This is how Modern Metal riffs are created.

Once the tapping started, it showed the evolution of 2005 metalcore to modern metal.

[@aljohnson334]

A lot of new/intermediate players don't realize this is how to write cool riffs. They think it'll just happen all at once. The ideas just come out awesome right off the bat. That happens occasionally but I write almost everything this way. I'm usually just noodling around while watching TV and something cool will pop out then I basically dissect what I'm doing and embellish it or build it into something else. I think of it like building a house. First you need a foundation, then your structure, now take that structure and decorate it however you like. Sometimes I grab the acoustic to write metal riffs to kind of force myself to start simpler. Plus, if it sounds good on acoustic, it's definitely gonna sound good on electric. AND since an acoustic doesn't sound metal, when you make the switch to electric, hopefully it'll have a unique sound or style that I wouldn't have come up with playing a distorted electric. That's one of the goals anyway

[@RohannvanRensburg]

Well said! That's how the greats did it (Opeth wrote all their riffs on acoustic first)

[@Oppoi]

King shit

[@musicmade6993]

This is what I aim for when I try to make riffs. Even if I’m just noodling on one string and I’ll go and figure out where I can play it easier and that’ll open up a whole new place or sound I can put into the song.

Yoooooo, this was soooo siiiiick \m/ I love how you added layers to this riff every 4 bars. The chords, the rhythm, the melody, the metronome, I love it all! Also, just found you today. This video convinced me to sub.

Bro I need too

[@RohannvanRensburg]

You'll never advance to this level if you rely on tabs. Slow it down and use your ear

[@stevie_stevens7134]

i know man, it’s just incredible. i’m learning a lot more about different scales and modes in general recently i’ve been taking lessons from miles dimitri baker and he’s such a good teacher. never really learned anything like that the guy that taught me when i was young taught me chords and how to read tabs and it’s gotten me pretty far. sweeps were tricky. everything was shapes for me before this it makes a lot more sense now.

[@ThorsShadow]

@@RohannvanRensburg He can literally learn this by using tabs. You can learn about music theory by using tabs. Yes, developing your musical ear is important, but saying you can't get to that level with tabs is merely showing, that you don't know what you are talking about. Also, that you're probably a boomer.

[@JackWhitehead1]

The infinite source of human emotion that comes from within is famously difficult to capture in most of our forms of communication. People write poetry, music and law that inspires and unites - and sometimes alienates, all in unison in an atempt to truly comprehend the divine beauty of - what THIS is - ...reality. Not everyone is capable of doing this with aplomb but kudos to those who try to create art in their own attempt to capture this source of "purpose". Then there are people like yourself, above them all, able to create something that can actually describe an impressive portion of the divine and you spend your time dunking on those that try. Your prize is youtube impressions. Music is the purest expression of the sacred and it is so difficult to create anything that breaks the mould. You shouldn't sneer at anyone who isn't as capable as yourself at doing it - just respect that they feel the purpose of it too and you are both on the same path towards finding - or expressing to others, meaning
