guitar is often used for texture in post-punk, you're right the bass is usually the main instrument

Moving from Siouxsie and the Banshees to Magazine was great. Both bands had John McGloch play guitar for them. A criminally under rated guitarist.

0:53 The Damned - Life Goes On (1982), Killing Joke - Eighties (1984), Nirvana - Come As You Are (1991) So, no, they don't sound like Nirvana. Nirvana sounds like Killing joke/the Damned.

Not enough people know the music of Pere Ubu, thanks for the shoutouts to so many great and underrated bands.

Loving all of your punk/post punk video's ... I grew up in that era , these are all my fave bands. I've never watched anyone play Chameleons ! Thank you !

This is brilliant! Nailed every one of my all time fave bands. Thank you!

Fantastic ,really good!! You could easily do part two and three of this - there were so many great bands and songs in this era.

Very nicely done once again. Would love love love you to do all of the riffs (& more?) from Television’s Marquee Moon album. It’s one of the few constants on my playlist and never, ever, gets old. Cheers!

Ex Lion Tamer is just so perfect. You can hear how Minor Threat took a lot of inspiration from the sound of Pink Flag

You can really tell that this guy is really into good music. Fab as usual!

Simple, yet trusty chords played with angst. Perfection.

Nice, your lick selections are on point. Snake Corps' "Look East For Eden" is another fun one to play.

With the isolated guitar, you can clearly hear the punk inspiration. It is post *punk* after all!

Awesome job, you covered just about every band . Impressed you included Mission of Burma.. I’d suggest Romeo Void- Never Say never, any track from the first two Pfurs albums and yes I consider the first two U2 albums post punk.

Super broad and appropriate range you covered. I was pleasantly surprised by a number of bands you included.

Greetings! Thanks for the job you’ve done! And I was very happy to see Borlands The Sound here!

Perfect choices. Damn, I'm gonna put everyone of these in a playlist. I'd forgotten about mission to Burma! Masterful 👌

I think its the first time i see pere ubu in a list of best riffs,incredible.

I love that you stated off with a Fall riff!

0:54 sounds like Come as you are

your picks are legit classics, nice performance

The 60's garage Fall and the 60's psychedelic Chameleons create some of your next 80's selections. Great work, cheers!!

Awesome stuff!! I have that same guitar btw: Fender Jag Player Series, but in orange. The split coils are fun to play with, but the full humbucker on the bridge is tops. such a fun guitar to play, especially with riffs from my favorite genre in music!

As i inherit my friend guitar, i decide to try learning playing as a rock star he was. thanks for your videos, cause they give me ideas and doesn't discourage me !

Would love to see more Post Punk riff compilations! Just a really cool era with so many different styles yet often so identifiable as the same general era

Fantastic collection of tunes, even Andy Gill (RIP) Gang of Four. Very cool.

When the band started, they were more high energy with short, droll songs. Punk icon, Richard Hell, was the bass player and his mordant wit and shambolic playing eventually came to cross purposes with Tom Verlaine, who had been evolving into a different direction. Too bad those old recordings are not available to the public (legally)...

They weren't just playing alongside the Ramones and the Stillettos (later Blondie). They built the stage at CB's to get their gig. Everything followed from that.

Nice Devo input. Great stuff.

I've always loved the "rusty bedsprings being hit by a bat" sound that Wire got for "I am the Fly."

Definitely need to do some Rowland S Howard riffs with that Jag.

Amazing and very well played.

Beautiful songs,my favorite genre.

Great video! I would suggest you do one with Post Punk bass riffs.

classic riffs from classic post punk albums, very cool 😺👍

This is definitely my favorite genre - it's so dreamy!

RESISTANCE BY THE SOUND DUDE. This make me happy thanks

Very inspiring. Just started to make a post punk playlist. Early New Model Army songs are loaded with classic post punk riffs- Vengence, Small Town England, Notice Me, Young Gifted & Skint .... They were really good at mixing jangly Johnny Marr style riffs with angular Gang of Four / Killing Joke style playing that leaves space for the bass. There's something about post punk that's less anarchic and more subversive. You can hear the legacy in music from decades later.

Aw man, you’re giving me shivers. Such great riffs! Two more suggestions: Romeovoid's “Never Say Never” (1982) and Big Black's “Kerosene” (1986). Both make great use of harmonics. Oh, and no Cocteau Twins? Early songs like “Wax and Wane” and “Feathers Oar-Blades” out-Banshee the Banshees IMHO.

I love Swamp Thing! it’s been a while since I listened, should go give that a stream. I never realized it could be post punk though :o

Amazing video.
