      Kiss of Death and your Intro Riff are two completely different things. So, no. Inspired by Dokken‘s song. But not ripped off from that

    Lmao, I never realised I needed tips to make riff. My tips are-
    1.Hit the Low E string too many times (bonus points for downpicking)
    2. Pick some random note on the low E and and A string but keep downpicking the low E string
    Bhoom You just got a Thrash Metal Riff!
    Jokes aside great video, Jason!

    So awesome Jason. I just ordered your metal mastermind riff mastery course and looking forward to developing my metal guitar skills so that I can record my first album. Ear training skills and learning basic sweep arpeggios are goals I have in mind as well as better chops.

    It sounds totally different, but still sounds like it could be Dokken or Ratt. That would be a riff that’s original but in the style of Dokken.

    I thought your first riff that contained the first 2 notes of the Dokken riff sounded best and was different enough to not be a rip-off.
