This guy has more guitars than I have plates.

For all companies or producers that are blocking Rick, you’ve lost your way. This is a celebration of great music. Not a rip.

Considering the impact and weight of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" (one of rhe most important riffs in rock history), it really needs to be mentioned

Can’t you hear me knocking, is the greatest rock electric intro ever

This video is a Guitar Center employees living nightmare.

Wow thanks for including my rendition of Sweet Child O' Mine at 13:50! I'm flattered!

Fun fact: Eric Clapton didn’t write the riff from sunshine of your love, it was cream’s bassist Jack Bruce that wrote it after attending a jimi Hendrix experience concert

What I love about these videos is that Rick the guitarist is not alone and Rick the producer is here too making the sound on every intro a near perfect reproduction of the original!

This guy looks like a rock n roll Anthony Bourdain

"Crazy Train" deserves a spot on the list.

The Birds , Turn , Turn , Turn!! It's the most classic intro ever!!!! I know Pete Seger wrote it but, the intro that The Birds did is so iconic. It's timeless!!! I can't believe it was not on the list 🤯

The "one" chord intro gives goosebumps.. Awesome work Rick.

I love that we can all recognize Sweet Child O Mine even when it’s intentionally played wrong. Iconic.

I'd definitely have The Byrds -- Mr Tambourine Man on my list. Roger McGuinn's Rickenbacker 12 string is very distinctive.

'Saturday's Alright For Fighting'--you know you are in for a rocking good tune that never lets up

Crazy Train is one of the most recognized electric guitar riffs of all time and should be high on this list.

As soon as we clicked on this video we knew layla was gonna be here

Rick I don’t know how you can’t put No One Like You on this list. Scorpions. Incredible intro to a phenomenal song. Doesn’t get much better!
