25 pop songs from the 2010s with ACTUAL COOL GUITAR 

Fun fact: This video was filmed on my phone (Galaxy S9)

I can’t decide if you’re 17 or 27

2:19 you may think that pick merely left the shot, but it actually left the universe entirely.

2010's: the decade when strumming became illegal

'"songs that u can actually play at parties"

the people who don't know these songs are gonna be so confused when they search them up

Electric guitar needs to be popular again. Seriously.

Why is nobody talking about how he renamed some of the song titles and artists, lmaooo

Who saw the pick drop at 2:19 tho

You can tell which artists he doesn’t have respect for by how he spelled their names lol

Chainsmokers? Nah dude, I prefer The Cigarette Smokers.

“Don’t let me down by the cigarette smokers”🤣🤣🤣

Petition for Brandon to rename his channel to: Brandeon. Instead of Brandon D'Eon

i love that song “send my nudes” by adele and love yourself by justen cheaper 😍

Hi Brandon. I'm a 65 yr old jazz guitarist who has been a teacher and performer all my adult life. I have had to retire early due to several serious health issues. You've done a great job of getting the reality out there on what it takes just to be ok or better in the music world. Your time into this is very obvious to me and just wanted to say "hi" and wish you continued success. The angry guitar guy works in my opinion since it's done in a tongue in cheek fashion. Keep it up. Happy everything !

The only thing I don’t really like about most of these songs is that, although they are some pretty cool guitar parts, they just loop that same guitar part over and over in a lot of them to the point that they just feel boring and uninspired. Great playing though, and awesome video my dude

It's kind of sad that Coldplay is on a "actual cool guitar" list when they used to be very instrumental and have an amazing guitarist.

you're the first guitarist that i have seen with beautiful fingers and nails on youtube

This should be named 'how to move a capo without going out of tune"

The artist and song names were on point 👍🏽👌🏽

translation: 25 songs to cover at pubs and make stacks

were no strangers to love

4:20 You can thank Jonny Buckland for that amazing little riff :)

2:18 Welp he's never finding that pick

2:33 Is it just me or does this sound like welcome to the black parade?

T swifto

Great video Brandon. Your talent, love of music and love of guitar is obvious. Best wishes going ahead with you tube and your course/lessons. Cheers.

I flipping LOVE the “This Girl” guitar riff. It fits the song perfectly.

“The cigarette smokers” lmao Juston beaver

I thought this all would be John Mayer’s songs.

“Still feel like your man” should’ve been on here...

I wish my fingers where that long

4:21 had me celebrating! Love Coldplay.

3:13 Oh yeah I love Bruno Cars too 😂

I saw the title, and thought, "He's gonna have to rush these". Then you started talking before playing and I was sure it was going to be hard to pull off 25 songs in 6 minutes. Then you're done before 5 minutes, and it didn't feel rushed at all.

“Don’t call me if ur poor”

This really shows how talented of a guitarist he is

If Hayden Christensen played guitar this is what he would look like

This is literally a list of my favorite pop songs from the 2010s. You can always here a sick riff shine through 🎸🔥

Get lucky with the legend Nile Rogers:(

2:49 "Juston Beaver"

I just want to add that many Japanese Pop Rock songs from the 2010s also got great guitar lines

So cool that you chose Bloom. That song made me get into finger picking and helped me write my first song.

🤣🤣 'Juston beaver' , 'The Cigarette Smokers' , 'Selena Gopher', 'Bruno Cars', and 'Justen Cheaper'

so many of these songs have become some of my favourite songs and this video has helped me realise that i tend to consider a song to be good as soon as it has a groovy fuckin guitar riff

Did frusciante made all this riffs in secret?

I love your music don't stop playing your amazing at it. 💖💖

Haha, the look you gave when your capo fell to the floor!

thanks for giving me new ideas for my playlist

Shape of my heart is probably one of my all time favourites to play

First time I have heard 'Bloom' by the Paper Kites in a video like this - was very glad to see it featured :)

he’s like a younger, guitarist davie504 in a way lol

that guitar is a beauty

Lucid dreams is actually a shape of my heart by sting

2:19 i love how he just dropped the pick and start picking with his fingers

I'm such a cardiovascular wHore. the veins on his arms had me 😳

Quick tip for you, bro! Place the mic pointed to the 12th fret, the bass and the treble will be better balanced! Great video

You have chosen well, sir....but you left out Of Monsters and Men and Bon Iver...and Mumford & Sons who basically sparked the whole indie Folk pop scene.

I like that he didnt change the name of Wake Me Up or his name. R.I.P. AVICII

Pop songs: *exist* Capo: Allow me to introduce myself

2000-2019...The golden era of pop

"The Cigarette Smokers"

The song title and artist changes are the real star of this video

Some people just have “it” and let me tell you this guy has “it” big time. I would kill to have his hair

Lad, I wish I had half the talent you have! Keep it up mate!! Big up from the UK

friendly reminder that daft punk was putting funk licks in pop music 20 years ago, but the world only now caught up with it.

1:14 YES WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

I think my guitar experience would change drastically if I had an electric guitar

Thanks for the tips. I'm a teacher and, honestly, an older guy and not so hip with what's popular any more. Sometimes I struggle to come up with good modern material to teach kids, this list helps a lot.

I love it, but I’m really not digging the GarageBand drum sounds lmaoo... trust me, those samples are burnt in my memory. But this is still incredible. Subscribed instantly

When the first song was let her go I was like YESSSSS

"pop songs" ... I know almost none, miss rock

God I love the sound of guitar

I don't think you ever made a video without your X ring, making Nova Scotia proud :D

Oh man...Shape of my Heart...love it

thinking 2013 wasn't too long ago then realized it's 2020 already

I really felt nostalgic listening you play and remember all the popular song we listened until we had enough

LMAO “T Swifto” “The cigarette smokers” 😭😭

Actually the guitar in “Attention” is a one shot sample that puth used a stereo shaper on and made with midi, he talks about it in the production interview.

03:28 his face reminded me of Ross playing the keyboard 😂

This video summed up nostalgia for me

I only realised at “Juston beaver” that the names were messed up and I had to go back to the start and actually pay attention to what he wrote lmaoo

Him dropping his capo hit different

oh that explains how I actually enjoyed these

I love that you did Bloom

Finally someone who appreciates the Prayer In C guitar :D

The pick you threw on the floor will never be seen again

never mind this is just for me later :) 0:49 say you won’t let go 1:15 we are never getting back together 2:05 this girl 2:15 waves 2:45 cold water 3:14 treasure 4:31 pumped up kicks

Love that hair, oh and also the guitar playing ;)

The fact that this doesn't have the Devil in a new dress solo is a travesty

That transition from This Girl to Waves was probably the most satisfying thing i've ever seen

I came here to find songs I wanna learn, why you telling me to leave? :(

Bloom is legit one of my fave songs to chill and play. Super satisfying

I've got a problem. I can't play with no pick, it just doesn't work. Could you give me some tips how can I get better with fingerstyle

These songs bring back so much nostalgia❗️

“Justin Beaver” lol

arghhh so much nostalgia even though that wasn’t that long ago
