  • Writing our first metal song (regardless of the genre) can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you don't have a band, or your thinking of forming one, and you are not the most flashy of guitar players! So I hope that in this video I can convince you that with simple riffs and a few tools you can start writing your awesome music!

    Remember guys, take this with a pinch of salt! There is no ideal correct way to write songs, in fact the way that works for you IS the correct way! However, if you don't know where to start, I hope this video will help! :))

    That progression in the beginning reminds me of “The Element Of One” by Killswitch Engage. Drop C is the superior tuning for MetalCore.

    Great video man I really enjoyed it! Another tip for aspiring song writers. For a bridge section: if you were playing minor chords you can change to major visa versa. This will help contrast when falling back into the chorus ❤

    @hernanllano9711 2 роки тому

    Hi Filipe, I recently discovered your channel and I am loving your content, I have one question, when you are writing this riffs, how do you know that the notes from one riff are going to work with the notes of the other riff when layering them at the end, do you try things until it sounds good, are you applying theory? Thanks!

    • @musicinsession
      @musicinsession  2 роки тому

      ahh no mate, I am not a very theory kind of guy... well, I am lying, I do play riffs within a certain scale, so then if you find the chords of that scale they always sound good! Or even two riffs completely different but in the same scale won't clash (much). That's a far as I go with theory for music or riff writing! Hope that helps mate!
