dude i fu@ing hate pentatonic and power chords thats like so 70s 80s whatever and the worst thing is when u watch a guitar related videos and a dude plays the mfking pentatonic . like i wanna buy a guitar watch like thousand videos about it and every mfka plays pentatonic
Guys, just learn your scales and triads. All these riffs are just numerous permutations and combinations of scales and triads. This style of playing is also done in jazz, known as chord melodies.
Getting IBTS/Novelist vibes........absolutely love it! This is such a quality video. Seeing step by step how it all links together an how you constructed the riffs is great viewing.
I watched your chord video and thought “man I really Hope he does a tutorial for riffs” and here it was. This is awesome. Well constructed and extremely helpful! And such a cool riff!
Thanks bro your chords video and this have helped me a ton. I have been playing guitar for about 17 years but these videos really made something click in my head. I have been trapped in powerchord and pentatonic purgatory, and always have been thinking of scale boxes when i recently started to try and play more lead. i only started really getting into drop tunings last year and always thought there was some stigma to it and was so uptight about making sure every note i play is part of whatever scale. but damn, the best guitar players i have met aren't snobs about theory, and just play what sounds good and in key. after those two videos i can honestly say may melody and chord game have improved and am having a blast making chords/melodies in drop a on my new 7 string.
Thanks man, thant makes a lot of sense, it gives me headache figuring out how mark holocomb make those chords until I saw your HOW TO PLAY MODERN METAL.
So a little side note: From the looks of it, when he says the 0-2-4 chords, he is basically saying the chords that have root notes that are all two semitones apart and right by each other. so in a minor scale, it goes whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half. The three notes fall on after the first half step, after the second whole step, and after the third whole step. I know that may be kinda confusing so basically pick your root note (the starting note of your key) and go up three frets, that is your first root note. From that note, go up two frets, and that is the second root. Last but not least, go up two more frets and that is your third root note. If you are in a drop tuning, you can just play the standard power chord on those frets and those will be your chords. (Side note: each fret on your guitar is a half-step).
Id say Ive almost got the hand of writing this sorta stuff started track something similar the other day. but then I see your breakdown you throw in chords with the semi-barre with the 2nd figure instead of 1st and Im just like. Ahhh darrrn thats next on my list.
this was really cool. and the riffs are very awesome. Very Hail The Sun sounding. Much dig. Cheers big bro. the chord flick technique really reminds me of that pop punk tone from Knuckle Puck.
So inspiring content! I was thinking about building a small home-studio.. but now i definitely am. I really want to get such a killer guitar sound. Keep it on, Keyan.! :)🔥🔥
I have finally come to the conclusion that I need a 7 string and get it setup in Drop A. I have realized the bands I like use 7 strings and Drop A seems to be the tuning they use most of the time.
fucking phenomenal! thanks allot for having shed a light on some hurdles ive had in my playing for a while! definitely checking out your chords video next!
I love your tone so much. I'm actually stuck between using GGD Zilla or ML Sound Labs' MIKKO plugin with Archetype: Plini. Which do you find to be better?
I don't know if it's my tone (or my brain) but whenever I play a chord followed by single notes I hate the way it sounds. Though I've been learning Scarlet and that has helped me with learning the notes I usually know in Drop C.
im a drummer trying to learn guitar. my biggest issue is teaching my middle to pinky fingers to press notes but it just wants to roll up like im holding a stick lol
Hey Keyan, thanks so much for all the work you put in to your page. My question is are you practicing this riff to a metronome? if not, how do you go about playing it time and recording etc. thanks man!
When I record it’s always metronome and drum part in the background. I think my internal BPM clock has just gotten better over time. That part in the video where I play the whole riff just on guitar the the rolling tab, I coped and pasted that rolling tab from the actual song section and it just fit almost perfectly. Practice makes perfect
Keyan Houshmand Live thanks, Keyan. I have been practicing all my riffs in my daw with a click. Been having some trouble finding the right time signature/bpm on some of the more prog riffs. Any advice on that? Thanks again for the reply.
@@bryanbernstein83 try to play just the chords and focus on the down beats until you have a good feel for the outline of the whole riff/progression, and then start dropping in the lead lines and all that but keeping your focus on the down beats and chord changes. bring the tempo up slowly and things should start falling into place.
Dude, appreciate these lessons so much. I was trapped in power chord and pentatonic purgatory for years until you started making these videos.

@@Dobro-gq8iq Because it's a commonly used scale. You can still play pentatonics and still be melodic. Of course you have to use them differently
"sounds a little something like this"
*plays impossible riff*
Me: throws guitar in garbage
Lol
These riffs aren't nothing compared to technical death metal lol
@@braxtonfps3580 one band... Archspire. Brutal murder to both hands
@@Greatbasinpalms and the best part is they can play it live with no problems
What is the tuning?🙏
Ok, now I'm inspired to write something like that and I am sure that I will give up after first 15 minutes :/
Same here, man.
The starting riff sounds like an anime op hands down
With tabsssssss
Christmas up is early
ahahahaha

Realizing The Fall of Troy created this "modern metal" 15 years ago lol.
Thought the same lol
The Fall of Troy are too underated as a band.
I mean... ya 😄
Which songs by them?
Completely different type of music
ngl if you made an ep i would buy it 10 times
I'm gonna hold you to that
@@KeyanHoushmandLive dont mind if you do
Nice pfp. Love The Dark Pool
ur a talented boy Keyan. Looking forward to hearing more stuff like this.

This riff was so so wonderful. So catching, so acrobatic, so much fun :) great lesson as always man

Nope. Not a clue. Thanks for trying anyway.
Your channel is invaluable. So much good information. Also you are an excellent player and I really dig your riffs and compositions. Respect bro.

Nice work Keyan, always enjoy your videos
Hey Keyan! thanks for making this video! Rock on bro!
been waiting for a video like this for a while! Thanks!
This was a brilliant lesson! Can't wait to get started with modern metal riffs!
The 0-2-4 system is going to be a game-changer for me.
That's freaking genius, Keyan. Another awesome content! More power to your channel!
Bro I started using it and it HAS been a game changer. Really gives you that Polaris-esque sound.
@@itzGZUSbetch man that's fucking awesome. I gotta try this tomorrow! More power to you dude!
Man, I been looking for a video like this for a while, very helpful thanks.
Big fan man. I'm a fellow guitarist and find your videos just amazing. Ever thought about a video going through writing guitar harmonies
Dude, this is what i want thanks a lot❤
no words sir ,,,,, u r my motivation ,, this video , this channel
Absolutely love your work mate. It's so good. I get alot of inspiration from you. Keep it coming 👍🏻👍🏻
13:21 what if the broken down riff was rythem?
Nice Riffs. Gonna try it out.
Sick riff, reminds me of some old school counterparts.
Thank you for the tabs and thank youtube for .5x playback! This was super fun to learn.
Keyan, very nice content.

WOW THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!

Awesome lesson man
Sounds pretty awesome!! Make Vildhjarta type riff. I learn so many things from you. 💯
Damn you, Plini Lite...!! You rock too....!!!
Thanks for the lesson man. You're awesome!

Just like making a story when constructing a riff
So inspiring content! I was thinking about building a small home-studio.. but now i definitely am. I really want to get such a killer guitar sound. Keep it on, Keyan.! :)🔥🔥
This is ..."ON FLEEK"!LOVE it , REALLY MODERN SOUNDING💯💥🤟thanks,mate,same reasons i subscribe.

Thank you, king. You da best
Intro riff kinda reminds me of Counterparts in their YNYA era
fucking phenomenal! thanks allot for having shed a light on some hurdles ive had in my playing for a while! definitely checking out your chords video next!
which guitar is this? doesn't look like the ht6 that you normally use!
It's new! It's a Pro Series Juggernaut upgraded with Bareknuckle Ragnarok Pickups, Hipshot bridge and Gotoh locking tuners
@@KeyanHoushmandLive glad it made it to you safely mate! Still sounds great 😍
Great sound, great tutorial, thank you 🤟🔥
awesome as usual!
My boy got that LED strip lighting going
aye
About tuning drop?
Awesome lesson Keyan!
You are incredible
I love your tone so much. I'm actually stuck between using GGD Zilla or ML Sound Labs' MIKKO plugin with Archetype: Plini. Which do you find to be better?
Does anyone have the tabs for this video? Its not available on Patreon anymore...
Dark Sounding Chords for next video....cheers from Indonesia

Amazing series!!! Which band you recommend to covering and learn apart from Napoleon?
Wow! stunning!

Your the best 😎👌
MAKE MORE OF THIS PLSSS.....

Thank you very much for your vedios 🤟🤟🇱🇰
automatically, i subbed :)

Though I've been learning Scarlet and that has helped me with learning the notes I usually know in Drop C.
fusion of both my dude tone and the hands. you'd be surprised how much technique contributes to your sound
Just keep at it. I try to come up with a original sounding riff with each song I do. It’s a lot of fun.
Amazing style! Did you have a teacher at some point of your guitar learning?
amazing!
What fantastic intro have you created that you can listen to somewhere?
Dude can you make a course? I'd buy it lol
What chord was that at 04:43?
keyan idoll
this is sick. do you have more stuff like this on your patreon?
Nice HT6 pro series! How are you liking it?
It’s awesome!
Are you using Archetype: Plini? could you share the preset you're using in this video?
Do a review on that Jackson Pro please
i feel like this should be a new veil of maya riff
Full song please
im a drummer trying to learn guitar. my biggest issue is teaching my middle to pinky fingers to press notes but it just wants to roll up like im holding a stick lol
Keyan did you start out learning in E standard with pentatonic and major/minor scale using 3nps in 7 position (modes)?
Dude, you're an inspiration!
Epic👍👍
Which camera do u use again ?
Sony A6400
@@KeyanHoushmandLive thanks 😏
What scale that you use ? Sorry for asking this, cuz i just start to learning guitar 🙏
@Ryan Trump2020 may i join the league ? Where should i go to make a requester ? Please tell me 🙏
Try this in standard B tune
tuning standard ?
You're the champ.
THat riffffff!!!!!

Recording metal in FL? Thats kinda meta my guy
i think that riff is similar lto
J rock riffs
Keyan houshmond I feel bad watching your videos cause your awesome and i end up being a such a hater cause I wish I could construct riffs like that
this is why you need theory; so you can communicate your ideas. Basically this video can be boiled down to, dick around until you like it.
Modern metal is just western anime music
Where IS the tab
