TOP 20 ELECTRIC GUITAR INTROS OF ALL TIME

“We need more cowbell!”

LOVE that SNL skit!

Number 1 should have been Voodoo Child Slight Return. That wah wah intro is remarkable.

Timing is off on Limelight. Lifeson plays with more staccato/bounce.

Johnny B Good...

Cliffs of Dover should be #1.

What about Alright Now by Free? In my opinion it should have been included on the top of the list. It is, by far, one of the most recognizable electric guitar intros.

You missed one!!! My fave of alltime: Burn, Deep Purple. Not to mention played by the greatest of all-time, R Blackmore.

Think you should have played The Hollies a long Kool women in a black dress has one of the best intros of all time...

This guy is amazing, the way he breaks down songs and sounds is very clever, he also plays multiple instruments, I was a musician back in the day and it's impressive what Rick does on his channel. Thank you.

Money for nothing is criminally low

Good one

Enjoyable video, my top 3 would be. Oasis - Morning Glory. Reef-place your hands. Lenny Kravitz-Go my way

I would go for Pinball Wizard by the Who

I think All right now by Free would have deserved to be on this list.What do you think ?

Get it on by T Rex is my favourite intro by far. Brings me out in goose bumps!

I can’t believe he had “hard days night”for #1. It’s just a chord. Where’s “The Spirit of Radio”?

A to die for music studio! How did you get all this Rick?

Why has it taken me so long to find this incredible channel?

Greetings from Brazil, Rick! Love your content. Wouldn't there be space for an Iron Maiden material in one of your future TOP 20? Abraço!

Of course it´s impossible to limit this list to only 20, but that is the nature of ¨best of¨ lists. Your honorable mentions certainly makes that point as any of them are worthy as well. I would have included ¨I´m Going Home¨ by Ten Years After. I saw them live in concert and it sounded just like it did at Woodstock.

"Joker and The Thief" by Wolfmother could get an honorable mention.

Under the bridge intro is extremely recognizable and unique sounding to and it is one of my absolute favorites

Life in the fast lane by Eagles' Joe Walsh.

No Nugent?

Where the streets have no name!

How about Duane Allman on Statesboro Blues?!?!

If I were to pick one from VH it would have been Mean Street, plus it would have been interesting to see Rick play it.

Hey Rick can I suggest rather than top twenties you do top 30's ......

Beatles..lol..freaking horrible number 1

maybe so underrated but the cancer ruin maybe an actual one of the greatest guitarists an singer and in this Bowie song; Master Mr. Mick David Bowie "Moonage Daydream" specifically the live version that actually recently they really do a good job to Remastered this so Aggressive and The personality of mr. Ronson in this particular video or track (Moonage Daydream Mix)

Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum

What did you do to Teen spirit, man?!?!?

1 cord wins, just about sums up how great the Beatles really were.

Life in the Fast Lane…

For an additional episode @RickBeato ...?

Mr Brightside - The Killers
Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon
Do I Wanna Know - Arctic Monkeys
This Charming Man - The Smiths

I am quite amazed that Black Sabbath is a blocker. Tony Iommi seems like such a down to earth guy that I cannot believe that he would be the blocker. I am sure that he would just love to hear his music out there and being listened to. I would bet 100 to 1 that it is Sauron Osbourne that is the blocker.

Funk 49 by James gang

Have you ever thought about doing the top 10/20 by the decade? I was hoping to see some Dave Mathews, Nirvana (smells like teen spirit or come as you are), Metallica (more...i.e. One (iconic)), Cemetery Gate (Pantera), ....

She's my Best friends girl by The Cars is must be on the list Sir🤩

Hey Rick where would you rate "She sells Sanctuary" by Billy Duffy (the Cult)?

piuh 😮 Not even an honorable mention from Are you gonna go my way or Always on the run?
And how about Purple Rain or Under the bridge? Is there an funk allergie goin round? 😂😂

Me impressiona que, com tanto conhecimento, Rick parece não dar importância a Rory Gallagher , Steve Howe e Steve Hackett...

Always interesting & thought provoking & man can you play!! Great stuff! At least honorable mention Ronnie Wood “Stay with me” by Faces!! Killer intro!😊love watching

Gimme Shelter - Stones

Prince's opening to "When Doves Cry" is a big omission I believe.

#7 needs more cowbell.

I was so mad because fly by night by rush wasn’t on here

Seriously? Black Sabbath doesn’t want free fucking recognition???

How about Chuck Berry’s “Johnny Be Good”, great intro!
