WTF is this shit? Les Paul didn't play any of these riffs? Do you even know who Les Paul was? He had his own primetime television show in the 50s where he played all his western classics. This list makes no sense.
@joer5000 I'm 58 and a lover of Les Pauls and Marshall's. Been playing since late 70's. Jack is not only NOT an inexperienced musician but a very talented musician who could and does play every era of classic to hard rock to metal from 60's onward. Let's see your spin on these same songs. Post a link up so we can all judge you. And I'm sure you would receive criticism. And so it's noted, I would have liked to see Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion or Walk this way. Two very iconic Les Paul riffs.
A hard list to compile, but few of these riffs would exist if not for Clapton showcasing his '59 Les Paul's tone with the Bluesbreakers. Hideaway, All Your Love...riffs galore and history making tone.
As usual great playing and tones. Great to watch, very talented. I think you covered all the riffs. One I would put in is the great Mick Ronson and Ziggy Stardust
Dickey Betts, Duane Allman, Gary Rossington. Southern Fried Rock guitarists are too often overlooked . But they were some of the greatest players out there .
Never heard of them. Happy to hit a search. But if they are in bands, I’m going to get the shits. Ie. I got no idea who the ZZ tops guys are but I know ZZ tops are tops. Know what I’m saying. So let’s help the people get to the good stuff. Deciphering shit ain’t nothing like it used to be. So give up the info or keep it for yourself. Name, and song so we can engage like a list would expect.
Most Led Zep riffs are the ducks nuts! "Over The Hills And Far Away" is my fave. When Bonham kicks in it goes off-chops. Far too much guitar is grossly inadequate, woefully insufficient & nowhere near enough! Rock 'til ya drop. Didyabringyabongalong Station, Central Queensland, Australia.
@@mooseknuckle8946 All accounts say that it was recorded on Les Paul. If it were a Tele, it doesn't sound like one. My humbucker Teles don't sound anything like my Les Pauls.
I just came across these videos and I love them. I can’t get no satisfaction has to bump something else out of the top 10 in my opinion, but I am good with everything else. Great work. Tons of fun. 👍🏾
I saw a video a while back explaining how Jimmy Page droned the open "D" string against the fretted and slightly bent D note for Whole Lotta Love, creating a bit of dissonant tension. Listen carefully to the very first notes on the recording. Also, it takes much discipline to pick just 10 Les Paul riffs. Well done!
Perhaps because that riff may have been played on a telecaster one can't be sure when it comes to anything on Zep 2 even Zep 3, some is still telecaster
@@joshmuz9018 pretty sure page has said it’s a les Paul, he had just gotten his number 1 from joe Walsh at that point but I kinda sounds like his black custom to my ear. Mid 69 and forward it was mainly les Paul and the tele was used for overdubs but Led Zeppelin II is mostly les Paul
I love playing Design For Life, it can be tricky to nail, but there's always that nervous moment on stage the first time round the chords where I'm wondering whether it's going to be a good version or whether I'm going to butcher it!
I see where youre going with this, great riffs on the first album, but the whole second album (except for the electric 12 on Thank You and Living Loving) is the Les Paul... Iconic Les Paul tone, Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Moby, Bring it on Home, etc., etc, etc..... that aint no Tele!... oh and the Vox used for Lemon Song and Whole Lotta Love wasnt a Super Beatle it was a 7120....
If you put 00:00 at the beginning of the chapter list, it will give the video official chapters! I always put 00:00 Intro and then add the other chapter markers. Great video!
I was thinking for a second "one band with lots of iconic riffing was missing" but hold on - their lead guitarist played an SG ;) So hey - this was an awesome collection of wonderful riffs and historical Rock memories. And once again I'm utterly amazed by Jack's knowledge of Rock'n'Roll and absolutely stunning playing skills !! 🤟 Hats off for that and thanks for the amazing content on your channel !!!
@@wxrey Hallo Wolfgang - die waren natürlich beide genial. Brian May hat seine Gitarre ursprünglich sogar selbst gebaut. Später hat er sie nachbauen lassen - wenn ich richtig informiert bin. Aber Du hast es bestimmt schon richtig vermutet ;-)) ich hatte bei dem Gedanken schon Angus Young ACDC auf dem Schirm. "High Voltage" war für mich die zweite Platte meines Lebens nur ganz knapp geschlagen von "Made in Japan" von Deep Purple. Beide habe ich so lange rauf und runter gehört, da musste ich selbst einfach auch Gitarrist werden :)
I couldn’t agree more with your choice for #1. Whole Lotta Love is my favourite song of all time for having: A. the greatest guitar riff ever B. the greatest guitar solo ever C. the greatest drum fills ever.
Personally, as a riff, Rebel Rebel by David Bowie is my favourite out of those you mentioned. Mick Ronson was an astounding guitar player who always managed to get a great tone. I love how he created that " honking " tone ( as he calls it ) by using a Cry Baby Wah pedal and leaving it on a setting and cracking a small amp up to full volume.Jean Genie was another example of a simple riff played with bags of attitude. Thanks for these great video's Jack. They're really enjoyable brother.
What a mouth watering line of Gibson's... wow. Great playing and great tones - only gripe is you didn't play the songs long enough! Lol.. I'd watch that all day. 👌
I have a mostly'59 Burst. The body and neck and some plastic are from a 2001 R59. The rest, including the Brazillian fingerboard, inlays and frets, nut, all electronics, hardware, and tuners are from real '59 and '60 LPs. I've always played pretty much what you did on this vid on it, but one day I was doing an online session and they wanted a clean sound for a track. The Burst was nearest to hand and I plugged it in. Wouldn't you know, it, it has a wonderful clean sound in all positions. I was so pleasantly surprised and now I go to it for that sound as much as for the other. One great LP bit is the opening and rhythm guitar on "Daydream" by The Lovin Spoonful. That sound is inimitable. Keef's "Satisfaction" riff was indeed a place saver for a horn part or parts, was done with a Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-tone, and played very straight with no vibrato or harmony. He says he was horrified when he heard it on the radio for the first time and they hadn't added the horns but left the "crappy" fuzz guitar.
Awesome!! Some great riffs, beautifully played as always, I mean what better way to enjoy my coffee break. Loved the recent Strat riffs too, so I cant wait for the (hopefully) forthcoming Greatest Telecaster riffs of all time feature ;-)
I didn’t expect Peter Green, but thanks for giving him the appreciation he deserves. The best les Paul players have to be Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Gary Moore, and Jeff Beck.
Alight now does have 2 guitars in it, still a clever rhythm . I used to play it exactly the way you do. Played crazy train in a 2 guitar band, played the chord pattern an octave higher above the 12th fret along with the original chording my friend played, we doubled the fills and climbs too . Sounded really good together. Great analyzations and playing . Satisfaction uses octaves c to b . Great videos for older guys and younger players..
Nicely done !! dang, the Still Got The Blues bit was pretty amazing. That amp LOVED that guitar. Almost thought you hit a wah, the feedback jumped so quick.
If you want iconic Les Paul riffs and sound you have to go back to 1966 when Eric Clapton played his Les Paul through a overdriven Marshall on The Beano album and changed the world. Every track on that should have made this list!!!
Awesome review! A top 20 surely would have included: Tom Scholz Neil Schon Dave Meniketti John Sykes Steve Clark Ace Frehley Joe Perry Marc Bolan Mick Ronson
He used a Tele for the first album but switched to the '59 Les Paul he bought from Joe Walsh for the rest of his career. He did use the Tele for the solo on Stairway to Heaven.
Jimmy said he used a Les Paul to record Whole Lotta Love, I think it was a heavily modified one as well but he said he loved how that exact guitar had amazing sustain (like all Les Pauls do but this one had even more)
Granted that this was an impossible task I'm still a little bummed to not see Eric Clapton in some capacity either with Cream or the Bluesbreakers stuff.
Clapton sold more original Les Pauls in the 60’s Than any other ( it made Gibson start making them again) Then people came in the shop and wanted to sound like Kossof and Page in the 70’s. In the 80’s they wanted to sound like kiss and Aerosmith, gnr int the 90’s and Darkness in the 2000’s
@@darrenc8776 agreed. And it should be noted Eric's close friendship with George Harrison profoundly influenced the way The Beatles played guitar in the final 18 months of their career together. Most notably heard on Abbey Road - in the form of Lucy, George's '57 Les Paul.
Great list, glad Paul Kossoff and Peter Green got mentions. And great playing, nailed those riffs perfectly. I'll also add I think Kossoff's playing on The Hunter is probably his best and a cracking riff, shame it's a cover. And Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well is a properly good riff.

What is the name of the song for the riff in the intro? Thanks
This guitar belongs to Page and Slash
I am glad that Free's Paul Kossoff and Thin Lizzy were included. Definitely mandatory 70's rock bands.
Agreed and yet All Right Now is nothing like a typical Free song
@@geoffmcmahon4453 Mr Big might be my favorite Kossoff riff along with Fraser’s bass playing complimenting it.
@@jr13227 Oh yeah especially the Free Live version
I was brought up to beleive that with a Les Paul and a Marshall you could rule the world. Here is the proof. Great work indeed Jack.
and a cry baby Wah.
Nothing an HSS or HSH superstrat can't handle.
But there's something beautiful about the neck pickup tones on Les Pauls.
Half the top 10 list wasn’t worthy, being a young inexperienced musician, you weren’t around during the 60-70’s where the greatest bands existed!

That Gary Moore lick...superbly played, Jack! One of my favorite licks and guitarists of all time.
Those guitars were fantastic!! Bravo on a great video!!
Finally! Someone who understands that You don't need dist pedals to make a Les Paul sing. Thank You!
A hard list to compile, but few of these riffs would exist if not for Clapton showcasing his '59 Les Paul's tone with the Bluesbreakers. Hideaway, All Your Love...riffs galore and history making tone.
Satisfaction, that was one of the first riffs my dad showed me when I first started playing.
Peter Frampton's "Do you feel like we do " could have made into the list. Still, a good list of Les Paul riffs, and great playing. Cheers!
As usual great playing and tones. Great to watch, very talented. I think you covered all the riffs. One I would put in is the great Mick Ronson and Ziggy Stardust
This list could have been nothing but Led Zeppelin and it would have been accurate. Great playing!
Amen
Totally.
Except Peter Green also
Truth
Maybe so but all of the stuff on Led Zeppelin I and about half of II were played on a 59 Telecaster.
I love it!! Paradise city, Brothers in arms......just play them all, man. I'll watch it even if it's 2 hours long.
Dickey Betts, Duane Allman, Gary Rossington. Southern Fried Rock guitarists are too often overlooked . But they were some of the greatest players out there .
Gary Rossington makes the Les Paul scream in a way I’ve never heard before. Easily one of my favorite guitarists along with Allen Collins
Yeah i missed Dickey Betts and Duane Allman too.
Amen
Yes yes yes!!!!!
Never heard of them. Happy to hit a search. But if they are in bands, I’m going to get the shits. Ie. I got no idea who the ZZ tops guys are but I know ZZ tops are tops. Know what I’m saying.

"Black Dog" is my favorite Zeppelin guitar riff.
Kashmir does it for me…
Most Led Zep riffs are the ducks nuts! "Over The Hills And Far Away" is my fave. When Bonham kicks in it goes off-chops. Far too much guitar is grossly inadequate, woefully insufficient & nowhere near enough! Rock 'til ya drop.

I thought Black Dog was played on a telecaster. I could be wrong
@@mooseknuckle8946
All accounts say that it was recorded on Les Paul.
If it were a Tele, it doesn't sound like one.
My humbucker Teles don't sound anything like my Les Pauls.
I’m a fan of rock n roll lick it’s such a great one to play. Black dog is easy to stuff up. But is also great and very iconic
You guys are brave Jack, I wouldn’t be able to narrow it down to 10, there are so many great riffs. Good job making a list!
With Led Zeppelin/Page, imagine being so good it’s kind of an unwritten rule that only one of your riffs can be included. It’s a hell of a compliment.
They don't want to steal the show, but could have easily.
I just came across these videos and I love them. I can’t get no satisfaction has to bump something else out of the top 10 in my opinion, but I am good with everything else. Great work. Tons of fun. 👍🏾
That LP you’re holding in the intro while talking is stunning 😍
Absolutely nailed every tone. Sounds exactly like the records
Fabulous playing, and after watching this I gave up MY aims to be a guitar player!
Thanks for this, amazing sounds and so fabulously played here!
I saw a video a while back explaining how Jimmy Page droned the open "D" string against the fretted and slightly bent D note for Whole Lotta Love, creating a bit of dissonant tension. Listen carefully to the very first notes on the recording.

Uncle Larry?
@@johnshanesyandtheaccommoda1189 We all have a little Uncle Larry inside of us.
And that's exactly how this guy played it.
now you gotta do the top 10 strat riffs
He did.
Whole lotta love is definitely the sound I hear when I think of the Les Paul tone
I thought it was recorded on a Telecaster?
@@louissanderson719 we may never know until he confirms it, but it sounds like a Les Paul to me
I could watch anything this dude plays and be happy... man Peach Guitars is really luck to have you!
Wow, Rebel Rebel. Great underrated addition to the list. Never tried learning it but now it's a must. Off to learn it now. Thanks!
A few tele riffs there? No matter, just looking at an LP takes you there, playing one just oozes soul. Great vid.
Love my 57 Les Paul standard. Thanks Duane Allman.🙏
Great choices, and some of my faves... Whole Lotta Love! And, Led Zep could own all 10 spots! Great playing as always!
WOW
Great video, Great playing
That les Paul in the into is stunning
Not only in looks but tone !
Probably heard this one but would have Jessica on this list. This and your other Top 10s are wonderful. Thanks from Colorado.
Still of the Night (John Sykes in Whitesnake). My fav riff from the 80s
One of my favs of all time
Absolutely!
Mississippi Queen- it would have been fun to include an LP Jr riff. Also Walk This Way and Steppin Out immediately come to mind.
Walk this way was apparently a Strat
The video was totally bias towards English rock riffs… probably why.
Yes!
Mississippi Queen was done on a Les Paul Junior.........dog ear P-90 pup....
Walk this way apparently features Joe using a double cutaway LP Jr Model with a bridge p90 on the rhythm tracks and Strats on the solos
Whole lotta love is the undisputed best les Paul riff ever
Perhaps because that riff may have been played on a telecaster one can't be sure when it comes to anything on Zep 2 even Zep 3, some is still telecaster
@@joshmuz9018 pretty sure page has said it’s a les Paul, he had just gotten his number 1 from joe Walsh at that point but I kinda sounds like his black custom to my ear. Mid 69 and forward it was mainly les Paul and the tele was used for overdubs but Led Zeppelin II is mostly les Paul
Unfortunately wrong played...
God above! The amp sounds are glorious! Plus the murphy aged custom was off the charts!
A cracking song played on a les paul
Manic street preachers, a design for life . Nice melody .
I love playing Design For Life, it can be tricky to nail, but there's always that nervous moment on stage the first time round the chords where I'm wondering whether it's going to be a good version or whether I'm going to butcher it!
White Les Paul ! The Holy Bible was an amazing album .. bit dark !
Dude you nailed it perfect
Thank you Jack . I really enjoyed the video.
Wonderful list, tones, and guitars!!
Perfect!! You got me with OASIS Supersonic!! 👍👍👍🤘🤘
That Darkness riff just rips! Nothing like blasting an LP through a cranked Marshall! Vibrates your soul!
Nothing has sold more Les Pauls than the tone of Jimmy Page’s Telecaster crunch through a cranked Super Beatle amp with Transonic cabinets. 👍😁
I see where youre going with this, great riffs on the first album, but the whole second album (except for the electric 12 on Thank You and Living Loving) is the Les Paul... Iconic Les Paul tone, Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Moby, Bring it on Home, etc., etc, etc..... that aint no Tele!... oh and the Vox used for Lemon Song and Whole Lotta Love wasnt a Super Beatle it was a 7120....
Wow, it's not as if I've read this comment 784 times whenever Led Zeppelin and Les Pauls come up on a RUclips video....
The riffs are amazing.
But special separate thanks for nicely putting short stories behind each of them!
The Darkness played on a '68 Black Beauty - stunning

Clapton sold more original Les Pauls in the 60’s Than any other ( it made Gibson start making them again)
