Look at Operator, I Got a Name (My fav song of all time) and so many others, they were an amazing duo on acoustic. I'd love to see some break downs of their music.

I mean his videos are quite a bit of musical gate-keeping and maintaining of the status quo. His channel is called MusicIsWin, but he exclusively talks about guitar music for Straight-White dudes. I mean I'm a straight white dude who plays guitar too, there's nothing wrong with making a youtube music channel geared towards mainstream guitar-centric music. His EVERYONE needs to know videos almost exclusively fall in the Metal/Classic Rock camp. For people who play alternative, jazz, punk, funk, world and indie it's frustrating seeing the same riffs, same top 10 greatest guitarists being heralded. It kind of sends to message that the only music of merit for that last 60 years has been the stuff featured on the cover of Rolling Stone or Guitar World. Compare that to Adam Neely and Paul Davids, who don't declare themselves the "Music Man" yet they explore an array of genres and styles, and avoid the gate-keeping of statements. Such statements like "Everyone needs to know how to play Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here" or "Metallica is required learning for ANY guitar player", instead of say "I recommend Pink Floyd's wish you were here because it's great for beginners because it 's a great transition point between playing straight chords, and adding lines between". are really indicative of the elitist bent. With this channel everything's the GREATEST ever, and not coming from a place of personal opinion or holistic love of music. I'll concede part of that boils down to his own personal taste. in one video he'd never even heard of 'This Charming Man'., an incredibly popular indie classic. His then attitude about the song was to learn 80% of the song by ear, and then shit talk it. Famously, there is a video of Steve Vai talking about how much he struggles with This Charming Man, and he's among the most technically proficient guitarists on earth. So for OP to learn a nuance-free version of the song, then write it off when Steve Vai says it's tough, is unbelievably arrogant. Just cause it's not your thing doesn't mean it doesn't have merit. The other part of the frustrating format is just business. People are less likely to click on a video titled '10 Classic Rock riffs that will develop your technique', then 'GREATEST RIFFS EVER'. As well they're more likely to stick around when you give the masses what they want. Look at those *whispers quietly so the nerds don't hear me* mediocre Marvel movies, it's pure fan service. That's just capitalism baby. He certainly wouldn't be making the living off of KZfaq he currently is if he went off the beaten path, started doing videos breaking down Can and Televison riffs. If this channel doesn't scratch your itch I'd recommend: For Jazz: Jens Larsen, Troye Sivan For Indie: Anyone Can Play Guitar, Spin's 100 Greatest Guitarist list, Gemini Guitar

You get top marks for listing Ten Years After "I'd Love To Change The World". I was a big Alvin Lee fan back in the '70s and I agree with you totally---- it's a beautiful song, and Alvin's electric solo is truly one of the most beautiful ever recorded. For some reason it's not as well known as it should be, but it stands up as great as ever all these years later.

I'm much older that you, and therefore love a lot of 60's and 70's stuff. Love the fact that you played Classical Gas and Ten Years After, "I'd Love to Change the World". Listened to them both on 8 track! There are tons you could include here, but a couple of my favorites are ELP's (Greg Lake) "From the Beginning" and a kind of one hit wonder, Mason Profit and "Two Hangmen". Great stuff and keep up the good work!

I loved your list, thank you for sharing and providing new goals! ♥️ If you do a part 2, could you add "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas (my favourite right now) and/or "Stop this Train" by John Mayer? With "Mediterranean Sundance" you can see how much posture, guitar position, and the thumb behind the neck matter re "classical" pieces like this. Sitting up straight and left knee heightened to angle the guitar neck make a lot of of difference for the poor stretched hand. I started with classical nylon guitar, I still play classical pieces like this to relieve the hand hand give it more room.

Thank you very good vid. Love the TD PICK that will be a must for me.

@rockyourworld5374 2 жыл бұрын

I guess as a guitarist these are rewarding to play. However, playing with someone else or a band and an audience. I want for anyone to be familiar with the song. Because to play to yourself is fun. But others can contribute to who you are as a musician. So recognisable songs with some cool rifs definately need be in a top ten. So others can feel that they are a part and can contribute to the music.

I'm not sure I can pick just one...in no particular order: "Drive" by Incubus. (This was the song my sister told me I needed to learn to play like the week I started playing guitar. Talk about intimidating then, but now I find it a really fun song to play. ) "Big Love" by Lindsey Buckingham "The Heart of Life" by John Mayer "Bella" by Jack Johnson "The General" by Dispatch "Don't Wait Too Long" by Madeleine Peyroux "The Hand Song" by Nickel Creek "The Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists

Been Playing acoustic guitar exclusively for over 50 years. Bands, Solo, etc... Never been asked to play any of these songs in any gig ever. Tho, I have played Classical Gas because I just like to, lol. Hotel California, Tears From Heaven, Dust in the Wind, Landslide, Stairway to Heaven, James Taylor, CSNY, John Denver, etc...etc.. These are what people ask for during gigs, specifically when they see an acoustic guitar. Over and over and over. Now, they might not be yours, or my, favorites...but, that's what people ask for. They've been asking for these same songs for decades now...and are still asked for pretty much every gig. Which probably means that's what Acoustic guitarists "should know" how to play them, right? I mean, if you want to satisfy your audience requests anyway. Again, they may not be the ones you want to play, or are the most fun to play. But, that kinda depends on your age, ability, and your own personal preferences. I'm just telling you what people ask for from acoustic guitarists the most.
