i wrote a riff for a plant called the dark lord

My place of work recently became home to a plant called "Philodendron Dark Lord". Naturally, I had to make a video about it. And naturally, the video needed music. Thanks for watching and reading.
Gear I used in this production:
Guitar - ESP FX-260SM
Tones - NeuralDSP - Archetype Gojira X
Bass - DjinnBass / Parallax
Drums - GGD One Kit Wonder - Metal / Invasion
Synths: SERUM / DISTINCTION
DAW: Reaper

male plant seeking world domination

We're all here worrying about Ai taking over the world. But really, we gotta look at the plants, bro. They're tired of our crap

[@rileyplaysguitar]

The dark lord has already won my favor. I’m with the plants now

[@zzzzzz69]

Good stuff! Full song?

[@rileyplaysguitar]

Alas, I wrote this purposefully as a short piece to accompany another video I made. However, I may revisit it since it’s a good song starter. Thank you!

[@shontent8704]

Cool. What scale did you use for the clean intro?

[@rileyplaysguitar]

Thanks! I'm honestly not too familiar with theory so I did some research, I believe this is in the diminished scale.

@@rileyplaysguitar Haha you're one of mine, bro.. you play something random and if it sounds good, make it a song

[@rileyplaysguitar]

@@b0uixdevit’s a double-edged sword, not having to worry about what scale something is in and what patterns to follow. But also trying to figure out where I need to go on the fretboard to remain in key can be time-consuming as well.
