      Kiss of Death and your Intro Riff are two completely different things. So, no. Inspired by Dokken‘s song. But not ripped off from that

    Lmao, I never realised I needed tips to make riff. My tips are-
    1.Hit the Low E string too many times (bonus points for downpicking)
    2. Pick some random note on the low E and and A string but keep downpicking the low E string
    Bhoom You just got a Thrash Metal Riff!
    Jokes aside great video, Jason!

    I’ve quoted this on your channel before
    “ We’re all just sharing riffs”- Dimebag.
    Great lesson! We’ve all came up with something we like but sounds like something done before.

    So awesome Jason. I just ordered your metal mastermind riff mastery course and looking forward to developing my metal guitar skills so that I can record my first album. Ear training skills and learning basic sweep arpeggios are goals I have in mind as well as better chops.

    I've been hijacking other folks riffs since 198?, & I will probably do it til I can't play anymore. That riff actually sounds more like Jake E Lee to me. \m/

    I took Metallica Enter the Sandman riffs and modified downtuned and mixed it up to create my own unique version. Same with Slayer riffs.

    It sounds totally different, but still sounds like it could be Dokken or Ratt. That would be a riff that’s original but in the style of Dokken.

    I thought your first riff that contained the first 2 notes of the Dokken riff sounded best and was different enough to not be a rip-off.
