10 Easy Darkthrone Riffs

[@delvismallory6184]

Darkthrone is the ultimate band when it comes to exploring simple riffs. Truly masters of creativity. Great playing! Wish I had these videos when I was a beginner

[@sherafati]

Agreed! Dark, melodic yet simple riffs.

[@sozhran]

Amen! Some of their riffs make me want to give up writing my own, so stupid simple and absolutely unbeatable. TRRRRIUMPHANT GLEEAM!!

[@raimondsstokmanis1892]

1:49 Such an underrated riff. That bend just adds such flavor.

[@vladtheimpaler7375]

How simple these riffs are is a testament to Darkthrone's greatness. These songs are all iconic and stick in your heard forever yet no one else came up with them.

[@kazklvoyvoy643]

bro

[@WildChildMcCloud]

I never realized how 80s traditional metal sounding many of their riffs are.

[@ОтецИосиф-к6ж]

Красавчик! Не пропадай на долго, заскучал по приятным рифам 🤘🏻🔥

[@SDMF20]

The opening track on Hate Them, Rust is super simple and yet groovy and atmospheric.

[@johngavin1175]

Yrstet I livet has a good simple riff at the beginning. The whole album is underrated.

[@SDMF20]

@@johngavin1175 Yeah, i totally agree. I feel like nobody talks about that album.

[@bl4ncoSR]

Glad i stumbled on your channel, cant wait to get a guitar again! Always played Ramones songs and learned through them, but i wanna dive into learning my favorite black metal riffs. I love how something so heavy can sound relaxing at the same time

[@voronOsphere]

I love all of your Darkthrone Lessons/Demonstrations, Simon! Thanks!!!!

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Cheers bro!

[@sozhran]

Love Cromlech - one of the catchiest examples of the full tone scale.

[@gustavocosta5648]

In The Shadows of the Horns is one of the greatest Darkthrone songs. They seem to sound even better when slowing the tempo.

[@nathaaaaaa]

Darkthrone is surely one of the bands that ever existed

[@rei6nofrot]

Thanks for everything you do, Man!

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

🤘🤘

[@larsnordstrom364]

Great as always! you're super talented. Darkthrone is my favorite bm band

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Thanks bro

[@init-crioxica]

[@grausamkeit2565]

Hail Darkthrone! Really good video, thank you!!!

​@kill the weak facts

[@garrettsanguinetti90]

Just jumped back into playing 3 weeks ago (10 years since I last played) and picked up your Black Metal crash course on Udemy. Thanks for the content you put out Simon. So far I've gotten through Lost Wisdom, Quintessence, Freezing Moon, and a few others with your help. Forgot how much fun and how rewarding it is to just learn something new! I was curious if you could recommend a book for beginners on practical music theory as it relates to guitar?

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Good question! I'll have a think

[@primusdude87]

To Walk The Infernal Fields to me sounds like it should be in 4/4 with a triplet feel, but that's my musical nerd coming out again. Great video.

[@BlackMetalRiffs2023]

My fav guitar lessons!!!

[@paraskevaproductions551]

Great Video and guitar tone

[@dherdy9205]

I through your stuff to my teen kids on discord whilst they go to sleep , It takes me for ever lol , Right on And the new dark throne is killer

[@LordKaos666]

Thanks Simon!

[@enkeltddelig1243]

You are the best!! 🤘

[@AdamBurseMusic]

Great compilation Simon, that was awesome man 😈🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Thanks mate!!

[@Primal-Dude]

Thanks for this video! and the Tabs! I just recently got into darkthrone, and recently started learning guitar (been playing bass for 18 years) and this will help a lot! Thank you! what do you think of eternal hails? I fuckin love it

[@scottbrady2301]

Love your channel, please do more obituary!

[@blackmetalsilentmortuary7]

Superb

[@J.Matt666]

good shit simon \m/ \m/

[@seigneurfred6954]

Hi Dude ! Thank you for that new tutorial very accessible. Could you make the same thing for Watain one day or some riffs from their last album The Agony and The Ecstasy of Watain, please ?

[@Lustawaii]

Portugal 🔥

[@mikerauter1859]

Simon thanks for not playing 'Transylvanian hunger'! That's become the BM stairway to heaven, and will probably be banned in guitar shops. The forbidden riff!

[@metal_monocle7334]

And it’s not even that good a riff. First half of it sure, but the last bit always felt flat

[@jimtguitarist]

New video! 🤘

[@SuperTotalbekloppt]

where is transilvanian hunger riff?

[@bugai2900]

Дякую за відео! !!🤘🤘🤘

[@hellgrammite3602]

Maybe you can help me a tad. I am confused when it comes to black metal tuning. Like when I was younger and was learning Venom songs it was eazy to tell it was either D or C#. But with Mayhem, Burzum, Dark Throne, Dimmu, Cradle Of Filth, Bathory. The tuning just baffles me.

[@brenomordida]

Ugh, some Burzum songs are even almost F standard, but I don't remember any Burzum song below E standard

[@hellgrammite3602]

@@brenomordida thank you. Venom was easy to get tuning wise. But thanks about Burzum.

[@hellgrammite3602]

Plus lol Varg used such low quality recording and a 10w amp for the guitar parts of his early stuffs

Какая песня играет на заднем фоне в начале видео? 🐈‍⬛

[@Alex-et1yn]

what did you use to achieve the tone? it sounds killer man

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Thanks mate! Two Amp Sims (Nalex Pectifier) and Nick Crowe 6505 clone, and a mic in front of an Orange Jim Root Dark Terror through a Laney IRT212.

[@АнастасияАксенова-й5л]

Hans Siste Winter?..

[@unitedeasterntapes]

make a tutorial on lifelovers music!! maybe m/s salmonella or any others

[@Patatsaus]

why isnt transalbanian hunger on there it isnt that hard right?

[@gladglad5473]

здесь должна была еще быть Quintessence

[@thestørmcrier2024]

I like their riffs because it took E standard to a new level of creativity in simple riffs just adding the black metal horrid production to it

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Absolutely

[@XxMasonBoyxX]

give us marduk!

[@igorx4128]

А что у них есть сложные рифы?!

[@init-crioxica]

А что они обязаны быть сложными что-бы нравится?

[@zemiol3366]

And Transylvanian hunger not easy))?

[@vxdcra]

Yea

[@mohdrazalibinaliman5194]

How my cord Abramelin band is not easy for some people...

[@alexanderborisenko6676]

I want to hear transilvanian hanger riff but i didn't hear it
