writing riffs is fuckin easy, i want to know how you turn 30 seconds of riff into a song without the next bit you play sounding like it doesn't match
I SEE 1984 AND FAIR WARNING BACK THERE
Call me a poser, but playing metal with a birdy inlayed guitar doesn't make any sense for me, I hate PRS even on Marty Friedman…
dang kyle gass lost a lot of weight…
cough cough Slipknot

I like to use scales when i'm writing riffs (natural minor, harmonic minor and phrgyian dominant most of the time). I take my low e (or sometimes d if i'm in drop d) as my route and then play the scale in that key on the a string (use power chords or octaves to give those notes more life) put the low string (the route) in between some octaves or power chords i play on the a string and boom there is a cool riff. Adding harmonics and using different time signatures may make it more intersting too. Experiment and see if this method works for you.
fucking hell this is a top off, this is a riff commonly used in metal songs for a bridge, no originality at all. seriously, if noone can see that then your musical genius is being fooled by this bullshit. listen to 80's metal bridges and see how close this is. GOD DAMN
whats the name of that prs? and what amp are you using? please let me know and thank you
How about drop tune that E-String please!
How to write a riff:
get good at guitar first, cover some songs, then use the technique that you've learned and just play shit until it sounds good.

Black Fucking metal!
…for like half a second, but still
that low end is so fucking sloppy
That riff sucks tho let's be honest
I've been trying to figure out how to make my guitar squeal like that and I just so happened to click on your vid for making songs. You are so awesome
Should be called how to write Metal if your still living in the 80s.
Please re title this to be metal riff not metal song a riff is one minor part in a song
This dude sounds like a skinny Kyle Gass
Intro sounds like the riff from go to hell
Not all chords are minor if the key is minor lol…
Prs are the best lookin guitars today
One problem I always have is accidentally hitting a harmonic then I get more mad when I can't figure that harmonic out for the beginning of a different riff (I like having three different sounding and style of riffs in each song I write other than one riff). This lesson helped me out a lot on how to better write something in without the harmonic issue.
PRS 513…
Dat PRS
It's like a younger, thinner Cage from tenacious D
The problem im having is getting real clarity and presence from my guitar riffs through FL Studio. Im a complete noob when it comes to DAW's and EQ'ing tracks, I am a guitar player and thats all, anybody know any tricks? I bought the T-racks VST/Addon for FL Studio, apparently this can really brighten and present your guitar tracks, anybody know how I can best do this? Ill be adding it over the top of some rather noobish made drum tracks via ezdrummer and emulated bass tracks using Amplitube 3 Ampeg so I only really want to focus the guitar tracks, the rest of the instruments are just to hold down the beat/timing as I dont play drums and bass so cannot really get creative with those instruments.
Also if you wipe some earwax on your pick ups it helps tremendously.
Total canine feces. Embrace the rainbow.
This is kind of a generic slow head bang rhythm….got any lessons as how to write more like Trivium or As I Lay Dying? I need tips on more modern style.
that is an awesome guitar
Neal, what model PRS is that? Those pickups/covers look awesome.
Great vid
Thanxs lesson was real helpful but would it kill u to put som mid into ur sound ????? Sounds a lil over distorted
it's hard to punctuate when you're pissed
Thank you! 🙂
Cool
where are your vids ? .. Fucking hater… -.-
Alabama thunder fuck
More gain for better sustain but a better quality guitar helps too. As for feedback, stand next to the amp with high gain.
Woooowww chillaxx duuudee… this is very helpfull for basic metal players . why dont you do a free guitar lesson then if your so greate ???
This helps me with writeing metal rifts i use a 7 string but i also use a lot of palm mutes in my rifts
Hey thnx for the lesson it really helped me with songwriting. Love what you are doing.
If you're going to try and insult someone online, at least use full stops and commas. Dipshit.
sorry man
Thanks man!
haha, wow! I've never seen someone get so angry at a guitar lesson video before.
Possibly a better amp for sustained notes, or a compressor/sustainer from Boss. Feedback, you'd have to have really high distortion and/or volume. If using single coils, the feedback will be easier to obtain than with humbuckers.
