Thats sad

You're not alone.

you must be a salamander

That’s unusual but ok

Only 9? You're doing way better than me 😂

Dude^

Glad you found this helpful :)

Theres only 14 as of now :/

It was a recognizable A minor, 'cuz i got all of them except "I could have Lied"

One of the few I got lol.

@@jsalvatori for I could have lied, i knew it was a RHCP song, i just couldn't think of the name

I thought everyone knew it was a cover, boy was I wrong I even found one person that thought the NIN version was a cover

@@cadezcardz1256 yea it's crazy, I get that Jhonny Cash made it super well known but I feel like it was never mentioned that NIN was the original created

I know it as a NIN song. I don't even like the Jonny Cash version

He pulled a full Jimi Hendrix with that one

It was Rick Rubin who showed Cash that song. Cash dident think it was his style. But he made it his own.

I'd say that's kind of sad but maybe it's good that there's a lot of good music out there that you can discover in the future. I'm guessing most musically inclined people over 30 would recognize at least 7-10 of these. There's a couple relatively obscure RHCP songs that most people probably wouldn't guess.

@@lightfeather9953 I am on the younger side (21). I do love rock and all but Im too young for these or just an uncultured swine.

I'd say that's surprising but pretty much everything is around 20 years old or older so that's fair

@filaaa !! I mean I played lots of guitar hero and listened to lots of rock and such back then. Eventually I got into playing real guitar 11 years ago I'm ok at it.

I love rock but I'm more inclined towards 2000s pop punk so idk these songs

Yeah, you're right on that. How can you say "recognizable acoustic intros" and not include even one Simon and Garfunkel or James Taylor song? How about "Falling In Out of Love With You" by Pure Prairie League? "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty? "Time in a Bottle" from Jim Croce? "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles? Those are instantly recognizable. Instantly recognizable to me means pretty much mainstream. I listen to a lot of different music, but I have to admit most of these were instantly unrecognizable to me. An even better title would be, "14 Acoustic Guitar Intros I Love."

That's a fair point. But with this type of videos I try to be careful with the copyright thing. One riff can block the whole video

@@nikolagugoski, I know. RU-vid's copyright strikes are a killer. It's almost as if no one has ever heard of fair use! Rick Beato has an entire video where he talks about how difficult it can be to teach and talk about music when you can't play the content on your channel.

@@VintageGold I was in radio for years and we always go flack from record companies and licensing agencies when we used various cuts behind commercials. What they didn't realize, and still don't, is that hearing the song allows people to be exposed to it, get curious about it, and possibly purchase it, which is the whole point. I would regularly get calls on the request line from people wanting to know the name of the track behind a commercial. The point in my comment is that these intros are not that recognizable, so the title of the video is misleading. However, I am now curious to hear some of these songs. 🙂

@@nikolagugoski gotta love youtube

Not yet

They’re covers though

@@Turnaround72 Covers are strikable how do you not know this.

@@albinospino3089 alright settle down mate didn’t know that’s all

@@Turnaround72 settle down? I was just asking...?

And mine was Fade to Black

Check out the Max Bassani arrangement. You can find it on YT. Guitar only, but just beautiful.

While this is true that was the tab for the Johnny Cash version

@@seilorks6610 He showed the tabs for the Nirvana cover of Man Who Sold the World when it was written by David Bowie

because the NIN original isn't an acoustic guitar intro

@@lightfeather9953 you're joking, right? It's literally an acoustic guitar

Let's be honest, Johnny Cash now owns that song.

Those + the man who sold world and Hurt for me.

he didnt even put down NIN for Hurt, at least he credited David Bowie for the original for the Man Who Sold The World

@@tristanraine Ohhhhh alright, thanks for pointing that out!

In all fairness the hurt one kinda makes sense since it was the Johnny cash cover

who knows? Not me.

One of them killed himself, the other got a Nobel prize. So don't complain Dave. Sorry, not sorry. The man who sold the World was made popular by Nirvana, period.

😂😂So true

Hahaha 😂 I think most of the people watching are rhcp fans, so I have to keep them here somehow 😁

I don't understand how the RHCP "instantly recognizable" song wasn't Under the Bridge.

It’s not acoustic

it worked for me lmfao

I could have lied is the first song I learned I was surprised and happy to hear it on here

Maybe...

Thank you! Glad you liked it 😁

I thought it was Why Georgia

The first two chords he hit made it sound like Still Counting by Volbeat, but the moment he continues it's lost. Ugh. Lol.

Not acoustic I guess

@@TheWJimi yes, they are acoustic

@@gergelystechnicmodels8565 then I'm all out of ideas 🤷🏽‍♂️

Didnt want the hassle of his video flagged or taken down by the crybaby record lawyers who dont understand internet videos and point of covers and lessons. That would be my guess

Copyright issues

Hey, at least you gave it a try! Cheers…JT

Thank you for watching!

Jajajja yea

Eagles are notorious for removing any covers or tabs for copyright infringment even if its just the guitar or players own version of one of their songs

@@johnsmith-jd1cd aren't covers expressly permitted by copyright, though?

We can give you “partial” credit! Cheers…JT

it was originally by nine inch nails but johnny cash covered it, he played the johnny cash version

@@griffinxk5764 yeah no fucken duh. But if you're doing a guess the song in 1 second and you start on the wrong chord in the form of a cover I mean talk about no chance my guy. Also if you wanna get technical the tunning for the cover is also different.

I only got hurt

Yeah because smells like teen spirit is such a classic acoustic song

But he played the jonny cash version

i thought the same thing

Yeah but Johnny's is play a bit different he played Johnny's version

That's great man!

@@nikolagugoski Wow you answer me !!!!!

Thanks for watching 🙏

That's great man! Glad you liked it

@@nikolagugoski it's easy when such a great player makes them sound exactly like the originals ✌

All of them would get me in copyright trouble 😁

You're welcome son

same lol

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it
