Metallica to live is to die clean part is the most beautiful thing ever
I know, that's why I have "Top 10 Metallica Clean Riffs" and "All Metallica Clean Riffs" videos.
@@VERMILIONGOD For the cleans I'd have included Call of Chutlu
Are you talking about the intro/outro or the break?
@@jto541 The riff is repeated several times, but they add up distortion and solos on top.. but i'm talking about the intro as the outro is with distortion :)
Fight fire with fire intro is also heavenly.
Cemetery gates is so beautiful
Thats why pantera is my favorite band
Frusciante king of riffs clean!
Under the bridge
Snow
Scar tissue
I could have lied
The zephyr song
Soul to squeeze
Californication
Otherside
By the way....
DITTOED !
I could have lied is Acoustic along with hella songs he played but they song good on both
By the way has overdrive bruh
@@gorjesito but an introduction doesn't have!

Wet sand?
Buried alive intro gives me chills every time. It's so perfect
I love it too, bro and I hope you enjoyed my performance
@@VERMILIONGOD i definetly did!
@@stonehillproductions129 Thank you!
I actually think it’s just par to the rest of the list imo
He’ll yeah. Buried Alive Intro is my favorite clean riff.
I love it too. Hail to Syn!
Wasn't expecting Buried Alive. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
Daniel Abreu cheeky Star Wars reference there mate
Just found that song, I’m exploring A7X finally. I think it might be overall one of my favorite songs ever. Just awesome from the intro to the end.
Doo Doo Fiend I’m a huge A7x fan (my wardrobe is mostly avenged shirts) and I’m glad to hear you’re looking into them. Nightmare is a great album to start on along with Hail to the King as it’s more of a hard rock/ classic metal style album. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)

Can we all collectively agree that the majority of these rifts display a wide array of talent but buried alive is just pure raw perfection
thank you.
It's on nightmare not hail to the king...
YoStefan what? I thought buried alive was on their nightmare album not on httk?
@YoStefan they are right, Buried Alive is on Nightmare... all HTTK songs are homage to the greats (especially Metallica) to a certain extent but Buried Alive is their own masterpiece... it does resemble Metallica a bit but imo it's one of their songs that surpasses a lot of Metallica's stuff
Buried alive is said by M. To be their best song and for good reason. It's perfect. Its powerful. The playing and writing is flawless. And you cant help but be sucked in by that intro
For don’t fear the reaper all I could think of was will Farrell Playing the cowbell
I am going to learn every single one of these by the end of August.
By june imma be playin that 😂
Good luck
@@ryan0150 lol Flight team stand up
Ryan Shumaker This isn't a competition lmao
Do it, upload a video, and I'll give you a free custom guitar. No bullshit. (my choice of what I make lol)
Since you played the Ministry of Lost Souls I would love to see a top Dream Theater riffs or something like that. Great video dude. Keep it up!
I might make Top 50 Dream Theater riffs but I'm afraid of copyright claims. I used to do videos with DT but they was blocked. Anyway, I love Dream Theater!
@@VERMILIONGOD As a DT fan,that would be an awesome video, but yeah youtube is trash sometimes :/
Anyways thanks for answer
Or what about a top 10 Foo Fighters riffs vid
@@loz2590 Really good band as well! There's some nice riffs in there
Oh wait, there is already one 😂
That's some *clean* quality mate
I hope you enjoyed it, pal!
your profile picture fits your name sooo well
Here are a couple of suggestions for tye top 100 clean riffs
Pearl Jam: Yellow Ledbetter
Foo Fighters: Everlong
Everlong is very distorted.
@@birdsaresinners3373 I meant Dave's part, not Chris's
@@theorionprogram3323 oh yeah, alright man
Don't talk to strangers - DIO, to continue this top 100
5:52 This made me very happy to see because i haven't listened to that intro in a while. I was once addicted to this song, especially the intro, and to see it come back in favor of great clean riffs was just a major agreement and happiness to see.
Same. Avenged Sevenfold are beyond amazing.
A7X Forever Baby!
Don't Fear The Reaper... there's nothing better to play.
Needs more cowbell
@@gwaptiva just a tad more
@@gwaptiva it's like i have a fever, and the only cure, is more cowbell
ruclips.net/video/_aGFWXHwhII/видео.html
Unfortunately sans cowbell, but cool version.
Beatles: I Want You (She's so Heavy)
Alice in Chains: Heaven Beside You
Def Leppard: Foolin'
Soundgarden: Black Hole Sun
Audioslave: Like a Stone
I will make "Top 100 Clean Riffs" next time. Share me your list, bro.
I Want You is the original heavy doom metal song
FOOLIN FOR LIFE
@@VERMILIONGOD добавь ещё fear of the dark и sultans of swing
@@ИльяЗубков-ф8ж Money For Nothing - абсолютный хит Dire Straits не забыть
so... you got your name from a slipknot song? pretty dope
it explaines everything
But.. Do you know how the Slipknot song got it's name? :)
@@befrnigel I know you didn't ask me, but i got curious and i don't know so can you tell me?
@@MrPecz-eg8qs Sure. :)
Corey the singer said "When i first heard it i couldn't think about anything but Red" (And Vermilion is indeed a shade of red)
But people linked the name of the song to Corey's ex wife who's named "Scarlett" and once again it's a shade of red close to the vermilion and since the song is about a stalker who can't get a girl/the girl doesn't want him anymore, it could be possible. :)
Now you know. ;)
@@befrnigel Pretty interesting, thanks for answering :)
A Tout Le Monde - Megadeth
Good morning Black Friday
Foreclosure of a dream
@@badjuju6430 That my favorite out of Megadeth's clean riffs
Maggieman-boss. Huzzah a man of quality.
Rust in peace... polaris, main riff its a beauty
Clean riffs always seem so much more melodic and sad other than maybe Skynyrd
That's the hole point :D
You haven't heard simple man then. Most depressing riff of all time.
If you haven’t cried while listening to free bird you ain’t COUNTRY BOI
Mark tremonti is an expert in clean riff! My own prison is also nice and in loving memory from alter bridge!
Audioslave - Like A Stone
Korn - Hushabye
Slipknot - Circle
Alice In Chains - Down In A Hole
Nirvana - All Apologies
Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter
Stone Temple Pilots - No Memory
Mad Season - River Of Deceit
Mother Love Bone - Stargazer
Black Sabbath - She's Gone
Pantera - Suicide Note (Part 1)
Pink Floyd - Grantchester Meadows
Syd Barrett - Baby Lemonade
Elliott Smith - Let's Get Lost
The Beatles - Norwegian Wood
The Doors - Love Me Two Times
The Velvet Underground - Here She Comes Now
Prince - Purple Rain
Kiss - Forever
Beautiful list
Dream of me an Julie Ann, oh Xana come back again
Paul McCartney buried alive
Fell on black days is distorted bro
@@ComaAlpha R.I.P. Andy Wood
Death - 'Voice of the soul' Deserves to be on this list
That Stairway was so clean, i thought id slip on my way up
Loved hearing Aerials by System of a Down. The atmosphere of that riff is so moody, dark and foreboding. Great choices man.
More than feeling - Boston
I'm so fucking happy you stuck Street Spirit in here. Good man
So many people are requesting for Blackbird and more Tremonti riffs in general and it’s making me so happy
Under the Bridge: You don’t need to bar the second fret. Just hit second fret G
Thanks!
Shred collab 2019?
With a great pleasure
Heart shaped box has a great timing
Thanks!
I love the way the video is filmed with the guitar lit up and the top all blacked out 👍🏼
Looks very effective.
I was hoping to hear One Last Breath by Creed and when it came up I was so glad! Great video!
I think there's something in my eyes... 😭 The closing arpeggio was just the icing on the cake!! Thank you, this literally made my day 🙏🙏
I like how you included blink but maybe the Stay Together for the Kids riff would have been a better choice. Nice job.
respect for including Street spirit, underrated masterpiece.
Is it bad that when I hear black bird by the Beatles I immediately thought of of Kmac
Nope, not at all
Yes. It is
When u love the beatles but also love death metal :)
Amen
One last breath intro is a masterpiece. Tremonti will go down as an all time great.
I'd add Periphery's Priestess. One of the coolest acoustic lines ive ever heard
Agreed! That's awesome and I'll take of this for my future videos. I'm going to make about 100 clean riffs in the nearest future so you could type me your own favorite riffs, bro.

Has anybody ever tried question everything by FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH ? Yes i know many hate them...
But did u listen to that MASTERPIECE clean guitar part in the middle ? That's art.
Honestly, I'm glad you brought it up. I listen to so much FFDP that it's hard to remember stuff. But that song will always be remembered.
Love how each riff plays into the next
I would add "Blackbird" by Alter Bridge in there too.
John’s riff in Under The Bridge is by far my fav
0:30 MORE COWBELL!!!!
Definitely!
am i the only one whos here because the string on my electric broke and all guitar stores are closed and all i have is my acoustic and idk what else to learn
I told myself. Creed wouldn’t be on here. And it was and it made me so happy tbh
They're douchey, but their guitarist has a tight sound
My goodness man you’ve got some skill to pull these riffs off so clean and precise. Hats off to you!
Thanks a ton buddy! It means a lot!
It would of been nice to hear Call of Ktulu from Metallica but very nice job my man. I might put this on my sleeping playlist
You should watch my "Top 20 Clean Riffs", bro. I really glad you like it!
Oh. 😂
If u can do a top 50 DragonForce riff vid, I will be beyond impressed. Or a top 100.
@@loz2590 Aww, I'll think it over and I also going to make "Top 100 Clean Riffs" in the future. Any suggestions for it?
Born in Winter by Gojira and I am a Highway by Audioslave
This is probably the most perfect and widest selection of beautiful riffs ever made
Right in Two
Tool
Or Tool Riffs \m/
they'r not completely clean. but i also love hem
Loved to see Street Spirit and Buried Alive in the list 👏
That was awesome, but can’t believe the clean bit of Seasons in the Abyss wasn’t in there!
Thank you buddy! There's always missing something, sorry.
Loving the lighting in your videos
Awww, thank you! Appreciate that.
@@VERMILIONGOD You're welcome, it's a nice change from all the full body shots you see, and easy on the eyes
@@ollyholmes1835 Really glad you like it
That's definitely the most decent list on RUclips. Great Job!
Wow you know Snow Patrol? Here's my like
I love Snow Patrol
GNVS doesn’t everyone know them?
matthew ryder didn’t think they were that known outside the UK besides that one song
@@GNVS300 I also love Chasing Cars and a lot of other Snow Patrol' songs.
Sweet
I love is there anybody out there such a great song, just wish it was longer
Guitar Center: *watches the video* Also Guitar Center: *skips **3:55**-**4:18*
We can't blame them
Great video. As you mentioned this is your own personal choice but for me without Mark Knofler and Jhon Mayer clean riffs list is incomplete. Keep the good work.
Mr. big - just take my heart
Weezer - say it aint so
Clapton - tears in heaven
Black crowes - thorn in my pride
Finally say it ain't so. That riff is so relaxing and just has a vibe to it.
I never pictured vermillion doing clean riffs, only the heavy metal chugging stuff so this is nice to see.
Every Mark Tremonti riff.
totally agree
I don't know what's weirder, the fact that Michael Jackson has a song with a guitar riff that sounds like it wouldn't be out of place on an 80's era Metallica song, or that he chose to call it "Give In to Me." Yeesh...
Hope Leaves by Opeth would be a great option if a second part comes out
I mean, anything by Opeth would fit perfectly!
Awesome stuff. Blackbird gets me all the time. Classic.
4:36 heart shaped box sounds really good on this guitar
Nothing sounds as good and beautiful as an electric guitar played by a real guitar player.
Excellent video 👍👏👌
Aww, thanks a lot for that my friend! That's very kind of you and I'm very pleased.
Love that you used "Is There Anybody Out There?"! The best piece of music from The Wall.
Pearl Jam- Yellow Leadbetter
Metallica - The Day That Never Comes
KSE - My Curse
I got you my friend! Going to make 100 clean guitar riffs next time and you could share me more of your own favorite clean riffs.
@@VERMILIONGOD Awesome!!! If I think of any I'll for sure
@@mikehawkisb1g Ok, I'll be waiting for you here
@@VERMILIONGOD call of ktulu, maybe my friend of misery intro? I knw its bass, but its clean and amazing. Also, I am a huge fan of metallica
The day that never comes is my favourite song of Metallica 😍
Buried Alive will always be my favorite
I just found that song last week (exploring A7X), love it
That's right boi
@@thevtec5171 I hope you like it, dude
I think Dire Straits deserve a spot :)
That's fair enough. I will make "top 100 clean riffs" next time. Type me your own favorite clean guitar riffs please. I'm very curious.
@@VERMILIONGOD a few of my favourites:
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
Get Lucky - Daft Punk
Angie - The Rolling Stones
Closer to the Heart - Rush
Kurenai - X JAPAN
@@H1SHU Thank you, buddy! I'll take note of this.
@@VERMILIONGOD I don't know how far you are but there are also some german songs worth listing, like
Alles aus Liebe and Tage wie Diese
Wow! Good selection! That Queen song at the end just killed it! I loved that!
I missed "the kill" by 30 seconds to mars tho, but, anyway, here's your "thumbs up"
Thank so much my dear! I really love Queen stuff and Brian May style. Btw, I will make about 100 clean riffs next and you can share me your favorite riffs
How long have you been playing guitar?
Why do you care?
Why do you care that he cares? He can ask whatever he wants.
@@sundigest1121 because hes very talented and i want to know how long it took?
@@Killswitch_550 it's not about time, some people practice for years touching the guitar 15 minutes a week and don't get to any level of playing, if you want to play like him, you have to practice a lot and daily, you'd be there in no time, but I'm not a pro, don't take me word for word obviously.
@@pablorandri6459 yup! Im a guitar player myself and i can play a few songs but when i watch this guy i think its just crazy how he knows so many songs and plays them perfectly but its all about dedication and practice
Your tone on When September Ends is just beautiful.
Impressive, but can you do a “Top 30 reverse riffs” vid?
I think the main riffs from Under the Bridge and Fade to Black are the highlights over the intro riffs. The KISS - Rock Bottom intro is one of the all time best too.
Good job :)
I suggest you listen to some songs from Alter Bridge/ Tremonti: blackbird, in loving memory, broken wings, unable to see, as the silence becomes me. You will find interesting tunings there. Maybe you like them and you can play them in a next video.
Thanks, dude! I will check it and take note of this.
I really dig your tone, man!
Thank you! That Joyo Zombie clean channel is awesome.
Great video as always! I always enjoy watching/listening to you play.
Thank you so much, dude. I'm very pleased
o h y e a h h h
VERMILION you are very welcome!
@@doomie8777 That's very kind of you
Dude this makes me really want to go play guitar right now, thank you for the inspiration. That clean tone is like, sonic equivalent to getting a hug from a dog, just beautiful.
Cemetery Gates
Kryptonite
Fade To Black
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Stairway to Heaven
Heart Shaped Box
Dust in The Wind
Sweet Home Alabama
Still Loving You
Aerials
Every Breath you Take
Dream On
Are My favorite ones
Give in to me Sounds like Endless Sacrifice by Dream Theater
Glad to see buried alive in here. Not only is it their best song, but one of the best songs period. It’s like their stairway to heaven.
I was going to comment “Under The Bridge needs to be here” but I didn’t have enough time to comment because it was the first riff.
Great video! For a future list, I’d suggest Slow Cheetah by rhcp :)
Time by Creed is really good too.
I was just about to write that there should be some Creed riffs here and then I heard One Last Breath. Btw, Tremonti writes so good clean intros. Although, My Own Prison is the best one probably. That riff is just instant classic
Great content man!
Glad you appreciate it! Thanks!
Awesome video, I can not only instantly know the song, but also, see the level of practice that went into this as well as the talent to pull it off
0:31 so I've been playing that song wrong the whole time.
NIce... I see a lot of people add their own opinion regarding their fav clean riffs, so this video is a treasure-full chest of information. Making a complete list may be a little unattainable task, still, these are some the finest clean riffs put together, and thanks a lot for this effort. I would like to add one of my fav clean riffs which is sort of a bit rare tune: Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits.
Stairway denied!
Really loved See You On The Other Side at 7:35 nice job it's a real good song to.
dude you got me with Dream Theater, Ministry Of Lost Souls is one of my favorite clean solos to play
Love the list but I personally believe that "Black Bird" from Alterbridge should have been in this video.
Still a good list though.
Well atleast we got one great Tremonti riff in One Last Breath
I'm going to make "top 100 clean riffs" in the future and you could share me you list my friend.
@@VERMILIONGOD that would be awesome!
@@colzimo yeah true
@@theoddtimeman2975 I hope so
Probably you can add
1) All new material- Periphery
2) My curse - Killswitch Engage
3) Nutshell - Alice in Chains
4) Priestess - Periphery
Megadeth angry again . Troy Frost 😎Cool
Ok, I got you Troy Frost
Still Loving you always give me goosebumps, i think it's one of the Best of this list
Eargasm :D
Yes same here
Great list. Would have loved to see Over the Hills and Far away by Zeppelin. Dreamer Deceiver by Judas Priest and also More Than a Feeling by Boston coulda made it too.
I'm going to make 100 clean riffs in the nearest future so you should type me your suggestions. I'll take this into account.
Over The Hills And Far Away is known also by Nightwish
@@IvanChernenko Actually Nightwish made a cover but original "Over The Hills And Far Away" song is by Mr. Gary Moore. R.I.P. Gary
The tone is perfect. Music Man really makes a fantastic guitar
Weezer - “say it ain’t so” is a pretty good one
