“Sir, are you going to buy it?”

"Sorry bro, I forgot to hit record"

The most impressive part is that he could still do sultans of swing after 40 other riffs beforehand

"Oh, you play the guitar? What songs can you play?" "All of them."

I don’t know what more impressive, that he can play all these riffs or he remembered 100 riffs in order for this video

12 years later and still one of the most satisfying videos on the internet.

I'm very impressed that he managed to play smoke on the water.

When you're scrolling through guitar hero's music list

Oh you like music? Name every song This guy: sure

The quick-change to Drop D at 6:38 was damn impressive.

everyone talking about how good he is at playing the guitar, but nobody talking about how his foot switch skills are off the charts

The worst part about it is when you recognize a part and it ends before you can get into it

It's tradition to come back to this video every so often

3:02 tonight: I play 100 different guitar riffs, James plays the top gear intro on a piano and Richard smashes a drum set.

I remember first seeing this video 7 years ago when I started playing electric guitar... Had a massive impact on me.. Great job!!!

Remembered 100 riffs, played them note perfectly, had smooth transitions and selected the right pedal every time flawlessly. That was impressive.

Every time he started a new riff I didn’t want him to stop.

What is even more impressive is that he changes tuning to drop D on the run. Impressive!!
