"We're not here for a good time. We're here to write prog riffs". Gonna slap this on a sign and put it above my door like the Notre Dame "Play like a Champion Today" sign

[@acheveil]

lmaooo

[@digital360]

For us content creators who often forget what day it is, Nick comes in clutch to remind us its THURSDAY!

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

It's the only reason I can keep track of the days at this point

[@russelmalapitan]

Lucas, Andy and Anup? definitely YES!!!!

[@Ci77o]

the rhythm on the guitar reminds me of arms of sorrow by killswitch engage

[@johnholmeswebb8162]

I came here to say the same exact thing.

[@ZL1LoVeR]

MY MAN IS IN DEAREST WOOHOO 🙌🏽

[@ApoteosisGuitar]

I think this might be the Thick Riff anthem. The way it goes into the tapping chorus... God DAMN!! It slaps so fucking much. You're an endless source of inspiration

[@AlanRigdon]

I’ve built my life on those chords. Sounds sick dude and congrats on Dearest! 🤙🏽

[@batbeardscs]

8:50 I had an idea…well, I didn’t have the idea but I had the idea to come up with an idea! Classic!

[@aaronlawson203]

Did I hear your correctly? A band with anup? Anal pastry? Full seriousness. He's one of the best drummers. He doesn't get enough love.

[@camilla.e77]

Anup Sastry, Andy Cizek, and Lukas Guyader!

[@WombatThings]

@@camilla.e77absolutely stacked lineup

[@aaronlawson203]

Woah dude. That's gonna be wiiiiiild. He'll ya. Congrats nick!

[@tcgtornado7396]

But we're not here for a good time. We're here to write prog riffs. Best thing said in this video.

[@CthulDude]

Sithu Aye meets Scale the Summit. Good stuff, man!

[@wjesperson12]

Similar vibe to Thrice - The Melting Point Of Wax. More buttery and swag, of course 🤘

[@ericwinterspruce0110]

First time being here within an hour! TRT is my favorite series on the internet, and it's not close at all.

[@tylerpatterson3653]

such a passenger vibe, love it!

[@martinius4041]

Oh man, that's so amazing sound, just so beautiful

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks man!

[@rickjames5684]

These videos are a highlight of my week dude. Never stop being you.

[@davidxhodgkiss]

Such a sick episode, this kind of prog music reminds of a Napoleon

[@nathanstatham]

Chord progression slightly reminds me of Three-Fifty by Veil Of Maya. LOVE this riff this week man!

[@xtbirdboxtx2039]

Sounds freaking sick Nick! I am just now learning how to program drums and this definitely helps

[@jestrhead4873]

reminds me of intervals lock and key frfr edit: you got me repeating the riff over and over. it's so damn feel good man

[@aaronlawson203]

This reminds me of old intervals. Very aaron marshall feel. Sounds amzing

[@TorqueBow]

Nick, have been a fan since that Post Malone rockstar riff diddy you had so long ago. I’m more of a lurker on your channel, but always good to see a TRT on the feed.

[@levisalazar8031]

haha your high hat squeaking was cracking me up lol

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Good because it's driving me insane I've WD40'd it in like 3 different places

[@UndarZ]

@@nickbroomhallmusic DW40 isn't really for lubrication. (even if they claim it to be) It's a solvent and used for cleaning. Try an actual 3-1 lubricating oil. WD 40 just removes the grease from the metal and provides a "temporary" lubrication.

[@andrewsutton2266]

At 14:23 you can see his brain go "yeah this fucks"

[@buricaliskan]

daaamn the synth / lead combo sounds sick 😀 🔥

[@shatbratches]

I ALWAYS bust out the headphones for thiccc riff thursday

[@blakewalker6883]

Nick, watching these videos have inspired me to get back and write my own stuff. Thank you for that

[@jonasmoldov]

You my good sir, are good at music 🧐 (and so stoked on the news of Dearest!!!)

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks dude!

[@MelodicDishsoap]

Watching this at work

[@mjk9833]

12:20 that progression is pure god damn gold… im hyped for the new thick riff album!

[@FivesNZ]

This gives me BIG intervals vibes and I'm all for it! So glad I found your channel a month ago you always make my Friday morning great which is your thick riff Thursday 🤟

[@d4c4n]

Glad to hear the news about you joining Dearest. I've been a fan ever since I heard the Retrograde album for the first time and I'm excited about what's to come next :)

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Retrograde slaps

[@d4c4n]

@@nickbroomhallmusic Yeah man, that chorus in Corrode just hits differently.

[@MostMetalRowan]

I'll definitely be sure to follow Dearest now that you're there! Don't worry if you miss some TRT because of it :)

[@carazy123_]

Dude I had no idea about Dearest! Andy is my favorite vocalist and you're one of my favorite guitarists. That lineup is absolutely stacked. The tapping on this riff was so sick btw

[@vahle420]

Twisty fingies today, great voicings!

[@SteveBearscemi]

that hard chord around 7:30 is similar to one that Mike Stringer does in Perennial - Spiritbox. Such a pain to reach quickly and requires long fingers

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Love that song

[@joshuamansfield6651]

Can’t wait to hear this one as a fully finished song. Awesome work dude.

[@drabdadster0790]

I hope you keep expanding on this song, its kinda fucking beautiful

[@michaldivismusic]

Congrats! Also, Andy's in like 10 bands already I feel like 😁 what a beast...

[@ballerdbeats7720]

I'm so ready to hear what you put out with the band! keep ripping bro!

[@roulzhq]

Those lead taps sound awesome btw

[@SamBrockmann]

Thursdays are great days! Why? THICK RIFFS! 🤘🤘🎸🔥

[@johnholmeswebb8162]

This riff sounds like the breakdown part of Killswitch Engages "The Arms Of Sorrow".

[@Simon-gh6nz]

oh yeah this one is going on the album

[@Beadlock_]

an aboslute fist pump for when you mentioned Pasin and Scro! love that recognition

[@MichaelKhaimraj]

If/when you tour with Dearest I’m hitting any show I can feasibly reach. I saw Andy with Makari recently and knowing your riffs will be paired to his vocals might actually make me cry.

[@kyletraylor1003]

Absolute unit

[@glawio]

This song is actually giving early Novelists vibes

[@10000dollarpyramid]

Gonna need this on Spotify ASAP as possible

[@airguitar1321]

Getting big Electric Sunrise vibes

[@LewKenProductions]

My word.....you make me sick with these prog sessions. I've never simultaneously been inspired and wanted to quit all at the same time. Keep it up....probably the biggest highlight for my thursdays.

[@ZephDTD]

Reminds me alot of the endling explained ngl, very close but also very far from it. but absolutely smashed it as always! 🙏

[@LestatAlone]

If Dearest needs a bassist... 👀👀🙏🏻

[@heidegetreide]

Kinda reminds me of the afterimage somehow, love it

[@kadensabourin2571]

as the cool kids say, "oh boy when that harmony hit" DAYYUMMM

[@dizzengrey4901]

Oooh band!! Yes!! 🥳🤩 That highhat, needs some oiling 😆

[@lakselv3768]

Holy moly, you've got Anup as drummer? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid

[@awaitingtheday]

culture shock vibes? love it

[@haydenwilson470]

god damn it i love thursdays

[@DBIIIStudios]

We’re not here for a good time… we’re here to write prog riffs 😂

[@zaquemwhc]

Hekkin yeah best day of the week

[@nooneinparticular9868]

you know you can swear right....

[@zaquemwhc]

@@nooneinparticular9868 you know not everyone always feels the need to? I just like the word hekkin tbh

[@fredericgarceau1908]

full song friday🙌

[@mjk9833]

Bro needs some ballistol for that hihat stand 😂

[@KRISPCREAM]

Those min11 chords are delicious 😋

[@Hardiment123]

Very Electric Sunrise - Plini, love it.

[@BentleyWarner578]

dude this is crazy good like always!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@derekv9710]

This is top tier! Holy shite

[@jamesgphillips91]

Kaonashi uses a similar chord progression. Sounds great

[@FyreGod]

Another freaking BANGER

[@TenziaCore]

Brazzers ! ♪

[@dizgil6881]

it is thursday my dudes

[@owenkhan777]

Sikth mentioned !

[@lolnadroj]

Mile Zero chorus type riff

[@timcity]

giving heavy Intervals ... Aaron would fuck with this 10/10

[@apocalypsekid]

Gotta make a shirt saying should we harmonize?

[@Tomasz.skupin]

Best series on yt.

[@russelmalapitan]

i need that serum lead preset badly!!!

[@saaaaarizh]

it's so FK GOODDD

[@lukasguyader]

HELL YEAH BROTHER 🔥❤

[@uriionice13]

It reminds me a lot of belmont

[@lucarisucci]

I also said "that sucks" at 7:15 😅

[@lucarisucci]

on a real note tho, i tried fretting that chord and failed miserably lmfao

[@VisualzbyJ]

Can I request you write a dayseeker type song with a not so dayseeker Thicc riff this Thursday! If not then next!

[@jelfishery]

dude those chords are actually so wicked, do you know what they are and can you list them?

[@JoonBoxStudio]

Hello there, Nick! I was just wondering about the preset for the Serum... Did you create the serum yourself, or did you get the preset from somewhere else?

[@Karenagy]

Now the hardest thing for me is to NOT create Andy's voice on top of the riffs in my mind...

[@part-timeadult8981]

Scro ❤️

[@Joescanzillo]

Vibe

[@PhilMeadJams]

THIIIIRRSADAAYYYYYY

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

🥳🥳🥳

[@TheFourOnSix]

Any advice for a beginner metal guitarist on how to learn metal chords and theory? I've studied basic jazz comping but wanting to learn to play metal now.

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Tbh if you’re coming from jazz, most of the change will be in technique. Pick really hard, and tune low 😂 Also learn a bunch of songs and riffs!

[@TheFourOnSix]

@@nickbroomhallmusic thanks for the reply man. Love the channel. Love the content. Please keep it coming! Much love.

[@gemini6977]

Hey just a question. Does anyone know a similar program to what Nick has for a Windows computer?

[@elbow333]

Have you ever gone over your mastering chain in your videos?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

I think I went over it on the Christmas episode!

[@Swop88]

What Base plugin is that you use with MIDI?

[@camilla.e77]

🤩

[@bigsauce1116]

Fat riff Fridays coming when?

[@LTLdarylriffs]

Dude. How you do the half speed thing properly?

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

If it's just a quick little thing, I'll record a 4 bar phrase (for example), then use the flex tool to shrink it down to 2 bars using polyphonic mode. If the part I'm recording is longer, I'll turn on flex for all my tracks then literally slow the tempo of the project down to whatever I want to record at. Apparently you can also use varispeed but I've never tried it

[@roulzhq]

Wait. THAT Anup??

[@roulzhq]

Ah okay. It's also THAT Andy. Jesus that will be crazy

[@Ignoramuse]

Do u do opionions? Like if i sent you my bands music would you check it out? Also cant wait to see you in dearest

[@christopher-miles]

get a short scale so you play the voicings.

[@iskelae]

hi

So early 👀
