Top 10 'Britpop' Riffs

If I did a video on guitar music in the '90s it would be a huge task because of how much there was of it. As well as all the stuff that was going in in America, there was a whole other scene in Great Britain with the likes of Suede, Blur and Oasis. I'm not sure if these bands faired quite as well in the U.S and overseas but they were massive here. Here are 10 of the best, but I could have done plenty more. Feel free to disagree! Also, if you feel like leaving a 'super thanks' donation to help the channel (shown at the bottom of the screen), it would help me out a lot. Cheers!

@@elwray3506 no, it was Richard’s, Bernard left the band before the previous album was completed. What I find incredible is that Richard was 17-18 years old and managed to pull out that album which has incredible guitars from beginning to end

There were lots of great Britpop guitarists, but I agree Graham was right up there, probably the most inventive and original. The others for me were Adam Devlin (Bluetones), Kenwyn House (Reef) and Bernard Butler (Suede). John Squire too, but his best work was in the 80's.
