    They’re telling me that it’s gonna be alright. But man, I just… don’t know. For the life of me I just can’t pull myself around to fully believing what they say. My head is spinning. Among the chaos and uncertainty, there’s some semblance of calm, and I try to cling to it but I can’t hold on for long. I’m fighting because in the end life is beautiful, and I’m worth the fight. I AM worth the fight. Well, thats my interpretation anyway. Beautiful piece. Seems like it would be the perfect way to close out an album.

      @@rileyplaysguitar about the bends, if you want to bend a little bit out of tune (in a microtone), which Calle Thomér sometimes does, make sure that the microtone that you are bending to is in the same mode as the rest of the song, for example, you are in D minor, you can bend a G to a G+ microtone and it will sound slightly out of tune but in the same key/mode as the rest of the song

    • @rileyplaysguitar
      @rileyplaysguitar 4 дні тому

      I appreciate you expanding upon your previous sentiment and providing some practical, constructive criticism with potential solutions. I don’t see that too often. That being said, this particular riff is written with the intent to make you feel a little uncomfortable and not be entirely “in tune”. Whether or not that comes across to the listener is subjective. Again, I appreciate the points you made as they are valid and you’re clearly knowledgeable on the subject matter. I hope you continue to engage with my channel because you’ve provided me with some solid thinking points. Cheers!

    Killer riffs and writing man! The underlying synths sound great. I run Nameless, GGD M&M, and Reaper, I think you just sold me on Serum. How is the ease of use? I have never done any synth/midi/keys stuff. Thanks you got a follower! I'll add on IG also if you have one

    • @rileyplaysguitar
      @rileyplaysguitar 7 днів тому

      Thanks dude! Serum can range from being very simple to use to very complex. I basically just sift through presets (there are so many) until I find something that works. I almost always find something that sounds great that needs minimal post-processing. You can delve deep into crafting a really unique sound with the options it provides but most of that is beyond me lol. I rely on it for leads, ambient layers, guitar layering for some thick sounding guitars, and sub-bass enhancements, so just about everything. I use rent-to-own through Splice so I never felt the sting of paying full price upfront, but it’s been worth the money. If you can find a free trial, I highly recommend doing that. I appreciate the follow! You can follow me on IG “@rileyguitar”, but this channel is where I upload the majority of stuff I’m working on. Thanks again 🤘
