Sometimes I wish to myself "man, I wish Sammy G would randomly approach me with guitar trivia for a chance at money."
he wouldve gave me enough money to buy a new guitar :)
I wish that all the time
Yep, I'd like that too. And I think my chances are pretty high, considering I pretty much never leave a small town of about two thousand inhabitants thousands of miles from Canada.
It's worse when you live in Winnipeg and went to some of these locations just a few days ago!
It’s good to be older than you feel inside! Beats the opposite.
The irony of not knowing 'Sweet Child O'Mine' while wearing a Guns N' Roses tee-shirt.
Especially a shirt for Appetite of Destruction 😂
I was sure he was joking at first, but I guess the shirt just looks cool to him.
honestly tho some people can’t identify a song off a guitar riff like that, its just how their brains are wired. with my dad i can play his favorite songs on guitar and he wouldnt know what it is unless i told him
the same is with teams caps and jerseys
@@StarSwisss That lick is like a vocal melody most people not familiar with GnR even know. Maybe if you played the chords under would be different.
Pleeeaaase do this again with seriously old peeps to see what they can remember. You may find out what you will become a few decades down the track!
Define seriously old peeps. Follow up: what if they're not serious? Cheers....
@@bazzer124 I only interview the casually old
I volunteer as tribute
Hear hear!!
They would get all of these, they lived through everythijg
As a member of the Gen Z and from a tropical country, I can assure there is 2 kinds of Gen Z:
1 - The ones that can't tell the difference between a guitar and a bass
2 - The ones that are completely in love with guitar music, enjoying from jazz to death metal.
Idk, I really like guitar but I only really enjoy it with country (in very specific cases, not very widely), rock, and metal (not death tho)
Damn thats literally me wtf we should be friends
There was a period in the last 10 years where genres really didn't matter. You couldn't get a concise answer to the question "what do you listen to?", but I've noticed in the last couple of years, genres and subcultures have been returning, mostly punks in my country.
I'm 14 years old and i love playing Blues
a bass is a guitar
Pretty ironic that the kid who could not name "Sweet Child o' Mine" was wearing a shirt with "Guns n Roses" written on it
Besides the patchy, but expected, knowledge from these young folks, one thing struck me. Everyone would have you believe that each generation is worse than the last but every single one of these people seemed like a cool and respectful individual. It was a nice reminder that people are just people, whatever generation they come from!
Everyone would have you believe that? That's as ridiculous a statement as the in-my-day crowd. 😉
its because he was giving away money.
They were Canadian….
They are from Canada.... americans would have a different vibe
SammyG is from Canada though so that’s kinda cheating
I was proud of myself for knowing all the answers, but then I remembered that I'm a guitarist in my 40's 😂
GenX has to know all the old boomer stuff through all the zoomer stuff. We carry the torch. We teach our kids. We are the keepers of knowledge.
I have no gitter knowledge after about 2000.
@@mikelundquist4596 yeah I struggled on the later questions also. But I know EVERYTHING about the 60s through the 90s, the guitar decades.
Great video Sammy G! It's wonderful to watch someone in our generation uplifting the younger one instead of admonishing them for not knowing things that we take for granted having lived through that point in time.
I'm currently 14, I've been playing electric guitar for about a year and now a
I'm a lead guitarist for a cover band! Guitar will never die 🤘
Greatest instrument there ever was
The perks of being a kid. You learn things really quickly.
@@NostalgiaforInfinityWhile kids don't have to work and therefore have much more free time, I have to disagree. I think it has more to do with quality over quantity, as well as a passion to learn. 10 minutes of focused practice is better than an hour of random noodling, for example.
@@Trippsy05 It has nothing to do with being busy or not. Children and teenagers have a more impressionable and "malleable" brain, because it's still developing. So it's easier for them to learn new things. It also helps that they aren't set in their ways, so they haven't developed too many biases that get in the way of learning something new.
Great God. Nowadays Guitar for youngins are close to dying and Band Culture is pretty much dead (Labels nowadays prioritze solo artists).

@@bits_and_basssame here
I picked up guitar at around 16. Definitely a long and perhaps difficult journey, but it's one that is absolutely full of fun and joy.
I love the thoughtful parts in between where you reflect on how things have changed and you interacting with youngsters.
Same here! I thought that was a really cool detail.
Shoutouts to the guy wearing a GnR shirt and didn't reconize Sweet Child of Mine
Worse, it was an Appetite for Destruction shirt!
had to be a hand-me-down or something
Whenever I watch trivia videos I think that I’d do so well. Now that I was in this one and put on the spot with questions, I had no clue how much harder it would be. Anyways great video and I’m glad I could be a part of it!
Which one were you?
@@nonstopoverthinker212 The guy with a checkered shirt and a jeep t-shirt is my guess
This was fun! Makes me feel old too, but it’s interesting hearing what the youngsters have to say and know. You should do more of these!
I'm glad you compared this to asking a 16-year-old in 2007. I was thinking back, and I don't know if I would have been able to answer some of those questions when I was that age, but it feels like common knowledge now. It's easy to forget that everything you know you had to learn at some point.
7:47 The fact that buddy wore a guns and roses shirt, but couldn't guess sweet child of mine
It is painful
standard
Not surprising GnR are massive sellouts. If you can buy their Tees in a high street shop how are you meat to know it's a band and not a brand?
I'd love to see this whole Gen Z music trivia become a recurring series on your channel. This was such a fun video!
7:49 the irony
I was looking for this comment!
Hahaha 😂 I didn't notice his shirt until I saw this comment
5:36 "For us Millennials" Damn, making this gen Xer feel f@#king old.
Honto Jania needs to be a thing! I'd totally be into it!
Definitely! I want that in my life.
If you want it to be a thing; Start making some yourself. Put it out into the world, and then it'll exist! You can do it!
Myself also desires that object, and I would be inside of general reference.
Hey Sammy G, just letting you know how much I love watching your videos! Im just about to turn 15, and my guitar journey has started not too long ago. But, I have been watching your videos for a long time, and I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to start to explore the wonders of becoming a guitarist!
I really enjoy this format of video. Keep on truckin'!
Multiple choice definitely helped them in many cases here. The main takeaway for me is that a lot of seemingly once upon a time mainstream guitar orientated trivia is now not quite so well known. Perhaps it wasn't known even back in the day either though, and it is only because we were actively receptive to taking in information about our musical interests,. Perhaps it is possible that we have always been the niche and the average person in any generation also doesn't care enough about music of any kind to remember anything they may have come across in life. Another thought is that if you ask them about their favourite artists, what you'd get back from them will be influenced by their position of how they interact with them, i.e a guitarist will be way more likely to have more knowledge on all sorts related to it, compared to a non-musician who enjoys listening to some music.
It is obviously clear through statistics that guitar-orientated music artists INDIVIDUALLY are not being listened to in anyway near the amount they have in the past, whether or not that is because there's simply more artists to choose from with new media compared to legacy media though is another thing.
I'm turning 36 soon. I'm pretty sure that in my generation, at that age, you'd get generally similar results.
Kid in the GNR shirt should have paid you $20 and taken his shirt off for not knowing Sweet Child O Mine, lol.
This type of content is the most entertaining. I love it!
Fun video! I would love to see you revisit the idea by contrasting these results with residents of a retirement community. Sure, they'll get Woodstock, but would they be able to identify The White Stripes or Dave Grohl? Would they be any better at the technical questions about fretting hands or where the tuners are?
Better yet- bring them together and have a jeopardy style game show!
Keep up the great work, Sammi G!
Great stuff Samurai! Cheers!!
This was such a nice video and the kids were great. Also loving seeing some of the hometown displayed.
This make me think of a video from the 90s. A reporter went to a university and started handing In Utero CDs and then came back the next day for honest reviews. Everyone came back and shared their feelings, which were mostly positive. It is astounding to me the level of acceptance of that kind of music had back then, very little people would like it. Also, now who owns a CD player and who would have the concentration to listen a song longer than a tiktok video.
Anyways, great video!
we still listen to albums?? wdym
CD's are bad... Digital is better.
@@dedalomusic this is a joke, right? cds are digital
@@leomolas4431 No shit, I didn't know. I meant that they are still a physical disk. The piece of equipment is indeed analog.
All-digital streamed music is better.
Guitar playing dad of 2 teenage boys, 16 & 18.
They both listen to music, mostly guitar based stuff on the heavier side. In their HS there are only 4 kids that play guitar, 1 drummer and of course no bass players.
There are younger kids playing, just not as many as before. My oldest plays and is light years ahead of where I was after a couple years. Kid even took a guitar building class and built a really nice playing Dimebag style guitar at school.
Have faith man, it’s not going away
Recently, after the rise of Polyphia, Ichika and some others, more people have started learning guitar. Granted its a different style of playing, but still.
There was an anime called 'Bocchi the Rock' that aired a few months ago which inspired so many people to buy guitar that the stores in Japan ran out of Yamaha and Epiphone guitars.
Ayy Buckethead!! \m/
So cool seeing our city Winnipeg in these type of videos, never seen anyone else do it! You need to do more of these! Huge fan of your content! Rock on
I got the vast majority of them right, but one that really threw me for a loop was the term “plectrum.” I had never heard that before in my life lol
That was an awesome episode. Lived it.
Awesome vid man! luv ur stuff!
This video was really entertaining, hopping for more like this. As a 23 year old I wasn’t surprised. Most of my friends don’t really care for guitar at all. They listen to rap or pop.
Always neat to recognize places around my city in your videos haha!
which city? looked nice
As a 14 year old member of gen z I would have made BANK because I knew every answer 😂
nahhh i'm 18 and i'm practicing texas blues and some jazz
jazz will never die and i am one of those who still play jazz in this generation
Kids still appreciate a good guitar solo and riff. DOOM's soundtrack is and was all the rage.
1:39 Lol you know this guy is a real one because he waited just long enough to make sure it wasn’t The Pretender 😂
I'm 51 and haven't heard of Simpsonwave or Lowercase! Are those really guitar questions or general music questions? I think the latter is true but, maybe that's because I would have aced it if not for that one 🤬
Thanks Sammy G. , this was enlightening and fun!✌️❤️🎸🎶🙏
I would have gone for Underneath the Bridge, but yeah, not likely to know that one either. Wait until you hit 40. I'm surrounded at work by young folk whose parents are all the same age as me. Its interesting to talk with them because I've kept up a little on current music, but not in the mainstream. I also have a wellspring of knowledge about music and music history that I like to bombard them with. Its fun.
Winnipegers: Cool, let's play Spot That Location!!!
The Forks (two places), BDI, and Polo Park...
The fact that "Honto Janai" translates to "(It's) not true". Very sneaky, Sammy G.
ngl it should definitely be a real genre under that same name, because in a way it's not "true" english as it's been all messed up by google translate's wonderful and flawless translations
lol that rick and morty shirt was profiling.
Man I wish I’d been in peg that day !!! I would love to run into you one day. I’ve watched you for years.
my favorite part is the dude calling it the "aux cord"
Absolutely loved this video!
Surprise surprise, Gen Z knows just as much about guitar as the average non-guitar player.
Ive gotta say, as a young person whos been playing guitar for 10 years now, it seems to have come a long way. It isnt what it once was, and its a little sad im never going to experience that era gone past, but i mean, theres lots of cool things now that werent around back then (like so many digital platforms for effects/producing) so i cant say im not thankful for that!
Great video, very entertaining!
I love this video, I'd like to see more like this.
This was a fun watch. I kind of wonder though, if you were to ask these questions to a random group of Gen X-ers, how much better (if at all) we would do? I feel like a lot of them were more the type of stuff only guitar players would know, more technical questions regarding the physicality of the instrument itself, regardless of their generation. Kind of hard for me to say, being an X-er who grew up playing guitar, lol.
You would have to make the questions appropriately old though.
Man, I would come out either on top or bottom drpending on the questions. Like, throw me first bar of a song and im 75% confident I'll get it. But when it comes to dates and names... I'm not certain I know the names of my flatmates let alone band members.
Love the slow zoom in on the sweet child opener lol
The \m/ represents devil horns modernly, but derived from the Italian method of averting the evil eye that Dio saw his grandma do as a kid, thought it looked cool, and started doing in concerts.
(That’s what Dio says at least, …but the cornu really is traditional for averting the evil eye)
Man, do more of these please, this was a gret video! It hurt my soul a bit as a zoomer but it was great too lol
Lmao the "some sh!t like that" had me rolling.
As a Gen Z, I would have my uni debts paid off if I was in this video.
I'm 64, and realized from your questions that I started losing touch with mainstream popular music around 2004.
PS I didn't n't know what Wonderwall had become
Why 2004? That seems like a random year.
5:17 that was sweet of him to hand over the dosh.
From now to when I was in high school in the nineties is the same amount of time as when I was in high school to the late 60s. It blew my mind when I realized that.
Sammy G, the best guy on YT! Clever, creative, friendly and hard working family man. Cool 😊
Absolute home run. Headphone commercial included.
LOL the guy who didn't know the artist trying to identify "sweet child of mine" when he was wearing a guns and roses t-shirt
I loved this type of video! more like it would be awesome to see
@ClickOnProfile514 stop lying to people with a fake account. only 1 true sammy g
Brilliant guitar video on the streets of Winnipeg! Love it!.... omg still laughing about Countryfest
I'm 62 and love/hate this.
Excellent job.
I love how the name of the genre 'Honto Janai' literally translates to "it's not real" in japanese.
im 17, and i didnt miss any of the questions. been playing guitar for 6 years now, and my favorite guitarist is Larry Carlton. real music will never die 🤘
Hey, 8-bar blues *is* a very common blues progression! Just not as common as 12, and more commonly played in acoustic blues. Cf. Robert Johnson's "Key to the Highway" for a famous example.
I saw Crouton last year… they put on an epic show!
I just wanna say I KILLED this trivia
im only like 14 but im a big fan of rock, my favorite rock band is the killers or a7x as of recently, my main introduction to rock/metal was probably guitar hero, because of its inclusion of dragonforce. (im still pretty new to rock though)
0:40 my man really grabbed those 20 bucks like that 😂
Never ask multiple choice questions to test a person's "knowledge". Even less so with only 2 options. They can pick the right one without knowing why and "win" xD
And throwing in an answer like "crouton" which seemed obvious compared to the other answers. Definitely not anywhere near a scientific approach.
That was a really fun video. While you not quite at the "get off my lawn" phase of life yet, remember that getting older is better than the alternative.
it also depends on the zoomer you ask. I'm 18 and would have been able to answer all of these questions. It really just depends on the individual and what they're into
And it was always like that - even when guitar music was huge.
the glasses gag got me good :)
You want to feel younger I remember my father taking me and my brother to an overpass on the NY interstate and seeing cars backed up for dozens of miles thanks to Woodstock.
I was the guy with the Rick and Morty T shirt and I'm so excited I found the video also surprised I got some right but laughing at the ones I got wrong it was awesome to meet u brother tysm 😊 🙏 ❤️
“Please tell me you know this” my thoughts exactly 😂
Look out for my Honto Janai album dropping soon!
Playing guitar, drums, and keyboard for over 50 years … never knew it’s pronounced YAM-aha. Always room for learnin’ no matter how old.
Kinda curious who he put as his top 3 guitarists. My Answer probably would have been Hendrix, maybe Clapton, but there are honestly a lot of decent answers. All depending on what kind of music you listen to. For example, maybe not a conventional answer, but I think that Tommy Emanuel is one of the most skilled guitarists, if you are looking at acoustic fingerstyle. But I know he definitely wouldn't have been the answer.
Have the AIAIAI wireless+. Can confirm awesome. Gain staging is a little weird with them but they’re absolutely worth the money if you regularly use headphones.
@ClickOnProfile7 Nope, only scams
Pink Floyd's Time has the line: 'and then one day you'll find, 10 years have got behind you'.
Nothing new here.
And I just bought 3 pairs of wired headphones... You don't know how many times I've longed to play the maracas while rolling around the room while wearing headphones!!! Brought tears to my eyes...
Well now you can 😂
I rarely comment on youtube videos, but I just wanted to say this was fun and refreshing excursion from the typical youtuber guitarist type of vid.
any other production folks realize he dubbed his voice for some of the interviews? fire video.
“What’s that thing that picks up under the guitar?” Classic 😂
Gen Z and I knew all of these, but then again I do play guitar
3:02 LOL it's an output jack.
Ah man! Am I too late to enter to win the headphones? Not seeing any other link besides the link to the store page. Charlie Browned again!!! Oh well, I checked out the link anyway. They do look pretty sweet, but not in my current budget unfortunately. Will keep that bookmarked for when I'm ready and able to upgrade tho. \m/
Do more of this please!!!
I hope Rick Beato watches this one. I think he'd enjoy it. I found the results a bit surprising, too.
As a gen-z guitarist I love seeing people who know at least the same stuff I do: (which I’ll admit is like the bridge between 20th and 21st century rock and country music)
When will the winner of the giveaway be announced?
