Misirlou was first recorded in 1927 and is a song about a Greek Christian man and an Egyptian Muslim woman. The fast picking comes from the fact it was written to be played on a lyra or Bouzouki.

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
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.
Doing a Django lesson is a brilliant idea Adrian! Please do!

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.

Incredible list of cool genre-diverse riffs. Love this!
Hi Adrian, thanks for coming back to grace our screens again in 2024. I love your lessons and approach.
Thank you, Adrian and a very Happy 2024 to you !
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'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
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 KZreadr! Thanks!
As always, great choice of riffs across a variety of styles!! The Suzy Q riff is probably the first guitar riff I am aware of having heard as a child (probably on TV or the radio and most likely the CCR version). Thanks Adrian and a have a fantastic new year!!
Absolutely impeccable taste as always.And showing just how versatile a tele can be!!!
Love this! I love taking the journey with you. Keep up the great work.
Happy New year, Adrian! Always lovely to see new videos from you! I hope 2024 is a great year for you, and I wish you all the best throughout the coming months!
Not only I'd like a full lesson about James Burton, but it would be great having some videos focusing on country rock songs.

You always do such a great job of making things accessible and achievable. Thanks so much, and happy new year!
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!
No shortage of how to play things on guitar on KZread. 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.
Man !!! Just a few weeks ago remember some Rappid Licks of yours. Keep on Grindin´ and happy 2024!!!!
More proof it's mostly about songs. The 10 songs you chose have it all. Outstanding!

BB King's comment on reading music: "It's better to know and not need than to need and not know." He's the greatest musician I ever heard perform live. It can't be recorded; all the difference in the world live! He said, "Scales educate the fingers." One of the reasons he liked the 335 was because he could hear it better than others when practicing scales without an amp. 🤘
Happy New Year to you too, Adrian! And thank you for the great lessons, highly appreciated here
Stellar selection of riffs. Covers a lot of ground AND in great taste 🤌
Your original Spellbound video really helped my picking accuracy more than any other exercise I did previously.
Happy New Year Adrian! Thanks for the help getting us out of ruts...lm sure we all go through em!
Happy New Year, great to see you again
Always both informative and brings a smile with your music choices. Thanks.🎸
Loved this lesson, thanks! More like this please 🙏
All the best for the New year Adrian. You have inspired over the years 🙏🏻 God Bless you 🙏🏻
Happy New Year to all of you! Thanks for another great lesson Adrian.
Happy New Year Adrian. Thank you for all you do.
Holy crap, your videos are Excellent!! Thanks for making them! I'm gonna go check out zodiac toys now!
Really great selection. Respect.
All terrific and iconic riffs!
Happy new year Adrian and thanks for all your great videos!
Great vid ! Thank you so much! Happy new year
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.
You are a gem. Happy New Year!
Good stuff! Happy New Year, Adrian! 😎
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.
Thanks for this, what an excellent selection to kick off the year 🙂
Happy New Year Adrian, best wishes to you. Thanks for all you do!
Inspirational stuff and a very useful ‘menu’ to have to choose from. Thank you!
I haven't heard Spellbound in years. Good lesson & happy new year.
Thanks for posting this. Some brilliant stuff on it for me to go over❤
After 2 weeks away at Christmas without guitars, this is just what I need to kick start the year! Thanks and Happy 2024!
Another excellent lesson. Your knowledge of guitar music is awesome.
Fantastic choice to start with.
Happy New Year Adrian. A great demonstration of what a tele can do.
thanks Adrian, have a great 2024, Django, yes
Just Thanks. Great Riffs. Your ability to inspire us to pick and play and the way you break them down and make it easy to learn. Thanks
Hi Adrian, This is super-useful! Thanks so much and VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!
Merci for the suggestions.
Happy new year. Hope it’s been a good one so far. Thanks for another great lesson. These videos are very helpful.
Very good choices for this lesson, I will enjoy this. Thanks
Welcome back. Happy new year.
Great study, as always! Cheers!
Great Riffs👍
Love your channel!
Great new year video, Adrian! A great approach - learn enough songs with modest proficiency and you can’t help but add a host of techniques to your playing. At least, that’s what I tell myself when avoiding practice drills.

Happy New Year ! You're still one of the best teachers on the web ! 😌🙏✊
Great choice of songs Adrian.
Fantastic lesson. Gilmour solo and Misirlou are perfect for couple of my weak spots. Would love that Django lesson.
Happy new year Adrian. Health and happiness to you and yours.
great video with some nice direction. Thank you!
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
Great vid, thank you!!
Jolly good...same to you.... cheers from Canada.
Fantastic video. Many thanks
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!
Awesome licks Mate.
Great video!
That was cool, glad I found your channel
Great tips and advice. Thanks.
So glad I found your channel
Fantastic! You have impeccable taste.
Happy New Year! You're spoiling us, as usual. If you're feeling up for it, another Dick Dale lesson would be awesome!
Thank you so much. I agree with the logic of this practice advice.
Happy New Year Adrian. Great lesson and yes please for a Django lesson.
Knew I was in for a treat with this vid when song No.1 was Spellbound. Absolutely classic part and deceptively tricky!
Thanks very much for the video. Something to work on for improving technique. I need to get me some of that one day.
That Roy Nichols bit was from a solo he played on working man blues live in austin texas. I learned the whole solo note for note because it was one of the coolest country solos I ever heard.
Excellent!!❤
Great advice about practicing with musicality in mind.
Excellent instructional video
Yay me first! Great idea for a video Love your tutorials Got so many great songs under my belt from you

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
best guitar channel on the youtubes
nice thank you
Bravo!
Bonne année Adrian!
Great pick for number one! Johnny Smith comes to mind too, when it comes to excellent jazz guitar players.
As ever, thanks for everything Adrian. Nice Daniel Johnston t shirt - Chrimbo pressie?
Great song choices. I love “Girl From the North Country”!
happy and successful new year! \o/
Happy New Year!!!!
Happy new year ❤.
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. 🙂
Anything by Mountain is my go-to for riff practice.
