@@ChaseThePinballWizard yes, Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath) is one of my favorite Black Sabbath songs, especially on the album Black Sabbath
@@creepysplatter9260 yeah it all depends on placement and how you use them in a song for sure. I'm a doom metal musician and theres many tropes in that genre I cant get enough of. Sabbath paved the way and i show my love for that by writing riffs that take inspiration from the really good stuff they've done that I enjoy
A trope and a cliché are totally different concepts. Tropes are things that people use to define a genre. A cliché is an idea that used to be a novelty, but it got so overused that people associate with uninspired/generic. For instance when Michael Jackson released "black or white" there was a breakdown where he started rapping for one bar; that got copied so many times it became a cliché.
I really really love it when content creators have a promo that actually correlates to their content. Thanks Bradley!!! I’m gonna impress my step mom with these
1:16 Iron Priest 1:26 Necrophagist 1:36 In Flames 1:42 very Exodus-ish more than Metal.. 1:52 Morbid Angel 2:02 Pantera's Far Beyond Driven 2:14 Mortuary Drape 2:24 obvious 2:33 Dream Rush 2:43 Forbidden 2:57 Dillinger Escape Plan 3:04 Fear Factory 3:11 Killswitch Trivium 3:17 Meshuggah 3:30 Mekong Delta 3:38 Suicidal Tendencies 3:51 Nevermore 3:57 Cacophony 4:10 Mid 90'2 Slayer 4:16 Trivium again 4:22 Voivod 4:29 every single OSBM band 4:42 Lamb Of God So what CLICHE could be missing? I would say of course the classic Glam Metal riffing, then Death's classic harmonic style (Spirit Crusher) and maybe some kind of very slow, drone-inspired riffs. Actually very hard to find some becuase you probably sum them up all!
And when you string them all together like this you still manage to get a pretty fresh prog song, demonstrating why genre roulette is one of the best songwriting tricks anyone could learn.
Man, I've just discovered your channel and Im not gonna lie.....I've been watching every single video of yours the whole day. And I still cant believe how damn well you play guitar, and you still trolling as you do it. Keep it coming mate! Cheers from Argentina!

Bless me, I thought this video was just a super-long ad for that LED fret/app thingy... Anyways, great vid! These "clichés" were all great! I particularly liked the pick rake one.
How did you miss the palm muted constant 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 both in the slow (like Seek and Destroy's verse) and fast (FUCKING SLAYER) versions???
ill be honest, that fret zealot thing is actually a pretty good idea for beginners If I ever decide to Re-Learn guitar but right handed, ill definitely check it out
1:16 Old school driving: Judas priest 1:34 Harmonized Pedal note riff: reminds me of some old in flames TBH 2:25 Sabbath worship: very nice, sabbath + 7 nation army! 2:34 Proggy rush worship: I hear quite a bit of dream theater 2:43 Fast power metal pedal note riff: Iron savior maybe? Nice riff :) 3:12 Open string phrygian: wow, nice. Trivium-esque or maybe killswitch? 3:38 Punky thrash: I definitely hear motorhead in this :)
Fret Zealot. My buddy and I thought of that same thing, but back around 1978. Drilling holes, using the old style plastic LEDs in single form, routing the wires in a groove on the back of the neck. Then we smoked some Afgan hash, grabbed our boards and went surfing.
the fret zealot is super fun to use, and i have had 3 because it actually made learning significantly easier for me. but they are really fragile and only last a couple months at most, especially if you regularly use your thumb for fretting and muting.
When I saw that there was am ad, I was like.. ugh, another skillshare sponsorship, I guess I'll watch it to support Brad... Holy smoke! Those things on the fretboard look super interesting O-O
If these are cliche riffs, I really want to hear the non cliche ones.
Listen to Death
@@everychannel1025 😩
Listen to any metal song. Is the riff one of the above? If yes, keep listening until it's not. If not, you found a non cliche one.
Dream Theater
Candiria Jazz Metal
I think that we can all agree that Bradley's shiny sparkly dazzling frets stunned us all upon first look
yes i agree
It's like a rock concert on your fretboard.
He blinded me with science.
@@BradleyHallGuitar rgb frets
This man just single-handedly called out pretty much every well known metal band on earth
I guess he was using both hands dude, watch again
i dont mind cliché riffage if the song is good, writting a riff is easy, writting a good song is hard
I am STILL wondering why he isn't one of the most sought after hired guns on the planet
Sabbath worship riff is like a mixture of seven nation army and black sabbath the title track
Candlemass

@@MetalMilitia83 i agree
@@BradleyHallGuitar yeah but i can wait for making this album if you upload top 10 metal cliches, that will be epic.
Do it Mr Hall, please.
Let's all be honest... We love these riffs no matter how cliche they are.
Most of them
That open string phyrgian riff is amazing.
aint that the one tool keeps using?
that riff reminded me of 46 & 2 by tool
sounds very lamb of god
It sounded like kill em all
@@gckbowers411 Yup. Tool are the godfathers of the phrygian scale.
Honestly a lot of these riffs kicked ass even though they're supposed to be cliche lmao
Sometimes cliche is good
chliché doesn't necessarily equal bad, they exist for a reason after all
Remember kids, tropes are tools.

I like how basically playing every note on the fretboard without any logical pattern has become cliche
Yeah, I think it is not necessarily cliche, but a good general representation of some subgenres/bands idk

Great job and good jokes ! 😉
since when did pantera harmonic pick scrape
sus
? ? ? ? ?
@@JupiterKnightyes, it’s a bit anachronistic, I guess it’s more of a Gojira thing.
The riff didn’t sound like Gojira either, so idk 🤷♂️
And when you string them all together like this you still manage to get a pretty fresh prog song, demonstrating why genre roulette is one of the best songwriting tricks anyone could learn.
Genre roulette, I like it
Which makes me wonder if the video and title came after the song.
3:30 probably that’s the face Buckethead is making under his bucket while performing lol
I just dedded
Nah, he probably just looks bored af. Tapping is easy compared to a lot of stuff. Fellow Buckethead fan here btw.
"I'm bored of riffing here's an amazing solo" caught me off guard and made me lol
Hair metal is the epitome of cliche metal riffs
Metal playing skills drop with hair cut
Me, a metal musician watching this:
"Oh wow this gives me a lot of ideas to work on"
Tapping + rake is Gojira's main repertoire
And boy it blew my mind first one I heard it :)
@@Madchris8828 to this day, everytime i hear flying whales i get chill, and the intro for born in winter makes me hyped to the point of almost crying.
The second riff is Dying Fetus - Homicidal retribution haha Thanks Brad, your metal riffs variety knowledge has no limit
Can't wait for you to be sponsored by a string cutter! 😬
This should go in The Book of Heavy Metal!
READ ALL ABOUT IT

His guitar has nuts?
@@turolretar Oops - I meant tuning pegs/heads!
Ah, that open string phyrgian riff. Pretty much every band uses it at some point, it's simple, but we all love it because it's so fucking badass.
You're enthusiasm is great 👍🏻
That metal core harmonized pedal riff actually slaps
Exquisite proportions of metal, meme and beauty. You give me life bradley.
This is actually a really good starter blueprint on major styles of metal riffing.
1:15
This reminds me of high speed dirt and skin o' my teeth
3:51

@@BradleyHallGuitar OMG! YOU RESPONDED! This is an honour.
the metalcore octave riff sounded like pull harder on your strings of martyr
I like how chuggz 4 dayz and phrygian were like the sequencing sections of a song and the transition was sooo good.
Cliches are life !
Thanks for the moment ;)
ill be honest, that fret zealot thing is actually a pretty good idea for beginners
If I ever decide to Re-Learn guitar but right handed, ill definitely check it out
All these riffs were actually pretty sick !
If you're in a trad band, you're required to write a song with an old school driving riff
Gorgeous bit of work.
Dude your solos are always dope as fuck even when you’re just dicking around
Drop d and octave riffs really did my homies a7x dirty
1:26 basically every song in BMTH's first album
Okay but that Black Metal riff still slayed.
Great playing Bradley!!
1:16 Old school driving: Judas priest
1:34 Harmonized Pedal note riff: reminds me of some old in flames TBH
2:25 Sabbath worship: very nice, sabbath + 7 nation army!
2:34 Proggy rush worship: I hear quite a bit of dream theater
2:43 Fast power metal pedal note riff: Iron savior maybe? Nice riff :)
3:12 Open string phrygian: wow, nice. Trivium-esque or maybe killswitch?
3:38 Punky thrash: I definitely hear motorhead in this :)
Open string phrygian generally reminds me of LoG more
Old School Driving is totally 2 Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden.
I was going to complain about the lack of southern groove metal but you redeemed yourself at the end.
Bro the punky thrash sounds sick. Make a song using THAT riff. Holy heck
I love the Rick Graham Signature Fist Shake ™ at the end!
When the first riff came in I just went straight into "2. MINUTES. TO MIIIIDDDNIIIGHTTTT"
Fret Zealot. My buddy and I thought of that same thing, but back around 1978. Drilling holes, using the old style plastic LEDs in single form, routing the wires in a groove on the back of the neck. Then we smoked some Afgan hash, grabbed our boards and went surfing.
You’re too good. You can play any modern heavy music. That playing was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice job. Great playing
Open string is Lamb of God
Big grooves big necks too
Also "First time discovering drop d"
This whole sountrack is the perfect power instrumental song for ADHD metal heads!!
Slayer's uncut strings killed me! You are great!

Which is the most commonly used riff ever, or some variation of it.

Metalcore harmonised pedal note riff almost exactly sounds like In Flames on their first two albums in the mid-90s
I don't care about all those riffs but your faces are priceless !
I wish you had dome some crab walking during the tremolo (black metal) section.
With the amount of subgenres you've played. A lot of them sound pretty unique.
2:24-2:32 Seven Nation Army if it was played by Black Sabbath.
1:35 thats legit 90% of bullet for my valentine songs
Fret zealot reminds me of those old keyboards with the light up keys telling you what to play next.
I do like the "Slow and Evil" to have a sinister atmosphere of sorts.
I also like the "Black Metal Triads" (and dyads) for those evil chords.
I need more of that harmonic pick-rake thing
These riffs are low key amazing
2:17 can't sleep. Thanks.
okay, now that is some quality advertisement and demonstration
That tech riff actually reminded me of an All Shall Perish riff.
25 of my favourite kinda riffs 🤦♂️😂 awesome playing man

You sir have just earned a sub 🤘 absolutely nailed it!
You're getting ALL those rad sounds out of that TINY Marshall that's sitting on your computer desk?
