  • It's been a few weeks since the last episode of Sick Riffs, so we thought we'd bring the series back with a bang. Guitarist Jesse Cash joins us today to take you through the startlingly technical verse riff of Snowblood. We assure you, if you lock this one down, you'll have anyone who sees you play it in the palm of your hand.

    Sick Riffs is a Guitar World video series designed to help guitarists affected by the coronavirus. Self-isolating players around the world have each filmed a lesson where they teach you one of their own guitar riffs, up close and personal. If you dig the lesson, we encourage you to buy music and merch from the artist or stream their music.

      @@sarcasm4371 happy to see Alan get some love, he has had such a personalized and unique sound from the very beginning. You could always tell which songs were predominantly written by him and I also thought it was sick that he occasionally contributed harsh vox.
      On a personal note he wrote the song Heart about losing his dad and I lost mine when I was 16 so I always felt a connection there.

      @@slyholio Yeah, Heart hit so differently when I read the lyrics and found out it was about Alan's father. And his vocals on Impulse really added so much to that album, having three different people contribute to the band's voice makes it feel so much more alive. I felt a connection with ERRA ever since I listened to Eye of God when I discovered them in 2019, their music just does something that no other band can for me. The Artificials are really enjoyable to listen to, hearing Alan's guitarwork is so special.

Wanted to meet Jessie so bad but, brought my 17 year old step daughter with no cultural experience in other music, first metal show. She fell in love more than I thought. I said come on let's go meet them. And she had a panic attack speaking so goofy and freaking out.."noooo, he can't...'choke, unrecognizable speech, choke, blah blah,... He can't see me!! OMG Ray no he can't...I can't have him look at me!! Please!! I'm not dressed proper enough even"
    I said: proper? WTF your dressed fine this is a metal.... Omg, you develop a crush already? On him? Really? Cool... Let's go. Meet him then.
    Then while bunch of pleading.. So didn't get the chance. She was so embarrassed or whatever she was nearly having an anxiety attack. Lol... Missed my chance to meat one of my fav guitarists! So underrated!!

      This is probably the first time ever he had to consider what frets he was hitting lol
      Being someone who's played for as long as I can remember. Teaching people to play songs is a difficult task, especially when you have a song like this with 50 different fret hits in one riff LMAO

      I think you have a misunderstanding in the definition of music and noise...
      Anyways, everything has to do with the conception of music and melody that the "modern" music (not all of course but most) lacks

      @@invay69 Sure, I agree. But Impulse and Augment are two of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my life, and I've heard plenty of the old and new. Those albums definitely do not lack the conception of music and melody. Some of the best guitarwork and song structures out there.
