So happy to see a Beatles song on here. I feel like so many people forget that George had an SG, he’s one of the reasons I have one.

The Pete Townshend Gibson SG + the Hiwatt AMP Sound is so great. And i would say the sound influenced a lot of bands like the acdc sound

If riffs were money you’d be a wealthy man and I would still wish I was your neighbor. This is the best show on the internet because of you and your playing. Blue Oyster Cult was a superb snag. The “Soft White Underbelly” has a library of memorable riffs.

man, I've watched all the top 10 riffs on this channel and can't get enough of Jack's playing. everything is so crisp, with a true attention to detail to each player's tendencies played with so much control and expression. absolutely love it.

That Wolfmother riff was so on point! SGs have always been my favorite guitar, was happy to see this.

For a minute you had me, with the honourable mentions - I really thought mr Iommi and mr Young were placed just there. The outrage! Good one. Stellar playing as usual and thanks, Jack: now I need an SG as well...

Great list! I noticed when Britney Howard of Alabama Shakes got that pretty blue SG on the Sound and Color album, she wrote some of their best riffs, imo.

I would have gone with “You Shook Me All Night Long” as THE most iconic....but hard to argue “Back in Black”...and Iron Man was a no brainer. Totally awesome renditions, btw

THATS WHAT WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR! ITS WHAT WE WANTED ALL ALONG

Congratulations a fantastic selection and great sound. Fantastic guitars, I have a standard black Gibson SG that I love every time I look at it, pick it up and play it. 🎶💥

It's well documented by Cream fanatics that the riff itself on Disraeli Gears was played with his Black Beauty Les Paul Custom. However, it's very much a SG riff live and in spirit imo Cheers!

Great video! Thanks!

Great choices, great playing, great presentation.

Nice to include The Joker And The Thief! I’m using it as the wake-up sound on my iPhone. Very effective. But my #1 SG-riffs are Paranoid and Whole Lotta Rosie. I didn’t know that Brown Sugar, also one of my favourite riffs of all time, is played on an SG.

Great to hear Riff Raff get a run - the riff that made me want to start playing!

Some serious playing my Friend 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great list! Edge of desire definitely made sense to be in the honorable mention due to its complexity

Band: Therapy! / song: nowhere. One of the best SG riff's which i have ever heard

Havent even watched the video yet.and all I can say is YAAAAAAASSS Ive never clicked a thumbnail so fast!

OMG! Love it 🎶❤🎶

Faith Healer - killer riff for the intro, nice that the Sensational Alex Harvey Band are not forgotten!

love seeing sunshine of your love being played so correctly. amazing

Great job on this list! I just probably would’ve made a 1C for Thunderstruck, it is one of the most iconic for an SG and an amazing intro and part for it. Great job 👏🏼 I always enjoy your videos. Thank you. One last note, there probably could have been a mention about Trucks as well with his slide guitar 🎸 action on his SG. 🙌🏼

Obviously Tony Iommi is a riff master but I don't even know if Iron Man is in my Top 5 for him. THAT'S how awesome his riffs are. I for sure put War Pigs ahead of Iron Man and Paranoid as well. Also NIB and Black Sabbath are slamming riffs as well. As for Angus, I'd say Back In Black is their most iconic riff but actually Malcolm wrote it and I remember years ago in a Guitar World interview (or one of the mags from back in the day) Angus said that when Malcolm originally brought the idea to him he played it in such a way that Angus couldn't even replicate it so the riff we've all heard a million times wasn't even originally supposed to be the exact riff. Pretty crazy.

I was definitely not expecting BYOB! Man that was freaking awesome.

Joined the club and got myself a 2019 61’ reissue Gibson sg with the maestro and I must say it has quickly become my favourite guitar.

Came here for Angus and Tony, I was not disappointed. Awesome video

You completely nailed Angus 🎸👏

Still waiting for Jaguars and Jazzmasters :) Keep these videos coming!!!

I guess I'm the only one that picked up on Faith Healer by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Zal Clemimson was a great guitarist that's been mostly overlooked by just about everyone. So glad you included his riff. The SG always sounded amazing in his hands.

Would love to be locked in a room with all those beautiful SGs. Each had their own unique sonic qualities and all were visually stunning

This dude is genuinely one of the best guitarists I've ever seen

Jack, I loved this video, glad B.O.C made the cut but not "don't fear the reaper" (a classic SG riff), I am very impressed by your Hendrix impersonation. as for greatest live album ever "live at Leeds" is indeed iconic but for my money the best live album ever is Live and Dangerous (even though there is some debate about how live it actually was), can't disagree with the number one choices, though I think War Pigs should have got an honourable mention.

Glad to see Wolfmother and SOAD on the list! Great bands!

your live at leeds riff is bang on!!!

That is a BEAUTIFUL SG at the beginning. Wow.
