[@orlandomachado1165]

[@ChristopherOdd]

[@kadensabourin2571]

GUYS, THIS IS EPISODE 50!!! Thick riff Thursday EP season 2 soon?

[@claytonbking]

This is one of my favorite Thick Riff Thursdays yet 😮‍💨

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks broooo 🙏

[@crewd00d]

This riff kinda gives me old Erra vibes

[@pouchairsoft]

huge drift album vibes

[@808berg]

At 12:47 I was full expecting you to say "Some....BODY once told me" lol, great stuff as always brother

[@en0tfed]

Glad to see I wasn't the only one.

[@danielspektor]

haha same

[@Trad_Baylor]

It’s really cool to see you thinking through things and the raw talent that’s at play here, even in the non-cohesive moments.

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@Trad_Baylor]

​@@nickbroomhallmusic You are welcome! I was thoroughly entertained for all 14 mins, and that is rare. Even with my millennial attention span! You inspired me to create something.

[@thevishyfishy]

these videos are the BEST on youtube to learn composition for metal and djent. you are so awesome man

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thank you so much man!!

[@pouchairsoft]

the intro gives big sleepless deathbed vibes - love it!!

[@Seagmoney]

End it with a huge breakdown please

[@Seagmoney]

I beg uou

[@michaeldeane6102]

Fuckin love these vids man never stop!!!

[@NotDazed]

i love it when you fill me up with your thick riffs

[@Im_Not_A_Dad]

Dude, that tapping part was so clean…

[@ARC_Projects]

Also love this chord, you 100% used it in your “Voicenotes” TRT session I believe. It would be cool to try and blend this idea with that one in some way!! 👀

[@itdwellswithin]

Really vibed with this one! So flow-y! The riffage is awesome!🔥

[@isaiahcervantes4438]

Every Thursday I look forward to two things. Band practice with my band and a Thick Riff Thursday video by Nick Broomhall!

[@nikosmusic]

Some sweet Modern Day Babylon vibes from this one, love it!

[@dcfromthev]

As a long time guitar player and writer, who has been in a rut for like a decade, this is so inspiring to watch and listen to! I have to admit, I think the biggest hurdle for me is being completely overwhelmed by all the software and specialized knowledge to use them properly. I end up avoiding recording altogether as a result, paralysis by analysis kind of thing. Recently started learning Reaper and EZD3 and the learning curve is steep, wish I never took a hiatus because I am worried I'll never have the time to get proficient at everything. Life got busy and I have way too many interests to dedicate myself to music the way I did when I was in my early 20's. Anyway, thanks for reading my rant! Music is life!

[@Groteploscky]

This riff is a banger! Amazing, Nick! ♥

[@Whoiskilli]

it would be cool to see you do like a heavy shoegaze type thick riff Thursday. In the style of Loathe or sumthin

[@oliblackwell3020]

This was such a great riff. After an insane week, a well needed Thick Riff Thursday what what I needed

[@lukemeeker4472]

Nick! So happy to see your following continue to grow. You are awesome and inspiring. I share your content with everyone I know will appreciate it. Thank you and keep it up brother!

[@christopherhogg-kt8dd]

I’ll be honest, I usually drink a couple cups of coffee before I plan on coming up with something. Puts the mind in overdrive lol

[@phantom69uk]

Thursday is quickly becoming my favourite night of the week thanks to Thick Riff Thursday! Love these videos Nick, thank you. I’m a relative newcomer to your channel so have loads of your content to binge!

[@mwylie1085]

very currents-y riff...i love it!

[@ShephrdWieb]

how are you not at 100k? the content you make is so underrated.

[@Karenagy]

so good to see you proud of yourself with the tapping 😂 amazing dude! one of my favs episodes for sure!! much love from brazil 💜

[@jaydenrobertson-zr9fu]

you know that feeling when a riff hits you so frickin hard that your speechless, as soon as those bass drops hit I had that feeling, this was definitely one of my favourites

[@Sutefusama]

That tapping more clean than my bedroom studio after a new chair delivery. The entire riff is so good !

[@derekv9710]

I need thick riffs and Thursdays to be everyday of the week 😂 killer job per usual!

[@ARC_Projects]

Coffee riffs are superior riffs. That’s just how the universe works. ☕️

[@BentleyWarner578]

This riff is insane dude 🔥🔥🔥🤘

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks man!

[@charizardmaster13]

old P2 vibes for this one. instantly hits me in the feels

[@gibsonboy54]

Wow this is your best one yet. Keep it up brother look forward to these every Thursday

[@itsamemario4]

Thanks for the weekly inspiration

[@TheNathanman]

I need this as a full song !!!

[@LimitlessPotential12]

MAN FIRST OF ALL That shit is crazy. ALSO you have never mentioned them but I can`t just not see the Volumes influence in your riffs and the chord voicing you use. This riff sounds like something straight out of VIA. Great stuff man

[@RyanNL99]

sick riff man, really enjoyed this episode!

[@NadaXVII]

Yoooo this totally sounds like a sequel to Voicenotes

[@nolainnogain]

Bro this shit always hits so hard!

[@ModernBuilds]

🔥🔥🔥

[@tombosixer7342]

You make it look super easy.

[@MajsoSVK]

It is like old Bulb's track :D Love it

[@SCMUSICREPORT]

Sooo gooooood 🔥

[@aaroncourier6452]

such a great riff god damn 🔥

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks!!

[@stephenblack9843]

I had no idea guys tracked like this these days. I'd still be sitting trying to actually play all the parts

[@skychamber_studios]

I can’t help but think that this is what Dave Matthews would sound like if he went djent, and I’m totally here for it

[@udeathwish4013]

After the Burial vibesss ❤️‍🩹

[@ranok9534]

Such a fun riff!

[@_rekak]

thursday is the best day of the week now

[@realMypholis]

Gotta expand on that SAPCEY LEAD. That sounds so good.

[@DroneTheDruid]

Ayyyyye. Good thing my bday fell on a Thursday this year

[@thomasgendron3875]

tapping makes me think of polaris, but this is definitely Erra sounding

[@danydzn]

this riff is amazing

[@zyphonoxy]

“I guess I have to be good at guitar” 😂

[@Justin-ax]

My boy already at 27k subs what a chad

[@uddhav1080]

god YESSS! EACH TRt episode drops when i finish my last period of the day, so i spend stufyt hall watching TRT its great

[@gnn0]

For the next TRT I want it to be called Nick Broomthall

[@entruvia]

This is the primo djent tasties we've been needing

[@blindwolfoc]

This one was sooo good

[@Simon-gh6nz]

this one going on the album

[@chrismoorephotos]

I want this on Apple Music!!!!! 😂

[@SteeleMusic574]

Dope!

[@commandererwin7523]

when you have to do takes like the tapping fill where you wanted to use a fret wrap you could use tape to tape off the strings you don't have open notes on and still have your other strings muted

[@ColtonMetal]

You always write the best riffs, such a beast. I would love to see you cover the new Willow Smith song - symptom of life. Its in 7/4 with minor chords resolving to majors. Its ripe for a Nick Broomhall cover

[@johnny_b_dude]

Now this one is a slapper

[@c0wboy422]

You should make a semi in-depth run through of logic

[@mikeratliff2812]

A bass drum paradiddle would go well with this guitar rythm

[@osvaldolopez6109]

Good shit

[@metalmoto3275]

Oh boy here we go again

[@Lol-pb9bx]

2 more episodes from a year.

[@Ghostbearstudios]

Yet another banger

[@bigal5747]

Dude hell yes

[@spencerzoppoth719]

sounds like a new Belmont song.

[@theriffdjenerator2213]

I usually line up my playing before a gym session with pre workout.. That's some caffeine to get you creative

[@steeleemedia9417]

Very early erra and some veil of maya vibes rn lovin it

[@jeffneiman4635]

HOLY CHORD! Pause at 2:31.

[@AaronCanDraw]

Does anyone else go to the end to hear the full riff then go back to see how it was made?

[@andrewg6720]

covfefe is always a good time before a writing session

[@kadensabourin2571]

Bro coffee is actually a cheat code

[@Citadelband530]

Some......body!!!!!!!

[@benhagan]

Thick riffffff!!!!!

[@michaelboone8039]

What are your favorite pickups? Are you using the Kiesel ones? The polarities are my favorite from them so far.

[@yayanlowgran]

Nick, if. You need coffee to do thick riff Thursday, cut down the caffeine!!!!! Pleaasee!!!

[@yayanlowgran]

As someone who cut out caffeine, you don't and won't need it once you are clear! The riffs will come easier without ❤❤

[@Darkest_of_Winter]

I guess I gotta be good at guitar 😂🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

[@jacobjaeger23]

Did you dial in a new tone on Archetype Nolly? Cause this tone is heavy and bonkers! Congratulations on 50 episodes!

[@Kousha_baranniy]

🤘🏻💥🔥🔥🔥

[@noahsisco9228]

would you please post a link to those risers and impacts that you use? they sound so sick

[@crewd00d]

Caffeine definitely gives a boost to writing and production, but guys: wait til you discover kratom and it's effects on making music

[@TylerSmithMusic1]

Keaton is very addictive be careful.

[@crewd00d]

@@TylerSmithMusic1 I've been drinking a couple grams per day for about 5 years. It's replaced alcohol and drastically reduced my caffeine consumption

[@TylerSmithMusic1]

@@crewd00d I’m happy to hear that. Moderation is key. But it’s still a substance that can be addictive to some. Just looking out not condescending friend ❤️

[@jacko4858]

This gives me hella Erra vibes

[@gabrielcifolelli620]

All the thick riff Thursdays are good but this one is SO good. Nick, have you ever posted the full specs on this guitar? I am looking to buy a 7 string and your tone in this guitar is incredible. Kiesel Thorium in the bridge....What pickup do you have in the neck? Is the body of the guitar a Kiesel?

[@jerryfick8547]

Go Reds!!!

[@oz.faemine]

Nick can you please share the guitar tone preset with among us mortal beings... it sounds sick...

[@Rowanexen]

I had to stop drinking coffee for the safety of everyone around me 😂

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

😂

[@joshtorresfdu6621]

Exactly what I just started doing punching in guitars myself I can play it well enough live but I want the record to be A1 lol, my hands on drums are decent but I punch in the kicks too lmao

[@theperiidot]

somebody give nick a double kick pedal

[@marshallcreates_]

Bro can you please make a video on how to set up the shinzbass in logic. I just purchased mine. Could you go over how to set it up and make it easily used in the midi piano roll?

[@joshdarst598]

RAKE FRALEY WILL RAKE TODAY IN HONOR OF THICK RIFF THURSDAY

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

And rake he did 🙌

[@JerrodNunnellyMusic]

Metal bill Hader?....Hello?

[@nickdownard2672]

How can I get a lesson on the chord voicing you use? Is there a place where you put tabs out for this stuff? You should do some lesson videos!

[@MichaelKhaimraj]

Video that won’t see the light of day you say? Anyone for a BTS Saturday every couple of weeks?
