.
But its not a pure history, you got lost my friend, guitar playing superb though..
You did brilliant!!!! Keep it up :)
great job friend
I watched this vid lots of time
Феноменално. Свака част 👌
I thought that was great. Well done my friend, well done!
This is one of my most favorite guitar videos at all. I saw it 2 years ago, now I'm back and it's still looks awesome. Great idea, work, and playing!
Hi frrrrrriend
I know youuuu omg your videos are beast my friendsss
Hi Frrrend!
How He Play ball and biscuit hahahahha😂
Hi frrrrriend
Damn, those 30s stuff are sick
This has reignited my love for the blues. Thanks a million friendo.
MAN. I'm a 65 year old longtime student of the blues. I can't believe how much I learned from just one showing of this video. AWESOME--can't thank you enough.
I like how the video quality changed
you can hear so many stolen riffs: ZZ Top, Boston, Led Zeppelin, CCR and so many others in these great classic gems, but you know that's just the evolution of music, you borrow a riff=you give back a riff.
Yeah, especially in blues. Seems like they ran out of ideas by 1960.
If we went by that logic, there hasn't been an original thought since Bach.
Blues it`s not about original thoughts. It`s about how you feel it and what kind of shade you give with your voice and guitar style to the Music.
here's the thing, while many other people out there are suing each other for stolen riffs. most blues artists realize if you want blues to become the biggest, you let others build on your ideas.
Most blues artist share their songs really. Boom Boom was played by a huge selection of blues artists, but most famously by John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters for example.
Lay Down Sally is one of my favorite riffs of any genre ever. So I would definitely put it on any list of best blues riffs
Lay Down Sally, more country influenced than blues
You did a great job. It's YOUR opinion, too of what riffs best define the evolution of the blues. Loved it!
Thanks Allan, cheers.
I'm really digging the sound of 30s and 40s blues. I'm going to have to look up those artists. Great video man!
+robisafk Yeah there's something bout those old blues songs and even jazz
+WalkingBlues Those old blues songs led to Jazz, and the
changes from the folk blues of the 20's and 30's were what did it.
Lots of 2-5 and 1-6-2-5 back then. That was before the Delta Blues
became very 1-4-5 and minor key oriented.
Mississippi delta blues
Check out Son House and Junior Kimbrough
+Otso Pänttönen Thanks! I'll check em out!
I almost skipped this, thinking it'll be another selfpromoted hero, but this is the real thing. Bravo!
Shows how deep the blues genre is when every tune in this list should be there and there are hundreds of others which should. Personally glad to see Rory Gallagher in there too
lovley.If i played that around a campfire with friends we would be glowing.thanks.
A whole lot of those pre-1960's licks showed up later in other songs.
For anyone who thinks that the Blues all sound the same: stick this amazing video in your ears.
Mildly upset that Cream didn't have a look-in, but a good video nevertheless
Have to agree - very well done, but no Cream?
He did play The originals of some Crem songs e.g. Sitting on Top of the World.
DEATHWOLF 771 a lot of their songs use the blues scale
@@jsm2420
so as born under a bad sign
This should be a go to for all guitarist who are interested in blues and rock guitar. Well done my friend.
Great compilation, thanks for the effort and sharing with us.
These nit pickers are absolutely unbelievable!!. Just look at what this lad a has delivered for our entertainment!

At first I thought, oh here we go,but I gave it a chance, and put this on my favorites list. Great lesson, I'm happy. Wow what a bunch of commas.
Why him and not that other one ? All those comments are ridiculous. Thanks for your contribution man: you even tried to get the sounds as close to the original artists' . Great compilation of genres within the blues ! Who said you have to play note for note ??
Cheers \m/
thank you. for playing and NOT talking folks to death. Well done!
Thank you :)
It's Yamaha F310P, the cheapest model possible, recorded with Rode NT1A into Focusrite Preamp. Strings.. not sure 11-49/50, depending on what I buy, usually 11-49 recently
Lot of work. It's good to see all of this put into an historical context - Thanks
Thank you very much sir for introducing me to Albert King, who is now my favorite blues guitarist.
Thank you for blues education, I'm realy enjoy
Glad you like it Dmitro. Cheers
I'm proud to say I'm related to the great John lee ! Never got to meet him though :/
I'm jealous, I only share his birthday lol close enough ig
hey thats still pretty cool not gonna lie lol! i really wish i got to meet him. gone to soon
what relation?
and I am ashamed because I am related to great Rebecca black.
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover online guitar course try Grathaw Guitar Playing Expert (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.
I missed Chitlins con Carne by Kenny Burrell, but excelent video, i love it since I was like sexteen and I'm twenty one now
Holy Smoke Stack Lighting! Well done man!
Boom Boom
Haw haw haw haw
Real nice share here Blux Masina - thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
Yes! Rory Gallagher!
+Josh Robinson Yes indeed! 07:41
Wow, hearing these I realize so many of these riffs were taken and made into "classic" rock songs and the like. Superb video
Yeah I become aware of this also when doing research for the video.
That SG looks amazing
+Kar Smith i think it looks crappy
+Jonathan Jensen Well that was unnecessary and uncalled for
+Kar Smith Yeah I agree... It looks kinda shit
I think it may be a Raw Power because of the maple board
I think it looks awesome, and I'm more of a Les Paul guy myself.
I thought he was gonna forget 'bout Bonamassa, but right at the end my mouth was shut. Nice work.
Well he didn’t
No Cream or Zeppelin, which is weird. Still a fantastic video.
It's because they are rock bands
Kane Dosser yeah rock bands that played blues.
Eric Clapton is blues to the core.
+TheFirst MichaelPainter he was. back in the day. but i think jimis death hit him bad and he lost his grip
the best compilation thank you....love it...god bless
cheers :)
Ball and Biscuit is surely my favourite blues track ever
Mine too! Though he did not by any stretch play it correctly.
When the white stripes done blues they done blues
He also got the year wrong. It came out in 2003 not 2002.
Easily one of the best videos of its kind on the entire inter web on many levels
Always a bunch of fuckin haters. Where are all their videos? You sound awesome man. Great range being able to play all of them different styles. Great choice of riffs as well. Thank you for sharing. I wouldnt want to even try to pick a top 50.
+Brian Joseph Haters gonna hate! Players gonna play!! I keep Rockin & Rollin! If they hate, then they just Jelly!! \m/ ©
You deserve respect. You are a true master.
Thanks a lot man. I appreciate it.
"wait what.. no this, no that??" it's kinda hard when you're only doing 50 riffs.. geez
+douchebagdix xYeah i guess 50 is not enough for all the great blues songs
True, It's a short RUclips video, not a freaking encyclopedic audible music archive.
great job. I found the one I was looking for. an awful lot of critics with their own opinions so I am anxiously waiting their videos since they believe they know more and can do better. let me know guys when you put your videos up so I can give you your turn at trying to please me.

These riffs are amazing, they really make you feel the music!
At 8:30 I was like YES!
Wow I’d did not expect this video to go all the way back to the 30’s
If you mention Joe Bonamassa here you should have mentioned Gary Clark jr and John Mayer as well...
michael jordan Mayer's blues albums and generally Gary Clark jr. are more blues than Bonamassa will ever be. There are very few songs of Bonamassa that are actually blues songs... It's more like some kind of rock music... It's not that I doubt his talent 'cause he is one of the most talented guitarists alive.

Rick Winter Bonamassa takes blues to the next level, in my eyes, he single handely brought the blues into the 21st century.
TheBlisterer You're eyes are blind
***** Speak for yourself, I love him. But I also love SRV, Gary Moore, the delta players and many other greats.
Fantastic list. Great selection of riffs. Everybody can argue someone was omitted but it would be nitpicking. Great playing too.
80s comes around
*Stevie Ray Vaughan has entered the chat*
90s come around, Stevie has left the chat :(
Bluz Mašina 😞
So surprised you responded this much time later though 😂 good playing man
@@stew-tube Thanks man :)
Great stuff! Thanks for compiling this.
what about T-Bone Walker?
one of my favorite vids on youtube 👏👏
How about Early Black Keys? (Or up to el Camino)
Wow you're amazing. I'd brag so hard if I was able to play 3 of these awesome riffs. Thank you for your hard work
Thanks
when the levee breaks
loved the first few because i love early blues
Should've included the Black Crowes during the 90's
makes one realise how many good music already exists
good video, thumbs up
I am proud to see that Tedeschi Trucks closed it out though. Good call. Haha
You surely do a nice job on those tunes, brother...Shalom, birdsongz
Gary Mooore, fuck yeah! ;D
He's actually playing this stuff and has put a lot of time and passion into this. And it sounds really good! You know your stuff. Thank you very much for enjoying, sharing, and posting.. This is exceptional!
Wait.. the riff of The grange song by ZZTop is a copy of Boogie Chillen?
Stop following me dude
Busca la cancion "Ain't That Just Like a Woman" de Lous Jordan.
Chaz Brangwin Ya la eh escuchado, ta chida, ah y te seguiré hasta la tumba, juasjuasjuas(¿
Bueno el riff de al principio suena MUY parecido al famoso riff de Johnny B Goode, de Chuck Berry xD
+Sonic Saiyan Como te diste cuenta de que hablaba español? xD
Impressive. Thanks for sharing these licks.
He's playing a Yamaha no wonder he sounds good..
Yeah.. haha.. 100eur yamaha..
Great and a great guitar collection I'm impressed 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Allman Brothers, man.
+brucenlittlepictures Instead of putting somewhere around 5-6 songs from Albert King.. everyone gets that hes on of the king of blues, maybe he should have put one of the most defining blues bands of the 60s. So with you on this one
WAIT YOU DIDN'T PLAY.... Jeez, what a bunch o whinners. Top shelf representation and the time it must have takin to learn them all! A+
no john mayer? he is one of few blues player of this age...
The tones are uncompressed! Sounds so good!
No Charley Patton ? Blind Blake ? Blind Willie McTell ? Mississippi John Hurt?
Gold video for me...thanks...
And the black keys ? where are there?
was looking to see if anyone else thought the same thing
Everyone is going to have suggestions as blues is such an old and wide style of music but this is a brilliant video. Top class stuff, using this platform how it should be used.
No Bluesbreakers era Clapton? It deserves a mention just for influence alone.
Omg! I aprecciate your time doing this! Awesome
no Jimmy page?!!
G C I don’t think that was the intended message of this video 😕
Jimmy wasn't a blues player
What Jimmy played was never pure-blooded blues. It was blues, but slightly tweaked into what you'd know as hard rock.
@@alfred1599 you sure homes?
@@joeystanaway1698 yeah, homes, I'm sure. What he played had blues undertones, but doesn't mean he was a blues player. I can think of very few zeppelin songs that operate exclusively on a I, IV, V progression whether 12 bar or otherwise.
Awsome Guitar Playing 🙋
Your acoustic sounds like it's ran through pedals & amplified? If so, sweet.
whoaa.. this video is adictive! Since I started watching it , I couldnt stop. Nice playing! great!
63 people got da blues
Great performance, I enjoy a lot watching your video
Where's Charlie Patton and Son House?
Do you have particular riffs in mind or are you just trying to name famous blues guys who aren't represented?
DucksDeLucks It was the second one but now that you mention it he could of put Death letter blues and walkin blues Son house and Going To Move To Alabama Charley Patton
DucksDeLucks
Blind Mellon Jefferson.
top shelf. kudos. a wealth of inspiration. thank you.
What what what? No damn ledbelly?
Lead*
+Daniel Malone You know, I always found Leadbelly to be more of a Folk musician but you could definitely call him important to both genres.
I can agree on that
Love this, man. Now to learn 50 riffs in fifty days!
Surprised a black keys song wasn't used
Bluz Masina, this is one of the yummiest guitar videos I've seen; thank you for an enjoyable ride through blues riff history! I'll be passing this joint around, so to speak... Rock on, bro.
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is missing...
Agreed
I'm glad someone noticed, Oh Well should be up there or even Rattlesnake Shake!
clikityclak What about Man of the World or Black Magic Woman
Might as well throw Without You or Before the beginning.. or even If You Be My Baby
SavageDutchman I don't think either one is a blues, strictly speaking. Neither song has a memorable riff. BMW is known for its great guitar intro but that's too long to be a riff.
That was AWESOME!! Thanks man.
I feel upset for the lack of led zepp in this list but still a good one
+BreadnButterJohnski uhh..? this video is titled blues riffs not rock.. haha wow
+Justin Delille jimmy page-blues guitarist robert plant-blues singer jpj-blues bassist john bonham-blues drummer and they have blues riffs also
+chickenarms 12 I can't believe you just said that lol so ignorant
+chickenarms 12 blues with distortion lol
I would've paid $$$ for this and here it is all free! Thanks so much!
wow lio messi plays guitar so well
I thoroughly enjoyed it, but was surprised by the lack of 60's British blues.
You so fucked up Ball and Biscuit...
+Kacper White really
yes... that's horrible to my ears
+Kacper White Couldn't agree more
It's too distorted really. Don't get me wrong I love Jack but I wouldn't say the riff is all that historic.
You wouldn't? Tell me another riff in the 2000s that keeps the 12 bar blues alive in the rock genre.
LOVE! Your "dirty" tone at 10:12 For, He Don't Play Nothin' But The Blues.
ball and biscuit sounded a bit off but still awsome video
Oh well that's because "ball and biscuit" is not played with a slide
Techreview channel like you could play it better
Brilliantly put together !
I'm sure Blues Personified must hail to you !
Respect !
