20 Legendary Guitar Riffs
Музыка
So here are 20 of the most legendary, recognisable electric guitar riffs of all time. I probably should have done this years ago when I first started doing these kinds of videos, but better late than never. If I don't do it now, I never will. Feel free to suggest some more in the comments below!

I like to play these riffs as loud as possible in Guitar Stores

I actually considered editing them playing all at the same time on a loop but panned in different directions with reverb to get that guitar store sound.

Damn THIS TONE. Your guitar skills are great but your ability to replicate legendary tones is just beyond me.
Sad to know this series may end, it had an amazing run tho
Love that you included a T. Rex riff. Marc Bolan's riffs and songs are really underrated in my opinion, glad that someone recognizes that he was more than just glitter and a pretty face.

I did a separate video on T.Rex riffs. He had some great riffs and songs.
good one. Can you do the "Not lengendary at all" version?
Thank you for playing Paranoid correctly. Nobody does that. You’re the first KZreadr I’ve seen do it how it was ACTUALLY played!
I've been waiting for this video!
As soon as I saw this, I opened it. This goes to tell you how awesome your guitar videos are! 🎉

Maybe not so legendary but I used to crank out Nobody's Fault but Mine it's a cool deeper cut & a good riff

Maybe you should top 10 guitar riffs from the 1950s?
Principalmente o Nirvana... sou muito fan.
this dude adds as much fuzz as needed
What Gibson guitar were you using in the video? It looks similar to the guitar that Eric stewart used in 10cc. Thanks, Deacon Hill

I can see on your neck on voodoo child that you're mouthing the riff and it's hilarious because i do the same lmao
Which amp do you use or with what gadget do you get all those different sounds? I should get one as well.

Thanks I’m using a boss katana 50 mk2. All sounds are from there.
what setting do you use for the katana? i can get great cleans but it sounds terrible when i use my external distortion pedals.
@bloxsy_
Жыл бұрын
Same here with external pedals. For that reason I tend to just use a foot switch to switch between clean and distorted channels on the amp. I use the clean channel for the clean parts with gain and then switch to the 'crunch' channel for the distorted parts, or switch on the booster. Depends really. There was also a firmware update last year for the Katana, I don't know if that's something you could do also. There was some new sounds and settings in the tone studio that you can use to help you shape the tone even more.

I’m a huge fan of clean solid state amps, and here’s my two cents on getting a good drive sound from external pedals (I don’t have a Katana, but I think it should still help). Solid states are gonna be brighter and more fizzy and sharper than tube amps. If you like a tearing drive sound that’s great, but otherwise you might need to tame your high end. You also gotta realize a lot of drive sounds are pushing a driven amp. So stacking boost/dirt/distortion pedals into an amp-style overdrive can really help.

@@zachary963 honestly i think it is just the katana. i got rid of that thing and got myself a tone master twin reverb, i did the exact same eq and the distortion sounds way better. it’s at low volume on 1 watt, yes the 2 speakers make a difference but the katana just sucked from the get go.
Am I the only one who heard that last one and went "Hmmm, what's Hulk Hogan doing here?" 😁 Great video. 👍
I love everything you do. I don’t know why you’d change your name tho, too many Bloxsy’s? A few years back you had a version of Just Like Honey that made me cry. A beautiful boy sang it to me once long ago, he sounded a lot like you. Anyways he is long gone, but now I noticed that your original video is gone. Maybe I am mistaken 🤔 Anyways thanks for all the joy

I've always felt like the riff of dazed and confused should be recognized as legendary or more widely known. Of all the guitar riffs videos I've seen I rarely see it included. Despite it sounding sinister and looks to fun to bend the strings
