    bro these tutorials are really helping with my song writing, the las video of intervals made an idea that was in my head for a long time come to life, but can i ask a kinda specific question? when i write i generally have problems with rythm and making or using or finding rythm themes or do something that feels groovy or just that rythmically makes sence, specially because i am in the proces of writing a tool'ish track so the rythm themes are really important and i wanna make a main riff that fits the song and the other stuff that i alredy have so yeah.

      That’s awesome! And that’s exactly why I decided to start making these videos. On the rhythm thing, try these steps: 1. If you can’t already, learn to read and write standard notation. At the very least, the rhythmic element. 2. Practice translating the rhythms of songs you like into standard notation through transcription. 3. Over time, doing step two a LOT will allow you to understand the rhythms you hear in your head more clearly which will give you the confidence to use those rhythms because they will no longer feel “wrong” or “unclear.” Bonus step 4. Spend some time transcribing your rhythmic ideas into some kind of notation software with a playback feature. The playback will tell whether or not you accurately notated the rhythms in your head. Like step 2, as you get more accurate doing this, you gain more confidence and clarity in your rhythmic ideas. Step 2 is also crucial to develop rhythmic vocabulary, which is necessary to create original ideas If you ever feel like getting some more hands-on help with these steps, I do teach private lessons!

    Cool video man We actually can make metal to be full of possibilities, but some people just don't like it, instead they (some of western metal community) trying to achieve more heaviness and down tuned things that sounds boring and monoton. that's why i sticked more to Asian metal, because their community didn't limit them and hated them for being different.

    This is so sick! I’ve been doing this approach for a while. Works just as well with writing riffs. Been obsessed with writing in ultra locrian and going hard with modal harmony. I recently started go back to functional harmony to internalize all those weird and augmented 6th chords use them in a metal context.
