When it comes to learning guitar, one of the first thing most of us do is start learning famous riffs from our favorite songs. And while I am a big fan of learning entire songs...sometimes you just need to play some riffs. Learning how to play easy riffs is a great way to get yourself motivated & inspired & out of a rut of just practicing exercises & drills. This will help you make sure that you have actual music that you're working on instead of getting hung up on the academics of playing guitar. Hope this helps you out!

Was on verge of giving up guitar. Spent my time practicing cords, root strumming, simple arpeggios and strumming patterns. Was becoming a chore to practice. Didn’t want to learn songs until i had ‘learned’ guitar. Your lesson has given me fresh impetus. Being retired I have plenty of time. Still learning the basics but your songs are the ‘reward’ at the end of the day. Thank you so much

I'm 65 years old and at 62 I fulfilled a lifelong dream of buying USA made Gibson and Fender guitar with a marshall amp.

I spent the first year and a half just learning scales and playing scale variations to backing tracks.


I never dreamed I'd be able to play some of these riffs. This is a fantastic lesson. Thank you so much.

🙏🕊️❤️

These are great. Put a smile on a frustrated beginners face. Thanks. 👌🏻

[philjames]

Cheers Brad .... you're correct, I spend far too much time noodling and practicing scales, modes etc, and too little time playing songs.
Enjoying these lessons as always!! 😀😀

It is so satisfying to play some of these newbie riffs! Thank you!

[carlhungus]

This was cool, thanks man. I can't tell you how many guys on youtube claim to be teaching easy ways to play guitar but what they are actually doing is frustrating the shit out of us by flopping all their fingers across the strings while saying just do this.but you can't see which notes to hit. You were one of the only guys who didn't make me want to put my head ..and my guitar in the microwave by the end of the video. You even covered my hero Keith Richards. Then u even got the blues brothers movie riff.. you are a wonderful kind man

[charlesthomas]

Great beginner stuff! Thanks for taking the time to teach the fundamentals!

[crisscrossam]

I am watching this video because i got a hold of a guitar, but i just like messing around with it, not really intending to learn to properly play/become a guitar player, which means that i just like learning cool simple riffs and playing them. So since im a rookie using 1 or 2 fingers max, and fretting 1 fret at a time is a godsend, while also having the ability of indirectly improving and be able to play harder things.

[johnbasiuk]

Thanks, you break it down so we’ll. Some of the riffs I’ve been playing but I like you adding in the power chords. Thanks again

[Alan-rcy]

As a total beginner (69) youve opened so much that makes learning guitar awsome...

[relllogan]

Had to stop half way into this and say bro you are an amazing teacher. 👍🏾

[mauriceee]

Been playing only chords for the years. This Ironman solo is my first. Thanks

[Tcyberdynesystems]

It was enjoyable to go through each of these riffs, some i can get pretty quick, others i need to practice some more to nail them. Thanks

[RonRegan]

I keep coming back to this video to refresh my memory. You've explained it and demonstrated it very well.

[lamontprospect]

The other great thing about this lesson is it's simple, you break it down and let us know the fret numbers which is so much easier than having to replay it 50 times to figure it out.

[leonaudacity]

Loved sitting down on the couch playing these through ❤

[DavidDibler]

Im a 53 year old who is learning to play and I suck ask my kids they will tell you lol. Thank you for making these videos it really helps

[masterarash]

Just started to learn the guitar a couple of days ago and these riffs are pretty fun to do while also helping me practice. Still not all that quick or precise yet but practice makes perfect haha.
