Wanted to share some more riffs that taught me guitar! This is a follow-up to ruclips.net/video/63uVoDUW05A/видео.html if you'd like to hear about some other riffs that helped me learn :). Thanks to MOOER for sponsoring this video, you can check out the Hornet 05i here: amzn.to/3RvWA9r (affiliate link)
Hall of the mountain king seems like a fun exercise. Famous tone from Norway's beloved Edward Grieg (my home country). Metal and a lot of other music could not have existed without a classical foundation. Tony Iommi even mentioned his influence from classical on the "Black Sabbath" song.
The riffs for Paranoid are some of the first that helped me learn palm muting too! I like that riff you played from Nightwish. I like them too, but I haven't learned any of their riffs yet. Think I'll change that starting with She Is My Sin. Sick video 🤘🏻
Much respect, I have watched you from the start. I tried learning the guitar, but gave up. I'm glade you have done so well at learning and playing and sharing your skills.
there's still time John, I tried to play guitar at 16, then when I was 23ish, now I have finally been playing for nearly 4 years straight (just reached 40yo). Just don't worry about the outcome, pick that guitar and lear an easy riff you are passionate about :) you can do it, if you are having fun you will learn a 2nd riff and just go one riff at a time :)
Totally agree, I am so much better at learning when I'm passionate about the song/riffs. Although, I see that my technique gets behind for styles that I don't feel so keen, so I focused on lead for my first 3 years, and now I see some basics of Palm mutting that I still haven't nailed... I see that's also important as I am trying to cover all the guitars nowadays (rather than just the one)... very instructive video, as always :)
Always love your videos. I was trying to figure out which riff you liked most, but you seem to love them all. The tone on the Ghost riff was amazing through that tiny amp, but Nightwish was my favorite one there. Rock on!
Incredible playing as always Rachel! You do these songs/riffs justice by playing them with incredible precision! Can’t wait for the next video, maybe more vlogs? Hope you’re staying well!
Very interesting! Sometimes I just watch Rachel because of her good spirit! And what I really value: She is not playing out the "feminine charms" which some other female guitarists on RUclips do - yes they may be good, but it doesn't feel right, rather manipulative. So thanks Rachel for what you are.
@@RachelfGuitar I agree one of the most amazing bands out there in my opinion. Just saw a clip of floor Jensen saying a new album is on the way from them.
Hey Rachel, please let Ibenez know your followers appreciate your content. I ordered this same guitar, an updated version from Sweetwater just a couple months ago. Love it. Having it set up next week with #9 strings, lower action, and a new nut. The next guitar will be a Fender Strat of G&L. I'm leaning G&L. Would love to see some reviews of a G&L. Thank you again for all your hard work in creating this content, it is very much appreciated. FYI... I also picked up a Baby Taylor for travel, in Mahogany, it's perfect.
Leo Fender himself said if you’re going to buy a Stratocaster style guitar, get a G&L, as he kept improving on his original design throughout his long career and G&L was the last guitar company he owned. Having owned each myself, I can recommend the G&L version wholeheartedly.
That Ibanez is still my favorite of your guitars. That top is just gorgeous! It’s really neat to look at songs that helped you a lot in your journey and it helps to have the footage to compare between then and now. It really helps to record yourself playing and revisit those videos. Would actually be cool if you show people how to organize all the practice videos for easy referencing for one’s future self whether a person uses a computer or phone. Video idea? 🤔 We all go through struggles while we are first learning new things. When we get to a point that the song is recognizable, we are proud - but then we start to realize that it’s all in those minute details if we want to truly make it sound like the original recording or our favorite live performance. Looking back, it’s sometimes incredible to think that I struggled to do ______ (insert skills, songs, etc.) when I started playing in March 2020, yet can now do those things with ease. Then again, each time I learn something new, I sound like a beginner again, lol. Probably happens to most of us! When you toss a new challenge into the mix, it’s like the fingers forget what to do the rest of the time, lol. 😂 Thanks, Rachel! Btw, do they make a larger version of that amp? It looks so much bigger in the Amazon pics, lol. That recording feature is great. It really helps that you can plug it directly into a phone and have better audio recording quality. Btw, the JamStack 2 amp just started shipping after several years of delays between a pandemic and technical issues. It’s going to make all those popular practice amps, as well as some larger ones, look like toys with the specs and features they built in. I hope you’ll get your hands on one to let us know what you think! It’s gonna be legit. I can tell from the demo vids they’ve posted for months now. I was most impressed when they used it in a loud, full convention center setting and the amp was heard loud and clear from a nice distance away. Seems to work with nearly any instrument that has a jack - they showed it being used with guitar, bass, e-violin, and they all sound amazing. I’m very excited about this thing. Would be great if you can check it out.
Thanks! They do make a similar larger amp, the SD30i. I think that may be listed on the same page. I used that one in the other 5 riffs that taught me guitar video! Haven't heard of the JamStack, will check it out :)
I love any Heart song but I didn't learn that riff until 6 years after I started! No internet back then. 🤣 another favorite first was Led Zeppelin's "Over the Hills and Far Away". Taught me riff to chord changes. Love your vids Rachel, and your beautiful guitars ❤️❤️
I thought i already knew what the greatest electrical guitar looked like then you started playing that ghost riff on a new one. It reminds me of a cosmic nebula It has taken the throne
My friend, keep growing! You are doing great! I have been playing for 40 years now and still love to play! I once was in a terrible band called Raging Flare and we went no where fast! In the really short time we existed (3 months) people thought our band name was Rachel Flair. So even though I'm a guy...I chose that name as my youtube name to remind me of how crappy things can be. After that band I met Paul Chapman, lead guitarist from the band UFO and Waysted (LOOK THEM UP!) and took lessons from him for 3 years! Please listen to the song 'Heroes Die Young' from Waysted. Pete Way was the lead singer and bass player hence the name Waysted. But PLEASE listen to that song! Paul Chapman on all lead guitars! My career has allowed me to meet Rick Derringer, Robin Trower, Lindsey Buckingham, Yngwie Malmsteen, Buddy Guy, Samantha Fish, Vinnie Moore, Vivian Campbell, Johnny Van Zant, Randy Bachman, Mark Farner, Herbie Hancock, the real Molly Hatchet band, Andy Powell, and Art Alexsakis of Everclear. All because I was a session player for many different bands...many unknown. Music has freed my soul and allowed me to meet many of my heroes! ROCK ON!!! Never look back!!
1:50 Iommi not only plays it differently than you, but also bars all three string here. ;) You have a video on yt with him playing it. I bet he just probably got bored with playing same patter with time, so it may sound different than on recording.
Rachelf I noticed you started later as an adult female I'd like to know I myself am a way much older male adult but can I learn to play on your level but how does one go about this thanks I APPRECIATE your FEEDBACK 🤘🤘🤘
Hi Rachel I've been following your channel for a long time. I see that you mostly use the same Ibanez guitar. Can you tell me how much you use your other guitars? I'm especially curious about your Ibanez S that wasn't seen lately on your channel? Do you find it uncomfortable in comparison to your other guitars?
That's something I've consciously worked on over time. Try playing a scale (or even just the chromatic scale) up and down the neck slowly and consciously try to keep all your fingers close to the fretboard and you play it. The pinky is usually the hardest!
Wow i was wrong, when i saw Heart riff in the Title i was 110% sure it was going to be Barracuda lol, i was all ready to post how that riff helped my playing too when i first started, guess not lol.
ITS THE MANDELA EFFECT PARANOID WAS ALWAYS HAD THE ALTERNATE INTRO PICKING. I SH U NOT BRO I SWEAR IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND THIS VERSION WAS THE "INCORRECT" NO GOD PLEASE NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

She Is My Sin has so many fun riffs! Hope you have a good time with it too :)
She Is My Sin RULES!!!
It’s been pretty cool to follow along with your progress. Getting better all the time!
The 5th riff is interesting for sure. Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow version is my favorite.
I learned more about playing guitar in this 15 minute video than I have in lessons for years. Thank you++
So happy to hear that! Thanks :)

I loved that you showed specifically what it was about each riff that helped you, and then broke them down even further. This video is wonderful. 🎸✨
Thanks so much! :)
i made it early.
great sounding riffs. you've come along way.
Always love your videos. I was trying to figure out which riff you liked most, but you seem to love them all. The tone on the Ghost riff was amazing through that tiny amp, but Nightwish was my favorite one there. Rock on!
Incredible playing as always Rachel! You do these songs/riffs justice by playing them with incredible precision! Can’t wait for the next video, maybe more vlogs? Hope you’re staying well!
Thanks so much!
As soon as you come up on my notifies, I click. The fact you're a Ghestie AND you're Ghost riffing is the icing on the cake. Well done, as always
Ghost has many of my favorite riffs! 🤘

Absolutely on point!
She always seems to be on the verge breaking out in laughter. It's awesome to see that kind of joy from someone.
You mean she doesn’t pole dance like Dominique?
Absolument ! 👍🏼🍒
Great video, so interesting seeing all these different songs and riffs that shaped your guitar journey and learning how they did so.
Thank you!
SWEET video! Excellent songs!
Love your vids❤
Thank you!
Some great riffs there Rachel and I love Nightwish as well such an amazing band to watch and listen too!
Nightwish is awesome!
@@RachelfGuitar I agree one of the most amazing bands out there in my opinion.

@@Rocktalk101 Woo! Definitely excited for that :)
Getting back on my guitar learning journey and this is definitely the video I needed to unlock some further progress! Thank you!
Glad to hear it! 😁🤘
1:57 I thought that’s how it was played too, until I played Rocksmith
Wow that guitar tuned to D standard sounds and looks fantastic! Great vid Rachel!
Thanks! Yeah I've been using it a bunch in D standard, feels like a good fit :)

Cool tone, Rachel ! Keep going ! Excellent video.
You have some _very_ nice guitars, cool playing.

Keep it up girl, you are rock'n it!!!!!
You are doing fine. It's fun. Writing is another animal.

Grieg on distorted electric! So awesome. How have I missed this for so long?? And I used to listen to Rainbow at times. Sean, you are clueless!!
Smiles to melt the heart,. And all in the name of rock
Lovely guitar!
Love it. ❤ keep up\m/
Your Kiepro guitar looks awesome. I like the way it matches your outfit and hair.
Gotta learn "Hall of the mountain king" now. You should check out the version done by the band Savatage.
I've said it before, and I'm saying it again......... you are indeed an inspiration m'lady. Be well in your world.
Classical music is just metal without electricity, so In the Hall of the Mountain King is a good choice! :)
Is there a link to the Hall of the Mountain King that Rachel mentions being a finger excersise they found on RUclips?
Absolutely love your channel. You have perfect fingers for playing. My fat mechanics fingers can’t play that smooth lol. Your a guitar goddess.
damn never was here so soon 14 seconds yooooo :) great video as always
also first lmao
That looks and sounds like a cool little amp. You made it sound sexy with those riffs. 🎸🎸🎸
1:50 Iommi not only plays it differently than you, but also bars all three string here. ;) You have a video on yt with him playing it. I bet he just probably got bored with playing same patter with time, so it may sound different than on recording.

Me too! 😁

In the Hall of the Mountain King goes hard
I just realised I've been watching your videos on and off since the Square Hammer one- and for some reason I'm not subbed anymore? Remedied 🤘
That's so cool to hear! Thanks :)
Crazy Train by Ozzy was my first riff
Hi Rachel
I've been following your channel for a long time. I see that you mostly use the same Ibanez guitar. Can you tell me how much you use your other guitars? I'm especially curious about your Ibanez S that wasn't seen lately on your channel? Do you find it uncomfortable in comparison to your other guitars?
All classic riffs! I was surprised you had Satan's Holiday in there! It is awesome :) I play that one in my surf band!
@Rachelf how did you get your fingers to stay close to the guitar strings?
That's something I've consciously worked on over time. Try playing a scale (or even just the chromatic scale) up and down the neck slowly and consciously try to keep all your fingers close to the fretboard and you play it. The pinky is usually the hardest!
Oh my god how you re good wonderful job congratulations im from Brazil 👏🏼👏🏼☺️always i watch your videos sorry my english kkkkk
Beautifull.⚘⚘⚘👍👍👍❤
I love how she has that permanent Kappa face
nice :) check out powerwolf and screaming at the silence :)
Reminds me of Janis Joplin 😂 keep up the great work young lady
Could you repeat a aria hero of speedway solo?
Wow i was wrong, when i saw Heart riff in the Title i was 110% sure it was going to be Barracuda lol, i was all ready to post how that riff helped my playing too when i first started, guess not lol.
Barracuda is another for me too! I just had to include this one since I learned it so early on!
@@RachelfGuitar ❤

Congratulations looks like You Tube finally figured out your not a kid 🤣 👍🤘
You're so down to earth and cute. Keep up the great videos

@RachelfGuitar Let me know when you try out a Washburn Guitar!
Why are you laughing?
Next up: 5 riffs that made me a better Otomatone player.

Plot twist: it's the same songs
