I love to record music but I rarely ever share it, in an attempt to remedy that, I've decided to start sharing some of my music here. Mostly play-along and play-through videos of original content and perhaps some covers from time to time. I hope you enjoy my music.
Quick Riffs No. 90 | Heavy Death Metal Riffs
Here's Quick Riffs No. 90. Some more Death Metal style riffs this week, largely inspired by the staccato groove riffs that Soreption does so well. There's maybe a little more traditional Tech Death influence in some of the ideas here too but at the end of the day, I'd say it's really just Death Metal haha. This one is a lot of fun to play and I hope you enjoy it too and as usual, thank you for watching,

Quick Riffs No. 89 | 7 String Death Metal
มุมมอง 12319 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Here's Quick Riffs No. 89. I've been writing a fair bit with the Ormsby this last week and this is one of the little bits I've put together. Some pretty cool riffs I think but nothing particularly complicated. Quite fun to play though so I hope you enjoy this week's Quick Riffs and as usual, thank you for watching, jjrrecording
I Bought An Ormsby
มุมมอง 252วันที่ผ่านมา
I just wanted to share a quick demo I wrote with my new #ormsbyguitars 7 string. I wish I had bought an Ormsby sooner, now that I have one. It's the first one I've played but I have to say it's probably the nicest guitar I've ever played. Really impressed with the quality and how nice it is to play. Nothing special in the riffs here, just some of the first riffs I wrote when it first arrived, I...
Quick Riffs No. 88 | Death Metal
มุมมอง 28114 วันที่ผ่านมา
Here's Quick Riffs No. 88, I've been writing a fair bit of Death Metal this week and this is one of the things I've written. It's quite tricky in places but not super technical. The biggest challenge here is muting as a few of the riffs definitely have that stop-start staccato goove that really reminds me of Soreption, but I absolutely love Soreption so that's not a bad thing haha. Anyway, I ho...
Quick Riffs No. 87 | Channeling Meshuggah
มุมมอง 31921 วันที่ผ่านมา
Here's Quick Riffs No. 87. I write quite a lot of stuff in this style and although I wouldn't necessarily say every riff here sounds like Meshuggah, it definitely has a strong Meshuggah influence(especially the last riff with the flat 7). As much as I enjoy trying, I'm really not much of a lead player but I decided to put a short solo in the middle as the riff there was sounding a bit empty, so...
Quick Riffs No. 86 | Thall Inspired Riffs in Drop Eb
มุมมอง 26628 วันที่ผ่านมา
Here's Quick Riffs No. 86. As the title says, this is sort of based around the Thall sound. I'm not particularly familiar with the genre but a friend asked me to write some recently so I've given it a go haha. Although it's probably not really proper Thall I am fairly happy with the result and I might try writing some more stuff like this in future. I hope you enjoy this week's riffs and as usu...
Quick Riffs No. 85 | Fun Riffs and Dissonance
มุมมอง 198หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 85, I've been writing a bit more Alba Viking stuff this week so I thought I'd share it here. A lot of the riffs in this one are fun to play but I think the outro riff is my favourite from this one. I hope you enjoy this week's Quick Riffs and as usual, thank you for watching. jjrrecording
Quick Riffs No. 84 | More 8 String Riffs in Drop Eb
มุมมอง 255หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 84, I was writing a bit more with the 8 string this week and it just happened to be tuned to drop Eb when I picked it up so that's what I went with. There's some nice syncopation stuff going on in these riffs and I think they have a pretty cool groove to them so I hope you enjoy this week's riffs and as usual, thank you for watching. jjrrecording
Quick Riffs No. 83 | My Favourite Style to Write
มุมมอง 217หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 83. It's been a while since I wrote anything for my Alba Viking project but I wrote this short song this week and thought I might as well share it. This is probably my favourite style of music to write, it just feels the most 'me' haha. Thrashy progressive heavy riffing with a bit of humour to it. I have about 4 full length albums worth of this stuff written at this point...
Quick Riffs No. 82 | Quad-Tracked Thrashy Death Metal
มุมมอง 1.8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 82. As the title says, this is a thrash infused Death Metal style thing. I decided to try out Quad-Tracking with this one, just to see what it was like. I think it sounds pretty good although I'm not convinced it's worth the extra time it takes, especially when you need it to be tight staccato type riffing. I might try some more in future, but I enjoyed making this week's...
Quick Riffs No. 81 | Drop Eb Riffs on the 8 String
มุมมอง 6342 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 81. As the title says, I've been writing some riffs in drop Eb this week. They're all fairly simple riffs for the most part, nothing too technical at least, but with some interesting rhythms throughout I'd say. Pretty beefy overall and I'm quite happy with how this one turned out, so I hope you enjoy it too and as usual, thank you for watching. jjrrecording
Quick Riffs No. 80 | 8 String Riffs in F
มุมมอง 1972 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 80. I fancied playing a bit of 8 string this week so that's what this is. Nothing too complicated playing wise, but some interesting timings in the riffs, just the usual sort of thing I like to write with the 8 string haha.Also, don't mind the daft little solo, that part just seemed a bit empty so I added some lead for a bit of fun. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this week's ri...
Quick Riffs No. 79 | 90's Style Death Metal
มุมมอง 1792 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 79. I'm still writing a fair bit of Old School Death Metal at the moment and I thought I'd share a few riffs I wrote today for my D standard project. I was having a play with the Invasion drumkit and I really love the vibe of the unprocessed kit for this genre so that's basically what this is. It may well be a case of love it or hate it, but I'm definitely in the former c...
Quick Riffs No. 78 | Old School Death Metal
มุมมอง 1202 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No. 78. I have a real soft spot for Old School Death Metal and I've been writing quite a lot of it for the last couple of weeks so I thought I'd share a little bit of it. This is from a Drop B project I just started yesterday(you can probably guess which band influenced this one haha) but I've also written most of an album worth of stuff in D standard as well. I might share s...
Quick Riffs No. 77 | Death/Groove Metal
มุมมอง 1883 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's Quick Riffs No.77. I'm not entirely sure what genre you'd call this as it's definitely got a Death Metal flavour but with a bit more emphasis on the rhythm aspect. So maybe more djent adjacent? haha Anyway, the riffs are fairly simple playing-wise, just a little tricky with some of the timings but overall I really enjoyed these riffs and I hope you do too and as usual, thank you for watc...

Great riffing great sound great guitar. Did you upgrade the pickups? Which ones if you did? And also what tuning and string gauge do you use?
Thanks very much, these pickups are just the stock Ibanez pickups that come as standard. For strings I usually use a set of 10-80 tuned a half step down from standard, so F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb, and sometimes drop the low string to Eb. Once in a while I'll tune down to Drop D as well but I find that tuning that low makes it hard to mix as it gets really muddy
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks 'm/
very nice
Thank you \m/
Share your amp & eq settings & I'll subscribe 😉 💪 This sounds awesome, btw
Haha, thanks. I used Archetype Nolly for this, it was the 'Nolly's Murmur' preset with a lot of the low end removed from the first 3 bands of the multi band eq and I'm using the 'Down with the thickness' preset in GGD Cali Cabs. Almost all of the low end here is coming from the bass which is going through the 'afeared' preset in Parallax. The master chain makes quite a big difference too though. If you want more detail, I have screenshots I can send you, just send me a message at jjrrecording@gmail.com. I have to point out though, that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to mixing, it's all just tweaking presets by trial and error haha
@@jjrrecording good enough for me, glad I didn't throw my bass away. Subbed!! Ty for responding, & your mix sounds sweet.
@@benbear6337 No problem, thanks very much, I appreciate it \m/
Sounds absolutely killer mate, nice arrangement!
Thank you, much appreciated \m/
drop ?
This one is just B standard B E A D G b e
goddamn gnarly riff dude!
Thanks very much
Brutal 🤘
Thanks dude \m/
Great tone on that guitar. The drum track also sounds like something a drummer would actually play. 🤘🏻 from the UK
Thanks very much, I do try my best to make the drums realistic and the tone is Nolly X. \m/ from Scotland
what brand of guitar is this?
It's an Ormsby, I'd highly recommend them if you haven't tried one
The Goliath matches the playing
Thank you \m/
Niceee sooong duuude, so plz clean this master fuckin guitar plz my friend
Thank you. I probably should give it a clean yeah, but like the saying goes 'clean the guitar, lose the tone' haha
Amazing tight playing! whats the tuning?
Thank you, this is just B standard \m/
“Nothing special in the tiffs here” lol. That was a top five, dude. I’ll be hastily borrowing some ideas from 2:18 🤘🏻
Haha thanks dude, happy to know I've provided some inspiration \m/
Sounds tight on the low. 🎉
Thanks yeah, these pickups sound great \m/
Very well played and great sound my friend 🤟
Thanks very much \m/
One thing that I Iove about all of your riffs is that regardless of the genre that you're tackling, you always keep interesting time sigs and rhythm. Fantastic job, as always!
Thanks very much dude, that's definitely the thing I love most about writing riffs, so it means a lot to hear that, thanks again \m/
0:22 favorite part.
Thanks, I love thrash style riffs too, first genre I ever got really into \m/
great stuff man, nice lead
Thanks very much \m/
very nice
Thank you
what drums do you use?)
This was the OKW Metal kit from GGD, I think it was just the stereo version with a bit of extra parallel compression, nothing fancy
Great playing man the intonation on the D string sounds great which is always hard
You’re spot on man - sounds killer!
Thanks dude, much appreciated \m/
Really good stuff , saludos from Costa Rica.
Thanks very much \m/
I have the exact same guitar 🤟
Cool, it's an excellent guitar, especially for the price \m/
I’m a simple man. I see the word meshuggah in my recommended, I click.
hahaha I could say the same about myself
sikk bro!
Thanks dude
Brutal🗿
Thanks \m/
Sick riffs and production. Awesome
Thanks very much \m/
Fantastic!What brand and gauge strings.Was your guitar Plek machine service?
Thank you, I think I used a set of NYXL 10-80 strings here, although I can't remember for certain, that's what I use most often on this guitar. It hasn't had any set up beyond what was done at the factory, all I've ever done is change the strings haha
Love it 💪
Thanks dude \m/
💪💪👍👍👍
What is the thickness of the strings for such an arrangement?
I used a set of 10-80 here, that's what I use most often for the 8 string
@@jjrrecording thanks
👏👏👏👏👏🤝
Thanks \m/
Heavy as hell, and yet crisp and original. Diggin it!
Thanks very much \m/
Very impressive. Djent hard Meng.
Thank you \m/
Awesome as always 💪
Thanks very much \m/
sick jams
Thank you \m/
Fantastic!What gauge of strings r u using?
Thank you, this was recorded with a set of 10-80 NYXL strings
Which string gauges? :)
10-80 for this song \m/
@@jjrrecording Hell, my 8 string Strandberg has an 84 for the low F# (standard tuning) :P Flabby af over there, ehehe!
@@EvilDragon666 Yeah I definitely found 80 to be too thin for D1, I think it's pretty much perfect for F though, which is what I play most of the time
nice riff thats really good
Thanks very much
@@jjrrecording you play very well all of your videos are great make some songs of your own if you would not mind you would make a great metal guy
@@biohazardKandiKid Thank you for saying so, I really appreciate it. I have a lot of music written, I just need to get around to releasing it haha
@@jjrrecording cool cool
@@jjrrecording I would join you in making music we could make some old school acid techno with some metal riffs in it hell ya
Man this guitar sounds killer! Do you remember what amp/sim did you use?
Thanks, yeah, this one was Archetype Petrucci, I used the Awaken the Master preset and I think I removed some low end with the multi-band EQ
Not low enough. 9 string is the way to go.
I haven't ever had the chance to play one, I'd like to give one a try at some point though
I had a similar Ibenez guitar back in the day. I do miss the sound, especially for solos.
I don't blame you, I love this guitar, although to be fair, I love all my Ibanez guitars haha
That's an epic solo/ Love this channel!
Thanks very much, I really appreciate that
Sounds awesome!!
Thank you \m/
i like how it all fits together. each thing adds to one, working together is brutal, for anything 11/10
Thank you very much \m/
BRUTAL Y MANIÁTICO!!... TAMBIÉN EL ESTILO ZOMBIE DE LA GUITARRA!! 💀
Thank you \m/
Dude can you please tell me everything i need to have the same set up fucking inspirational
Thanks very much, sure thing. I use a Scarlett 2i2 for input, into Logic. The tone here is Fortin Nameless(One tone panned hard left and hard right, another tone panned about 50% left and right) The bass is Shinzbass and the drums are a blend of GGD Metal with the snare and kick from Architects blended in, and a small amount of one of the snares from Modern and Massive, though I can't remember which one at the moment. Besides that, I have a subscription to Slate Digital that I use for all the processing plugins. Probably too much to list in a comment but if you send me an email at jjrrecording@gmail.com I can send you some screenshots of specific settings. I hope that helps \m/
Awesome riffs
Thank you \m/
