  • Even the greatest guitar players have to start somewhere. We've asked countless shredders what the first riff they ever learned was, and one answer came back more than any other.
    In this video, you'll see artists like Slipknot's Jim Root, Steel Panther's Satchel, and Alter Bridge's Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy perform and discuss the riff that started it all for them.

    Thank you, Kirk, for saying that everyone plays the song differently and showing everyone where the correct placement is and should be!

    I'm a little younger. Mid 40s. Mine was the "Come as you Are" beginning melody. It's very easy to figure out, single strings. But very fun to pick.

    My first riff was "Taking care of business" by BTO. I was 15 years old, wow how time flys.

    My first riff was Last Train to Clarksville. I didn't even know how to properly tune a guitar, but I just kept going, figuring things out as I went along, until I got it right.

    I think mine was Paranoid. Even now it is still almost always the first thing I play when I pick up a new guitar
    Also, that lap steel version sounds awesome

  • @wrinkleneckbass
    @wrinkleneckbass 7 месяцев назад +6

    I think Satchel and Kirk were the only two to play the riff in the right key.

  • @BlindGordie
    @BlindGordie 7 месяцев назад +13

    My first riff I ever learned was actually a Queen song, The Hitman and in a sense, it is the litle brother of Smoke On The Water. However, Day Tripper by The Beatles was technically the first rock riff I learned to play.

    • @MisterAutist
      @MisterAutist 7 месяцев назад +3

      It was either that or Iron Man also on the low E string (I'm assuming everyone else done the same thing).

    It is amazing that in most cases, this is true. First riff I learned was on a beat up guitar I found in the trash that had 3 strings. I didn't know how to tune it but I learned "Smoke on the Water" on the low E string. Played it wrong but learned the intervals at least.

    I’m glad that your video title is not click bait. But it does come off as well… How do I say it?
    What sentences are similar to “Guitarists plays riffs every guitarist learns?”
    How about “A vocalist sings,”
    “A teacher teaches,”
    “A zombie does zombie things,”
    “A vampire doing Vampire things,”
    “A person doing regular persons things.”
    The list goes on. So the problem with the title is not that it’s click bait, but in a weird way it is since I clicked on this video thinking it was going to be funny. Where u r just being captain obvious on purpose as a comedic getup. But I’m guessing that wasn’t intentional, so I am not saying the title is click bait.
