Then once I have the form memorized then I will add to it and construct the sound I am looking for that I feel deep within me by adding a little bend here, maybe a slide there, or little tiddly diddly finger tippy tappy.

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.

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.

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

These are great suggestions. Always record yourself when trying to write, because you may do something cool and not be able to recall what you did to recreate it. Another idea... Take what you recorded and play the recording backwards. There might be something interesting and unique there if you reverse it. I've also on occasion cut out a full beat or half measure of a guitar riff to intentionally throw things off from the drums, which I leave whole.

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.

Admit it. Your riffs come to you when you are in the shower, and you keep a guitar next to the shower. That way, you simply grab that guitar, and jam out the riffs IN the shower. Or am I the only one who uses the shower as a "think tank?"....

So true about just sitting around with the guitar and getting bored. I noodle with my guitar while watching tv and inevitably come up with several riffs I like and quickly record it on my sound recorder app on my iPhone to mess with later and not forget it.
