Very cool riff! I like that you allow the time for the notes to ring out (chime). All too often, in my opinion, guitarists use tapping to shred as fast as possible, ala EVH. Impressive as that can be, it just becomes a blur. I had a teacher once tell me that the spaces between the notes are just as important as the notes you play. Your riff is quite melodic somewhat hypnotic. You might consider something like that for the anchor of a new movie score. Best of luck with the new release. Be well.
Hey John, thanks so much for the lovely comment. So glad you liked the riff. I agree, I am not motivated by speed at all, more melody. If the riff or lick doesn't sound good then I don't think I'd ever be won over with "but look how fast it is!?" those days are gone. Haha. Thanks for the wish of luck!
Holy hell... everything you play is inspiring (even the stuff other people wrote). This is brilliant and gives new insight into the single. Thanks for sharing your composition process. Love it! ⭐🌟⭐🌟🌟
I appreciate that! Thank you. I tried to do it in a contemporary way. The tapping isn’t for speed, it’s just the only way to play it with that kind of hypnotic cycling quality. 👏🏻👏🏻
as I MENTIONED in a previous lesson of yours.....I think it's cool you're in a band with Sophie....rock on bro....I'm in the US so I won't be making a trek across "the Pond" to come to any shows....
Thanks so much Mike! Yeah it’s really cool. Just got to work our arses off to get it off the ground. Guess we will have to make the trip to you right? 👀
@@SpedSpedding hey...if Zeppelin can make it to the states I'm sure you can....they were my VERY FIRST concert....saw them in Philadelphia ...February 1975....Physical Graffiti wasn't out yet but I remember Kashmir.....was a young lad of 15 in High School..... #truestory
I should have watched this earlier!.. "Sorry luv, I can't spend the day pulling bullrushes out of the pond, Sped told me not to do anything strenuous". Brilliant riff mate, but I'm not going to try and play it until after I've dipped my poor old back in the hot-tub. Hope the gigs go well and don't forget that Tasmania is on the way to New York.😎
Definitely a cool riff, thanks for sharing the secret sauce that goes with it 🤘 Good luck with the gigs, I've got a really lame excuse like being 12,000 miles away. Maybe when you're "top of the pops" or whatever you have these days in the UK, you can visit us folks in Australia and ride a kangaroo to your gig 🦘 whilst dodging drop bears 🐨
Don’t alter the intro Sped 😳😁😂😂 I absolutely love it Sped Really is something special 💯👌👌👌👌 I absolutely have to have a go at playing it🎸💯 Will be on your Patreon for the tabs and help tomorrow CHEERS Saving up to supply you with drinks 🍺🍺🍺 ( paying your mortgage a bit to far 😁😁😁) See you at Newcastle, Wolverhampton ( bringing planty) and then Bristol for the end of tour party 😁😁😁 3out6 not bad 😁👍😎
The riff sounds great man! Wouldn't mind checking you guys out either but it's one hell of a ride from New York man ahah! Maybe one of these days you guys will even come tour the states 🤙
We definitely don’t expect people to fly in. 😅 But there were some people who did for the debut show. Mind blown. ❤️ Fingers crossed we make it across the pond some point soon.
Hagstrom sounds great. Great sustain & delay. Nice fluid & controled tapping. Awesome song & video but unless you guy's make it to the states...namely Buffalo NY...lol..the wife & I would love to see you guys but wouldn't be able to venture there although it is on our bucket list. Anyway caio to you & Gab
It does, really pleased with the upgrades. Who knows, maybe we could pull in some data and play an abroad show at some point. Probably make a £10,000 loss with visas though. 😂

Hey Sped- I saw you in London for the first gig- gutted can’t make the new dates, I’m in France for the d-day celebrations! What happened to your bass man? He’s not on your posters, have you eaten him?😟
I went and watched the video and I don't believe that you were in it. I saw this guy playing guitar, but for some reason they never showed his face. Conspiracy theories abound.
What a misleading title, It should be "How I wrote THE coolest Guitar Riff" 😁I'm on the wrong side of the Pond , so I'm hoping some audience footage gets uploaded.
Rumor has it Page is at home learning this right now.

Thanks for changing the intro 😌
It’s my pleasure mate. 😂😂😂
Love the riff! Went to check out your band and found Mess With Me (Live Acoustic Version)... What a great song! Gonna be on my playlist now dude!
Awesome! Thank you you so much, I'm glad you liked that acoustic session. I filmed that for us, talk about multi tasking haha!
Killer Riff
Thank you my friend!

You’re super welcome! So happy that sharing the process was inspiring. I don’t remember exactly when I came up with it, but it was a late night. 😂
Awesome Sped :) Always love your playing and commentary, by the way great music!
Glad you enjoyed this one too. Thanks for watching!
Awesome...!
Thanks for sharing ❣️🎸
My pleasure, thanks for listening!
Awesome Sped! Keep on the great jamming. Good luck with the band and your concert. Much Aloha to you and Gab, bless you all. 🕊️
Many thanks! Same to you. 🌺

Glad you liked it Kit, it’ll get the neurons firing for sure. After your deep soak that is… 🛀
Hi Sped, I really like the riff and the guitar tone. What effects and amplifiers have you used to achieve it?
They’ll be studying that vibrato technique for years to come
😂😂😂 I certainly hope so. I wonder what they’ll call it?
@@SpedSpedding Fret Spedding? The Sped Shake? The Shivering Flamingo?
I have the same watch Sped! Love your channel man. Great vid. Would love more riff writing related stuff in the future!
It’s a cool watch isn’t it! I bought it for the gym so I can be notification free and just work out with my little notebook.
@@SpedSpedding Thats exactly why I got it too.

Cool it looks like my Hagström guitar.
I guess you coud play that on a Chapman Stick.
I’ve always wanted to play one of them! Never tried. Big fan of King Crimson and their use of it.
@@SpedSpedding I have one for sale :-)

Liked the track n video love this riff.Where's your bass player?
Appreciate that, glad you liked it. Had to step down due to other commitments. Important that we can say yes to gigs and tours etc.
Determined to see you in London this summer!!! Great use of language in post, incidentally. Guru Spedding
@@SpedSpedding Two great Guitarists seem to compensate well, and I must admit I had to rewatch video to double check he wasnt hiding behind a TV. How about live sound?
White light White Heat White noise....10 pints Blackout 😂
11 pints.
Another Hagstrom?
I’ve had this for years. There was a whole series on me doing it up? Used it for many other lessons too.
Hey Sped- I saw you in London for the first gig- gutted can’t make the new dates, I’m in France for the d-day celebrations! What happened to your bass man? He’s not on your posters, have you eaten him?😟
James stepped down at the start of the year due to other commitments. We’re all good though. 🙏🏻
Very 80s synth. See you on the last season of Stranger Things 😂
I mean, they better hurry up and get in touch! It'd be quite fitting with the old TV's as well.
I went and watched the video and I don't believe that you were in it. I saw this guy playing guitar, but for some reason they never showed his face. Conspiracy theories abound.
Tbf I am very busy so on occasion I pay this guy I know who looks like me to fill in. He’s called Pugachev.
Chat GPT wrote the riff. Sped doesn’t actually exist… he is an AI generated graphic. The only thing real here is his snark.

Yes it is! Worth the wait. 😂
