Been self taught for 6 years and started with videos like this . Just had it recommended to me , the nostalgia 🥲
How do you recommend starting out? Ive got decent at picking but still have trouble strumming and what not
@@geraldharpe4096 i recommend Rocksmith i find that it definitely helps
Just keep practicing. Check out stuff like Justin guitar
@@geraldharpe4096 Been playin for 25ish years and my advice with strumming for new players is be confidant, don't be afraid to make a noise. A loose wrist and elbow is also very important take time to figure out the correct amount of pressure to hold your pick between your fingers. I also recommend learning full songs not just bits and pieces. Enjoy your journey man.
I would say concentrate more on strumming than picking when your starting out been playing about 40+ years but what do I know haha😂
You and I have a very different definition for "Absolute Beginners". But thank you for the video. I might come back to this one after a few months.
slow everything down to a crawl. start without rhythm, just get the notes down for one bar and then try with a metronome at like 80 bpm. the important thing is to always take it slow enough to not make mistakes. speeding up is easy once you have a pattern down but you need to do everything good and not rushing. of course you can't play these riffs at full speed on sight on your first try.
Exactly what @salty_3k506 said. These riffs are very beginner friendly, but you still need to slow them down and learn the pattern first. Even advanced players can rarely skip that first step.
@@KevinBalke only when you're at a really high level but even though most people need to slow down, only the best players can just copy a riff at full speed on sight and slowing down and then speeding up often takes less time than you think so if you slow down first and then speed up when you can play it well at the slower speed, it shouldn't even take that long but never play sloppy, it just slows the process down.
This is what I was thinking!
I play a hand full of these riffs almost every day. Some are harder than others, but it is so satisfying to improve on the harder ones. Me, a complete begginer att it for about a month, to slide up and down the neck for the sweater song more smoothly is great. i still cant play it at the normal tempo, and sometimes mute notes when i dont mean to but a little progress is great.
I've been going overboard on chords, learning E's and G's and A's and D's, but I never felt like I was actually making music. I know it's important to get the building blocks solid, but being able to throw in something like this every now and again is not only fun, but it helps with early motivation. Small wins that make you feel like you're making great strides, especially if you can later combine it with the fundamentals.
I'll get there eventually, it's just easy to get demoralised - but from what I understand, there's not a single guitar player alive that hasn't been where I was.
Dumb
Keep in there. We've all been there (maybe not Hendrix etc)
1:53 Sweat Dreams
3:02 Symphony of Destruction so cool
Been playing for 2 years now , theory is great but to watch a video and learn something quick and to practice timing and being consistent has been my biggest aid
Been playing for more than 20 years and still searching beginner guitar riffs

As a bassist who’s gonna learn guitar this helped so much
I m a complette beginner and i cant play none of these
Dude there are some really basic ones on there. Have you actually tried or are you just frothing at the gash to put something on here? Practice a little. You'll be right. You'll get there.
1st day playing an I can do some already but I have been playing for like 4 hours straight tho
That’s good
You can’t play none which means you can play them all
Kkkkk me tooooo
i bought my guitar in may.. and i haven't figured it out how to play until now...
this video is really helpful thank you!!
Progress update?
Excellent, cheers from Canada...
Песня Otherside была одной из первых, на которой училась сыгрываться наша кавер-группа. А у Мэрилина Мэнсона я для обучения выбрал Fight Song.
P. S.: подборка класс👍
Thanks! Good job! Regards
Wonderful makes me learn faster😁
As a beginner I can say this is a bit beyond but not impossible
Thank you!
Technically Reptilia is a lot harder than that because he actually strums through the strings and mutes the others (similar to Can't Stop). Other than that, good list, props for including some songs not commonly found on videos like these rather than the same ones over and over again, i.e. Boys Don't Cry, All These Things That I've Done
Always one
Well "ackchully" 😂😂😂😂
He plays the stripped down version over the beginning of the verse basically as the video plays it.
Merci et bravo Monsieur
OMG I love the sweet dreams song!!!
You missed „Poison was the cure“ by Megadeth, it was the first thing I ever learned
I reccomend Stand up and shout by dio for power chord practice, also Eternal Dark by Picture because it's fairly simple and awesome (as well covered by hammerfall)
thank u so much!!!!!!
Happy new year ,wish u all the best, was wondering if u could play those songs fully ,I d like to learn with these numbers method,thanks so much
Unless it's Hendrix or Trower I don't want to play it . Great Lessons . ✨🇺🇸✨🇫🇴🇨🇦🇺🇸👌
There are so many more bands that are better than hendrix or trower
I was given a 7 string guitar, and I’m gonna definitely try to learn a bit!
I have a 6 string and i want a 7 string so bad 😂 I would play only the 7th string forever
Tanks dude
If you have to do alternative picking or excessive (or probably any) pull-offs and hammer-one, it’s not “absolute beginner”
😅😅😅😅😊😅
thanks for the video! how can i start fingerstyle guitar? where would you recommend to start?
Awesome
Sweet Dreams is one of the first songs I learned on guitar and bass

How do you get the Tab to show up on screen? What program do you use?? How do you accomplish that?!
From where do you get only drums background to train?
Can’t believe you forgot the easiest of them all - Rock you like a Hurricane
Führe Mich by Rammstein is so easy for beginners too.
you have a strange definition of beginner
This is literally beginner songs
Its not gonna come so easy…
Really awesome, until the end when you said to tell me friends and I remembered I don't have any
I've been planning to buy this exact guitar
And ??? No one cares
@@andypyper5294i really really care
@@andypyper5294?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't see the intro rythmn riff to Nothing Else Matters by Metallica in this. There is NO fretwork required at all.
someone could please tell me with are the amp settings for Sweet dreams( 1:52 )? I really tried to adjust like sounds in the video but I just got my guitar and I dont understand how amps works yet!!
0:18
Kevin, how you doing backing tracks?
Can you show some simple trick how to sweep picking
🔥
Which Ibanez "S" model is that? Love that satin natural wood finish!
Ibanez S521-MOL
Gut.
Never realized how much “Sweet Dreams” sounds like “Crazy Train”
OMG that the guitar I was just looking at lol
Of all the ones I've seen, this is the strangest way to play Seven Nation Army
grad das solo von Megadeath ist für beginner ^^ davon ist nur das ganz kleine stück für beginner

Easy peasy
Absolute beginner? Let’s see if I can actually play any of these in a month

Теперь можно в музыкальный магазин сходить)
So, I'm embarassed to say this, but here we go.
I'm mostly an acoustic fingerstyle player, and I can play some pretty challenging stuff that way, while not being able to do some relatively simple things on electric with a pick. In particular, whether on acoustic or electric, I suck at simple power chord-based riffs. It seemed to me like "You Really Got Me" was the obvious choice to get better at this; but when sliding up and down the neck between the two chords, I find my power chord shape collapses and my fingers don't stay apart: when I slide up from 355xxx to 577xxx, I end up with 566xxx instead. I can make a power chord easily, and I can pick my fingers up and put them down in a power chord shape easily enough; but if I slide along the neck from one to another, even just two frets, it falls apart. What the hell?
A little bit late of an answer, maybe you already figured it out on your own, but if not I may be able to help you a bit. I'm a beginner guitarist myself, playing for just over a year now (electric guitar only and also self-taught) and I had the same problem. Two things came to my mind that could be helpful. First, the easiest and most unsatisfying answer is just keep playing (and practicing) It's a movement that needs practice and higher finger strength surely helps keeping your fingers in position. The second more precise advice would be to tunnel your focus and your eyes on your ring finger (the one that keeps falling out of position) and explicitely try to move him to the right spot. Your other finger will most likely be able to remain in the correct position even 'unconciously'. And even if not, it'll still help you get the right feeling for your ring finger. Hope I could help with the little knowledge I can provide. Let me know about your progress, mate.
I also learned acoustic first, now trying to learn electric. Very different. They almost don't play open accords and pick is a must. I tried finger picking with electic and sound is very muted.
I have been playing Guitar for 12 years and my self esteem really is low enough for me to click on this video…
All in Standard tune?
Absolute Beginners
🤘😈
🎸
THE KINKS AND RAMMSTEIN MENTIONED FUCK YEAHH
If I ever hear Seven Nation Army again in my life it'll be too soon.
Smoke on the water???
where was tornado of souls solo?
liked the cure.
Technically Enter Sandman with the pinky to let the 7 ring not at easy as it looks.
I like the songs but the way you did the tabs is frustrating because I can't pause it at the beginning of the rift is part of the end of the old one and then switches to the middle if you could fix that that would be awesome just make it so when I pause it the whole rift I'm trying to play or at least most of it is on the screen instead of the first part disappears and Then You Only got The Middle and Then the end
Skill issue
Also, google the tabs
I can only play the first and 4th decently
If you trill the flat 5 with the 5, you lose the power of the flat 5. It's supposed to make you feel uneasy. Most guitar players use it wrong 😕
my guitar doesnt want to play this
You are playing Enter sandman wrong. But other than that, good video.

i know guys that have been playing for 30 years + and they cant do the Sweater Song if their lives depended on it
Player of 1 month and roughly learnt it in an hour, what makes it difficult? (This is not intended rudely)
1:52
crazy train?
Marylin mansons version of sweet dreams
i do not found my guitar in the trash to play this
0:57 I thought it was Sanatarium by Metallica at first 😁
There's a certain resemblance there.
Jesus, wish I could play these as an absolute beginner! No chance of beginners playing these... Look at work your left hand is doing and that's before your right hand haha... Good video though

For part 2
The back in black licks in between the main riff can be quite tricky
@@FenderFanboy91 The guitar licks on AC/DC's "Back in Black" can be really hard to master. Angus Young's guitar work on this song is iconic and takes some skill and practice to play accurately.
You think a song like SCOM -which is played across from memory four strings - is a beginner riff? Sure, a learner *could* learn it, but that's not a good starting point. It's a recipe for frustration.
Johnny B. Goode is not beginner friendly at all, I've been trying to master just the intro for months. The speed at which it's played is insane.
А ну ничего так
bro. i play guitar approximately 6 month. And riffs in video is NOT FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS. I remember how i see on guitar, when i take her at first time. I think what it rubbish riffs. I fan Slipknot and Rammstein. Right now at 6 month i learned all riffs rammstein. It group for really beginners. RIFFS FOR AMATEURS which take guitar in his hand first time in his life looks like:
Ich will (!)
Rosenrot (!)
Sonne (!)
Amour (!) - first song what i played. learn that 3 days for 0 lvl.
Benzin (!)
Breaking the law (!) - i agree for that
Burn it down - solo
Dalai Lama
Stein um stein (!)
Deutchland (!)
Haifisch (!)
I wanna be your dog
Los
Links 2 3 4
Mann gegen mann (!)
Monster (!)
Zwitter
! - its riffs which you will may learn for 1-2-3 days(when you take guitar first time).
my beginners would be a long time learning these
Hmmm I think you're mistaken and just putting beginners on the wrong path. Indeed you can spent 3 whole days on learning the picking part for Deutschland and you'll learn something (+ a lot of fun!), but the riffs in this video teach something about scales/chords.
The riffs are great but I say 1 in a1000 beginners would put I the work required to learn the trickier one here
What he said...
What you been smoking????😅
I for sure can tell that some of these underestimate the beginner's coordination (because i was a beginner and jam with one seldomly), while some were kinda way too easy
But otherwise a nice collection of riffs, they all utilise some techniques one can learn and are nice introduction to some popular bands (i haven't heard of a few myself)
The Killers' All These Things That I've Done is a really great riff, i really liked it (first time hearing it as well) and interesting and not too hard to figure out
hey man the tempo on the vid is too fast it would be helpful if you could do it slow once to show how its played before you go fast otherwise frustrated beginners are going to quit
This is not for beginners 😢
An absolute beginner has the same chance of playing those as a snowball has of surviving in ther south of hades!
I’m actually an absolute beginner and I can play most of these. Not perfect but friends and family understand the songs attempted.
@@JAHLife Well good for you, but you are an absolute prodigy, the average beginner has more chance of striking a match on jelly!
@@SuperJ333 HAHAHAHA 🤣🤣 thank you for the kind words!!! I sure wish I was a prodigy. I'm just at the 200 hour mark... So not even a year in yet. I try to practice for 60 minutes a day. It's hard for sure. Takes dedication and commitment. Mostly - I wanna smash the damn thing LOL. Also builds patience and restraint LMAO
@@JAHLife Well I only wish I had you as a pupil - I always tell mine there are 3 important things you need if you want to play guitar, and in order of importance they are: practice, practice, and practice.
There's no such thing as achievement without effort, or progress without sacrifice, and there's no secret and no shortcuts - of course intelligent and properly structured practice helps, but basically you just have to put the time in.
So, 60 minutes a day is totally awesome - you're going to be good - but most people's lives don't permit that, and they'd be 2 years down the line before they're anywhere near you - in fact most sessions start with people telling me "I'm sorry but I've not had a lot of time to practice because...whatever" by which they really mean I haven't picked my guitar up since the last lesson!
One guy said he didn't have a guitar so could he just borrow one of mine for the lesson - as if you can learn anything in an hour a fortnight - it's exactly the same as learing to swim or riding a bike - it's just muscle memory, and nobody can teach you how to do it, you have to teach yourself.
So what I usually say is don't put the guitar away, get a guitar stand and keep it by your favourite chair, with a tuner and a capo clipped on the headstock, and a pick wedged in the strings.
Then, while you're waiting for your coffee to cool, pick it up for a couple of mintes - when the adverts come on, hit mute and pick it up for a couple of minutes - while you're waiting for eBay customer services to call you back, pick it up - there's a good practice session for a start!
If you wait 'till you have half an hour free, it won't happen, so little and often is the best way to re-program your brain, which is what you're actually doing.
However, for most people there's a problem with teaching themselves on line, because they don't know how to structure their own learning, and they end up missing out important foundational stages, which becomes a problem later on, so that's how I see my role, not so much as a 'teacher' but as a guide, an advisor, a guitar consultant if you will - and an encourager, of course, because you will almost certainly become discouraged.
Learning isn't a smooth curve, it's more like a series of steps - you seem to be getting nowhere, then you break through, and that's great, but then you plateau again before the next breakthrough.
In the meantime you think you're not learning anything or making any progress, but you are - it's what's called a continuous process, operating discretely.
You fall off the bike every day, and you run out of Germoline, and you want to give up, but then one morning you get up and you can ride the bike - what happened - nothing, you were learning all the time you were falling off, and now you've broken through - and the muswcle memory you've programmed is permanent - it might get a bit rusty if it's not used, but it's still there - once you can swin you'll always be a swimmer - and the same is true of guitar, so be encouraged - it's worth the effort.
So, keep up the good work, but there's no rush - you don't have to turn into an obsessed guitar geek - yoiu've got a life too, and if you haven't, then get one, or you won't be happy! Tske care.
Fantastic - I knew none of those whatsoever.
Bring on some proper 70’s music
This is not easy
Wouldn't be easier to put the chords instead of music sheets?
no, actually!! bc most of them are, like, fingerstyle so sometimes it's just single notes and not chords!!
please use chord charts instead of tabs
While chord charts won't help with learning the riffs in this particular video, I've started uploading a few new videos focusing on chords, chords charts and strumming patterns.
Otherside and californication are not really good for absolute beginners.
Чел у тебя проблемы в слове начинающий.
It’s great that these riffs are shown so clearly for people to learn. But the format just reminds me of the literally millions of guitarists out there who have ONLY learned the riff. They waste so much time in jam sessions by playing only a part of a song, and then when they get to the next frikkin part that they DON’T KNOW, the piece unceremoniously peters out and dies a pathetic death. Don’t just learn ‘the riff’ . Learn the song. Otherwise it’s just time wasting, undisciplined wankery.
Sweet Dreams is not a Marilyn Manson song 🤦♂️ It’s a 1983 song from Eurythmics. Manson just did a new version of it.
dude these riffs are not for beginners.
