Also a riff writing master class would be great. What riffs do you look to when trying to get inspiration, what you recommend learning to help building up those chops and what not
This one of those riffs that's really cool, because you can change the entire context with what's played underneath. I do this myself sometimes. I have a 7-string riff in 7/8 that, due to context, is the following chords: Bmaj11, D#7#9, F#11, Bmaj11, Gsus2(b5), Bmaj7sus4, Em/maj7, D#7#9, F#11, F#13, Gsus2(b5), Bmaj7sus4, C#m13, Gsus2(b5), and Bmaj7sus4. (Yes, I like using multiple tracks to imply "Jazz chords".) What the guitar plays never changes. It's the same riff for the whole song section. But synthesizer and the bass guitar change the context.
oh my gawd! that gtr is beautiful. Love the riffs. That intro should be the next solo comp! i feel the main riff would be a sick outro/fade out riff at the end of an epic song. Great stuff.
Nick, Djent is not for me by any means but I do love a tasty riff. I spent like 8 hours watching your videos the other day, from TRT to LBR. Your writing workflow alone is a real joy to watch. New guitar looks unreal! Can't wait to see it in more videos!
Minor thing that I hope you’ll find helpful…I noticed that the stack was still panned right even though you reassigned it to that left crash on your e-kit. Loved the riff…the new guit-box is sick, much love and respect!
Yoo, the threshold should be set in you e-kit:) It might be something you can do in Logic, I don't know actually. But you should be able to do it in your drumkits module. This way the MIDI note doesn't even get sent to Logic. Cheers! Great riff by the way, and I love the cluster design!
I love the new guitar and have been wanting one in pretty much that same finish. Could you post the exact specs somewhere? I’d love to know more about including the neck profile and radius you went with, etc. Awesome riffage as well!
That guitar is fucking beautiful. What's that riff at 2:24? Update: I wanted to learn this riff so bad I watched the clip over and over at half speed to learn it. This riff is so much fun
I would have to go with the "Redbull" episode as I call it, that was a brutal deathcore kind of riff. Hilarious too because I don't drink caffeine at all and when I have even a small amount I'm always like, "WHERE'S MY GUITAR, I NEED TO TREMOLO PICK RIGHT NOW." 😆
My ONLY gripe with Kiesel is that they use a plate-mounted jack instead of a flush-mounted jack. With a price tag like that, I think a flush-mounted jack would be a no-brainer. Other than that, their stuff is consistently incredible
MYYYYYY NIIIIIIIB!!! Santa came soon this year to you hahaha, congraaats, amazing and wonderful guitar my dudeee!!! What an amazing TFT episodee, much love my man!
dude, happy you love the guitar so much - even happier that your family seems to love it as much :D whats going on?! why is everyone so positiv?! when i buy a new guitar, my wife is like "how much was it? oh god!" :D
My Grandma always told me there's nothing more depressing than a Christmas tree with no presents underneath it….let alone no ornaments on it. That tree looks sad AF bro, hook it up! 😂
Nick how do you keep your master volume from clipping whenever it’s pushing the output into the red? Do you just use a limiter on the master chain or does it has to do with the way you have your volumes set up?
Come on now Papa. We want the 2:24 riff to have its own episode.
That actually sounded a lot like a (perhaps unconscious) reference to the intro riff on Automaton by Intervals!
I concur!
It must be done!
This is base :)@@nunolance23
What Mrak riff is that lmao
Should we start calling him Papa? 🥲
are you mama?
Yes
Unfortunately yes. Thick Riff Papa?
This is the most critically underrated channel on UA-cam
Yep, best guitar channel on youtube imo. Super fun to listen, and not cringe like *almost* every other guitarists on youtube. Nick is the man
Yes! We love a 20 min Thick Riff Thursday! Thursdays with Nick and Sundays with Ola are top tier, just need to fill out the rest of the week haha
cmonnnnnnnnnnn that 2:24 riff was so sick! needs an ep of its own. that guitar is now added to my wish list. it’s beautiful!
lol even the pups are impressed @1:25
Another inspiring episode.
You've become my favorite source for inspiration brother!!!!
👊😎

I'm glad christmas came early to you too. I finally got the go for fibre internet this morning so i too am very happy
CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY FOR PAPA BROOMHALL. beautiful guitar and beautiful riffage as always papa nick
That is the most beautiful finish on a guitar I have seen in a very long time
Anytime I look at the guitar the only words that come to mind are “crimson sky” beautiful guitar and amazing content as always!
Every week should start with Thursday!
That was like 2 whole jams. Groovy as hell
That guitar is beautiful. And the riff is tasty af. I know what I’m wishing for this Christmas. Some TRT gear!
"Swamp ash" never fails to make me giggle
This screams Misery Signals, it's so so good. Guitar is also beautiful! Mad props!!!!
Low end information part had my dying 🤣

Papa! I would love to see you video making process. Like how do you sync up the recorded guitar with your vid, what camera do you use, stuff like that
oh my gawd! that gtr is beautiful. Love the riffs. That intro should be the next solo comp! i feel the main riff would be a sick outro/fade out riff at the end of an epic song. Great stuff.
NICK THAT OPENING HOLCOMBY RIFF NEEDS TO BE A TRT! 🔥🔥
Great episode. Thank you papa
SickFreakn guitar bro. I got my third kiesel being built. I can’t wait for it to
30+ episodes and not one miss yet.
Dude this made me so excited cause I have an Aristides coming with almost the same finish. THICKmas is here!!!

What a beautiful instrument. I can't decide if it's the front or the back prettier.😅
Sounds like C Lydian to me. Lovely!
100% is and nothing else
THICK RIFF PAPA!

Great riff by the way, and I love the cluster design!
Check out page 13 in your manual, section 8 about drum sensitivity adjustment. Bullet point 3 is about threshold!
Mans got the best tones, riffs, and tops on his guitars. Its not fair
The first take of the Ambient layers put “paper cranes” by Surroundings in my head! Another very inspiring thick riff Thursday 🙌 thanks Nick!
Good job Papa.
This riff your writing the first blast of it is very “Chimera” esk. “Inside the horror” sounds wicked!
Sick riffs as usual! I got myself some new studio monitors for Christmas!
This riff idea sounds soooooo amazing 🤘🤘 I really love this one
I love the new guitar and have been wanting one in pretty much that same finish. Could you post the exact specs somewhere? I’d love to know more about including the neck profile and radius you went with, etc. Awesome riffage as well!

Update: I wanted to learn this riff so bad I watched the clip over and over at half speed to learn it. This riff is so much fun
Have you learned it completely?
@@ejnova7215 I have!
as usual a banger thick thursday! the original riff gives me Their Dogs Were Astronauts vibes so good can't wait for next week 💯💯
i understand the ease of use of MIDI bass but i miss seeing you play bass :(
In my opinion, the best riff you wrote in this show!
I would have to go with the "Redbull" episode as I call it, that was a brutal deathcore kind of riff. Hilarious too because I don't drink caffeine at all and when I have even a small amount I'm always like, "WHERE'S MY GUITAR, I NEED TO TREMOLO PICK RIGHT NOW." 😆
Doom/Diablo finish vibes here ❤ congratulations! Happy for you. The beginning of the video was too funny 🤣 laughed with you. Thanks!
Haha thanks so much! 🙏
Not a fan of reverse head stocks, but That is one badass looking axe!!! Love the ring type inlay markers too! What is the top wood? It's awesome!
Incredible guitar.
For no reason i imagine the end of the intro with an open chord and automated gain raise.😂
Sounded so good dude, big old school Novelist vibes. Yet another banger
papa be djenting till christmas
That guitar is amazing! Sick riff and drums dude 💪🤘
Sick I bought 5 this year since addictive every one is my favorite 😂😂 beutiful build
Nice guit! I’ve been getting into your content as of late. I dig.
My ONLY gripe with Kiesel is that they use a plate-mounted jack instead of a flush-mounted jack. With a price tag like that, I think a flush-mounted jack would be a no-brainer. Other than that, their stuff is consistently incredible
dude I don't know what's better, dat guitar or dat riff!
You know what, I honestly liked it without the double kick drum. Great groove!
2:24 what's this riff?
Up !!
sorry bro lol. I meant "up" so your coment can be boosted, and Nick can see it. @@ori2085
Hell yeah man
Such a nice guitar!! I hope someday I can own one that nice!

Dang man, that thing looks awesome!
Misery Signals vibes. Love it
Yet another thick riff

Amazing my guy 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What is that 2:24 riff? Sounds amazing.

“So different from your other guitars” I sense a bit of female sarcasm. 😂

Well this is inspiring. Any chance you could do one of your templates in Cubase??
Skinniest Christmas tree I've ever seen
Wonder that your mixes are clipping every TRT, however sounds amazing!! ;))
NICE!!!
My Grandma always told me there's nothing more depressing than a Christmas tree with no presents underneath it….let alone no ornaments on it. That tree looks sad AF bro, hook it up! 😂
Nick how do you keep your master volume from clipping whenever it’s pushing the output into the red? Do you just use a limiter on the master chain or does it has to do with the way you have your volumes set up?
bro you're takin all the good riffs :O you're so good though
hahah thanks dude!
Thought the man said “Swamp-ass body” for a second @3:34 hahaha
Got that heavy rhythm tone up for download? sounds sweet
Yo this track is gnarly af. Got some Haunted Shores vibe to it
Dudeee can you please do a tutorial on how you mix GGD PV. I don’t have logic so I can’t get your template and I’m dying to know.
This one goes👌🏻
Strong Misery Signals vibes
What is the fretboard radious and Neck profile (regular or thinner) ?
Thiq rifffff
I cant remember who said it.. but any time I hear swamp ash, I ALWAYS think swamp ass 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Now you can play mid 2000’s metalcore!
You didn’t leave any links for your graphic designer in the description
All fixed! Thanks!
Gorgeous
*kiesel means jelly*
Where did you purchase that chair
You make me wanna spend money I don’t have on a Kiesel I don’t need
low end information lmao
I think it needs more low end information. Just kidding it's fantastic.
😂
