... I explicitly searched for “how to play keytar riffs”.

Sure this guy paid for an algorithm boost

[aaronhoran]

Literally the ready player one soundtrack

[LuckyOwI]

I love how all of these "keyboard" riffs are just played with a piano sound instead of the actual sounds they are supposed to be

[Ashyri]

River Flows In You sounds like a Soviet Russia joke. "You don't flow down rivers in Soviet Russia, rivers flow in you."

[wendt]

I love when people fight, while I'm just here enjoying the tunes and learning

[Asweetlovesong]

I got to be honest but river flows in you makes me want to cry because it is very beautiful and makes me feel sad for no reason

Most people: OMG TAKE ON ME
Me: mINinG

[mimikal]

After watching this video the whole screen is still appears to be moving up - crazy effect!

[clex]

This is suspiciously exactly what I was looking for...

[MarpyPlarpy]

Thank god. I had a riff stuck in my head and then started searching keyboard riffs and finally found it.

[winterfusion_]

Thank you so much accually been looking for the song called clock for ever

[RusliLPSoldier]

5:21 I swear! I heard them playing the song on a lyre Xylophone during parade.
Now i know the name of the song thanks! 😂😂

[babyjoker]

Half of these aren’t even synths. Superstition is played by a bass guitar and river flows in you is a piano song, as is clocks.

[Hamfantasy]

very nice & useful ! please go on and make a next "The further 20 Best Keyboard Riffs" thanks a lot

[julianschneck]

Making a video called "famous keyboard riffs" and play it with piano sound🤦‍♂️

[vassa]

Great video there were a couple of tunes that I couldn't recognize.

[thegreenfieldsprojectindia]

Toto, s Africa should also get included I guess.. It's one of the best keyboard riff ever made..
