Man, I've just discovered your channel and Im not gonna lie.....I've been watching every single video of yours the whole day. And I still cant believe how damn well you play guitar, and you still trolling as you do it. Keep it coming mate! Cheers from Argentina!
One little trick I learned from the old guitarists in Cradle of Filth to sound a little less generic is to split power chord parts between two guitars - ie play single note riffs harmonized in fifths. Itâll sound thinner than playing conventional two note power chords on both guitars, but then you create a greater sense of dynamics if you the transition to a heavier part of a song and have both guitars switch to playing/doubling the full power chord.
ill be honest, that fret zealot thing is actually a pretty good idea for beginners If I ever decide to Re-Learn guitar but right handed, ill definitely check it out
the fret zealot is super fun to use, and i have had 3 because it actually made learning significantly easier for me. but they are really fragile and only last a couple months at most, especially if you regularly use your thumb for fretting and muting.
1:16 Old school driving: Judas priest 1:34 Harmonized Pedal note riff: reminds me of some old in flames TBH 2:25 Sabbath worship: very nice, sabbath + 7 nation army! 2:34 Proggy rush worship: I hear quite a bit of dream theater 2:43 Fast power metal pedal note riff: Iron savior maybe? Nice riff :) 3:12 Open string phrygian: wow, nice. Trivium-esque or maybe killswitch? 3:38 Punky thrash: I definitely hear motorhead in this :)
When I saw that there was am ad, I was like.. ugh, another skillshare sponsorship, I guess I'll watch it to support Brad... Holy smoke! Those things on the fretboard look super interesting O-O
Fret Zealot. My buddy and I thought of that same thing, but back around 1978. Drilling holes, using the old style plastic LEDs in single form, routing the wires in a groove on the back of the neck. Then we smoked some Afgan hash, grabbed our boards and went surfing.
If these are cliche riffs, I really want to hear the non cliche ones.
Listen to Death
@@everychannel1025 đ©
Listen to any metal song. Is the riff one of the above? If yes, keep listening until it's not. If not, you found a non cliche one.

That open string phyrgian riff is amazing.

that riff reminded me of 46 & 2 by tool
sounds very lamb of god
It sounded like kill em all
â@@gckbowers411 Yup. Tool are the godfathers of the phrygian scale.
Honestly a lot of these riffs kicked ass even though they're supposed to be cliche lmao
Sometimes cliche is good
chliché doesn't necessarily equal bad, they exist for a reason after all
Remember kids, tropes are tools.
@@creepysplatter9260 yeah it all depends on placement and how you use them in a song for sure. I'm a doom metal musician and theres many tropes in that genre I cant get enough of. Sabbath paved the way and i show my love for that by writing riffs that take inspiration from the really good stuff they've done that I enjoy
A trope and a cliché are totally different concepts.
Tropes are things that people use to define a genre. A cliché is an idea that used to be a novelty, but it got so overused that people associate with uninspired/generic.
For instance when Michael Jackson released "black or white" there was a breakdown where he started rapping for one bar; that got copied so many times it became a cliché.
I like how basically playing every note on the fretboard without any logical pattern has become cliche
Yeah, I think it is not necessarily cliche, but a good general representation of some subgenres/bands idk
Demilich
I really really love it when content creators have a promo that actually correlates to their content. Thanks Bradley!!! Iâm gonna impress my step mom with these

Most of them
1:16 Iron Priest

Which makes me wonder if the video and title came after the song.

Hair metal is the epitome of cliche metal riffs
Metal playing skills drop with hair cut
i feel guilty because you describe them as cliche, but here i am actually liking nearly all of these riffs :(
Cliché dont mean bad bro, your likes are valid
they are cliche because they are good and work
That's why they get used enough to be cliché, they work. People love it.
@@BradleyHallGuitar hard agree. Especially for the early priest sounding stuff you recalled with âdriving riftâ. If youre gonna make Tuff metal, you pretty much have to use cliche riffs lol
Punky Thrash hits a little close to Motörheadâs entire legacy. Lol!

Great video! Sick drums brw
Nice job. Great playing
All these riffs were actually pretty sick !
This video reminded me about 5 times to go listen to old Darkest Hour
the metalcore octave riff sounded like pull harder on your strings of martyr
I like how chuggz 4 dayz and phrygian were like the sequencing sections of a song and the transition was sooo good.
Drop d and octave riffs really did my homies a7x dirty
Slayer's uncut strings killed me! You are great!
2:24-2:32 Seven Nation Army if it was played by Black Sabbath.

Number 1 sounded a little like 2 Minutes to Midnight to me.
Which is the most commonly used riff ever, or some variation of it.
@@sergejmiladinovic1181 Yeah, but 2 Minutes to Midnight did it best, imo.

@@gymnassfan ,of course!
Toxic Holocaust should steal it
Punky thrash sounded a lot like mercenary by tankard
I do like the "Slow and Evil" to have a sinister atmosphere of sorts.
I also like the "Black Metal Triads" (and dyads) for those evil chords.
1:16 Old school driving: Judas priest
1:34 Harmonized Pedal note riff: reminds me of some old in flames TBH

2:43 Fast power metal pedal note riff: Iron savior maybe? Nice riff :)
3:12 Open string phrygian: wow, nice. Trivium-esque or maybe killswitch?
3:38 Punky thrash: I definitely hear motorhead in this :)
Open string phrygian generally reminds me of LoG more
This is actually a really good starter blueprint on major styles of metal riffing.
If you're in a trad band, you're required to write a song with an old school driving riff
