I tend to focus so much on just theory, I enjoy it but generally nobody wants to hear a talk on music theory, they want to hear you play music. This is great advice.
I'm practicing my D minor scale and wah pedal sound by looping the riff to Cream's "White Room". Not only is it such an amazing guitar solo, but the wah tone is out of this world. There is no better feeling while playing guitar than playing a song you love, and improvising the solo over the riff. Great video, you earned a new subscriber and reoccurring viewer.
I quit my lessons because I legitimately didn’t have time to practice everyday because of a demanding job, but man I miss going every Sunday at 2pm with my teacher. He’s a insanely good and I’m terrible lol
No shortage of how to play things on guitar on RUclips. Lots of great ones. I have to say this one is exceptional. Great instructional video. I will be using this diligently. I’m glad I came across your channel and subscribed.
You're a wonderfully engaging and effective teacher and pick the best music to highlight. Every video reveals a new path for me to explore. You're my absolute favorite guitar RUclipsr! Thanks!
Brilliant suggestions - thanks! The guitar break/solo on Bigmouth is a great one for picking accuracy and speed too. Ian Bairnson's solo on Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights is another good one to practice and improve upon bending and tremolo techniques.
Happy New Year to you, too, Adrian! Always love ALL your lessons and videos, and I really get so much from your "welcome to the new year" videos that always help me to reset, re-focus, and recharge as the year lies ahead of us. Thank you for all you do. So very much appreciated!
I absolutely agree that the satisfaction of learning a significant part of a classic track spurs learners on, that’s pretty much how I learnt. I was always curious at the same time about why parts work and that combination is what kept me going.
Excellent suggestions. And timely as I am going back to the drawing board after 40 years of playing. Due to a health issue a few years back my rhythm ain't so hot (ahem) so I will definitely be doing Riffs 2 & 3 daily for a few months. And Riff 10 for the hell of it. Happy New Year.
Just stating the obvious, you are awesome, I love your work, commenting to help your channel. Thank you for sharing your art,it’s a challenge, I love it!
The first suggestion brings in my mind Dun Ringill, Jethro Tull. Even though it seems like arpeggios it's alternate picking and it's the best picking exercise I found.
Some great examples there - but I think Johnny Marr is the number one - an all round widely influenced artist that could easily play at of those styles you’ve covered and elements incorporated in his songs over the years if you listen
Thanks as always for the great vids, Adrian and all the best of 2024 to thee and thine. For the acoustic demos it looks like you are playing a Martin 000-15. I recently accquired one myself. Lovely old guitar!
Thank you so much, Adrian for a wonderful selection of riffs to play in 2024. I've been watching your guitar lessons for a few years and particularly like your McGeoch work. He was the first pro guitarist that I saw live with the Banshees in 1981 on the Juju tour and am full of respect and appreciation for the quality lessons that you've done on his fantastic guitar parts. I love Johnny Marr, Nile Rodgers and the Only Ones too and have really enjoyed learning some of their parts from your lessons. Could you do some early Peter Buck (REM) guitar parts? Many thanks. 🙂
When I was 16, I spent a summer learning to play a lot of Sex Pistols songs from "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle." I attribute learning these songs to being able to switch chords and strengthening my rhythm playing.
My favorite artist of all time now is Takeshi Terauchi. It made me think of the other day I was trying to pick fast like that. Your taste is great. Yer gud bruh. The Banshees rock. Arabian nights is my favorite one. Corey Duffel skates to that song.
Adrian, your mastery of the instrument is truly exceptional man, akin to opening a portal to another dimension. Your playing transcends the ordinary, transporting listeners to a realm of profound beauty and emotion. What band are you in and are you on tour?
I tend to focus so much on just theory, I enjoy it but generally nobody wants to hear a talk on music theory, they want to hear you play music. This is great advice.
i think the golden rule for theory could be “show dont tell” haha
Doing a Django lesson is a brilliant idea Adrian! Please do!
Yes, please!
His version of "I'll See You In My Dreams" is one of the best guitar records of all time. A lesson including that would be incredible.
Keep it simple - blue drag.
Oof yes please!
Not only I'd like a full lesson about James Burton, but it would be great having some videos focusing on country rock songs.
Some Gram Parsons would be epic
Incredible list of cool genre-diverse riffs. Love this!

Absolutely impeccable taste as always.And showing just how versatile a tele can be!!!
As an adult student with limited time, you're opening comments really nailed exactly what I've been trying to tell my teacher
Wow woe.
Hi Adrian, thanks for coming back to grace our screens again in 2024. I love your lessons and approach.
No shortage of how to play things on guitar on RUclips. Lots of great ones. I have to say this one is exceptional. Great instructional video. I will be using this diligently. I’m glad I came across your channel and subscribed.
Now I really want a Tele with a roasted maple neck. Also, I'm reminded of how much I love the Smiths. Fantastic practice selections. Thank you!
You're a wonderfully engaging and effective teacher and pick the best music to highlight. Every video reveals a new path for me to explore. You're my absolute favorite guitar RUclipsr! Thanks!
best guitar channel on the youtubes
Stellar selection of riffs. Covers a lot of ground AND in great taste 🤌
Brilliant lesson thanks very much. Nice selection of tunes
Your original Spellbound video really helped my picking accuracy more than any other exercise I did previously.
Fantastic choice to start with.
Excellent advice...I'm limited on practice time myself! Glad to subscribe!
After 2 weeks away at Christmas without guitars, this is just what I need to kick start the year! Thanks and Happy 2024!
Brilliant suggestions - thanks! The guitar break/solo on Bigmouth is a great one for picking accuracy and speed too. Ian Bairnson's solo on Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights is another good one to practice and improve upon bending and tremolo techniques.
Loved this lesson, thanks! More like this please 🙏
not only are you the most fantastic guitar teacher Ive ever encountered, but you also always choose the best songs! I have a new playlist hahah
Happy New Year to you, too, Adrian! Always love ALL your lessons and videos, and I really get so much from your "welcome to the new year" videos that always help me to reset, re-focus, and recharge as the year lies ahead of us. Thank you for all you do. So very much appreciated!
Really great selection. Respect.
Jolly good...same to you.... cheers from Canada.
Great show 😊
Anything by Mountain is my go-to for riff practice.
Nantucket Sleighride, which was used for Weekend World (ITV 1980s)
Man !!! Just a few weeks ago remember some Rappid Licks of yours. Keep on Grindin´ and happy 2024!!!!
Great song choices. I love “Girl From the North Country”!

As ever, thanks for everything Adrian. Nice Daniel Johnston t shirt - Chrimbo pressie?
Happy New Year! You're spoiling us, as usual. If you're feeling up for it, another Dick Dale lesson would be awesome!
Always both informative and brings a smile with your music choices. Thanks.🎸
All the best for the New year Adrian. You have inspired over the years 🙏🏻 God Bless you 🙏🏻
Love that telecaster with those outstanding eyes...
I love that you chose the first solo in "Comfortably numb". I like it more than the second, which is the one everybody seems to prefer
Happy New Year, great to see you again
Just stating the obvious, you are awesome, I love your work, commenting to help your channel. Thank you for sharing your art,it’s a challenge, I love it!
So glad I found your channel
Great advice about practicing with musicality in mind.
Happy New Year Adrian!
Thanks for the help getting us out of ruts...lm sure we all go through em!
I was learning Bigmouth last year. Marrs parts are always great
All terrific and iconic riffs!
Best guitar teacher on youtube, thank you.
Thank you, Adrian and a very Happy 2024 to you !
Great choice of songs Adrian.
Very good choices for this lesson, I will enjoy this. Thanks
Thanks for posting this. Some brilliant stuff on it for me to go over❤
Happy New Year to you too, Adrian!
And thank you for the great lessons, highly appreciated here
Welcome back. Happy new year.
Happy New Year !
You're still one of the best teachers on the web ! 😌🙏✊
happy and successful new year! \o/
The first suggestion brings in my mind Dun Ringill, Jethro Tull. Even though it seems like arpeggios it's alternate picking and it's the best picking exercise I found.
Fantastic! You have impeccable taste.
When I heard McGeogh, I was hoping for “Into the Light”, but excellent choice nonetheless
Love this! I love taking the journey with you. Keep up the great work.
Happy New Year!!!!
Happy new year ❤.
I'm going to propose Johnny Marr's parts from Nothing But Flowers (Talking Heads). Happy new year Andrew.
great video with some nice direction. Thank you!
Love the shirt DJ 4ever.
Holy crap, your videos are Excellent!!
Thanks for making them!
I'm gonna go check out zodiac toys now!
You are a gem. Happy New Year!
nice thank you
Happy new year. Hope it’s been a good one so far.
Thanks for another great lesson. These videos are very helpful.
Spellbound took me back a good 40 years in my mind.
Awesome licks Mate.
Happy New Year Adrian, best wishes to you. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much. I agree with the logic of this practice advice.
Some great examples there - but I think Johnny Marr is the number one - an all round widely influenced artist that could easily play at of those styles you’ve covered and elements incorporated in his songs over the years if you listen
In my humble opinion of course, I'm always listening broadly for influences for new ideas for music.. but these lessons are good - happy practicing
Aside from the carefully and wisely chosen content, I just could listen to you talking for hours...
Happy new year Adrian and thanks for all your great videos!
Happy New Year Adrian. A great demonstration of what a tele can do.
oh, total f heaven! thank you kind man!!
Great vid ! Thank you so much! Happy new year
Great idea! If I can play Bigmouth by the end of the year I'll be happy
Excellent instructional video
Happy new year Adrian. Health and happiness to you and yours.
Thanks as always for the great vids, Adrian and all the best of 2024 to thee and thine. For the acoustic demos it looks like you are playing a Martin 000-15. I recently accquired one myself. Lovely old guitar!
Happy New Year !!! 🎸🎸🎸
That was cool, glad I found your channel
Ramones is definitely the best starting point for any beginner!
Yay me first!
Great idea for a video
Love your tutorials
Got so many great songs under my belt from you
Cheers Malcolm!
The tab for spellbound, McGeoch, is not easy to find on a search. However,
Siouxsie and the Banshees cover spellbound and the tab is available.
Nice list. Would indeed enjoy a lesson on Swing-42 in Django's inimitable style. Enjoy his economy of motion in creating such expressive lines.
Thank you so much, Adrian for a wonderful selection of riffs to play in 2024. I've been watching your guitar lessons for a few years and particularly like your McGeoch work.

Kudos for the shirt!
I love how the Daniel Johnston shirt makes your guitar have eyes lol
Very cool. Comfortably Numb was great!
Bonne année Adrian!
Dude, you got Johnny Ramone down. That was some class playing.
When I was 16, I spent a summer learning to play a lot of Sex Pistols songs from "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle." I attribute learning these songs to being able to switch chords and strengthening my rhythm playing.
Great video!
Darn, those are the 10 riffs I can't play.
Happy new year❤2024
Great vid, thank you!!
Thanks

Adrian, happy new year! Love your vids, even though I can't play a note and don't own a guitar!!
