    A lot of new/intermediate players don't realize this is how to write cool riffs. They think it'll just happen all at once. The ideas just come out awesome right off the bat. That happens occasionally but I write almost everything this way. I'm usually just noodling around while watching TV and something cool will pop out then I basically dissect what I'm doing and embellish it or build it into something else.
    I think of it like building a house. First you need a foundation, then your structure, now take that structure and decorate it however you like. Sometimes I grab the acoustic to write metal riffs to kind of force myself to start simpler. Plus, if it sounds good on acoustic, it's definitely gonna sound good on electric. AND since an acoustic doesn't sound metal, when you make the switch to electric, hopefully it'll have a unique sound or style that I wouldn't have come up with playing a distorted electric. That's one of the goals anyway

      This is what I aim for when I try to make riffs. Even if I’m just noodling on one string and I’ll go and figure out where I can play it easier and that’ll open up a whole new place or sound I can put into the song.

      @@RohannvanRensburg He can literally learn this by using tabs. You can learn about music theory by using tabs. Yes, developing your musical ear is important, but saying you can't get to that level with tabs is merely showing, that you don't know what you are talking about. Also, that you're probably a boomer.

    The infinite source of human emotion that comes from within is famously difficult to capture in most of our forms of communication. People write poetry, music and law that inspires and unites - and sometimes alienates, all in unison in an atempt to truly comprehend the divine beauty of - what THIS is - ...reality. Not everyone is capable of doing this with aplomb but kudos to those who try to create art in their own attempt to capture this source of "purpose".
    Then there are people like yourself, above them all, able to create something that can actually describe an impressive portion of the divine and you spend your time dunking on those that try. Your prize is youtube impressions.
    Music is the purest expression of the sacred and it is so difficult to create anything that breaks the mould. You shouldn't sneer at anyone who isn't as capable as yourself at doing it - just respect that they feel the purpose of it too and you are both on the same path towards finding - or expressing to others, meaning
