Technically it's a lick, not a riff, but you get what I mean. Noticed that all the other "Buddy Holly but just the riff" videos cut off before the final note, so I decided to make my own with a bit of empty space at the end as padding. Also used the "just the guitar" version found here (   • Weezer - Buddy Holly (Guitars Only)  ) because I thought it sounded better, so credit to this person for their "just the guitar" version.

Song is "Buddy Holly" by Weezer, if you couldn't tell.

    Also see "Thom Yorke Screaming Without Background Music!" https://youtu.be/mGdLIKL7FHQ And here is the original video that I extracted this sound from. I put it in the description but I realized I should make it much more apparent, so I'm putting it here. Go check it out, this video wouldn't have been possible without it! https://youtu.be/iHdzkSjlxYg

    The Weezer sitcom if they had a theme for the transitions between scenes while a background audience laughs.

    I accidentally played this on guitar yesterday and immediately went into anaphylactic shock
  • I accidentally ran across this while I was messing with my keyboard the other day... welp now I can show people my skills at perfecting this 6 second riff from weezer on a piano

    I am tempted to learn both this and the intro to “Bad to the Bone” just to annoy my family constantly

  • @Sivuna
    This is unironically one of my favorite guitar riffs of all time. Its just something about it that makes me feel good when i hear it

    I went to a battle bands once, and in one band, the guitarist played this as a soundcheck while the drummer played the PH theme. They were an excellent prog rock band who ended up winning the contest.
  • This is what I play when I tell my girlfriend she's not allowed to leave the house or do anything when I'm not around

    Reminds me of the horrible events back in 1999

    This video is officially old enough that if it were a baby I would have given birth to it by now
  • This is the perfect song to listen to while listening to someone listen to weezer
  • @4drir
    I watched a 20 second ad for this totally worth it
