Metal guitarist tries to write a full song | Thick Riff Thursday, Ep 41

[@fatherbear_418]

And yes, absolutely, please give us more expansion and refining of your existing ideas! I’ve really been wanting to grow more as a composer in the sense of taking existing ideas and refining them together, so watching you walk through that process would absolutely be a huge benefit!

[@S4V4N]

Thick Riff Thursday is the best day!

[@BharatRajagopalan]

Babe wake up TRT dropped

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

[@metalmoto3275]

Yes and in depth tutorial for guitar and drums

[@maddbrandy]

I 2nd this

[@fatherbear_418]

I absolutely love that we are getting to see more of your routing process, especially with the way that you’re splitting the bass send. I’ve actually been doing a lot of this as well, having the instrument, be a no output, and then navigating it with automation in the sense. I know it’s a nerdy little detail, but it was really encouraging to see something. I’ve been been doing organically be some thing that also made sense to you in this process. Keep up the great work dude!

[@ipassbutter]

Honestly out of everything I watch on KZbin this has to be the absolute best channel and series. Thicccc riff Thursdays make my Thursdays that much better.

[@J.Blomberg]

The best way to end a thursday is to watch this and eat some good food!

[@DigiterraOfficial]

Love this series both for the riffs and for the look into the creative process

[@Vertigo359]

at 1:42 i thought he was just gonna say “i had a breakdown” lol

[@Guitarliano]

first thing I do now every Thursday is check for new Thick Riff. Keep up the great work Nick. you are amazing bro

[@davidegiancane]

Yeah man, a tutorial about guitar editing would be sooo useful! Thanks!

[@carazy123_]

So hyped for your new Monuments song John Browne!

[@AssmanKramer]

I was about to say this is very close to the opening riff in regenerate lol

[@rickjames5684]

Would love an in-depth video tutorial on guitar edits! I love your videos man. I've learned quite a bit since I first started watching your videos.

[@andremouracosta]

Full songs, please!

[@AYKband]

I've literally just stopped working on a song to go on youtube and this is the first thing that pops up

[@jaydenrobertson-zr9fu]

I have kept on thinking about how good this project was when you did it a few weeks ago and I'm so glad you revisited it, Keep up the thick riffage

[@geordihills]

Thank you for bringing back the meshuggah groovedown 🤩

[@SamBrockmann]

I would love a full in-depth tutorial of how you edit your guitars, yes. Sounds amazing.

[@meme__salad]

Man I’m so glad I discovered your channel, I was in a rut with my guitar playing (even though I’ve only been at it for 3 years so far) and every Thursday I’m just as excited to play as I was when I first started

[@cameronalex2723]

Ima binge every episode, quality content bro

[@memocayuna]

Yes, we would like a full video on how you edit guitars for sure.

[@theisaackielofproject3973]

I think keeping a good mix depending on how you feel. I do worry a similar way when writing where I'll start a bunch of things and then when I have ideas to back and expand on something from before

[@paulpinos1676]

Continuing songs would be great as well!

[@duncanwright301]

Definitely would love a mix between new riffs and songwriting episodes. Both are cool, and it keeps it fresh.

[@nerdsofmetal4318]

Yes, I would love a breakdown of your guitar editing process, please! Also, if it has not already been addressed, I would love to see how you do multiple takes in one pass to comp your tracks. Thanks for your killer content. You're helping me and my band tremendously! 🤘❤️🤘

[@nerdsofmetal4318]

Also, this is the 1st video that randomly came into my YT feed! I'm so glad I subbed. You're an inspiration and an amazing musician, please more of everything! 🤘❤️🤘

[@Promiselandfarm]

That bass routing trick you did was gold🙌 great video and love the riff stank face qualified

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 🤘

[@e2116]

Yes, would love a full in depth vid on guitar editing. Hope to see it soon

[@dbwastooshort]

LOL TITLE SO REALLLLLLL, EXCITED TO WATCH THIS ONE !

[@ChefClarke97]

We wanna see more !

[@MarkDVocals]

Give us them full songs!! Them riffs are too juicy to be left alone.

[@drivabletoaster417]

Nick is a shining example of what every home musician/producer strives to be. Would love to sneak a peek at your process of mixing guitars. Maybe even a riff tutorial on some of your most popular TRT’s! Phenomenal vid as always.

[@ebonbonb652]

I think seeing you flush out some ideas or even combining some riffs to make full songs would be nice. Not only would it be cool to see these ideas made into full tracks, but I would love to see your process on how you finalize a track. Love your work and have been learning from these vids.

[@theindiegamealchemist]

having so much fun every single time! thank you very much :)

[@blooky41]

A tutorial on how you edit guitars would be awesome ! 🎸Great vid btw !

[@p-manz-dude4437]

Yes please on the tutorial Tuesday for guitar editing. Also love the full song writing stuff!

[@DommoDommo]

Yes more explinations and longer videos!

[@rewoundmusic2312]

dude you never stop inspiring me, the way you write always inspires me to pick up the guitar and write something myself

[@logandorminey4497]

Yes to seeing more of your editing process

[@westontd2]

Yes tutorials and full songs vids would be awesome!!

[@PeterCleff]

Dude, I am stealing that riser idea HARD!!!

[@randylodder1265]

Full songs for sure. Would be awesome for a full in depth mixing approach for it when done as well.

[@PeterCleff]

Looking forward to more music. Really inspring stuff!

[@felixlausch]

Thank you so much Nick! Love the series! A lesson on your guitar edits would be great! :)

[@Tomasz.skupin]

17:04 absolutely

[@christopherbard3049]

Amazing work! Love those videos

[@TheAwesomeBros2626]

I would commit GREAT ATROCITIES to this riff, with that being said yes full song pls 👉👈🥺

[@trevorhackathorn6059]

Finish it Friday!

[@tbb2542]

I feel like I learned more from this video than any other video of yours. Your videos are not always directed at being informative but are on that line of educational/entertaining. But I learn so much watching it is both. If you did a video that was aimed directly at being informative I’d grab a pen and paper and start taking notes. Let the knowledge drop and I’m there! Inspiring, educational, entertaining, chuggy chuggy riff riff videos. WHODEY!

[@iancarney3082]

I would love to see a full mix theory video on how you mix/edit your guitars. I record every single day and have watched dozens of different videos on mixing guitars and mixing master tracks, but I'm just not getting that ugly chunky goodness I'm looking for. Please show us your ways 🥲

[@infelicitas]

man this was sick. You should get a double pedal!

[@gymbossmarketingco6571]

Tutorials would be EPIC! Especially tips on how you use Logic. Short cuts you use and other recording tips

[@gabrielpettit3989]

Sick! Would definitely love to see a video on your editing process too

[@natesguitar1001]

The album is dope bro

[@davidholmes5174]

ABSOLUTELY flex those songwriting muscles for us!! 😏

[@1230FUN]

Full songs!

[@guitarmichael]

Yes to Thick Song Thursday. Also dat chorus sneak peek!

[@zeevshaff]

Long videos through the whole process, finishing the song, production layers, mixing would be awesome

[@claytoncurry8655]

Dude a tutorial video on editing guitars would be sick and much appreciated!

[@michaelcasson3595]

All aboard the Bass Bus!

[@ilikelittlebikes]

Thick Riff Thursday can flow into Finish It Friday

[@EightPenguins]

I wish I had a friend like you

[@blakewalker6883]

Could you do a tutorial on your whole mixing console? Like how you bus each instrument out, etc.

[@Archangel.5]

I would love a tutorial Tuesday

[@DiegoGonzalez-vn3qx]

this is thicccc, and would definitely love an in-depth tutorial on guitar editing!!

[@sergiospeed4768]

[@Женя-ж5л8ф]

Would like to see your editing guitar tracks tutorial. Thanks for the content!

[@nickpov3y]

please go back and finish some of the old riffs. also, this is an absolutely sick riff, kinda reminds me oarcane roots' breakdowns which are very catch 33 meshuggah inspired themselves

[@joshcantu5405]

I would love a video on how you both edit and comp guitars. Also, I use Tosin Abasi neural dip and would like some 8 string tone tips.Thanks for the content.

[@paulpinos1676]

Guitar edit tutorial would be incredible!

[@aufd1]

2:04 so basically clockworks :D

[@tusharjamwal]

Full song sundays!

[@TylerSmithMusic1]

I would love the clean song you wrote awhile back. Haha

[@JustinReyesMusic]

monuments vibes love it

[@adenmcguire2282]

I would love to see a guitar editing tutorial!

[@scottcorgan]

Nice! You can put the midi on the track stack and it’ll just send to the tracks in the stack.

[@ironpeeb]

Killer riff this week

[@benstanfill363]

Please please please do the guitar editing tutorial. It seems so difficult to do in logic. I'd also love to see how you mix the PV kit because I can't get my toms to sound how I want.

[@Gee-no]

So Djenty like.

[@adammoultontravel]

Tutorials would be sick!

[@Tamajyn69]

How do you manage to put out content so consistently? I've been trying to start a music channel (not this one) for over a year now and every time I sit down and try to film a video I end up hating everything I write, crying because I feel like an impostor and deleting the footage 😭

[@Simon-gh6nz]

this is at home in the album

[@danielheptig2593]

This has a very Elitist vibe to it. sick

[@samthomlinsonmusic]

Yes please on that guitar edit video.

[@theenlightenedone5429]

So can we listen to the full song?

[@thesobercoder]

Inject my veins with more songwriting content, please!

[@zaquemwhc]

It’s simple. Tutorial Tuesday, Thick Riff Thursday, and of course Finish It Fridays. Maybe not every Friday? Take it, you’re the best!

[@Plastidon]

Hi nick - cool videos and tunes , weird about the plugin opening up , I have the most recent version of logic and don’t have that problem, are you using option to copy the plugins over ?

[@streetlegends]

Yes. Tutorial on how you edit your guitars.

[@dupadupadoo69]

How could you tease that sick chorus and not play the whole thing at the end?

[@drivabletoaster417]

Can you use that Bass Bus technique on real bass as well? Tried and the DI sound still leaks through

[@peacock_audio]

I'd love to learn more about guitar/bass editing in Logic🤓

[@lesserkey]

That electronic drum kit you have.. do you like it? Do you have any complaints about it? Im looking into getting one. Does it real velocity hits well? I'd obviously be using GGD through it.

[@TempleGuitars]

I'd love a tutorial on how to bus drums so I can give them different EQ's on the kick and snare etc, without running multiple instances of my drum plugin.

[@kickinwinganimaldoctor7418]

Yes. Yes please. Yeas please sir. Yes please sir right now.

[@stacksbtw]

What I wanna know the most is how you seemingly get the most crushing, brutal, and "clean sounding" (not actual cleans) tones from just the stock archetype plugins I have a high-end Schechter with active emg pickups and my tones just don't sound as good as yours.

[@vissetstein7420]

What software do you use? I'm on Cubase but for some reason I find that my mind was able to wrap around ProTools a bit better

[@ejnova7215]

I think he uses logic Pro But it's a Mac exclusive

[@vissetstein7420]

@@ejnova7215 Yea I just hit 10:57 in the video and he mentions logic, Thank you
