My valued patrons, how's everyone doing with guitar practice this week? Guitar playing is always a struggle for me. Last week I rewrote a riff about 69 times before getting it right. You'll be hearing that riff this week in my RIFF LORD BOOT CAMP launch. I'm super pumped about this course because we're going to systematize the composition process. It's about removing the barriers in your path to directly access your creative power. 

The goal of riff lord bootcamp is to complete 4 original riffs. One riff in heavy metal, thrash metal, neoclassical metal and prog metal. I'll be covering how to get inspired, creation triggers like the drone, how to organize your ideas using music theory and how to record your riff in a DAW. 

I'll be referencing popular metal riffs like Black Sabbath's Iron Man to uncover writing secrets like the 4 bar phrase, repetition and development and how to connect different sections of your song smoothly. Why do a course on guitar riffs? Well, guitar riffs contain all 3 primary elements of music, melody, harmony and rhythm. The riff is the fundamental driving force of Metallica, Megadeth, any other metal band. 

🛑 YOUR TURN!

What are your thoughts regarding RIFF LORD BOOT CAMP? Let me know what you'd like to see included and what your current guitar goals are below muhahaha!

will you also cover how to implement these riffs as fundamental building blocks of a whole song/instrumental and maybe how to combine it with bass + solo-guitarparts?

Yes! That’s my plan. I’ve written a short song with an intro, verse, chorus and bridge to show how the parts fit together. I have bass and drum parts we can go over too. You can let me know if it helps when I release the video!

I’ve stopped waiting for inspiration & have begun seeking it. This has yielded the first songs Ive written in 20 years…that aren’t too bad. I want to continue down this musical theory path that you (& others) have shown me.
