2:35 thats the Lydian Scale. Just if someone wants to know ^^
Thank you so much
i'm in my early 30's just getting back into guitar after not playing for about 10 years. In the short time i have been subscribed to your channel, it has already proven to be such a useful resource in getting my chops back up and even learning some new tricks and techniques. you have such a chill & direct approach to teaching while still being detailed and informative. really happy i subscribed
Hey Evgeny, I’m so glad you’re taking the time to watch my stuff and in return work on your playing. Comments like this make me want to keep going, cheers
damn same case like me
@@saverobahael same here as well (although I started to come back to guitar a couple years ago, I did have a very long break). I also initially picked up guitar back in the day to learn Chili Peppers’ songs, so I’m very much new to learning modern metal. Keyan is a huge inspiration with these big chords and bouncy riffs! Glad he’s using Riff Hard and studying John Browne’s work… that’s where I’m focusing my energy these days and seeing incremental improvements and small wins every day. Good luck getting back into it! The journey is so much fun!
oh mate in 43 , kids wife etc , getting back to playing guitar after years , same than you glad i found this channel!
every single modern metal riff i hear in my ears is just derived from Pale Aura. Definitely not a bad thing, but it just comes to show how people like Mark set trends and these them don’t change. Great vid :)
This is such a great helpful video, thanks for this Keyan
M8 I’ve been going deep on your tutorials and in just a couple days you got me better then in my last year of time. You really make theory make sense. Thank you and thank you Phrygian mode 🙏
Amazing job as always dude
👊🏻😎
I ran into you on a post regarding baritones. Looked you up and I’m glad I did. There’s a lot of us 40 something-year-old‘s that grew up playing Metallica and Slayer and Black Sabbath that got stuck playing power chords for creating riffs. This was good for me. I already have the skills to implement these ideas. Thanks for helping.
Love your tone man!
One of the coolest videos I have ever viewed on TH-cam. Very nice work.
Thanks man, glad you liked it
Thanks a lot man, from the bottom of my heart, for being that "teacher" every guitarist should have !
Glad you found this informative
Thanks for watching guys! If you have any questions on anything you see or hear, comment it! Don't forget to vote and help your favourite entry to win a brand new Mayones guitar! Link in the description
Which drop tune u usualy use to use ?...even in your this lesson video which one you have used...?
This is some good advice, I'm gonna try some of this stuff in Em today and get back with my experience!
Thank you so much for this! I've been stuck in a rut for quite too long and my riffs are all aging. I've been looking for some content like this and I cant express enough how thankful i am that i came across your video. I cant wait to go home and try and practice this lesson. Again, Thank you so much! God Bless you mr!
thanks dude! I'm glad this video can get you out of the rut. There's nothing worse than being in a creative rut, hope it turned out great!
@@KeyanHoushmandLive It really helped me a lot, I learned to get out of my comfort zone and try new things. I'll keep an eye on your next videos for sure, Much love from Philippines!
Dayum dude you opened up my eyes in a way I didn't know I was into these kind of songs I'm a 80s 90s thrash kind of guy appreciate your playing
Dude you are like teaching everyone everything and this lockdown put everyone inside their home and practice more guitar, will revolutionize the metal community to super talented musicians.
This was fantastic man, cheers
Thanks!
Great content bro!! I see a lot of Mark Holcomb / Periphery reference!! Good stuff!
Thanks bro, very helpful. 🤘
That was pretty awesome!
This riff is sick man! 🤟
excellent video, thanks so much for sharing how make these riffs
No worries
As a newbie in this genre I've to say......this video inspired me a lot !! Thx mate
You create the mind of metal ive been narrowing in to. Would love a real breakdown, a how to play!
I really like your content :-D. It doesn't really matter, that you don't understand that much about music theory as long as you hear and feel your stuff :-D. Great input!
Whoa, an Aussie NOT using a Rode?! Never thought I'd see the day!
Great video man! :-D
Thanks dude!
This is very I built the sky esque, love it.
Excelente , tremendo el riff, muy bueno que compartas esto . es una armonia buenisima gracias . muy bueno el canal
Thanks for tutorial dude🥂
amazing advices, new sub man !
Thanks for subbing dude!
great sounds
WOW! That´s impressive!
Thanks!
Dayum this was an amazing lesson.
class video mate, could you make a video on how you choose melodies inbetween chords? like how you decide what notes will work based on what sound you're going for? thanks!
Going to be doing more lessons in time, in the meantime check out Joao's vid on riffing
What the heck chord shapes are you using my guy? These chords are BEAUTIMOUS!!!
You got my vote
9:05 - visual example of a dissonant eargasm
Lol
I felt that the empty space was embraced rather than elaborated, which I find disappointing accents to chords and distance can be helpful to break up the hard breaks, my opinion
Appreciate it...thanks 4 sharing...subbed
Not really my style, but I'm walking away with some fresh ideas. Kudos dude.
this is so usefull thnx a lot..
Thanks!
I think we could be related 😂 great stuff man you’re like a much better version of myself
man, i've been here all day. this riff is FUCKIN hard 😂
sound great
Thanks!
Make more tutorial on how to play modern guitar riffs like this...
Oh wow, this whole time I wasn’t even subscribed to your channel. Haha I’ve been watching your videos for months.
Very cool riff, do you have a guitar pro part of this ?
to work hard and understand the rhythm
do you have a filter on the beginning of the first riff when its just one guitar? I am trying to learn how to do that whoooosh sound where its lofi one guitar and then its a whoooooooosh and everything else comes in
On the guitar it's an EQ that cuts off all the low and high end, the woosh is just a cymbal hit but reversed
Hey dude, i’m trying to write riffs in this kind of style but i’m not really sure about those kind of runs 9:39, do i have to use the arpeggio of the chord(s) or just a pattern from the scale. It would help me a lot if you answered. Thanks for making this video
I have the same question
A mixture of both I would say, and just go for what sounds good to your ears
sounds like a Maj7 arpeggio
Cool riff😉👍
Thanks Paul!
2:30 when "4" matches his talking pitch perfectly
He talks in "4" the whole video haahahahah
@@adriangraven5433 😂😂😂
Great Job!! Do you have the tabs?
The tapping at 5:25 sounds like fireflies YOU would not believe your eyes
I liked very good riff congratulations, which vst drumms do you use?
Thank you! I use GetGood Drums!
Milner-Skudder went from breaking ankles to breaking down riffs
good!
thsnk
Great stuff man! Is the Tab for this riff on your patreon and web?
Well that was fast !
"I will have a hard time explaining it though" - a day before he explained it perfectly, damn
Perfectly might be a bit of an overstatement hahaha, thanks dude!
@@KeyanHoushmandLive As someone with 0 musical theory in the bag, the analogies worked really well to understand what was going on. I especially liked you referring to chords as a "2-chord" or "7-chord" that made a lot of sense while watching your hands move around. What's the tuning though ?
@@MrNiffers Tuning of the competition was in DADGAD
The best tunning
Beethoven used the familiarity trick by returning to a theme with some variation through most of his work. Sounds like your in good company. :)
Yo nice guitar mate
Thanks dude
So much wow
Yep
Sound great.
Can i know your gear??
I have heaps of videos on the gear I use, check out my Periphery Tone Video
Nice..I'm trying to compose a metal rythm piece that combines all genres
Subbed!
When I click to vote for you in the Qatsi contest, It says the page is not found. Need help.
BTW, You are awesome !!! Keep rockin !!!
Just found your channel and you're killin it! Did you end up winning the competition?
Thanks dude! Unfortunately not, but it’s in good hands with my good friend Joao Medeiros who has his own TH-cam channel!
Too bad, your riff is sick!! I'll definitely take a look at Joao's channel
Sick video
Gotta ask tho do you fill your eyebrows in?
Nah bro I'm half Iranian half Italian I don't need to fill anything lol
@@KeyanHoushmandLive Fair play man :')
Anyways, your content and playing is sick asf - keep it up pal :)
this is the best riff ever, u got my vote
Thanks man
That Jackson looks noicceee
based and riff pilled
idoll
What tuning do you use? drop C or drop D?
Hey Keyan, do you have tabs for this song in your patreon?
Couldnt concentrate bc homebois eyebrows are fucking on fleek
The Happy frets on the guitar 1,3,5,7
Hey dude, got any tabs or lessons helping with practicing such riffs? i have troubles playing melody and riffs together
Search Joao's Riff making video where he explains his riff. Should answer your question perfectly
@@KeyanHoushmandLive could you point me a bit more directly? either a link or a video name :) thanks in advance
@@alexmgebrishvili5747 th-cam.com/video/Fxs3cK0TOFY/w-d-xo.html a bit late haha
you said back to 4 referring to fret 4, but the chord was also 4 in the key :D
How do you record you're guitar?
what song was that from the riff you showed at 0;53
Hi which tuning do you use for your riffs?
how do you get that wonderful tone, i'm so blown
most likely an axe fx ii. most guitar players use them nowadays
@@brihilist5236 he doesn't have an axe fx. He uses plug-ins
How’d you get that tone?
Where can I find your music?
Can you make a video on polyrhythm?
Maybe!
what guitar tuning do you use
what the tuning of this guitar ?
wow i didn't think DADGAD could djent
It definitely does!
use stompbox or digital effects?
Digital
Hi Keyan! Great Tone... what gauge strings do you use for that beautiful six-string you got?!
11-56 :)
For some reason it just keeps loading on the site when I go to vote.
I think sometimes it takes a while, maybe try again later!
I had to submit an anonymous vote because of it, social networks login was not working
link of the song played at the end of the tutorial?
It's on my channel under Riffhard competition entry!
@@KeyanHoushmandLive Epic track man. I am Inspired. waiting for more
Full song please
sound setup?
anyone know what tuning he's in?
@kenyan where can i find the full version of this song?
There is no full version, my riff entry is on my channel
@@KeyanHoushmandLive thanks bro! will check it out! any chance youd spill your secret tuning? lol
@@alexdumay6917 DADGAD
Sweet dude thanks! Much luck to you in future bro!
Is this a released song?
Nope
What's your guitar tuning bro?
This tuning was in a variation of Drop c, I think it's DADGAD but a whole step lower
What is your guitar tuning
DADGAD
What's the tuning???
