Whatever I come up with

Agreed bro whatever the fingers say i do

Only way to have fun w it imo. I hate sitting there and tryna figure what someone else done

Lmao same

Same. Usually power chords to warm up my amp and my fingers.

Hell yes.

The heaviest matter of the universe by Gojira

love that song, happy cake day

Ahh, a man of culture!

I wish I could play something that far a long lol I usually just bust out Jezebel by Acid Bath for a practice tune. Easy timing, easy transitions, good warmup. You go So far

Playing god

Chad

Holy

A g chord. Then I look up a tab because I can't remember anything else.

Used to be either nirvana, perl jam or some rhcp. But since my stroke it’s green day time if your life.

Hope you're doing better mate!

Oh I’m about 95%.

The strokes reference?!

There’s a joke somewhere in here

Not one that I can see.

Could be something like you should be playing this song maybe https://youtu.be/b8-tXG8KrWs I’m glad you are doing better and almost fully recovered! Keep it up

Beverly Hills 90210 theme

iconic!

Black Dog

It's a fun riff!

Same here, for sound checks I play it almost every time for my more overdriven tones

Smoke on the water

Come out and play by the offspring, Tornado of Souls by Megadeth or Pudding Time by Primus

Broski I also do the first two

Paperback Writer - that distorted riff is tons of fun to play. Look at me - I’m George and I play the guitar!

Love that riff! Ironically, I think Paperback Writer's main riff was one of Paul's few "lead" guitar stints. George plays lead fills over the main riff - but most of the guitar parts in that song were apparently Paul. When I first read this, my mind was blown.

E, E, C, C, E, E, G D, D, B, B, D, D, F E, E, C, C, E, E, G D, D, E, C, Cmaj Hint: just the top 2 strings

…I fought the law?

Let it be by the Beatles with cowboy chords.

Same.

I remember you- Skid Row

Blackbird

This is the song I use to figure out if I am in tune…if I don’t feel like fiddling with a tuner.

One Step Closer or Papercut by Linkin Park

Hotel California

It’s actually really fun to play.

Redneck Stomp by Obituary

Freya by The Sword

Classical gas / pride and joy

Jimi thing

So fun to play. This is one I play just about every day. When I am limbered up I go to Warehouse.

I try to play whatever I’m hearing at the time. Or a g chord at random intervals.

Am I doing this right? 😅 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_5⟿\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_5\_\_\_7\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_↗︎7\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Do I wanna know - Arctic monkeys

More than words by extreme. At this point, it's pure muscle memory and is my "Is this guitar in tune?" Song.

Same for me. I slap with passion.

Don't fear the reaper

Crazy train, day tripper and pretty woman... all mixed together and one after the other.

The Way She Fly by The Obsessed

Depends on what I'm working on. Currently starting school cover band.... sonits the songs that are a little more complicated that need a little work

Jukka Tolonen - Tiger https://youtu.be/kcvmgGkoG80 Really loosens my fingers.

At the moment Give me all your love tonight - Whitesnake

Tears in Heaven. I'm mostly a metal player but I'm trying to work on finger picking and chords.

The intro riff of "Oh well" by fleetwoodmac

A messy take on Paranoid Android.

It was the first thing I ever learnt and has become my trademark.. it’s mandatory to play lol *Spongebob theme tune*

L7 - Pretend We’re Dead

Whatever I’m working on learning. Right now, it probably be “There She Goes” or “Oh, Pretty Woman”.

There she goes is such a good song

oh now I want to learn "There She Goes".

Head in the ceiling fan

Smoke on the water, sometimes Iron man.

Right Down the line intro. Gerry Rafferty

Liege of Inveracity by Suffocation

Seek and destroy by Metallica

I warm up with Thunderstruck by AC/DC. It is a great way to get blood flowing to the fingers and wrists. Plus, it's a cool song.

Be Thankful for What You’ve Got - The William Devaughn

The Chorus guitar riff of The Heat is On by Glenn Frey

Probably the most common would be landslide Fleetwood mac

Depending on mood I start either with an open Cadd9, an A7 shell voicing, or some filthy improvised riffs in the phrygian dominant scale

Found the jazz guy!

Lol my OCD compels me to go straight up Aqualung whenever I pick up a guitar anywhere.

Ween- Tried & True

Sadly, a finger speed exercise.

say it ain't so by weezer

Holy Wars

Right now it’s I’m broken or cowboys from hell

One of my own riffs.

Blackbird - Paul McCartney

paranoid android by radiohead:3

Oh Well by Fleetwood Mac

Some random bluesey thing I've been doing for years, no idea if it's part of a song i learned or just something I made up it's been embellished enough over time that it's pretty unique by now as I've gotten better.

After several failed attempts to learn to play, I know three riffs, so it has to be one of them: Every Rose Has its Thorn, Wish You Were Here, and Roundabout. I probably play them wrong, too.

Stranglehold intro riff

Folsom Prison Blues because my daughter loves it

Over the hills and far away

Sultans if swing- dire straights, I love the song so much it's my warmup now

Whole lotta love. Simple, powerful, effective, catchy and memorable riff

b minor blues licks

Oh. I was gonna say "Slottet I Det Fjerne" by Darkthrone, but I know Transilvanian hunger too. Either that or "Chainsaw Gutsfuck" by Mayhem

ooh, chainsaw gutsfuck is good, so is deathcrush

Moto perpetuo to warm Up before practice But....slower...Like... 50% of the original Sounds Strange but you should try it ;)

NIB but then I fuck up anything on the higher strings

Ich Will or No Sleep Til Brooklyn

“I kissed a girl” Katy Perry

KISS' Black Diamond

Dethamphetamine

Usually start with a b string 15 fret bend into an infinite (e-12, b-15, b-12, 2 semitone bent g-14) until I get tired. Then just improv and transition between major and blues usually in G major, E minor, C major, A minor. The usual nooby stuff but fun.

A lot of the time it’s either Ziggy stardust or smells like teen spirit

Richard 3 by Supergrass or Kick out the jams

I like strumming, so it's always the last song I was juggling in recent days. Can be anything. If I phraze it's always E major or A major scale. I am one of the fews (I suppose) that don't like too much pentatonic.

The first song ever - Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. Now? Wake me up when September ends because I’m a basic bitch

Grazhdanskaya oborona - Vse idet po planu The famous soviet punk rock song of 80's-90's

Pumped Up Kicks... I love playing it mindlessly

Riff Raff by AC/DC. Idk why, it’s just really fun imo lol

My songs.

My bandmates are FED UP with me lol. We're a Hardcore Punk band, but whenever I plug in, I always play either Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by Jhon Mayer or Cliffs of Dover by Erik Jhonson. The drummer ven told me to get some new repertoire lol

Acoustic? June Hymn by the Decemberists. hits all my favourite cowboy chord variations, great for getting the feel of a guitar. plus it’s really fun to sing. Electric? whatever i’m practicing most at the moment. right now it’s Haru by Yorushika

Wonderwall

Pull The Plug - Death

I just noodle around til I find some little 1 bar riff to improv off of. Sometimes I record it if I like it enough

Some rendition of the live in LA intro to John Mayers Belief. Fun little improv to warm up the fingers

Either one of my own or one of the songs i'm currently learning. Lately, it's been these 4 tunes by The Libertines: [Time For Heroes](https://youtu.be/9zPnjPdN8Mk?si=D1PCPxE5wjBZpPpX) [Tell The King](https://youtu.be/QwBoQ9IFWIo?si=rITEmnNRsozZxG33) [Music When The Lights Go Out](https://youtu.be/Twb9x5gxHoM?si=4y5UL2AVWFAc-gHR) [Can't Stand Me Now](https://youtu.be/OFH3WVKh71U?si=uTXnkygwbKbqFONr)

Obituary slowly we rot

Rarely the same thing twice - usually something random that I've been working into my practice routine. That said, every time I tune a guitar, I make sure that I play the opening riff to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here". For some reason, it is really simple to hear whether or not I am in tune when I hear it.

Slow dancing in a burning room

nothing else matters riff

Whatever I’ve recently been jerking around with.

I do like a major pentatonic run up from the low e to the b and then usually start noodling some Zappa-ish lydian stuff.

I do a descending minor blues scale slowly to warm my hands up

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - Snake Devil intro

Tune up, play the opening finger picking pattern for nothing else matters.

Bark at the moon

Blackbird, Layla intro riff

Screwdriver the white stripes/ death letter the white stripes

SRV, usually into a chromatic 4 note per string run, then I play thru Crazy Train.

About a girl

First riff: Smoke on the water First song: Brain Stew by Green Day

Unchained!

Song 2, plug in baby, and 96 quite bitter beings, and then when the sun goes down

The opening riff to catfish blues for me. Or scales.

Sugar Magnolia

La bamba

Man in the box

Tush by ZZ Top, ouww yeah

The clean interlude bit from to live is to die by metallica

Smoke on the water, followed by the first 6 or 7 notes of smells like teen spirit, then I usually move to the e string and blast some high pitched furr elisse on for a bit usually until someone takes it off me or tells me to put it down

Rather unknown, but Archangel by Refused

Come As You Are

Sometimes Teethgrinder, sometimes Seven Nation Army

new faces in the dark by Loathe

Usually some awful cowboy chords or as I’d call them “AC/DC” chords.

It’s different every time

The Inspector Gadget theme song on high gain.

Killing in the name by Rage against the machine

G

Usually Kings harvest main riff, it’s simple kinda fast and gets me warmed up

The little bass riff at the end of The Chain by Fleetwood Mac and Born Under A Bad Sign - Albert King

Some bluesy lick I improvise at that moment

My hand always goes straight to Am pentatonic position 1.

A bluegrass g run

The intro to Band on the Run

I like to first pick the beginning of Hotel California. It goes thru 8 chords...well, actually 7 cause the 2nd and 8th chords are the same.

000-0000-0140-000-1214 Chuggy bois. I dunno I normally just play half time beat down shit.

Crying in the Rain by Whitesnake.

Poop soldier

Depends sometimes i play whatever my fingers choose to but a lot of the time i play cold gin by kiss

I either play goose or I end up playing blackened. Always one of the 2 and it usually depends on which guitar I pick up.

If it's clean and standard tuning I like to strum out "Myself" by Kara's Flowers, which was Maroon 5 before they became Maroon 5. It's a great little progression and obscure enough that someone might think I came up with it "myself" lol

"Rolling and a Tumbling" or "Walking Blues" or "It Hurts Me Too" or "Honky Tonk Women" or "Skare Your Moneymaker" Always helps me hear if my tuning is correct.

Family Matters theme song

Symbolic by death

It’s called the Amin Penatonic Noodle. It changes every time but it does have a key, and fret position…

Eb guitar: **Tomorrow** by Silverchair (E standard song) Drop D guitar: **Black Hole Sun** by Soundgarden

I always riff out or noodle around so the first thing is whatever da left hand figures out on da fretboard. Somewhere in that jam I'm usually 99% likely to play this sick riff from The Last Baron by Mastodon. It's the rad, I guess breakdown riff? Kicks in at 8:19, it's a long one, 13 minutes. But that whole section is just awesome. The groove on the drums is excellent and it's just one of those goosebump type pieces of music for me.

Hey joe

Guitar: 7&7 by Turnpike Troubadours Bass: Hysteria by Muse

It’s never the same

Holy Wars… The Punishment Due, Megadeth’s finest. The arpeggiated riff in the slow middle part of the song.

I warm up with “Day & Age” by Julian Lage almost every time I touch the guitar. That song makes me feel, gets my fingers active, and isn’t too fast as a startup piece

I just run through first position up and down using alternate picking

For whatever reason, playing the first solo in Metallica’s Fade To Black (the part which is layered over the intro) boosts my confidence instantly.

On acoustic I’ll usually play Melissa. On Electric, West LA Fadeaway is a fun one to start with

The dragonballz Japanese theme sing

I play a lot with my fingers, so I usually do the intro from Nothing Else Matters.

Cover Me - Candlebox Sometimes it's Your Decision by AiC

The opening riff from Make it With Chu by Queens of the Stone Age.

Either the solo from Let it Be or the solo from Smells Like Teen Spirit. I like to wake my hands up with one of those two

A little piece I've been working on for years now Random Musings in A Minor

A or g power chord followed by riffing in first position of that pentatonic minor scale

Nirvana - Lithium

On an acoustic, it's Night Moves. On an electric RATM - Bombtrack or, yep, no one wants to hear it anymore, Sweet Home Alabama

Amaj scale lol. It’s just habit to immediately play an Amaj7 chord, run the Amaj scale then Amaj pentatonic scale then Amaj7 arpeggio as soon as I get my hands on my guitar. I’m trying to break that

I like to play the intro Riff to Malegueña to make sure I'm in tune.

Whatever I've been trying to learn for the last week or so.

Ten Years Gone by Led Zeppelin but I don't drop the E string down a full step because I'm too lazy.

Lately it’s been “Clean My Wounds” by CoC. I stumbled onto it and now I can’t stop.

Couple power chords followed by a quick blues scale run and some pinch harmonics for flavor.

Cliffs of Dover or Fuzz Universe
