40 Guitar Riffs - Sounds From The Shed Challenge

40 Guitar Riffs - Sounds From The Shed This weeks video is something completely random. I was recently challenged to learn 20 guitar riffs. As a beginner, thats a big enough challenge. But to make it harder, I went for 50 riffs. Unfortunately it was a lot harder than I had anticipated and only managed to learn 40. It took me AGES! One riff alone took me over 200 attempts to get it anywhere near sounding right. After hours of trying and failing...the stress really gets to you haha and your arms and fingers go numb! Anyway...I managed to put together 40 snippets. They aren't great by any means but hopefully they are recognisable. I wasn't gonna upload the video as it was a bit poor to be fair...but YOLO as they say. By all means try and guess each tune. There's 40 in all, and I've placed all the answers below for anybody wishing to play along and check the guesses. Just don't expect quality and you wont be too disappointed :-) I apologise in advance for all the swearing...but once you've played the same riff incorrectly over and over and over again...it does strange things to ya haha!!! Special thanks to my Patrons David Shrive, Charles France and all of my Patrons.
