Can't forget that the complete god Matt Bellamy who plays these riffs also plays them while singing flawlessly, running around, swinging the guitar around while 90% of the time not even looking at the guitar. The man isn't human I swear.
and playing classical piano while singing
Tons of practice.
Years of practice
@@heavensdoor844 Metric fucktons.
Saw them live and muse isnt even a top 5 favorite band before that and their live show was so amazing. I had a smile on my face the entire time like a little kid. Best concert ive ever seen and made me appreciate every ounce of their music so much more and now i find my self obsessively listening to their discography.

Thanks homie!
Im play button plug in baby...btw tq
The handler is such as tunneeee
I love your profile photo
Matt Bellamy is #1 riff maker of his generation, almost every song has a killer riff just incredible
Don't forget his magestic voice
John Mayer is pretty good too
Josh Homme is godlike as well.
Don't forget he's a fully fledged composer too, making a 3 part concerto with over 15 different instruments... the mans a genius.
Give some credit to Chris. The bass is insane
Stockholm is such a monster riff with those effects
Ross I was thinking the exact same thing. Holy shit it’s sick
Sounded insanely good
Sounds freaking awesome lml
Sounds like it's mainly a flanger
CSCalebPlays and wah. Can’t forget the wah.
0:45 your AAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS BELONGS TO ME NOW
Ehehehe boi
Wouldn't say no to Matt on that one though.
I'm gonna make you, I'm gonna break you, I'm gonna make you A FUCKING PSYCHO
💃💃💃
Do you mean your “supermassive black hole” belongs to me now
The reapers riff is so underrated
Right? It’s so insane
@Macc Attacc I don't think he means the opening solo. The chorus riff is very underrated, that I agree with (The palm muted part
@Macc Attacc i think you're only saying that because it has tapping in it.
Been learning the bass part to that song. Such a killer bassline, and it's written in drop d which just sounds so heavy, it's so fucking badass
It’s just so fucking good song too
You can't simply made a top 10 songs of Muse
there are too much riffs that would fit in
MCsnaggots agree, newborn is not even here
Not enough numbers
You cant make a top 10 with out knights of cydonia
he did it
Gotta love Muse
😍
I would if his voice wasn’t so unbearable
@@Tombrosapien It's one of those love it or hate it voices
Debatable
@Tombro lol
Matt Bellamy is one of the most unique guitarists to date, man, the stuff he comes up with is just insane and he's definitely one of my favourites
AND... a GREAT vocalist bro boot!!!
The fact that Matt played some of these live while singing will always amaze me
Check out Plug In Baby in Rome. He runs as well
this video made me want to buy an electric guitar and learn every single one of those riffs
That's the spirit! Do it! The World NEEDS more songs with riffs!
OMG I thought I was the only one!!! I'd literally never get bored of playing them if I had the chance
Do it bro!
I want to do it as well, but I don’t know if I should buy an electro acoustic guitar first before an electric :((
@@ashleyurbina1055 that depends on what you want to play
Is it me or is Unnatural Selection a massively underrated song?
yep I couldn't agree more, it gets so overshadowed by uprising
@@connerstewart7155 Uprising sucks
@@kblgzzvds9339 It doesn't suck. It's a great song. muse just has about 20 other songs that are better than it
The first song that really catched my attention when I was beginning to listen to Muse
literally my fav muse song
I'm ashamed to say I've never listened to Muse but this riffs are brilliant, thank you for opening my ears.
You should listen approximately ALL Muse songs this is... You will discover an universe of good melodies
I think you’ll find Muse is a very awesome band, if concerts ever return to their former glory, definitely try and see Muse, one of, if not the best concert I’ve ever been to
2 months later, im curious to hear your opinions 👀
You’ll have an eargasm.
Jordan, sir, what say you now about their music?
*Muse : The most complete, unique and multi talented band in the world. You can hear a lot of music genres from Classics, Pop, Disco, Techno to Rock.*
We call those all rounders
LP yo
@@hangnadim6395 not
Metal?
Davi Gomes assassin by muse seems quite metal i think
Fuck now I need to listen to Muse again
I’m just gonna speak for everybody and say you forgot every muse song that has guitar in it. Almost every one of their songs has a killer riff and it’s nearly impossible to narrow it down to a top 10. This was a very well done video and the inclusion of unnatural selection was awesome. I feel like it’s a very overlooked song. Nice job man.
Unnatural selection is so underrated but it has the best lyrics among all muse songs.
Tbh we forgot the guitar was there because be bassist was killer.
Oooooooooooooooooooosheuhhhhn
Yes. Minimum Top 20.
The Handler rift is so legendary!!!
Wanted to reply you so you get reminded of this comment again
Absolutely my favorite riff of theirs
I have this video to thank for getting me into Muse. I had only ever heard Madness from the Second Law album and assumed that’s what all their songs sounded like. Heard these riffs, listened to all their music, and now they’re my absolute favorite of all time.
A lot of people are afraid to get into Muse because they have a false opinion about the style or the genre that Muse are..
Miracle Right! I love hearing them experiment with so many different styles and genres. It’s a nice break from the usual “same edgy song but in a different key and different words” that I see in a lot of other bands. They’re very creative and unafraid to explore their music styles, and I love it!
Still my favourite album to this day

I'm not exactly a dedicated headbanger, but this one... is inevitable...
SynysterBullett was reading the comments before I got to that point in the video and I think I know what song it is now

Ethan Harris hysteria's guitar riff isn't as good don't get me wrong the bass riff is amazing though. And reapers should be higher
what about thought contagion? it has the best base rifts I've heard in ages!
It says
Spoilers
I just love Supremacy
New Born should be here for suuuuuuure. The riff at the start when the calm vocals fade into that hardcore ... Dirty ass sounding riff. It's fucking beautiful
4:34 My favourite riff of all time
I cant describe how much I love and appreciate MUSE in general, Matt is a god!! That talent and that voice oh wow.. best voice I have ever heard in my life
As a young musician Muse and Matt Bellamy are my inspirations 🥰
You can’t convince me that this isn’t actually Matt Bellamy. These riffs were played incredibly well
Muse riffs are pretty easy. The hard part is getting their tone right.
@@timmyturner5864 Yeah I can play almost all of their stuff but Matt's tone is a very difficult one to get right. It's right up there with Deron Miller (CKY) in terms of being in a 'sweet spot'.
Gotta love that Unnatural Selection riff, impressive man!
You forget just how many incredible riffs that Matt Bellamy has produced and they are all so recognisable, well done, fantastic video this, really enjoyed it ! 👍🏻
Muse are so brilliant in their versatility and will to experiment. Love them so much.
One simply does not play guitar with that much skill
Except you Matt Bellamy
Gurpreet Kaur I don’t think Matt Bellamy is the best guitarist
@@drperkyreal4686 cause he simply sucks at gitar playing
Dark Jesy Lol what? He may not be the best by your standards which are useless by the way, but he is not by any means shit at playing guitar.
Matt’s such an underrated guitarist he does not get enough praise for what he does
i think you should do a 2nd part cause you are amazing at the guitar and also i would like to see new born ;)
Ins1ght Agreed. We need a part 2
Hey nice profile pic haha
Ins1ght do you like demon hunter? :"3
hablame en español jajajja, si me gusta, sino no me pondria la imagen que tengo

Muse has in my opinion opened up ways the guitar can be played.
You forgot about Citizen Erased!
Oh ! What a huge mistake :/
You can't make a top 10 list of muse, all of their songs are great
I was ok with everything but not adding Citizen Erased is a straight up crime
Mohammad Masoud Most of them of course 👍
Citizen Erased is such a massive riff. There's too much new stuff on this list. Also missed Knights of Cydonia, even The Small Print is better than half of these.
My Plug in BAYBEEEEH...Crucifies my HEART AND YO SOOOUUULL
Say10 Pug Crucifies my enemies*
lmao
Noah CHANE-SAM I thinj he was purposefully mixing plug in baby and hysteria
REAPERS AND THE HANDLERS gets me so excited! 😉 Now, where's the top BASS LINES?
Assassin, Knights of Cydonia, New Born, Exo-Politics? Its Okay, but don’t choose Knights of Cydonia is a crime!!!
Plinio Guzmán glad I'm not the only one shocked. Heheheh watched waiting new born and cydonia as a must.
It's HIS top ten riffs...
it would've been good to see In your world
Assassin and Citizen Erased in particular, they tiptoe alt-metal territory.
I think we all know Assassin and Knights of Cydonia will go in every top-10, so why state the obvious (IMO, and would apply to Plug in baby and Hysteria too)? For example, we all talk about Hysteria for bass a lot, but theres this one B-side, Easily that could go in too, as Crying Shame is for guitar.
I'm a bassist
and I think this is awesome
I love Muse
Wow... The Uprising Riff was just... Perfect man! I love this!
SPOILER LIST
1. Uprising
2. Psycho
3. Supermassive Black Hole
4. Unnatural Selection
5. Plugin Baby
6. Micro Cuts
7. Reapers
8. Hysteria
9. Stockholm Syndrome
10. The Handler
11. Supremacy
Why even put it down here, it's given in the video
Muse guitar solos are a thing of true beauty
solid choices. I will always be biased towards Origin of Symmetry especially Citizen Erased. They even played it on my birthday which either was a cool and weird coincidence or our group with signs worked. One thing that is super underated is sure Matt is insanely good at writing solid rock riffs but the rest of the band have an amazing fundamental knowledge which allows them to bring out the guitar nicely. It's like a recipe. Knowing what to add and when really brings out the focus. Micro cuts is an amazing example where partway in that riff the bass joins in and the drums play rhythm and focuses on the accents of the main riff. Super talented trio who have the smarts as well as the chops. Hysteria, Psycho, Plug In Baby, Hysteria are all amazing examples of this.
You made that look easy. We all know it's actually very technical. God knows how Matt Bellamy plays it live running around the stage.
Glad to be seeing Drones getting some love for once. Perhaps their best album since Black Holes?
@Jacob Rennells Honestly I would put even Simulation Theory above Drones. I only care about The Handler and Reapers out of that album but I respect your opinion
The Resistance is my fav album of theirs so I would definitely disagree. Drones however is still one heck of an album, especially the riffs
Best band of all time sorry
No don't be they are gods among us
NO, queen are the best band ever
@@danwells4088 queen are shit
@@barneyhull Okay...?
muse is probably the best band ever
edit: ok maybe not the best ever but still great lmao
Vigo Radewalt
... Queens Of The Stone Age...
nope, MUSE :D
LOOOOOOL!!! Good one!
Queens of the Stone age foo fighters and the black keys you little bitch
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. You losers have obviously never heard of this band: czcams.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/video.html
as incredible as they all are, I gotta say plug in baby has to be my favorite theres just something so legendary about it
New born
it's kinda similar to Unnatural Selection
Artur Henrique but it’s in a different key
@@arturhenrique5477 indeed, in fact, unnatural selection is similar to new born if you take in consideration when the songs were written
Hysteria has the best bas line ever!
As a Muse This was so fucking beautiful it made me wanna cry ...
Unnatural Selection gotta be one of my favourites, what a naughty little riff
The Groove is an amazing riff - and so much fun to play too .. great vid bro
Agree 100%
My favorite kind of muse-ic
Lmao
You having an amazing skill my friend. I love your camera angle and lighting, focusing on the guitar and your hands the way it does. My favorite riff was Reapers, with all those hammer ons!
That was sick mate, loved watching this. Your technique is really impressive. Good job man.
4:39 - 5:07 tell us EXACTLY what you are doing here! I need to know
SingForAbsolution 01 maybe some weird fuzz phaser or flanger and wah combination
Geo Killer that’s what I was thinking, most likely wah pedal > slight distortion > flanger. Also he seems to be controlling the flanger’s fluctuation as it goes up and down during perfect timings. He might have pre-set the flanger for the song or he has a MIDI in control.
Sounds like a Zvex Wah Probe to me.
A little trick called "playing the song in the background"
Sebastian Elytron From which performance? I don't recognise the timings as anything used by the band themselves. Also you can clearly see his knee moving as it would if operating a pedal, whereas the knee remains still for the majority rest of the video.
Como amo a MUSE!!
Just WOW!!! You play that riffs so well 🔝 amazing!🤩
Fantastic!! Love this, have added this to my favourite Muse playlist!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As someone who strictly loves Metal and only really listens to the hardest of it like Mathcore and Tech Death, I seriously find Muse to be by far the best "rock pop" band ever. They smash any other mainstream semi popular band. Some of these riffs are metal as fuck!! Plug In Baby is actually hard af to learn
Unnatural Selection is so underrated. They did a snip-it of it live when I saw them but they didn’t play the whole thing which bugged me so much
This is my semi formal introduction to Muse. Loving it. I’ll have to listen to them when I actually have enough time.
i love the way you play!
Thanks for your video!
Hysteria is one of my favorite songs, the whole song is incredible
What is your setup for Psycho? Your guitar sounds amazing
Shreya M Honestly you probably just need distortion and Drop D and you’ll be set. That’s what I play it with, and it sounds pretty accurate. But for the chords I have no clue what he used.
For the chords it's a wam pedal I'm pretty sure
It's drop d tuning I know that
THIS DUDE KILLED IT
The lighting is amazing
Is it bad I expected to hear Knights of Cydonia on here?
And newborn and the groove and minimum!
Yes that song is overrated
Muse melhor banda atual ...orgulho, rock de qualidade
Muse is invincible..Uma música melhor que a outra...quem concorda da um like aí..
Loved watching this gave me so much joy keep doing what ur doing man 🤙🏻
Muse, God of iconic riffs
The "Crying Shame Riff" should've been at the top of this list and we all know it.
Really like your list but id add new born and hyper music in there for sure.
nice work man. really LOVE IT!
Im so glad that so many songs from Drones made it onto this list. Its not my favorite album in terms of lyrics but it definitely has some of my all-time favorite riffs.
What about Assassin? Fury? O.o But another great video none the less, any chance of knowing the gear/equipment/programs you use yet:D?!
When he gets to Plug-in Baby at 2:32, it looks like half a flesh-coloured tarantula is crawling over the fret board...
Just 2 years late, but this was awesome dude!
Nailed these parts and tone. Great work. 🎉
I’m 15 years old and i went 2 times to a MUSE concert , (i got 2 shirts too) my first one was with 8 years old and i knew all the lyrics hahaha i
love MUSE
Nice vid XD, muse looks fun to play.
It is
This is fantastic!!! Thank you!
Man, this was amazing, thanks
Impressive *thumbs up*
I’m surprisingly happy to see titles from Drones here. That album was awesome and it didn’t get what it deserved.
The bass to all of these is epic too, I love playing them!
The riffs work so well because of the excellent rhythmic arrangement.
First one is a solo but thank so much for doing this vid! Subbed
GoldNinja Vlogspot A solo can still be a riff lol (or more accurately, a part of a solo)
It's a riff
It's like a riff, then solo and so on so forth
The main riff seems to focus a lot on the bass tbh
Yeah I understand why this one was chosen but it's still a solo IMO
please do deftones!!
Sick tone and great effort buddy boy!
THIS IS SO AMAZING. GOOD JOB!
Top 10 Tool, Killswitch Engage, Dream Theater, Motley Crüe, Motörhead Riffs
Could you do video on shinedown riffs? They have some great ones
Wow, dude, every guitar sound is so achieved! Amazing!
That's why Muse is so cool to listen to. There's always a lot of small incredible details
man, my guitar has been gathering dust and the favourite music of my teen years long since not listened to, just came across your channel and it's time for a relapse! Thank you :D
edit: also... Knights of Cydonia?? Muse's greatest riff!! Anyway great video xD
That's great! I'm really happy to read such comments. I'll try to keep doing great stuff for you
Tienes muchísimo talento
Awesome. Love trying to play their licks
Wow I just love Matt's note choices
