Me take a joke i was fucking joking also yall honestly think i give two shits what this dude says about a country being petty and Poop slammer fuck you your the ignorant fuck before you go and say shit find out the facts 👌
These videos are honestly so useful. Thanks a lot Nik. Everytime you make a video like this, I actually learn a lot and start playing with the tips. Wish you were my guitar teacher.
I really found this video pretty useful. The only problem I have is writing a pre-breakdown riff. I’ve never found a good way to write one and all my songs feel incomplete without one
1) Just gotta say I love this "how to". For other things... obvious one would be solos, but also how about chord progressions, intros, something about drums, and maybe one on mixing and the like. Just my 2 cents. 2) Maybe it was just the key/scale but the combined version at the end was really showing that Dmitry Demyanenko/Shokran influence there.
Beautiful Schecter there. I just picked myself up a satin crimson red bust with sustainiac and it is another favorite of mine. I still have a lot of practice to do in order to make it sound like yours 😅 Also, this video helped me write drums for a breakdown I’m working on so double thank you for that.
@@truedarklander It's a similar sort of sound though, pretty sure it's called a harmonic rake, I'm still trying to get used to doing them in my playing.
@@nope110 The rake can be done even if there's no harmonics. Unlike with harmonic sweeps you can move your left hand and you get the same sound with more harmonic mess.
huh i actually had no idea the tapping sound achieved that sound when played like that layered o_O thanks for this man! it was a ton of fun to try out! also now there's firetrucks outside my house O_O
How to make amazing solos WITHOUT SHREDDING I’m not an amazing guitarist, I can play some 16th notes here and there, but not much more than that. I still want to create amazing metal solos though, can you help me out?
Honestly, brush up on solo writing (note choice for chords) cause with fewer notes you're going to have to make your notes count rather than relying on 32nd notes. Also remember the lead guitar is only one aspect of your songs, so mix up rhythm section, for example doing the first part of a solo with the rhythm in 8th notes then a second part with either 16th or 32nd notes (use double-bass and tremolo picking) will make the section seem faster even if you're not changing the speed of your soloing
Dude no bullshit this video really really helps with 4e wording like lowfi trick..I'm a musician of 18 yrs but nee to re wording my own music as I always had a studio or label give me a studio at despoil never had to do it myself an I wish I learned sooner..much love homie pineapple..??.. lemonsssss
Definitely do more! Really anything deathcore. Maybe some humanity's last breath style? Like how they do the random ass bends that shouldn't make sense but they work. I'd love to see a video on how to get that thought of melody out of your head and doing sporadic deathcore stuff.
*Slavic Nik meme has been fully embraced...*
*Dahh*
Please never use your "normal" voice again.
Wait, you' re slav?
Nik Nocturnal are you Russian?
I didn’t know that it was “slavic voice” before this video)
There was no one Adidas or squat SLAV IS FALSE.....sarah says hi
Plot twist, this is the only video without Nik using an accent.
;)
🤔😂
666th like. Metal....
This is the first video i have seen by him. And thought his accent was fake but not sure! Still made me laugh!
That'd be fuckin spectacular and explain so much at the same time lol

Beeg blyat breakdown lol
@@NikNocturnal father
Can't forget the most important part of making a breakdown
the "BLLYYAAATTT"
We need more Soviet Nocturnal.
an obsessive amount of feel in just a breakdown...you'r truly one of my all time favourite writers.
Breakdowns just aren't heavy enough unless you're wearing a gray tshirt and tight ripped jeans
gotta have a Russian accent and a water bottle too
Well of course
Maybe a red boiler suit
"Boom, Dissonance." I want that on a tee shirt. XD
*The accent cured my depression*
;)
I think it helps fs
2:52 That sounds A LOT like Periphery, must be used a lot in their songs 🤘
22 faces
video idea: “how to *enter band name here* 101”
I've thought about that actually but the Vow of Volition guy does it super well and I don't think I could do it much better tbh
@@NikNocturnal those boys are a local band in my city seen them a couple times nice to know others watch them
Blyaat
You could also do the dissonance and add a tritone above the higher note, and arpeggiate it. Sanction does it in a lot of their breakdowns
I hope someone makes a compliation of nicks intro
Will be on that at some point
actually, one guy's making that but postpones this because every intro is better and better and he just can't end adding them
Maybe at 100,000...

Thank YOU for watching!
PLEASE more of these how to videos, this was insanely helpful. If possible, I'd love to see more about writing for rythm guitar players

This is Niks real accent.
That accent is everything
Canadian, eh?
Thanks Jonnie!
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 I'm Canadian and I approve of that joke.
Please more this type of videos. Maybe different types of riffs and solos and leads or choruses and verses and intros.
Great idea!
You had me at "Music Majors" lmao

Aha she isn't, but she would probably just be laughing at me the whole time
" I will butcher right now" Haha!

First video I've seen of this guy, definitely earnt a sub!!!
Instructions unclear
I had a mental breakdown instead
I really found this video pretty useful. The only problem I have is writing a pre-breakdown riff. I’ve never found a good way to write one and all my songs feel incomplete without one
For the harmonic sweep, if you angle your pick so the thin side is basically scraping the strings, it gives the Gojira sound.
Don't have to use harmonics for this. Just mute your strings and scrape away
the combined breakdown was so sick.
That ending breakdown was brootal. But the Reengs of Satorn riff did not fiet to meh..
I cans do Russian accent.
Dis iz terriblul repersentation of Russia kultur. Ju must feel the blyat
I trust your content so much that I like videos before even watching them
Rhythmic flavors is my personal favorite type of breakdown
Nik Nocturnal: ...pinch harmonics

That was one of the best breakdowns I've heard
First fret bends and harmonic sweeps? Joe Duplantier?
Exactly what I was thinking
He doesn't do harmonic sweeps, he does a type of rake
@@truedarklander It's a similar sort of sound though, pretty sure it's called a harmonic rake, I'm still trying to get used to doing them in my playing.
@@truedarklander Its just a Harmonic sweep but he rakes it, same technique different picking
@@nope110 The rake can be done even if there's no harmonics.

That triplet example breakdown sounds great
Been hanging a lot with Dmitry lately, haven't you?
I wish, dude is a legend
I wish I could hang with both of them xD
haha the lo fi reminds me of the hey mister opening, once the drop chords come in, the mids are lost there in the background. exactly.
I don't understand, its either russian or scottish accent Nik is making here XD
''Sounds like fire truck coming to getchu'' I lost my shit right there LMAO...
Now that,
was a good video
6:34 sounds just like something periphery would do and that's enlightened me as to just how fuckin creative that band is haha
Sounds like he played Metro Exodus 😂😂😂
Maaan i looooved that video
Can u make a video on how to broaden our mind structure borders in order to play more creative solos
I thought the title said: How to make amazing mental breakdowns 😆
Nik man you are an absolute master, every video has me requiring to pick my jaw up off the floor! A true inspiration.

You’d need like 4 guitarists to perform this live. Or a backing track
Not really, and besides, it's Covid times now so the already unlikely odds of actually playing live are next to nothing now
Lmaoo no you fucking don’t 😂
Well youd need 3 at least. One for the break down one for the ambiance one for the little lofi lick he had going in the background.
Some cool tapping and some run step by step lessons would be amazing.
One of my favorite breakdowns was in Domination by Pantera
I like really chuggy breakdowns
Big thanks man, we need to more videos like this!! Good work!
Gosh I'm heterosexual and I'm in love with this informed skit
Badass breakdown of how to break down a breakdown.
