NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL - How to write a riff

Heres a some quick tips on how I write a Norwegian Black Metal riff, a bit more serious and down to the point this time ;)

@@TelochMayhem Well, in fact for me was strange to see 7.00 am Sunday in the Premiere. But I think "May he decided to set the premiere early for people in USA, Aussie or country with +/- 9 or 10 hours of difference from GMT!". 😂 You're a Pro Man and shit happens, but read how my twisted mind had render your simple am/pm confusion in a nosense "special Premiere time for someone somewhere in this world". I'm the tard genious king! 😂 So 7 pm re-stream of the tutorial and then special "1k views" live streaming 👍

Minor key single note tremolos for fast parts and arpeggiated minor chords for slow parts. Done

Спасибо за творчество!

[@angelo_pereira]

Hi Teloch, just found out your channel and I already subscribed. You are a truly nice guy indeed, nothing to do with that BM bullsh*t on which all are evil... Anyway, nice tutorial, really enjoyed it but I guess the main thing about writting BM music is to follow the feeling, the flow and not thinking too much about it or if it'll sound trve or knot. If you re really into it, things will start to come out pretty easy. Won't you agree? As for the rest, best wishes to you mate. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹 🤘🏼

[@ramy_morke]

I am not Norwigian, I haven't a guitar, still I enjoy your stuff... And minor chords 🤘😝🤘 of corpse!

Buy a cheap harley benton for 100€, they are damn good for their money :) hint: you want humbucker for black metal distortion :D

[@jtotheltotheotv]

Maybe you have, but what about a songwriters tutorial? What gear you need, how to use Reason (for idiots like me). Basically a ground-up guide from your experience so any of us could get laying ideas down quickly.

[@TelochMayhem]

I kinda did in this video :) Or you mean a more extensive one? Slow TV?

Do you think about using "evil sounding" notes, such as the tritone or the minor second, when writing, Teloch?

[@TelochMayhem]

I don't really think, I just go with the flow :)

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

Not familiar with your music but I like your playing style. It’s as if Alex Lifeson was writing heavier, darker riffs.

[@MicheleUrukHai]

The sentence "you need a guitar and come from Norway " sums it up. You can do farts pretending to be black metal jewels and labels / audience will be impressed.

[@gapanko85]

Those combined techniques...

[@emilskythor08]

0:26 is Sweden also okay?😭

[@RalfKilauea]

1001 thumbs up.

[@Anonymous-wx6cb]

!!!MAYHEM RULES!!!

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

how? just how do you get that clear sound when tremolo all 6 strings? I still don`t understand. If I do it, it all blurs, if lower the gain, it`s not metal anymore lol guess I should try that Nolly plugin

[@TelochMayhem]

Do it fast enough and you'll be fine :D

[@norwardradtke1361]

It’s not the plug-in. Try layering clean tone like 12-17dbs under your distortion

[@norwardradtke1361]

I am Norwegian also. Jeg Norske. AND I have a guitar lol! what do you know…har det bra, tusen takk 😎🇳🇴🔥⛪️🔥
