  • Have you ever written a riff that you want to expand on but just can't seem to come up with anything different?
    🤘 Mastermind courses for metal musicians. Whether you're a guitarist, beginner, vocalist, want to get into recording and production, theory, and more here:
    metalmastermin...
    In this video, we show you 7 guitar methods you can use (for just one riff) to make it into different riffs, and even for different styles and metal sub-genres.
    We start with a simple riff. In fact, it's only 3 chords. And we start with the basics of power chords and palm muting (the heavy chugging!).
    After that, we start adding more techniques to come up with several variations of this one riff.
    We hope you enjoy this video and please give it a thumbs up and make sure you're subscribed to the Metal Mastermind RUclips channel!

    This here is really what separates the channel from others... He gives you a solid scaffold to ground you and then actually suggests the best ways to build on top of that without getting lost so you're not all at sea. Kudos sir. You could literally write an album of songs just with this one video!
    Other channels would maybe provide a scaffold and then just leave you to it with no direction.

    Seriously underrated channel. Thank you Sir! Awesome video, so interesting to hear the potential of one riff?! Love the black metal-style tremolo picking version 👏

    I think the great thing about this channel and the people involved is the humble approach taken. I've taken time to listen to Jason and Ken's music, and it is pretty bloody good. That these guys and the team are encouraging people to craft their own sound is very uplifting!

    You can also harmonize with different octaves. Solid riff(s) by the way!

    Sick video Jason, I've loved your videos and they've helped me immensely in coming up with my own riffs and combining them into songs. This one is the cherry on top!
    Thanks for this! Have a good one.

      I still don't know how to play. I learned solely on making writing my own. Never learned covers except maybe small pieces to learn a technique, but that's about it. Don't know the name of notes or chords besides your very basic. I play until it sounds good 🤷

    Dude, I stumbled onto your channel four days ago. Even as a dedicated bass player I've learned more than in the last few years.
    I know it's a different video, but you have , hands down, the best Circle of Fifths explanation EVER.
    Thank you from possibly your newest subscriber.

    All good points and definitely helps on the creativity, especially when you’re in the groove and playing well. Those techniques open up the door for other new riffs. Nice video.

    • @metalmastermind
      @metalmastermind  11 месяцев назад +6

      I don’t base any riff or licks on scales; it’s not something I think about at all. It’s just going off what I’m hearing in my head and translating that to the fretboard
