I did a video of Soundgarden riffs a couple of years ago, but I wanted to have another go at it as I've had some different guitars since then. Also these riffs will never not be fun and cool to play.

Kim Thayil is a beast and super underrated. Really Sabbath sounding licks - and of course, RIP Chris Cornell

Massively underrated. Along with Larry Lalonde

@rbnh9827 2 ай бұрын

Great player. But Chris wrote 11/17 riffs played on this video. But I love Kim’s guitar playing and that unmistakable eastern touch.

@rbnh9827 2 ай бұрын

11 riffs written/co-written by Chris, 2 by Matt, 2 by Ben and 5 by Kim. It’s time that people start paying respect to Chris as a riff writing machine that he was. People unknowingly credit Kim with most of the riffs and songwriting but whole band, especially Chris deserves all the Flowers.

@matthewdavidklein 2 ай бұрын

Exactly. Kim is awesome, but the overwhelming majority of Soundgarden’s iconic riffs were written by Chris. Chris was quietly a badass guitar player.

4th Of July is also really good. Probably one of the heaviest riffs I've ever listened too.

Soundgarden have a special place in my heart, this mix of heavy Black Sabbath-ness and weird riffs/solos. Cool that you included Been Away, I never heard anybody praise their final record but I still think it has some good tracks and still captures the unique Soundgarden weirdness.

Kim and Chris came up with so many killer riffs and used a lot of weird tunings you wouldn’t expect to hear in a rock band but made it work so well, I’m honestly surprised that 4th of July didn’t make it on here either since that’s definitely one of their best riffs imo but I also understand that you’re always gonna miss some. Great job as always, man

I'm not a Les Paul guy but I daydreamed either today or yesterday about how fucking COOL it would look to play Soundgarden riffs on a black Les Paul. The answer? VERY fucking cool!! Btw!

Great video as always, even if I don't really know Soubdgarden. By the way, have you done a video on Muse riffs? I seem to remember seeing one a long time ago but I can't find it, so I'm probably mistaken. (You can take that as a request lol)

@bloxsy_ 2 ай бұрын

I never did one for Muse, it would be quite interesting to do as I don't really know many Muse songs. Could broaden my horizons a bit. Any particular favourites?

@user-pz4su9fi9r 2 ай бұрын

@@bloxsy_ I think the two most recognisable Muse riffs would be "Plug in Baby" and the bass riff off "Hysteria". Their strongest riffs IMO are off the albums The 2nd Law and Drones, but hidden gems can be found from "Sober" to "Kill or Be Killed". I can get back to you with something more substantial after I give them a listen to jog my memory; I'm currently mired in Feeder and Nothing but Thieves (as well as some guilty pleasures) lol Edit: contrast is beautiful, and "Panic Station" contrasts well with, I don't know, "Unintended". Or anything, really. "Panic Station" is so 2012, "funk-inspired", sassy stuff. I love it.
