You have all been asking for this one for quite awhile! I'm pretty happy about it, mainly because it was a fun challenge and it helped me get some of my old metal chops back. I'm confident that this will only help make these videos greater. So here it is! How To: Make a Djent/Prog-Metal Song in 9 Min or Less! (Yes, 9 minutes. It's a lengthy one!)

Hope you all enjoy this one! It was a lot of fun to make. Just a few updates for you guys:
- No friend to join me this time. My schedule was pretty tight, so I had to make this in all in about 3 days. Also, I forgot to unlock the "Guitar Slave" dungeon, sooo....
- The "How-To" album and the Q&A are being worked on. The first 14 songs (and maybe the Halloween Rock one) will be on the album. This song and any other after it are considered a "Part 2". If the first album goes well, you can expect another with these songs + guitar tabs
That is all! I will see you all next time!
Shady Cicada is there a way to get a tone like the tone that u get when u palm mute close to the pick up without doing so?
Do you think you'll be able to put the full album on Spotify?
Shady Cicada That's great, I'd love to look at tabs for them 👍🏼
Yo, Luc. The album is planned to be released on Spotify!
Shady Cicada I get a lot of info from your vids (even though they are meant as a little bit of a joke lol) but I was wondering if you could make one on how you come up with all these intricate riffs, cuz mine are still very basic
Coming Soon: How to write a TOOL song in ten years or less...

He *_does_* play "Icarus Lives!" in the beginning, doesn't he?
I noticed that you don't need friends to Djent
Sack Of Potatoes because you just need a guitar. A bass and drum plug in. And then just copy and paste😂
LIKE A ROBOT SLURPING NUTS OUT OF A CAN. You have finally defined it. My favorite of your originals in the HowTo yet (though I'm biased)!
Nah mate that's the W H A L E R A K E
This is one of the many songs used to summon the djent ent. The most metal a creature of wood can be
Sounds like a Periphery song :D
SymmetryFail He even played Icarus lives in the beginning lol
Lucas Davis - I thought I was the only one that noticed that XD
Thats because peryphery is djent
@@floofyviking There certainly are Djent bands that don't sound like Periphery.
Animals as Cicadas
Veil Of Cicada
Twelve Foot Cicada
I take back Twelve Foot Cicada that sounds terrifying
Are you sick of dem Cicaaaadas
Are you a Cicada of being sick...?
CorgiOverlord Meshiccada
This Time it's Cicada
My chemical romanCicadas
2/10 he used a 6-string.
-1/10 he used a traditional 4/4 and drop C ,
correct is use 0x00xx0/0x00x00 and DROP Q
its not everyone that has a 7 string (like me),so, knowing that is possible to do this kind of song in 6 strings,is actually pretty nice and of course,useful ^^
drop Q?
7 strings are so fun though, mine is in my lap right now lol. I feel like I can do so much more on 7 strings even if I'm not using the low B string all the time
Why not drop ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?
Whatever man, this song was fucking sick.
ICARUS LIVES !
I'm not going to lie, 5:44 actually gave me goosebumps. Great job man, can't wait to hear more How To songs.
(Also you should totally do a How To Post Rock
Skyrockerable post rock can be made with the guitar or without the guitar(keyboard)
I was expecting some shitty half-assed djent song at the end, but I was pleasantly surprised. That's actually proper djent on par with the greats, I'd say.
I know right? I only clicked on this video to see if this turns out as shitty as I expected it to..
and now I'm listening to it for the third time and I'm _really_ enjoying myself. This is great!
o3iquitous how do you write in italics?
@Jose Tilt your keyboard 30 degrees.
Four-Eyes That’s Right Four Eyes
o3iquitous Why Would It Be Shitty
Not enough 0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-1-0-0-1
This is how I can tell you haven't listened to any real djent
A djent song
What a pleb
@@-salley879 woooosh
@Maurice you must have never heard of periphery
Great Song! You could try to partner with some vocalists to incorporate lyrics to the songs! Keep it up!
Epa te pillé haciendo djent bro
i never thought of it as "a robot slurping bolts out of a can" . now i can't think of that sound as anything else.
How did you even make this is 3 days!? I struggle sometimes to even come up with rhythmic and catchy riffs, and you conjured up a song like it was nothing. Sometimes I'll come up with something I kind of like, but not exactly what I want. How long have you been playing? How do you do it so well? And not just the technical side, but the coming up with riffs, melody and song structure aspect. I'd love to know so that maybe I can apply some sort of advice or mentality to my playing/way of approaching song making.
Hey, dude! First of all, thank you very much for the kind words! I've been playing guitar for 8 and a half years now. I don't have as much time as I used to for practice, but I making these videos help. I've been writing music for just as long. I looked for people who could give me blunt feedback/advice on my music. From there, I just made improvements and wrote down every idea I had. And now I have all of you amazing peeps to give me the same kind of feedback!
I'm getting some Pale Aura feels
Sounds like Sithu Aye, especially the bridge. Nice work!
I'd love to hear your works with vocals featured in them
Something like this may be happening in the near future!
Wooooo
I Would love to do vocals
no please no
You should do Power Metal!
He has a video on how to make an 80's metal song...
he did
You should retitle this to "How to make a Periphery song in 5 minutes." Cheers m8
7:20
Should've called the song earthquake with a breakdown like that- house is literally falling into the earth rn .-.
This is actually just the type of inspiration I was looking for! I'm in the process of trying to sort out writing metalcore, djent, progressive... I always write a cool riff but get stuck on it. I can never seem to break out and add variety and complexity while not straying too far from my original ideas, and then I lose it completely and have to start over.
Special thanks to my buddy, Ro for re-amping some of my guitar tones for this song! Check out his channel for some REAL quality stuff! ruclips.net/user/Swiggles1987
the guitar sounds were so amazing and again u ROCK the youtube stage with ur great talent and emotions keep the great work buddy!!
Definitely hear the Pale Aura intro riff in there. Sounds good man!
doesn't Djent. should have used deep sea cable as lowest string tuned as low as Justin biebers IQ...
Lost it at deep sea cable. 10/10
There's only so low one can possibly go.
Might as well just use an extra long, overcooked spaghetti noodle at that point...
0-0-0-0-0-5-1-0-0-0-0 that's djent? Oh shit really, more syncopated lmao
Try G instead of A maybe. That’s the brown note.
I actually loved that 3rd section riff Pre-Chorus. Really nice lick.
Damn the stuff you're playing sounds good and somewhat heavy. Most other Djent videos I've seen aren't even near heavy or interesting.
Most people that do djent videos don't know what they're talking about, listen to a band like Periphery or Tesseract or Monuments and you'll see that there's a lot more to djent then people give it credit for
Check out Djentstrumental from Steve Terreberry.
experimental/avant garde techincal death metal lets go
Sithu Aye/Plini feels!
CrazyFatGuy Yesss! That bridge was so Sithu Aye-like
CrazyFatGuy for real this is almost how to write a sithu aye song haha (which is almost better than the title)
In-depth versions of all your "how to" series would be actually super useful
I'M SUPER INTO THIS.
Im a djent fan, and I actually really enjoyed the song
Not sure why as a 48 year old man I love this form of music. Also as a 48 year old man who just picked up guitar as a very light hobby I feel saddened that I will in all actuality never get this good. It's very cool to that once you have the "skills" you can have fun and change it up and put things such as the different stages of forming this song together. I can follow along at the highest level with no detail, buy envy you young people who have the basic skills to play well and can experiment like this. Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
This was actually real helpful and entertaining keep up the good work man
Damn man. normally i dont even listen to this kind of stuff but it is unimportant what genre of music you make, everything is just pure gold dude. Love from Germany
Haha this is fantastic, like the fact you sneaked an Isley Brothers lick into a Djent song!! 1:42 Sounded a lot like Summer Breeze :D
Man, what a sick song! It's like arsenal of riffs. And dynamic af. You make a whole pre-chorus, chorus and bridge all just made up of one melody and a few power chords...but with the power of dynamics. What I personally found very interesting was how you just intensified that pre-chorus and made it a chorus...honestly, don't remember hearing such an arrangement before....that move is so stolen by me lol.
"Mess around with a metronome and play whatever." Honestly that's it, lol.
Could you maybe do some tutorials on arpeggios you use or other things you like to use when you write songs? I love your playing style!
Very useful, I was just thinking the other day about how we lack uninspired djent bands following a formula !
dude Idk what it is about this song but it actually gives me chills it's so damn beautiful
I was about to comment on one of your videos on how to make a Djent song, lol. This song is sick btw!
and that breakdown riff is so sick that imagine if it was the intro riff of another song! super sick stuff man.
This was pretty good man! Keep it up, I enjoyed this tutorial and song
can i use your dark matter phase 2cover in a video ? i'll give you credit
I'm really enjoying this series
Needs waaaaaaay more 0's and 1's. Like, the entire song. 1/10, T00 M0NY FR0TS.
OfSwordsAndOrdnance right cause it doesn't say prog in the title lol
tom balmer this is more technical metal than progressive. If your song is in 4/4 it's not progressive in any way shape or form.
Um have you heard any song written by Meshuggah? Anything written by Monuments? Anything written by fucking Periphery for God's sake? 4/4 means nothing other than that there are four beats in a measure, stop being an elitist.
Noted! Next song will be in binary.
Haha, all jokes aside, it's great work! Keep it up, man!
This is definitely pre Mark era periphery. Intro riff sounds just like passenger. Clean ambient guitarist is hands down Jake.
not even joking one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I'm going to be studying the hell out of this one
How to make a black metal song?
Trem picking and octaves. There you go.
DivinityOfAMortalOfficial yep, trem picking and dissonant chords are key.
DivinityOfAMortalOfficial Then buy a $20 HM-2 clone for trve kvlt
True, true lol
You all forgot to record the song with headphones' mic
lol that let u keep throwing out there cracked me up lol great vid
Just wanted to say that Damien platinum is sick thanks for the low-key demo lol
My boy shady, back at it again!
Shades of Mastodon, especially in the verse. Maybe just the tuning but it sounds awesome. Good job mate 👍🏻
Finally someone else that also using a Spyder Valve!!!!
The breakdown sounds like I've heard it a thousand times before. Perfect job ;-)
He just used a six string baratone (I think) and tuned it down to drop A. I'm surprised! Nice job!
I've been watching like all of this guys vids and everything he makes is so catchy. Like he should join killswitch engage or something. He'd probably make them better. You just earned yourself a subscriber.
Side note: I make beats if you're interested but you're probably not if you're on here so idk.
No,hats off to you my friend. Been enjoying your stuff and this is just sick
super sick song man!
Jack! Thanks a lot, dude! I'm glad you enjoyed it
I fucking love your riffs, dude.
That's a Spider Valve 100. I used to have to have one when I was a gigging musicean. It does a great job at melting faces.
0:37
*Joe Duplantier wants to: Know your location*
A lot seem to call this djent. But I call this one Progressivecore. The reason is because it is a mix of Progressive Metal with Metalcore.
This song is actually pretty cool. I was expecting a more extreme djent song with jyst 1s and 0s
Thats basically Pale Aura from Periphery, it sounds amazing btw
F#@&ING SICK AS F#@$!!!!! And, I love how you were poking fun at the genre but in the end TOTALLY DID IT JUSTICE!!!! I, also, like to poke fun, and then, MELT FACES!!!! Please make more videos!!!
Thanks a lot, man! I will definitely make more videos!
just what I was looking for, thx man, you're awesome
you are so creative! *awesome!*
Periphery sounding. Cool
This is Mark Holcomb AF. Good job man
man honestly this is fucking good... I'm a huge fan of progressive death metal and I found this very enjoyable.. the cleans are awesome.. write some lyrics and get this on a record I'll buy it..
this was highly anticipated. did not dissapoint ;)
This song really puts me in the mood for Emmure.
i love your fret inlays thanks for the vid
this video was everything to me
Should have named the title "how to write every periphery song ever"
Side note- I love periphery
Dude, this song is so sick ! Well played sir !
robots slurping bolts out of a can LOL. great video man thanks.
Shady! Do you have tabs, or notation for this??! I would love to learn it--I know we talked about getting out of scale boxes on another video and I'd love your song here to be one to help me out of those!
You earned a subscriber mate!! Seriously good content!
0:51 just from step one alone I knew this was Gunna be badass!
This is actually really good
Can't believe you actually got Munkey from Korn to teach you his songwriting secrets.
This reminds me of The Royal. Good stuff!
yo this is really good! I love this man
Sounds kinda like Periphery, I like it!
some sick stuff dude i should do a rendition of this particular djently melodic stlye i totally dig it!
btw if anyone is interested I put out a Demo Album for free at amanwithnoband.bandcamp dot com, always looking for fatal criticism /shamefull selfpromotion off
What a great song
Yet another wicked vid, mate!
Love it! :D
man! You always surprise us with your talent
Amazing brother
dood your videos are pretty damn good
5:43 That moment when you become the deep, ambient one in the band
Literally starts with Icarus lives. Nice.
finally! you killed it!
omg tuning the low E string so low .... is just insane :P
At 4:13 when you changed the drum beat (Which was sick by the way) It would've been awesome if you changed the strumming a bit to complement the drums? The guitars just felt a bit too repetitive with the rest of the song. Just some constructive criticism, i love your music and vids 🙂
