The man did a fade out while explaining not to use too many fade outs. Dean always finds a way to bring the class. Classy 'n shit.
I love this series. So many good songwriting tips.
Yes, for non song writers. It's like the Blind leading the blind.
@@Charlie_Chicago what did you mean by that?
Daniel Batista really nailed the black metal ambience with the recording quality/tone.
Yes. I like. Metal is slick as two dicks nowadays and I hate that shit.
That fade out explanation of the fade out riff was top notch my dude
Suggesting adding a D-section for the dude that's inspired by dissection is some next level comedy mr Lamb, well done
I like the idea of giving the listener some credit
Oh shit, thanks so much for the tips on my idea! I think I’m definitely going to be borrowing that Fm into G#dim turnaround idea, and the fade out thing makes a lot of sense... not sure why 2016 me was trying to make it a repeating chorus riff lol. Stoked to see more from this series!
For what it's worth I think it would also work fine as a chorus, it's a bit busy but that's not exactly an issue in metal. If you're having trouble writing a way out there's also the classic "whole band just hits a big downbeat and then rests for a couple beats, then launches into something completely different" technique, just as much of a cop out as a fade but with the advantage of being able to work just about anywhere in a song as long as you don't overuse it.
It's a cool riff, so I'm sure whatever you do with it will turn out great!
Ayy, we meet again😅 cool riff tbh. Idk when my submissio will show up cuz I think I either gave too late if he's going from earliest to latest and too early if he's going latest to earliest lmao.
If it were me, I'd keep the riff with a simpler drums and harmonize it and then move towards a blastbeat with the harmonized riff and then ascend higher to a halt and break.
@@TheSquareOnes Thanks for this and for the kind words, that's also a very good point re the stop into downbeat trick - I find it can be tough to not fall into overusing that, but I suppose it could also totally be something like chorus - stop - verse - ... - chorus into solo into fadeout too. Either way, lots to work with - cheers!
@@lemniscatusofficial We do meet again :D I did submit mine super early (right after Ep 1 dropped) so perhaps that's the order he's going in. But a harmony could also be fun and keep things more interesting to the listener, especially if I maybe keep the groupings the same but ascend the scale with a subsequent repeat or something. Will def try out!
Also you should join Dean's discord if you haven't already, there's a solid community on there and I feel we keep running into each other on Archspire content lmao
Your content is always a pleasure to watch, Dean.
I expected a second fade out to end the video. Cmon Dean the slam dunk “too many fade-outs not enough ideas for endings” gag was RIGHT THERE!!
2:37 idk if that was a “dissection” pun but I loved it anyway
Im using all of these ideas
"break the expectations". This is the info I needed. Seriously. Thx
Best soundbite 'I like a c section' 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent tips on the audience guessing where it is going and being predictable, so true
Dean, I fuckin love this series. Super helpful to get me out of my box and think about things differently. Thank you.
Got to agree with others that this is a cool series to follow 👍🏻 The same i can say also for the series where Dean and Claire learn new riffs from other bands.
Thanks to those i have found couple of new bands as well to listen such as Inferi, The zenith passage, Spawn of possession, Necrophagist, The beyond creation, The first fragment and so on :o and the song bleed the future was probably also another key for me to get interested with these other bands as well :D thanks Dean and Claire, really cool :)
This was a good video I like very much, thanks Dean Lamb of Archspire
Bleed the future is quickly becoming my favorite album of all time!
I need to know is the ending riff/solo of acrid canon based on anything classical? It is has free real estate in my head...
Dean's motto: speak softly and carry an 8 string!
Also: be small.
MASSIVE thank you, from somebody who just got into writing!
My interest in these videos is 1% for the musical insight and 99% for the changing text form visual gags
This is just the best.
Great ideas for the second part (chord strumming) of the first riff
That was sick. Especially the last one. 🤘🏽
and the series was never seen again
I loved your take on these, the original products were already quite good, in my opinion, and I enjoyed what you added.
Also, I'm currently wearing the same Mario shirt you have on in the video, nice! 🤘
That fucking ENDING!
@2:35
Dean: I'd like a C-section 😬😬😱
he also wants a D-issection
These are fun and really interesting, more please!
I learn so much from watching your videos.
I like how you basically suggested the first riff transition into the Rugrats theme tune haha
this is fantastic, really cool way to interact with your audience.. h. cheers
ahh man totally gotta submit something now.... Love your channel man!
I gotta get back into writing...
Great video, Dean. Solid ideas.
Fade outs r ok in very narrow circumstances. It has to work well with the progression of the song and the flow into the next track. I like necrophagist way of leave out the same door u came in. An intro riff that doesnt get repeated anywhere in the song....except that its also tbe outro. Kinda lazy bit it works better than the fade.
Works really well if your song is sort of "cyclical" in theme. Drapery Falls by Opeth is a good example
@@RohannvanRensburg V good song.
Lamb’s Chops. Hilarious.
Love you for doing these shnookums.
This was super cool. Thank ya
MORE OF THESE!! super helpful.
That new videos serie is very awesome!
The ending to the first one sounded like the legendary beasts theme in Pokemon Crystal
Dean quit playing with my expectations!
Hope you been well brother
Just my 2 cents, but I think this is your best content.
Awesome stuff, Dean.
Youre a sick songwriter, but thats obvious. Love this
The fake out fade out was classy LMAO
LOL - the fade out in the video while talking about having to many fade outs means you don't have ideas on song endings. Nicely done.
Love this series!
Great content, mate! Keep it coming
I have that same Mario shirt 💕💜
Very good playing guitar 🎸. Rock 🔥🔥
Sick series
I’m late again, fuck. I really like this series. 🤘🏻
So rad
Nice fade out
new episode please!
Hey Dean! Greetings from Mexico bro! I enjoy a lot your vids, you can learn a lot of how improve your gtr skills. Btw I love that guitar tone, which plug in do yo recommend?
To Daniel Batista: Listen to Ihsahn solo work, it will definitely give you a lot of cool ideas!
@DanielBx Start with the album "After".
I’d love to submit a riff I’ve had in mind for years. What can I used to tab it out for you? Looking forward to some feedback from from you :)
Hey mate, guitarpro is the way to go
Tuxguitar is not as good as Guitar Pro but is free and will have the functionality you need.
Question.. Does it have to be a Death Metal riff? I have something more along the lines of math rock that I’m trying to work on.
Do it.
i love you dean
It needs more cow bell 🔔
Both better songs/riffs than I've managed to write 😂
What Noise Gate are you using, and how are you using it?
Box. Stomp.
what are you using to tab what there playing ?
Second half of that riff sounds like Extol.
And their one good record?
How do we submit ideas
You look very albino with your new light set up Dean. That or you’re just really Canadian…
I sent you something like a month ago haha
welp rip series
Think I'm gunna KMS tonight
Dean is looking a little saturated today!
I skip thru the video and land on some 144p black metal riff every single time.....
Great stuff Dean!
