Canadian Nik was weird af
😂🤘
How long ago was this??
@@Axtrum_ almost 4 years ago
@@Axtrum_ Bros talking about their new song "Lucid" that came out in 2019 lol. That long ago
Prefer Slavic Nik
these clips be so old, Nik was still Canadian
The clip is so old Nik hadn't met Paula yet
Bradley's mystery 70's song is called "Shakin' All Over"
He let us Brits down not knowing that! And he doesn`t know the rest of the riff? And he thinks it`s from the 70s?!!!
It`s Johnny Kidd and The Pirates, no 1 on the UK charts 1960, and Britain`s first real homegrown rock hit.
That mystery 70s song is from 1960. ^^
@@BigMuff75 Right! It's been awhile since I listened to the song so I didn't remember what decade it's from. Definitely a favorite of mine and had to give it a listen after Bradley played it
@@seanschelin243 I didn't want to come across abrasive, so apologies. I like that song, too. I have made myself a little "Vientam War Era" playlist on which this song is also featured.
Rumble by Link Wray
Not surprised about Offspring at all. They are awesome.
Every time I pick up the guitar I have to play the main riff and outro to Have You Ever, such a kickass song.
@@SEEYAIAYE every time i want to play offspring, i take my 8 string fcin LTD
@@SEEYAIAYEwell i knoooooow
"hey let's hear Bradley talk about Rust in Peace... Again!" Lol
To be fair, pure love and respect to all the dudes in this video, Bradley is by far the most technically gifted. Let him talk about Lord Friedman all he wants lol
@@j_hicks838 hard disagree, Bradley is amazing at guitar but I wouldn't say better than the others in every way. Also there is no such thing as gifted, its practice, only thing Id let slide is saying someone has the dedication to practice everyday and others are more interested in doing/practicing something else.
@@bottomtext251 gifts and talent absolutely exist. Talented people may be more interested in practicing often because they learn things quicker, so they don't suffer discouragement as often as other less talented people. Lesser talented people may have the tenacity to push through their barriers and become incredibly proficient musicians.
There are 16 year olds who are better than grown adults with 25+ years of thorough experience. It's not because the 16 year old practiced more. It's a gift.
@@Kyle97x it has something to do with age, the earlier you start the faster you learn, the brain is still developing so its easier to build new connections and getting rid of bad habits. There is no link of genetics to artistic ability, only athletesism is certain to be influenced by your genetics (height for example). To cite one study thats a bit older (you can look up more recent studies):
Howe MJ, Davidson JW, Sloboda JA. Innate talents: reality or myth? Behav Brain Sci. 1998 Jun;21(3):399-407; discussion 407-42. doi: 10.1017/s0140525x9800123x. PMID: 10097018.
@@Kyle97x that example at the end is bullshit. If you have been playing for +25 years and still are bad, then you arent practicing correctly, or that much
As a bassist, one of the first songs I ever learned was For Whom the Bell Tolls, and I still love playing it 11 years later
I think mine was the chain
A7x made me wanna play guitar but synyster gates guitar parts took a long time to learn. So i went to blink 182 to learn slowly
I remember learning the beast and harlot intro when I first started that used to make me feel like a god haha
I went the polar opposite and chose system of a down to learn instead you chose punk I chose nu metal. System of a down riffs are incredibly easy to learn but sound rad
same but trivium. had to build up to corey's parts.
My first guitar was an acoustic, but I would play the Beast and the Harlot riff on it for hours. It was the first riff I learned.
Whang with the At the Gates and Cannibal Corpse riffing 🤘🤘
That sweet dreams was fking chilling
I totally forgot about that cover, one of the best!
@@Drhoward2890 Is that the Marilyn Manson cover?
@@Stereomoo yep marilyn manson cover was my first song i learned as well
I think the first song I ever learned was Radiohead - Street Spirit, but Sweet Dreams was hot on it's heels as the second. There have been plenty more guitars over the years, but I still have that original steel string acoustic I first learned these on!
That's the one i learnt too. Played the entire thing with my index finger.
Deftones - My Own Summer was the first song I learnt. As for the first song I heard that made me want to play, that would be Sepultura - Attitude 🤘
Bass player here, my song was Rancid - Ruby Soho.
no one asked
@@russell33313 God forbid the man share his experiences
@@russell33313 No one told you to reply.
Hell yeah brother! 🤘
for me it would be White Knuckle Ride. 1000s of hours spent in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX as a kid 🤣🤷🏻♂
0:50 The Kids Aren't Alright. That intro riff made me pick up my brothers guitar when I was 13
First song that i learnt myself that was outside of a Music class was Carcass-Heartwork
Only listening to rap until I was in 8th grade. Heard Metallica's And Justice and that was it. Nerdy Kirk and Papa Het had my soul. Also, for Beansy Bradley.. That's the end of Kirks solo for Enter Sandman.
Have you ever heard Immortal Technique? Check out the song Dance With The Devil
nik´s tone 👌👌👌
Fr he always has the best tone or tones the dudes ear is literally one of the best.
Linkin Park has some great riffs, and most of them are pretty easy and straight forward enough for most beginners
not until Hunting Party, they had challenging riffs.
I love playing Faint and One Step Closer
Started bass back in 2013, and my inspiration was Muse’s “Hysteria, along with that bass line being my first huge goal to play. When Rocksmith came out, I jumped on it immediately and loved when the bass expansion came out later that year, and was my teacher all the way up to where I was in two actual cover bands in 2017 and 2020. Love playing bass so much.
I love that dines played a pod. South Town was one of my first
Sounds like high school all over, again.. so muddy
They were my first concert. Let’s not talk about how it’s been more than 20 years.
@hhaste those mids better at 0
Southtown bangs so hard, POD made some awesome music back in the day, while satellite record is a banger
For me, my first song I learned on guitar was Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes. It was simple power chords, and I didn’t even know how to do open chords yet. Such a simple yet amazing song.
As a bass player, Feel good inc was the song that made me want to play bass. First song I ever learned was seven nation army.
Episode 666 by In Flames was the song that made me want to play guitar
Whoracle is a dope album
2 evangelion shirts in one video?!
My thoughts exactly
Fred Durst reference
Almost as if it's a popular series
@@dopey473 no way?!
Whangs is drake Evangelion
Brad killed that hangar 18 solo spot
Thats his thing. He put out a video playing Rust in Peace start to end no editing. Hes a cocky bugger but he can back it up.
bro plays that album once per day
I've been a drummer since 78, but when RATTs Lay it Down came out, Warren Demartini ALMOST got me to switch instruments. 😂🤘🤘
cause it's one of the coolest songs to play i get you :D
David Gilmour was my inspiration to pick up the guitar. Unholy Confessions and My Curse made me want to play metal. But now, I play mostly Polyphia and that style of music lol.
Love seeing all my fav guitar youtubers here! and becometheknight
NIK IS THE GOAT
The king of cringe some would say
@@gavenc673?
Not including Ola Englund in this video is just simply a crime
He haven't done a video with them yet.
The new wave of America heavy metal movement.
Shadows fall - crushing the belial
Of one blood was such a killer album
I loved shadows fall and still they are so good to go back and listen to now.
2:14 yes let's go! A Place For My Head is one of the heaviest Songs of all time. Hands down!
No matter how much metal i love, I grew up on the Offspring. I got so pumped when Justin started playing Offspring. Gotta keep em separated!!!
Hearing Jared bust out the Lynard Skynard made me smile REAL BIG. I never knew!
One of these, not sure which
- The Offspring - Intro to "Kids aren't alright"
- Metallica - One (Triplets at the end)
- Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (no particular song)
You can guess my age easily now.
Smoke on the water - my own summer - sonne
i really love that stephen carpenter 8 string signature guitar justin using!
lol that school of rock reference in the beginning ❤
man nik recorded this so long ago he was still in the Canada apparent now he's in the U.S.A.
Yes he is in Florida
I feel like I saw this exact video like 4 years ago.
@@amygroff17Ah yes, He's in Vice City rn.
Most of my first songs were those by Billy Talent. Ian D’sa is a tremendously underrated guitarist.
The Maiden tapestries in the background are sick!!! Still using Rockband to play my acoustic drums. Great music, lots of it, and you can play on no fail mode which mutes the drums. So you basically get drumless tracks to play along with. My first drum track is what we all learn first....Eye of the Tiger....lol
As a guitarist, it is fascinating to see what riffs people played when they were noobs. Mine would be Nirvana Come as you are and Rage killing in the name.
I watch most of these on a regular basis. Some of my favorite guitar doods 🤘🏻
I love Jared representing those sick sick riffs from POD, I learned so many songs from them when I was learning to play
Bassist here, and the song that made me beg for a bass was "King Nothing." I couldn't play it for a long time, but that bass intro was the catalyst.
Amazing nik learned all that from guitar hero 2
This video is awesome. It's hard for me to watch these RUclipsrs cause I'm not to fond of the editing styles or topics, but this video feels a lot more personal and documentary style. Makes me feel like I'm getting to know the real people behind the videos lol
Where is thedooo or soup
I see a man of culture!!!! Soup and Dooo the GOATS
I wouldn’t say The Dooo is a metal guitarist, not saying he can’t play it. the man is talented but not really metal
Facts
I could just imagine thedooo talking about his solos in “Grenade in the gravy” 😂😂
@@nicholasirizarry6068 fk yeah!!!
I play unholy confessions like that too Nik.... It's open D between each note, but easier to play with open A 🤐
It actually is open A, you can hear it on the recording, music video and live videos
@@groundedgameplayx you know... I thought this too, and it's alway sounded better when I play it this way.. It's also easier.
Is that true though? I've seen most people play open D between each note and tabs and tutorials have shown that too...
4:29 - the intro and the riff for ‘will you’ is a banger
Love Whangs evangelion t shirt, met him at sonic temple festival really cool dude
Nik playing Avenged Sevenfold hits hard
It makes me want to take the time to really learn a few songs by them and not just the riff he played in this 😂😂
Whang! Dude fkn same! The Offspring made me want to not only play but to hear more, they were my gateway musicdrug
My Curse - KSE, second part of the intro with the main riff starting, pinch harmonic, scream, double guitars. Forever my favorite metal part!
Heck yeah Jared. I may love my metal, but no era ever made guitars sing like the classic/southern rock era. Love me some Skynyrd, ZZ Top, and Molly Hatchet.
Zz Top is so good!
Southern rock influenced me so much into my metal era.. Our band was doing what I think was coined as southern metal core like once nothing, his name was iron, Maylene and the sons of disaster-ish, he is legend, a girl a gun a ghost, the Holly springs disaster, every time I die, (Memphis may fire - North Atlantic vs. North Carolina)era and embracing goodbye style. I loved that little time period there are tons more even some with a hardcore or pink influence bleed in that were sick. I loved it did a lot of the guitar writing like that. Then did my vocals with a southern yell/style when I moved to it.
Linkin Park has severely underrated riffs
Varvis in the chat!!!
you kidding? growing up you couldnt get away from that junk
The riff around 1 minute of Guilty All The Same is so great
One never said “I rate this Linkin Park riff as below what it should have been”
They sold millions of albums. Nothing about them is underrated.
Also, Pennywise Bro Hymn is so fun to metal up. Drop tune, tremolo pick, it still works.
Hahahahah unholy confessions was my first real riff too lol 5:40
R I F F S
🇨🇾
🇨🇽
🇰🇲
Mine's "The Trooper" and "YYZ". I play bass.
That was one of my first as well and strutter as well by kiss in the same night. They stay with me even if I can't remember how to play them now I got pieces of em with me
☝️🤓
For me, it was the intro to Tenacious D's The Metal and Protest the Hero's Sequoia Throne.
Protest The Hero never fails to humble me when I wanna learn one of their songs lol
@@ThisIsTheEskimofor real haha 😂 I have learned part of periphery - marigold. So I was like I wanna learn just a piece of protest the hero the other month and geez I was like nevermind lmfao 😅
8:12 YESSSS BRADLEY! That is also my favorite riff from RiP and also one of my go-to riffs every time I pick up my guitar. It’s such a fun riff and after listening to RiP for the first time, that was the first song I tried to play. Real recognize real 🤘
That place for my head riff is a fine example of the phrygian mode in action
Come out and Play was the first music video I ever saw and I'm still ultra nostalgic for every riff in it, especially the "Middle Eastern" riff
Completely agreed on "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park. That was truly one of my favourites from my childhood. That and the Doom soundtrack - the original one from 1993!
That is awesome. My first riff I learned was also Aerials. I learned it with the guitar on my lap face up as if I was playing a piano!
First song I learned all the way through was fade to black.
Most played was master of puppets, tears don’t fall, and walk.
I learned on bass first the white stripes song 😂 and some other random little riffs. Came back later after breaking my arm from skating healing from it. Right before high school my 8th grade summer. I remember learning the basics but my dad told me guitar tab and I pulled out one of the thousands of magazines he had and learn king nothing by Metallica and reigning blood by slayer. He came in and was so impressed with me I remember that feeling to this day. ❤️RIP dad.
I don't know if it's the same for you guys but for myself and nearly every other guitarist I personally know learnt "house of the rising sun" for our first song lol. Weirdly status quo made me want to learn guitar and whitesnake, specifically the "bad boys" solo made me want to learn lead. Then i tried to learn everything Metallica just like ever other metal head lol
Mike The Music Snob fkn nailed his description of Don't tread on me 😂🤘
AT THE GATES YES! Thats all I played was at the gates and Deftones and Tool growing up. Now it's Pantera after 24 years of playing
The song that made me obsessed with the guitar was The Trooper from Iron Maiden. And the first riffs I learned were War Pigs and Paranoid from Black Sabbath. Kind of surprised none on them were mentioned.
Kudos for the ECW references!
Painkiller verse riff. So fun to play
Betrayed by A7X is the first song I remember sitting down for hours on end trying to nail, followed by Cursing Ahkenaten by After The Burial (on a dinky 6-string nonetheless aha) which was my rough introduction to time signature changes. Lol. A7X still holds a special place in my heart and love trying to learn a song from them all the way through, with varying levels of success. 😅
As a fan of the band and the man's RUclips content, how the fuck did I not know Wang was in Jynx?
I had a guitar for several years before finally getting serious about learning. I had just got And Justice For All and was listening to One on repeat. Eventually I realized that I have to learn how to play it myself.
@nicknocturnal you should hear "trespass" by the haunted judging from that avenged riff, its so similar
Rage, Pantera, and a lot of street punks got me playing….bands like the Casualties, and the Unseen. Manson, Misfits/Danzig were huge influences.
My first song I ever learned was this old house, it was in my mom‘s readers digest music book.
Dines playing some Skynyrd made me ao happy as they too are a big inspiration for me.
Nice to hear some love for At The Gates.
Listen to Under The Serpent Sun.
Nik is so real about Sweet Child. For me, hearing the solo on the radio was what blew my mind and made me want to get into guitar!! Was too hard though, obviously. I think the first full complicated song I learned was Buckethead's "Asylum of Glass"! Fun times
the born of Osiris song andrew played that low was disgusting 🤯
DROP TUNING SAVED MY LIFE
Andrew Baena is the best, a couple years ago when I was in the market for my first 8 string I was messaging back and forth with him for recommendations, I was shocked he even replied let alone took the time to have a full convo with me about the pros and cons of different brands, multiscale, fanned frets, dude is just an all around awesome guy.
All That Remains-This Darkened Heart made me wanna pick up a guitar.
The first song I learned however was Pretty Fly For A White Guy🤣
I forgot which song really makes me want to pick up guitar, but I remember some of the early song I've tried to play was Godsmack - I Stand Alone, Nirvana - Come As You Are, ACDC - Thunderstruck and song from Indonesian band called Betrayer - Bendera Kuning (Yellow Flag)
The first riff I learnt was technically Chimera by Polyphia but my favourite riff ever is probably Ego Death (also by Polyphia). I used to be a classical/theory head but Polyphia (and also Tool, Dream Theater and Slipknot) have such solid compositions that it's hard not to enjoy them as someone who really appreciates that kind of music. My favourite composer is Shostakovich and I really want to learn a few of his pieces on the Guitar now (Jazz Waltz 2 is probably the smoothest piece but I'm lowkey considering learning his 11th Symphony lol).
it was the offspring for me too. Original pranksters little opening riff was the first thing i ever learned to play
becometheknight .. love your riffs dude and most like my journey. Metallica, Zeppelin . .great songs and great playing dude
POD? Those are cousins of mine. Didnt think I'd hear that name here lmfao.
Very first song I learned was suffocating under words of sorrow by bullet for my Valentine. But, my inspiration to learn guitar was as i lay dying, parkway drive, and august burns red. They all have so many insane sounding riffs I just had to say I could play all their discographies. However I'm now just writing deathcore, aliencore, djent, and anything else that fits in drop a, g, f lmao
Where is SteveT?
I think mine was something by Acid Bath. Probably God Machine or Dope Feind. Still haven’t learned either of those songs, but I remember hearing them the first couple times and wanting to learn them so bad.
"Mike the Metal Snob" - plays a tele (+1). First song is Yngwie (+1). I need to listen to this guy.
For me it was the intro to Dance of Death by Iron Maiden, it was the first actual riff i learned after i figured out how to fret the notes properly
My favourite is hallowed be thy name by Iron Maiden.. love to play it.
No one is talking about J-Dizzle absolutely SLAYING and OWNING (SLOWNING?) "Gimme Three Steps"?!?!?!
First thing I learned was the intro to Aerials, the arpeggiated part, and then as soon as I discovered power chords my most played riff instantly became Metallica's Blitzkrieg rendition
Nik and I both learned Sweet Child O' Mine first, that's cool!
Dude, how many times you break that Appetite for destruction cassette?
Me, I think about 3 or 4 just to learn that goddam riff! I've rewind it soooo many times. Not to mention doing ghetto hack on the cassette player to make it play slower.
My favorite whenever i pick up guitar is hot metal by Razor or Afraid to Shoot Strangers
