What can you do with 6 root notes covering 4 frets? I'll explore different picking techniques and chord shapes . Guitar is tuned to Eb standard so plug in and let's Riff Out together .
This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite guitar/metal TH-cam channels. He's showing how to create riffs that actually sound good, and he's making it accessible to others. This channel emphasizes creativity, not just rote memorization.
Thank you so much your support means alot . You exactly understand what I’m trying to convey how 6 notes using a variety of styles and techniques can become your own riffs. Comments like this keep making me want to share my ideas and build a community of players who love the art of playing guitar 🤘🔥🤘
Megadeth is definitely a big influence and dissecting amazing riffs is my bread and butter 🤘🔥🤘appreciate you checking out the channel and leaving a comment
These videos are perfect for me cause I don’t have the attention span to learn full songs, I just press random notes and they sound good. been tryna “learn” more lol
This is the first video I’ve ever seen from you and you immediately earned my subscription for playing actual death metal riffs, that was sick as hell!
Great stuff, thank you! I'm getting into guitar at 61, and even thought I didn't grow up with this music, I like the sound of it on guitar with the nasty settings you are using.
Really appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching the video. I definitely think I’m onto something with the format I’m using which was literally created to help out some friends and to my surprise other people are finding them useful 🤘🔥🤘

Been trying to tap into more of my death metal writing lately and I think this is going to help a ton. Thanks for this awesome video and keeping it simple! It’s super helpful! Keep it up!
Thanks for some ideas. I’ve been working on some thrash death metal and this is gonna help me expand on the idea I was already working towards! Dunn has done it again!!
Welcome, appreciate the comment and feedback . It’s amazing this video lesson is still receiving views and getting good feedback I’m still learning how to create videos for TH-cam.

LTD guitars feel so good, I got the kh 602, but I wish I would have looked into that one you got, it's so pointy and badass. Anyway thanks for the tips this has been super helpful and fun :D
LTD are killing it lately and your guitar is still awesome those bodies are super comfortable to play and have amazing necks.

@@DUNN.. awesome, can’t wait to see what you put out next! I’ve only been playing for 3 years now and just joined a band so these videos have been great for giving me more ideas!
@@portalface7167 let me know what parts of your playing your looking to work on or concepts you’d like to adopt. This is my first month on TH-cam and I want to create a community that inspires and encourages each other to develop their skills on the instrument we love.
@@DUNN.. Yeah I’d say some lead guitar ideas would be great too or at least some more technical ideas, like you could give some sweeping ideas, legato ideas, or even just fast alternate picking licks for a solo, I know sweeping with taps on it would be a good one too! For me I have to work on all of those more and especially just when it comes to really fast shred parts trying to get my hands in sync and getting a consistent take every time is a bit of a pain, I’m new to soloing so I’m trying to improve my soloing skills in all aspects especially just having a good feel for the solo so trying to find a good balance between shredding stuff and more melodic ideas without it being all 16th notes haha
@@portalface7167 definitely got you covered on legato and tapping, and have some good alternate picking runs, for the sweeps I’d check out Bernth probably the best guy in the game for teaching full shred
Hey Dunn. Great video. Gonna comment before your channel blows up and you wont have time to reply everything. Is that just the tone from the amp? Has a great sounding grind to it. Almost as if you had an HM-2 plugged in.
Just using a Ibanez TS9 as a clean boost in the classic setting Into a MI Audio Megalith GAMMA. Really appreciate you checking out the video and the positive feedback 🤘🔥🤘
I'm back Last time I said it was similar to a byzantine scale shape, also called double harmonic minor scale,and it does. Those 6 notes are in one shape of A# (if you are in standard D) or C (in Standard E). It's the third shape (octave on first fret 2nd string and third fret 5th string). Byzantine scale is very fun and particular. It has oriental-mysterious vibes and it is used by a lot of metalheads. Its peculiarity is that the shapes are mirrored, as you have a mirror between 3 and 4 string. The shape he is using includes 0s and it goes: E 0-1-3-4 A 2-3-4 D 2-3 G 0-1-4 ( or 0-1) B 1-2 (or 0-1-2) e 0-1-3-4 If you folloy the (...) you will get its mirrored form. As other scales you have 5 important shapes but also you have other additional shapes to connect those 5, also variations with 3 or 4 notes/strings. Byzantine scale has about 25ca possible shapes. Another variation of Byzantine scale is used a lot in Gypsy music and it's called Hungarian scale. Hungarian scale I very difficult because you have to stretch your hand a lot skipping 2 frets(1-4) but not painful as Hirajoshi scale (you have to skip 3 frets 1-5 a lot)
Thank you so much for your detailed response , I’m definitely going to look into this scale more. It’s amazing how I have gravitated towards it with no theory training. Once thank you for your time and effort in sharing your knowledge greatly appreciated 🤘🔥🤘
@@DUNN.. yeah music theory is awesome. I think everything we do on guitar has some music theory behind, also random things. Many times I was jamming random things and then a jazzist arrived speaking music theory. Always sounds as ancient sumerian to me.
@@DUNN.. Don't worry, I think we are all here to learn from each other: I give you a fun scale, you give me some patterns to play on guitar. Next time you will teach a cool riff to your community and someone else will teach you a fun technique. I think that's great, a community based around sharing knowledge and art in which everyone learn something new. Also I see your last video, the riff was hot as hell, especially the fingering part after power chords. What guitar have you used? It looks like a Dean, that black satin colour is awesome, I have the same on my jackson 7 string dinky, my top 1 favourite guitar, awesome quality for that price. The only downside of satin black is it get easily dirty, sweat stains, dust ecc. Do you like 7 strings guitar?
@scolapastajoeilpittore2974 yes it’s a Dean ML from 2006 . I definitely like 7 strings I made a 7 string tab lesson recently on my Ibanez universe 7 string and will be releasing more 7 string videos.
@@DUNN.. that's awesome to hear! I definitely will look for that tab video and next ones. I have some difficulties in using the 7 string couse it has a so damn low sound so fast tempo riffs sound a little bit muddy, I enjoy hearing all notes clearly, but it's awesome for intros and breakdowns, like some hard Doom/Stoner stuff and some low fast palm muted chugs. In fact I don't enjoy much a tendency of modern metal in getting very very low sound, 9+ strings tuned 2 steps down. Man if you want to be that low just take a bass. I notice some of these bands are just investing in lowering the sound rather than technique or brilliant riff writing. Maybe is just my ear that is not used for that fast tempos 7 string sounds. I've got my Jackson tuned in drop G# with earnie ball 10-62 gauge. I think are the best for death metal cause they have the right tension and it's awesome for tremolo picking. You can play in standard A as you are playing in standard B with regular strings.
2:17-- Schuldiner approves. Nice vid! Edit: We need pinch harmonics in DM. I always say a great song for learning DM is Crown of Souls by Deeds of Flesh
@DUNN.. I'm way out of the metal loop so don't even know what's good BDM these days. When I get in the mood for metal I just listen to the bands I used to do guitar covers on when I was young- Defeated Sanity, Spawn of Possession, Disgorge, Deeds of Flesh, Wormed, Brodequin, Origin, Devourment, Gutteral Secrete, ect. Any recommendations for new bands standard tuning B-D?
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤘🔥🤘I’m playing through the amp to the left on the screen, it’s an Australian made MI Audio Megalith GAMMA running through the MI 4x12 using a Rhodes shotgun mic on my camera
Sick guitar, tried to nab one myself but they were sold out everywhere by the time I got some money together. How's it holding up for you, are you happy with it overall? I'll probably still get one when they come back in stock. Just found your channel, good work on the vid, subbed.
Holding up awesome absolutely love it, maybe volume knob placement is a little in the way for my picking style otherwise it hasn’t gone back into the case since I got it over a year ago , very solid construction LTD have been killing it for a while now
@@DUNN.. Good to hear, aye I could see my pinky hitting the volume but not a deal breaker. Yeah, I've been impressed with LTD's the last few runs. I have an E-II baritone 7 and at this point I don't really think the E-II's are worth it anymore. Nice to have but these new LTD's play pretty much as good as them for half the price.
@@FiendlingBM I’ve got the an E2 Arrow from a finish perspective being super picky maybe the E2 is a little neater . The E2 has recessed volume knob and battery box and the LTD you have a screw on cover. Playability no difference , the LTD came out of the box setup perfectly I’d definitely buy another one without hesitation 🤘🔥🤘
Easy death metal = Play phrygian dominant on the lowest strings Best scale ever. 90% of the songs I've made use this scale mode. It just sounds evil AF
@@JayLee-od8ob it’s a Very Slayer influenced Riff, that’s the riff in my Slayer WW2 video, I just shift it down half a step for the second part of that riff section
@@JayLee-od8ob WOW !!! Beyond humbled and thankful, I can definitely guarantee I’ll bring my love and passion for the guitar and continue my 35 years of playing with my new Heavy Metal Guitar Family 🤘🔥🤘
Sorry you’ve had to wait that long, absolutely love it , had it a bit over a year now and it’s never been put back in the case and I have 16 guitars from USA 🇺🇸 to Japanese models. It still inspires me every time I play it 🤘🔥🤘
@dunn819 no need to apologize! I actually met sammy and when I told him how many people are wanting his guitar he was stoked on it, I'm glad to hear that because I've waited anxiously and everytime I see someone with it I just go 😫
@@blakeoms you’ll love it hopefully you get it soon , Sammy really did an awesome thing creating this guitar and I’m glad his loyalty to his number one ESP has paid off

@@DUNN.. yeah, there are also called "Hungarian scales", are often used in gypsy music in Balcans. They are very similar to Phrygian scales. There are about 20+ byzantine scales (including variations). Check them out, I use them a lot and sound very death/black metal.
@@DUNN.. how would you use Hirajoshi scales in a death metal riff? I like them a lot, I love Japanese music but their sound make them hard to use in death.
@@DUNN.. Yeah that's true. They will be great in a lick or a solo, you can give a Japanese atmosphere with no effort, but they are very difficult to use in death metal because we are not use of their type of melody in death. It's very difficult to make them work with death metal rhythms. They would sound great for some epic/power stuff, metalcore.
Hello you there Dion Tillman here, let me just say no way you people I have no effects no strings of my choice, just what ever the guitar comes with, and I don't have my own home, I live in a facility so I don't practice as much as I want, and on and on, I'm self taught and I use my own tunings, you people think what I do is easy because I'm doing it,and by the way, I'm just getting started I got a million tunes I made up my self, none of them sound the same, you people reward bad behavior, and you label me black,because you can't control me, I'm immortal, like it or not,

Fuckkkkk that guitar tho, so fucking sick
Definitely is Fucken Fully Sick 🤘🔥🇦🇺🔥🤘
This is great. Can you do a video like this but with drop tuning?
I could give it a go, it would be a similar concept to illustrate the importance of improvisation with a variety of techniques and rhythmic variations
@@DUNN.. that would be amazing
Thanks for these videos. Are you playing in to an amp or a modeler?
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤘🔥🤘I’m playing through the amp to the left on the screen, it’s an Australian made MI Audio Megalith GAMMA running through the MI 4x12 using a Rhodes shotgun mic on my camera
Awesome lesson. Btw what guitar is that, I need one.
Sammy Duet LTD SD2 🤘🔥🤘really appreciate the feedback and support
Man you gotta make a video all about stank face patterns cause this video already covers most of them 😂
My stank face is so bad it’s like someone took a shit in the room 😂😂
YES🤘🤘
🤘❤️🤘
Sick guitar, tried to nab one myself but they were sold out everywhere by the time I got some money together. How's it holding up for you, are you happy with it overall? I'll probably still get one when they come back in stock. Just found your channel, good work on the vid, subbed.
Holding up awesome absolutely love it, maybe volume knob placement is a little in the way for my picking style otherwise it hasn’t gone back into the case since I got it over a year ago , very solid construction LTD have been killing it for a while now
@@DUNN.. Good to hear, aye I could see my pinky hitting the volume but not a deal breaker. Yeah, I've been impressed with LTD's the last few runs. I have an E-II baritone 7 and at this point I don't really think the E-II's are worth it anymore. Nice to have but these new LTD's play pretty much as good as them for half the price.
@@FiendlingBM I’ve got the an E2 Arrow from a finish perspective being super picky maybe the E2 is a little neater . The E2 has recessed volume knob and battery box and the LTD you have a screw on cover. Playability no difference , the LTD came out of the box setup perfectly I’d definitely buy another one without hesitation 🤘🔥🤘
Thanks
My pleasure
cool
🤘🤘
Easy death metal = Play phrygian dominant on the lowest strings
Best scale ever. 90% of the songs I've made use this scale mode. It just sounds evil AF
🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤘🔥🤘
Hi DUNN! What is your signal chain? It sounds killer! CHEERS!
Mi Audio Megalith GAMMA boosted with a Paranormal 2 into Eminence Wizard 4x12
I drop tuned for the riff at 3:00 the muted chuggs sounded beast. I traded the 3/2 for 1/open
Awesome, improvisation is the key 🔑 glad my riff inspired you to write something. Hail the Chugs
Yeah man I play like you. I definitely didn't write it but I tried it drop. Sounded sick as hell 😮
@@JayLee-od8ob it’s a Very Slayer influenced Riff, that’s the riff in my Slayer WW2 video, I just shift it down half a step for the second part of that riff section
You're a beast I subscribed to your channel with the bell on
@@JayLee-od8ob WOW !!! Beyond humbled and thankful, I can definitely guarantee I’ll bring my love and passion for the guitar and continue my 35 years of playing with my new Heavy Metal Guitar Family 🤘🔥🤘
U sir, are very very VERY fuckin clean.
Thanks 🤘❤️🤘
@@DUNN..Are u in a band by any chance?
@@robertleahu No, if the channel keeps growing hopefully I can meet some musicians
What is that guitar!!!??!! LTD but it's an ironbird? 😯 I need it!
Sammy Duet SD2
1:03
the open mouth on the harder riff hit a little to close to home
I gave up trying to control my mouth years ago, it’s totally involuntary and some weird concentration thing I do 😂
i cringe at myself watching me do it but i guess its the only way for me haha@@DUNN..
is that anchang signature ltd?! or was it syu's?
It’s Sammy Duet signature model LTD SD2
I've been waiting for my ESP SD2 for almost a year and two delays how do you like yours?
Sorry you’ve had to wait that long, absolutely love it , had it a bit over a year now and it’s never been put back in the case and I have 16 guitars from USA 🇺🇸 to Japanese models. It still inspires me every time I play it 🤘🔥🤘
@dunn819 no need to apologize! I actually met sammy and when I told him how many people are wanting his guitar he was stoked on it, I'm glad to hear that because I've waited anxiously and everytime I see someone with it I just go 😫
@@blakeoms you’ll love it hopefully you get it soon , Sammy really did an awesome thing creating this guitar and I’m glad his loyalty to his number one ESP has paid off
Looking at this SD-2 gives me buyers remorse that I bought a Jackson instead
Why not have both 🤘❤️🤘
Awesome guitar what model is this?

@@DUNN.. Thanks and btw I enjoy watching your videos you definitely deserve more subs
@@Dustin_John Thanks 🤘 I started uploading videos 5 weeks ago and I’m very surprised that I’m getting so much positive feedback. It’s slowly growing and I’ve already achieved more than I ever expected 🤘🔥🤘
@@DUNN.. Can't wait to see more content from you keep it up brother
качают рифаки Круто очень
Thank you 🤘🔥🤘
Bro can you tell the amp and tone settings.
Mi Audio Megalith GAMMA through a MI Audio 4x12 with Eminence Wizards. Settings I always start with everything at 12 o’clock and increase mids lows depending on tuning and pickup. I also use a boost and switch them up my main go to is a Gary Holt KHDK Paranormal 2
@@DUNN.. thanks a lot man
EN QUE NOTAS ESTAS AFINADO???
Eb tuning is in description
@@DUNN.. You are a teacher, thank you, I am learning to make riffs on the electric guitar and your tutorials are the best
Look at byzantine scales, he use the first 6 notes of one of those scales
I’ll check it out thanks for the information 🤘🔥🤘
@@DUNN.. yeah, there are also called "Hungarian scales", are often used in gypsy music in Balcans. They are very similar to Phrygian scales. There are about 20+ byzantine scales (including variations).
Check them out, I use them a lot and sound very death/black metal.
@@DUNN.. how would you use Hirajoshi scales in a death metal riff? I like them a lot, I love Japanese music but their sound make them hard to use in death.
@@scolapastajoeilpittore2974 that would be tricky, maybe the picking technique could make it heavier but it’s melodic content will always remain.
@@DUNN.. Yeah that's true. They will be great in a lick or a solo, you can give a Japanese atmosphere with no effort, but they are very difficult to use in death metal because we are not use of their type of melody in death. It's very difficult to make them work with death metal rhythms.
They would sound great for some epic/power stuff, metalcore.
sounds like it could be a dying fetus song
🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻

Imagine that
Hello you there Dion Tillman here, let me just say no way you people I have no effects no strings of my choice, just what ever the guitar comes with, and I don't have my own home, I live in a facility so I don't practice as much as I want, and on and on, I'm self taught and I use my own tunings, you people think what I do is easy because I'm doing it,and by the way, I'm just getting started I got a million tunes I made up my self, none of them sound the same, you people reward bad behavior, and you label me black,because you can't control me, I'm immortal, like it or not,
🤘🔥🤘
This is perfect for what I’m trying to work on, thanks man! Greetings from the “Deep South” in the good ol’ U.S. of A 🫡🤘🏻
