- I love me some breakdowns. That tight rhythmic cohesion really scratches my brain nicely. Thanks for watching.

Alex: Some of these would not be feasible to fit in a song...
Four Year Strong: it's okay, I got you bro
EXACTLY
I was thinking the same thing, I also can't really tell why he thinks it isn't feasible to make these into songs. He could make a whole album just expanding on these riffs, use one for each song lmao. 5 was my far my favorite one :)
HAHAHAHAH RIGHT????????
FYS: Hold my beer...
Lol such a great and true statement
That was just 10 Four Year Strong songs...I'm pretty sure...
Lol Tempo needs cranked to 100 then yes. FYS is like if ADHD was a band
ROFL....so stink'n true...
Dont fix it if it hasn't broken yet!
@@CthulhuXVX under appreciated reply lmao
I thought this was just a FYS greatest hits tribute.
Easycore with complicated riffs is called hardsycore
difficore
Ots called four years strong
with all the pop punk and easycore cancellations lately it should be called handsycore
more like "hardlycore"
@@reagan3760lulz
The new New Found Glory album sounds pretty sick
Funny thing is this is probably way better than anything nfg have put out since Not Without a Fight haha
I don’t know man, radiosurgery was pretty good.
@@TheProblemchild2009 what are you smoking? NFG are kings and are always on point
@@artichoke1133 they have definitely slipped
I have been saying every single NFG since sticks and stones they have never made a bad record
In a new song we're writing, we transition out of a breakdown into the main riff using the "leave no fret untouched." My drummer asked me how to play it and I said "3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12"
That dissonance sound was AMAZING. I need to hear more like this
just seems like core with a shoegaze influence
Underoath - 'They're Only Chasing Safety' and 'Define The Great Line' from 2006 and 2008, so they're old, but amazing still.
Yeah like that other guy said you should just listen to older Underoath
Truly, your dissonance style is very much a part of my songwriting...which I have to credit to Hum, Helmet, Trust Co. and the like. Awesome as always, Alex.
Bitswood- Beacon in the Sky👀
Well now I need an Alex Melton Easycore album...
I would listen the hell out of that
I didn't realize this sound even had a name. All of this just sounded like Yellowcard's Lift A Sail album, and I am INTO THAT.
Get into Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!
@@JTR_3 Holy crap man. Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! are phenomenal! Thank you for the recommendation!!
Yall gotta check out Settle Your Scores too!
@@JTR_3 hey dudes are you ready to!
@@aidanhennebry check out Abandoned by Bears as well
Belmont's got a whole bunch of these in their songs, I love it.
"Bass Player Wasn't In The Writing Session" actually sounds SO clean
Every one of these is a bang! Well done Alex
Best easycore albums in my opinion
Set Your Goals-Mutiny! (2006)
Four Year Strong-Rise or Die (2007)
Bangarang!-Frozen Over, First in Line (2007)
Chunk! No Captain Chunk!-Something for Nothing (2010)
Me vs Hero-Days that Shape our Lives (2010)
The Wonder Years- Get Stoked on It! (2007)
Mutiny is so fuckin' great
Something For Nothing is the best easycore album hands down.
Both albums by Across The Atlantic are absolutely god tier albums
Check out The Wilderness by Settle your Scores... also Better Luck Tomorrow by Settle Your Scores
subdivision had me DYING. So many times in deadspace im like... IS THIS THE SPOT WHERE IS IT SOMEONE SEND ME A SIGN
RELATABLE 😂😂😂
This was awesome. Great riffs and production!
I feel at once so incredibly intimidated and inspired.
Love the video. Love your music. Love all these riffs. ;)
Can someone please send me a list of bands that sound like this? I absolutely love this sound.
Belmont is my personal fav, they match this sound to a t. four year strong is a close second
Damn. Beat me to it. Belmont is amazing. Their drummer is def going places.
Bilmuri has quite a few songs like this too.
@@JordanCrawford12 oh yeah dude 1000%, and bilmuri is just plain rad. Johnny is my musical spirit animal at this point lmao. You should also check out a band called shrezzers, they have a bitchin saxophone player that lays down super dope solo's in the middle of their songs
Chunk no captain chunk..ur welcome
Dude, this is amazing. lol So many great riffs.
Very cool!!! Keep these coming, nice new kind of videos right here.
such a cool riffs dude!
Nice. I know this is tongue in cheek a bit, but it all actually sounds good. Honestly more interested with whats going on in the backing track guitar parts. Any chance there's Alex Melton tabs floating around somewhere? Maybe he offers them through Patreon or something?
these were so fun to listen to, huge inspo, thank you!
Yo, these are hype! I love Easycore. It's my favorite genre to play on guitar for sure.
Number three is a beast of a riff, I'd listen hell out of it if it were a song! Mad respect!
You’re the man for this 😆😆😆😆 love it!
It is clear you are not only talented but take a lot of time/put in the work to develop technically and pick up on details. I wish you luck in music!
This video made me want to go back and listen to Fang Island for the first time in years. Thank you for that. Good stuff!
The breakdowns, the facial expressions... the whole thing, a class act sir. 👌
damn had no idea I loved easycore so much, every riff sound so good :D
Holy sick, number 5 was catchy af!
EASYCORE! YESSS! FINALLY!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO 💖
As usual you've knocked it out of the park.
Love this! Also that Yamaha Revstar rips. I've been eyeing them since they came out. Probably will try to look for a used on now.
underrated as always! well executed!
5 made me smile, that's a fun riff!
awesome sounds, mate
You're hands are magic. I don't think I've ever encountered a more versatile guitarist acing so many genres.
ur a legend. all these are amazing 😂
I loved this way too much
MORE OF THESE PLEASE ❤️
Loving this!
Loved the rhythm on the gallop riff!!
Dude the "Dissonance" riff is very good. I'd love to hear you build that one out.
Dude, I love the drumming. Can you do a video that features how you create the drum parts?
Basically just program the kick to match the guitar. Add the snare appropriately (usually when there’s a pause). Then add some kind of cymbal to keep steady time.
@@247Boredable you massively oversimplified the snare work
@@leviathan3630 Just put snare on 2 and 4, sprinkle in ghost notes, then put a few in wherever the melody part gets most intense, in sync with the melody.
@@browncoat697 Yeah that's much better
“I find your lack of squeals disturbing.”
- Four Year Strong, probably
But also this is just damn near perfect.
"Pop-Punk-with-Breakdowns-and-Gratuitous-Harmonic-Squeals" is literally my favourite genre!!
This is soooooooo good. 🔥
It's been like a year since I saw this video and no 4. Leave No Fret Untouched still crops up in my head. That riff really was a banger man.
Dude, I'm sitting here typing on the exact same keyboard you have. Great choice! It's my favorite mechanical keyboard by far!
You do everything well but easycore is your sweet spot. MORE PLEASE
My favorite sub genre of all time!
Love the Dissonance
I'm only one minute in and had to pause to say thanks for making this lmao. Good stuff
I loved number 3, what can I say? I'm a sucker for dissonance.
Noise rock gang wya?
Three gets my vote.
Foo Fighters really does a good dissonant chord!
Can u please suggest a song or a band that sound like that. thanks!
@@amielgarcia8865 Check out The Bled. Not exactly the same, but excellent dissonant style.
@@amielgarcia8865 This is used a lot in post-hardcore bands like Saosin, Ghost Atlas, Underoath, Circa Survive, etc.
This is awesome. City Lights vibes!
All of these riffs are pretty awesome
legendary... love
love it!
I literally hear an awesome song in every one of these. 🤘
Nice revstar, I’ve got the same one in green. Love that thing
soo awesome man :)
"Where's the downbeat?" almost had be split out my lunch.
This is great.
God I love this so much 😍😍
Your shit is awesome dude!!! I’m here for it every fucking time!! Love it, Keep it up! 🔥🔥
I loved #3 Dissonance so much!
Must have gone back and listened to #3 ten times. So good.
If FYS needs a third guitarist then Alex is their guy! Seriously speaking these are some amazing riffs you SHOULD use in songs. Bonus points for wearing short shorts while filming this :D That's a super easycore thing to do.
Sick man !
Brilliant.
You are my favorite professor.
All of those were pretty fun. I'd love to see you actually incorporate them into a full song.
Those are awesome
Carousel Kings vibes love it! 🤙🏻
the dissonace section sounds so sick
Wow, so beutiful tone , brother 🤙
These are all great riffs!
Yeap, Four Year Strong first comes to mind.
Then City Lights, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk, Abandoned by Bears, This Wild Life (old version), Set Your Goals, Belmont, Neck Deep and of course New Found Glory!
Amazing
Holy cannoli, dude. This is awesome!
Love it
loove easycore, genuinely going to try this.
Wait, what!? You're giving us the cheat codes ... now, if only I had a tenth of your talent I *might* be able to use them.
You're awesome, Alex! :)
Let's Bounce, Ride Into Battle and The Gallop were all fucking sick! I felt Subdivisions deep down, flashbacks to recording sessions! :P
Would you mind doing a video on your guitar gear/set ups? Those tones are all spot on.
Man, number 3 (dissonance) is a killer riff!!!! My favourite!
that was fun thank you :)
I love the Dissonance! :D
Riff 3 is fire! 🔥
cool man!!!
Alex my man, I would love to see you do a cover of a song from chunk no captain chunk
that was actually fun!
The absolute best subgenre.
Tooootally gonna use some of these for my band’s next EP
This one was great number 1. 3. And 6 were it those ones in songs boiii
Who else is going to listen to Four Year Strong after watching this video 🙋🏾♂️
3 should be used later also. That's dope
8 would be a kickass intro breakdown fr fr
That was fun,
Bro I may meed to borrow ome pr two of these for a song idea 😉 Thank you for being so inspirational already my first time watching you! Definitely just got a new sub
Number 5 is totally good for a song!
love this happy underoath entire genre hahah
