A good tip for writing metal riffs is to use the minor scale and flatten the 2nd and the 5th. So In e minor you have e, f#, g,a,b,c,d,e add in an f natural and a b flat into your power chords in passing every so often but don’t overdue it, it gives a very heavy and dissonant sound that sounds out of place but it works! Great for that deeper heavier sound without having to drop tune the guitar.

Great idea, but Ola tends to just have the bass following the rhythm guitar or slower, tense transitions on root notes. It'd be interesting if he got Adam Neely for that, since groove metal oriented bands tend to have bass follow rhythm guitar for extra 'chunk.' Edit: Grmph has a jazzy walking bassline, now that I think about it, so who knows...might work.

When you're using programs like bias, guitar rig, amplitube or vsts and similar you can think like you're using real stuff but all digital. A virtual pedal is like a real pedal, so are cabs, mics, fxs, etc. They try to emulate the sound but of course it will never sound 100% equal (nor good).. something can be fixed, a bit eq here a bit eq there, but for example harmonics don't resonate well and i hate that digital feel, especially cause i like tube distortion. Anyway i find most of the virtual fxs are ok, but distortion and hi gain are the worst. I upgraded my ai to an ur22 with the hi-z switch for matching impedance (= no need for di box), I solved the plastic sound problem by getting a mesa tube preamp and a maxon od808 boosted by a ge10, all going straight into the ai, to the program with all the effects. since i play mostly metal i don't need lots of fx, just a bit of compression, cab simulation, eq and rev/dl for leads.. and i NEVER use ai gain, cause number 1 of plastic sound. This works for me.. my pc is i5 16gb, daw studio one 3 pro, hs80m monitors, good cables.. and i'm planning on getting an axe fx when i save some money (can't wait)! Can your shit tone depend from your guitar? Maybe, but lots of people don't know (or are scared) how to set it up and/or adjust pickup height correctly, sometimes that solves some issues, try it before spending 200$ on nazguls. You have to spend time dialing the tone and trying different combinations, don't go gain 10 treble 10 no mids and 10 volume please, it's easier to get a shit tone than a good one.. also check noise gates, eventual compressors, limiters on the master, be sure your levels aren't clipping..

Make sure your guitar, no matter what it looks like or how cheap it is, has a good pair of pickups like Duncan Seymour or EMG 81. Standard entry-level humbuckers won't do and will be like trying to get water out of a rock which is what I'm doing because I got everything else, except the damn pickups. Good pickups are one of the most important things none of these guys mention, but makes all the difference as distorted guitars are the worst to record and work with if you don't know what what a clear and crackle-free distorted tone should sound like. Make sure you have a decent bass guitar with new strings replaced regularly and a drum machine or vst plugin like Toontrack, a Focusrite 2i2 interface, Amplitube 4(has the best sounding virtual amps and cabinets), Reaper or Studio One DAW and you are pretty much set to record mind-blowing metal tracks.

You can also take a piece of some solo from any song you like - and then turn it into a riff with completely different rhythm - it's as simple as that. And lots of fun! \m/
@AldoGomezOficial6 жыл бұрын
It's a good idea, and works with famous riffs too
@lukaszkoziol83026 жыл бұрын
yeah - you can even take something that famous like for example master of puppets and turn some licks from this song into something completely different

I absolutely love your channel very entertaining and a lot to learn. I've played guitar for 16 years, but I lost interest and haven't played for 8 years. I finally got inspired to play again and finally picked up some new gear. I was never really good at leads but rythm was my thing. I want to take it to the next level I would love to be really good at leads and I would love to sweep. Thanks a lot for all the new gear info and everything else you do. I did buy some used gear but I had to have the new version of the Boss MT 2w

Your guitar playing is inspirational and amazing. I'll never forget when my friend first showed me The Haunted Made Me Do It Album long ago. " I put a sweet cover of trespass on my KZbin page" :) You are definitely one of my top inspirations in metal. Also I Love the washburn solar 7. It was like the planets aligning scoring that thing.

*insert name here* it's still drop D they just tuned in quarter step shifts for their own reasons like Megadeth used to and George Lynch and stuff, it's still around standard/drop tuning, nothing complicated whatsoever honestly.

One of the coolest riffs I've heard (still catchting me evev 8/9 years later is the starting riff of "If it wasn't for you" by may the silence fail. More or less small band from germany that wrote one of the best metal albums I've ever heard (of hope and aspirations). Give it try. And it is exactly how Ola says in the beginning: I cannot even point out why this. But when I firsten listened to it I thought "this is wh metal was invented". Sometime, you simply fall in love with a particular riff
