Ideally, they would do the same with riff-based songs, but that isn’t always the case.Įither way, having 50 awesome riffs under your belt is a brilliant achievement and a great 1-year goal for new players. When it comes to chord based songs, they learn the whole song and nothing less. What I encourage them to do, is learn the whole song for at least ten of these riffs, so they can hear and understand how a song is fully constructed. This goes for when learning harder riffs and especially when learning any easy riffs on the guitar. One other thing – I’m a big fan of students learning songs from start to finish and getting into the habit of doing so.
New players will have to build up to this – just focus on learning one riff at a time! This is very beneficial for more experienced players.
It’s an awesome challenge and one that takes times and lots of concentration. One thing I love to do, is challenge my students to play through the entire list of riffs one after the other with only a second or two break, getting all the way from 1 to 50.

Obviously, if you have an electric with a bit of overdrive or full on distortion they will sound that bit cooler, but many of my students play these on acoustic and love playing them just as much. You will be a much better guitar player for learning these killer riffsĮven if you are an acoustic player, these riffs sound great too. Instead of them showing their friend or girlfriend a half-hearted (because they can’t play it yet) rendition of ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’, they blast through the riffs they have learned competently and confidently and the loved one is usually suitably very impressed. Blow the socks off your audienceĪfter a few months of playing, a friend or family member will always ask a student what they can play. 6-12 months is an approximate time scale as long as you practice properly. It will take time to learn all these especially if you have never played before. Believe me, you will saviour the moment when you are able to play number 50 comfortably. Go through this list of the best guitar riffs for beginners in order starting at number one, learn them and check each one off until you can play them all.

I then devised a list of 10 riffs to teach, they were enjoyed so I extended it to 20, then 30 and so on until I reached a list of 50 fantastic riffs that are great to learn and will take a new guitarist all the way from a complete novice that has never picked up the guitar to a professional sounding intermediate guitar hero who can blow away his or her guitar competition. They were also more fun and as a great bonus they even helped the student to play the chords and improve finger dexterity, so it was a win win situation. The riffs were easier to play than chords. They loved playing more, they practiced more, and they got much better, much quicker.

Oh, and you get a free book.īy teaching the students riffs, they were able to play REAL music in a much shorter space of time. As a guy who is keen to please, over the next few weeks/months I will be posting tutorial videos for all 50 of these riffs, so you can learn every single one of them.To keep updated as to when they are live, you can join the free mailing list here.

Update: Since posting this article I have had huge demand for the video lessons to teach you how to play these riffs. I quickly realised a great way to motivate the student was to teach them riffs – particularly easy, classic riffs. When I first started teaching guitar, I quickly realised that if you try to teach students a lot of chord based strumming songs, (which seems like the typical way to teach new students) they would find it difficult and get frustrated.
