Ah think that fella that commented about slowing down that first metal riff idea might huv a point... Only because it's going to be quite ifficult coming up with a drum accompaniment for it.

Came up with this wee ambient guitar idea today. Might see about getting it recorded after I get my guitar checked out, as I don’t think it’s setup right to stay in tune. I’d intonate it, myself, but I’d rather have my local musical instrument store check it over. Just to make sure the string...

Since I’m recording my music with a laptop, and everything going directly into a USB interface... does it really matter where ah actually record it, especially my guitars ? :unsure: Or does the size of the room only affect the sound a guitar when ye running sound from yer amp and need to mic it...

Well, that metal riff idea - the first one - is slowly creeping up SoundCloud’s Top 50 Most Played Metal Songs of the Week. And... it’s absolutely surreal, and humbling, seeing my moniker there amongst names like Metallica, Slipknot, Sabaton and Nuclear Blast Records. o_O;)(y) Especially...

Yeah... I’ll probably just go with the YouTube videos. As I think those video will basically be what my paid lessons would be like. Me having something explained to me, then shown how to play it. Plus, with the YouTube videos, I can go at my own pace, in terms of both practising and learning...

Okay then, fuck it ! Those riffs only took me 48 hours to write, and they clock in at 160 beats per minute. But, anyway, since you’re obviously a better guitarist than I could ever hope to be, and a far superior songwriter than me... how do I make my wee metal riff sound more like Pantera...

That’s true. :) I’m kinda unsure about the guitar lessons, though. Since I’m more than capable of teaching myself the guitar techniques I haven’t mastered, yet. It’s more the scales and using them to write riffs that I was never been taught. And I don’t know if it’s worth paying to be taught...

^ ;)(y)

Whilist ah agree with yer point... Am still no a hunner (100) percent convinced that that riff won’t turn into a generic as fuck sounding metal instrumental. Then there’s the issue of going back to getting guitar lessons at a musicial instrument shop in my local area. Ah just feel mair than a...

Fuck it ! Ah think I might quit the guitar — writing really good metal riffs has gotten too difficult. And I’m not as a good a guitarist as I was 10 years ago. And that first riff idea wus a fuckin’ fluke anyways.... cuz I’m not well versed in the music scales to know how to write guitar riffs...

Sod it ! Ah think I'll completely scrap that metal riff and start over... I have a feeling it'll sound generic as fuck if I continue with it as is. And I don't know how to re-write it make it sound better. Someone commented on it, saying if I slowed it down it would sound Pantera-esque, but I...

Thanks, Fountain. ;)(y) Glad to know the moving between genres thing has worked out, and that it all sounds professionally. Wasn’t entirely sure at first if that would pan out. Cuz I’m very much winging it, and learning how mix and write the songs as I go. :D And I don’t listen to music much...

I’ll try... I’ve got 2 years of frustration to draw inspiration from, anyway. :LOL: 2016 - 2018 (those were trying times in muh life, man). :( Must admit, though, am a wee worried that that 1st idea might negatively impact my metal riff writing overall. Especially as I’m considering making a...

Desperately trying to distract myself, cuz it’s been a feckin’ mental few days. But, I'm finding it difficult to do that.

Well... it's fuckin' happened again !! :oops::devilish: Within 24 hours, yet another of my metal riff ideas has made SoundCloud's Hot & New playlist ! :eek:o_O A continuation of the first metal riff idea, written within half an hour. At least I think that's how long it took me to write the 2nd...

The only program ah used was this... :LOL: And ye can only record, and use different virtual amp models so... :confused: So, aye, it’s me playing that riff ! o_O Ah know, even ah could’nae believe it when ah played it back... cuz all my previous attempts at trying to write metal riffs up...

Fuckin’ hell... !! So... should ah start planning the world tour now ? Naw, I’m only partly joking. It’s just, according to my SoundCloud statistics, that thrash metal riff ah wrote as bit of a piss take on the genre is popular as far a field as Kingston, Jamaica and fuckin’ Iran. And ah could...

Nah, Pug ! Yer way off, man. More like this... :LOL:

My oldest niece like the song Thunderstuck by AC/DC. So, there’s hope yet that she’ll develop a good taste in music. Don’t think my older sister’s too chuffed aboot that, though... I could kinda sense that, as she was asking if I had AC/DC’s Razor’s Edge album, and if I’d make a CD copy for my...

:LOL: Thanks. ;)(y)
