7 Famous Riffs That Make You a Better Guitarist | Spark MINI 

Sounds like Slash with sweet child o mine

Great riff. Great song. 👍

Everyone knows this. Glad you do too!

I’m not even joking I opened up the comment section getting ready to say exactly what you said😂

The inside picking on the double stop for the 3rd and 4th notes as well as the maneuvers on the low E always make for a good warm up. Couldn't agree more!

That's a great one. Another one I've tried using is that early riff from Master of Puppets, whatever it's called (pre-verse?). Anyway, I try to play that lick up and down the neck and on higher strings. Feels kind of awkward but it does help loosen up the fingers.

Ditto Over The Mountain.

Same with me too for me it helps my finger cordanation

same also eruption solo it really gets the fingers warm.

Crazy Train is an excellent warmup. It was my first introduction to Inversions, back when nobody even knew what an Inversion was. It uses all three 2nd through 4th string Inversions, with a freakin' bass pedal note to top it off. That alone is a good warmup. And then the pulloff sequence by itself is a good warmup. But the speed and precision that you have to have to play it right really brings the warmup all together. The opening Riff is a warmup. The descending Inversions (with the pedal bass note) is a warmup. And the 3 string pulloff sequence is a warmup. Plus, it's catchy as hell. It's a great song. So it's hard to ask for a better exercise.

and Castle made of sand too

Especially the one by SRV, although I obviously like Hendrix’s version more

@@4wardfr3ak23 SRV’s version is far superior imo

@@xealzy944 it’s great, but I find it a little bit off without the lyrics

Repent to Jesus Christ “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:2-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ K

Just A Beaver cough cough

I wanted to say that but Ed Sheeran made this so it still works. Just change "Love Urself" with "F*** Urself"

@@CongealedMilk yes! That series needs another Episode!

@@bentonchiez i meant justin bieber, i just was making fun of his name?

Didn’t realize I was replying to you. I found that hilarious. But I was replying about the Legendary Licks series

the first song I learned was seek and destroy, so much fun to play aswell

Kill 'Em all is about the only songs I know. It's all I need to know ;)

I use jump in the fire to warm up

When i started, i decided to just learn all of kill em all. And it was very good for me, it taught me awesome easy and hard techniques, taught me to be precise, clean, and tight.

December was one of the first things I learned when I started!!

People that don’t play guitar don’t care if you can play neon. People that do play care more lol

@@shankrl1 People that don't play guitar are only impressed by basic chords *cough wonderwall cough* and by shredding lol

How do you feel about the speaker? I've heard people say the speaker is pretty bad but I'm not sure if changing the speaker would be worth it or make much of a difference.

@@MugenHeadNinja the speaker is actually really good at filling out a room despite it being smaller than usual amps. New tones are still being updated. Pretty portable. Also there is a smaller spark amp (mini) now and I bet it’s not bad for it’s price.

I totally agree, but I understand there's always more we can learn...🤔😯👍🎶🎸

The Spark rules. Every guitarist should own one.

I'm a beginner with the regular Spark and love mine, it's so fun to play riffs from all different genres and not have to buy dozens of pedals. I just riff around on it all day while working from home

Here's a great trick for locking in your internal tempo: Set the metronome to half the speed you want to play, and let it be "2 and 4." You have to find 1 and 3 on your own. This forces you to groove; you basically make the metronome's pulse into the backbeat snare drum. Start by playing scales to it, and then try some rhythm lines. And don't forget your triplets and shuffle/swing grooves. (You can, of course, program a drum machine with just a snare hit on 2 and 4, also.) Have fun!

And she screamed Claudio Oh! Dear Claudio oohh!

Stoked to see another one among the fence in this comment section!

The dudes are really good but if your gonna use a song for improving your playing the last thing in the world I would recommend using is a band that uses b standard, 7 strings, or drop c...that's just gonna screw them up more...

Bliss intro lick can be a good sweep picking practice

battery is definitely the riff i always play when i pick up a guitar

Scar tissue needs you to detune one of your strings (B if I remember) to be played right. That's per Paul Davids, not me lol

Yeah you shouldn't confess that sort of things 😂

@@HeadbangoO why shouldn’t they confess that? It’s a great song

@@HeadbangoO man, talk about projecting insecurity.

@@kaatheconstrictor Who would feel insecure between an oracle, Bruce Willis and a psychiatrist...?

Have you tackled is there anybody out there? Its a good one for fingerpicking. Good bye blue sky as well.

Nice last name😎

If you mic something up it’s like putting your ear on the speaker, of course it’s gonna sound massive, the RU-vid guitarists have never understood that if you want a “real” sound you need the room

@@ciggy_ Thanks. And I get that, but was really just asking about the quality of the sound, whether he did a bunch of processing in post or not

@@hunterstevens1160 yeah sry for sounding like an ass, this subject has been on my mind for so long and I guess I needed an outlet hahaha I think that these kind of modeling Amps really are made to sound more like a recorded guitar rather than a real amp, if that makes sense, so I think the it isn’t post processed, more like pre processed I guess?
