Dude, I couldn’t learn ANY of these in A YEAR, much less 5 minutes. I would kill for a SHRED of that talent, and I’ve been playing for since I was 11 on and off
It’s the on and off that gets you. For guys like Nik it’s on and on and on. Nik does have a really good ear though I don’t think I could get there in 1000 years lol
@@swarthygiant1463 nah you get there, most is just muscle memory. Many bands use similar techniques and stuff so you hear something and go "oh yeah he is doing some arpeggios" and then its easier to find on the guitar, visual playthroughs also help
I'm the same, though I think I'm pretty good at identifying notes in riffs I've also been on and off so I can't really execute most of them 😂 guitar really requires you to be actively and constantly practicing
when necrophagist and archspire came on i was like damn these people are trolling the challenge so hard, but kudos to nik for trying anyways hahah. dude youre a great guitarist
Damn that was impressive…they should have to tell you the tuning before hand though that’s too unfair to guess the tuning in 5 minutes and they giving you troll riffs but most metal bands you can figure them out and it’s super impressive
You really learn your capabilities when learning parts quickly. It’s insane and you’re awesome for making the attempt. It took me five minutes each to dead flowers by the Stones and Still Remains by STP to figure the chords out. These complex riffs would take most weeks to figure. A lot would rage and move on
My mans had a digitech DT whammy to try and mitigate tuning time, and spent four minutes dialing in tuning for Lamb of God, I am SCREAMING "Just drop it two semitones and hit the switch" at my screen. Quality content

You are already known on TH-cam as "Metal Musician" or "Guitarist"...This is brilliant content. You are skilled and entertaining and this is fun to watch. (Edit: You don't even have to make it about money. Just you jammin' on a riff by ear for 5 mins is good.)
The percentage of subscribed viewers is pretty crazy actually compared to a lot of people's 10% I see. Also into the earth is a riff I tried learning (not by ear) and I could get it to a generous 70% speed. Got a humongous blister the likes of I've never had before in my life
Great wat of Challenging yourself. Glad to see you still love playing guitar with the same passion and joy!! Now this is some wholesome CONTENT!!! Never stop pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love all the banger songs I find on this channel, chemical carnival is fs on my list of songs I wanna learn, maybe after I’m done with all new materials by periphery 😅
You did Nik dirty here, haha. He actually managed to nail more riffs than I’d anticipated. The Gnome one, for instance, was such a fun nail biting win.
I love your show, this one was really good!!! They sent you some awsome rifs, they were really hard! I saw one dude going up and down the neck like he was sliding through butter!!! You had your work cut out for you. 😎
Hard agree on the dillinger escape plan riff lol, good video. The shadow of intent is wrong too tho he goes up a fret and down again on the lower notes it sucks
Nik has involved from posting a cover almost right after the band released their new song to learning any riff in 5 minutes. Don't know any Pokémon names for him tho.
@niknokturnal I got into Rings of Saturn and I am working on learning something by them,the first thing from Divine Authority,had me fucked up. Have you tried learning their music?
Think you may have come up with a challenge that is a bit too tricky! Although you'd hope that chat would eventually start giving you some genuine interesting riffs rather than just trolling with techdeath. Would love to see this become a regular thing so I agree with some of the other suggestions - tuning time not included, and perhaps being able to bring up the tab if the riff is unrealistic to learn by ear...but if you do that, you then have to play it perfectly or you have to pay double.
This was seriously impressive, success rate or not. Do it again, give yourself 10-15 minutes, and don’t time your need to tune/switch guitars. I think you’ll just have more fun that way
We do expensive metal things here
JAJAJAJ
LOL genius 😂
This is the best comment ever lmfao
I wanna like but the number too nice (it's 420 rn lol)
I feel so homeless
"I played riffs for 2 hours to lose $130." The experience of every metal band.
Now you can get the same feeling from home
bang on 😂😂
Spoiler😢
Yall missed the part where he spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how timers work on iPhones lmao
We need a video dedicated this just nik figuring shit out lmao
So glad editing exists
@@Indigowulfchild4today Nik figures out carpentry
@@Indigowulfchild4😊
I love how most of the people wouldn't even be able to learn it in a week and they're laughing at Nik for messing up after 5 minutes of learning😂
That twitch chat for you. All they do is make fun of whoever they are watching
I would never have a chance without tabs even with a months time :D

Hi Geebz, love your videos, keep it up
Geebz! we're all here! 🐬
Damn, didn't expect to se you here Geebz, nice to see you
when necrophagist and archspire came on i was like damn these people are trolling the challenge so hard, but kudos to nik for trying anyways hahah. dude youre a great guitarist
That “Meu Deus” at 3:06 broke me so hard
I came to comment that HAHAHAH MEU DEUS
COME TO BRAZ...damn he already did
We need another metal legend becoming Brazilian after Oli. Nic has the power to make it happen
Me too kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I had to rewind just to make sure I heard it right kkkkkkk
Pls more of this! "Fast cover guy" LMAO
You didn't deserve the -20 on the 512 riff c'mon
Right? I thought he did amazing on that one!
I demand a refund
bruh chat must HATE your bank account with all those tech death submissions lmao
Damn that was impressive…they should have to tell you the tuning before hand though that’s too unfair to guess the tuning in 5 minutes and they giving you troll riffs but most metal bands you can figure them out and it’s super impressive
Nik takes 3 mins to learn what takes me a week with tabs
He probably plays it cleaner too. Nik is a beast.
“Bleed from within” goes fucking hard though.
Whoever suggested that is a psychopath. There is no way in hell that riff can be learned in less than 30 minutes let alone 5.
You really learn your capabilities when learning parts quickly. It’s insane and you’re awesome for making the attempt.

I like this new “Learn Riff Fast AF Boi” concept. More please!!
Submitting Archspire is just pure torture for a challenge like this. Smart.
Should have put Rings of Saturn
I was hoping the Gnome one would've made the cut. It was fun watching him stressing over it just to nail it with seconds left.
Lmao I laughed so hard when archspire and necrophagist come up along with Nik saying f u guys
I like this. Seeing Nik having to really work on these is great.

whoever gave him Into the Earth did him so dirty lmao they knew it was lorna shore's fastest song
3:06 meu deus kkkkkkkkk
1:19 this made me think of system of a down byob immediately for some reason
5:20 That riff reminds me of Pravus by Meshuggah.
At times we forget that nick is a competent and talented guitarist
This is why subscribed 6-7 years ago and this is why Nik is one of the very few acceptable creators to do reaction videos.
Bleed from within mentioned 🗣️🗣️
We need someone to submit a Vild riff. That shit is hard.
especially if they take a riff like the intro of brännmärkt that is pitshifted a lot/
Make him do detta drömmars sköte en slöja till ormars näste, he'll need a couple of hours just to program the MIDI automation for the pitch shifter lmao
@@static_motion holy shit thank you for this song recommendation
@@pierresauce8307 Enjoy dude, if you liked that definitely check out the rest of the album, it's such a ride. My favourite album of all time.

You shouldn't count tuning in those 5 minutes
"Why don't you guys give me a riff? You guys gave me the bee attack. Buzz buzz buzz"
I lost.
no tabs and only 5 minutes is too short of a window to learn these. The fact he did some was amazing.
The percentage of subscribed viewers is pretty crazy actually compared to a lot of people's 10% I see. Also into the earth is a riff I tried learning (not by ear) and I could get it to a generous 70% speed. Got a humongous blister the likes of I've never had before in my life

I love all the banger songs I find on this channel, chemical carnival is fs on my list of songs I wanna learn, maybe after I’m done with all new materials by periphery 😅
Archspire is goated
Chat did him dirty! Call a redo and make it 2000’s metalcore.
Jesus christ, how do you get this good at guitar?
Agreed with other commenters, listening and tuning before starting the timer would be more reasonable. It's still gonna be tough for a lot of these.
You did Nik dirty here, haha. He actually managed to nail more riffs than I’d anticipated. The Gnome one, for instance, was such a fun nail biting win.
Someone should’ve sent him something easy like “The Game” by Motörhead just so he wouldn’t go broke
Did you just say that lorna shore riff was downpicking....no wayyy, what is he...a GOD!?!?!? LOL WTFFF
This would be such a fun charity stream with the most insane riffs people can find
7:33 Yo Meshuggah in twitch chat lol
Chemical Carnival is lit af, I love that song
loved it. 5min without the tuning would be better. and you could pay 2x if using table and still mess up.
Hahaha!!! Archspire! That's so not fair. You're only human.
did Nik really think this would be better than the wheel? He had to know there will be Archspire and Lorna.
Well it was entertaining!
More of this!!!!! Use tabs if you need too!
Honestly you did an amazing job
Adam De Micco's downpicking makes Hetfield jealous.
No matter what you think you are a ridiculously talented guitar player!! Good job
This is a genius idea
Ok i subscribed again. This was impressive, specially because you appear to be human. But still some kind of musical super human.
All of these choices sounded super difficult geeze lol, still impressed he got parts of them so fast
I love your show, this one was really good!!! They sent you some awsome rifs, they were really hard! I saw one dude going up and down the neck like he was sliding through butter!!! You had your work cut out for you. 😎
I love to see Rif Nocturnal play Niks
Hard agree on the dillinger escape plan riff lol, good video. The shadow of intent is wrong too tho he goes up a fret and down again on the lower notes it sucks
lmao, just noped out of Archspire
He really spent two hours not learning riffs...
Adam De Micco is seriously underrated.
great content nik thanks. it was fun :D
Best concept on this channel for years
Tuning shouldn't count for time, and you get 2 listens through prior to starting. I will love this series.
Also Gungrave gotta be the next one :)
I had a bit of a sucky day today but this video made me feel a lot better.
whats that first song called tho?
3:06 do nada ele manda um "meu deus" kkkk
I feel like tuning shouldn't be part of the 5 mins. Also, you're fkn cracked for learning these in 5 mins.
What was the first song?
Watched the stream vod the same day, this is insane content
a passionate journey - animosity (the solo too)
Imagine if someone sended him a jazz standard to learn
Instant 20$ dollars lost lol
Can't do it, just does terrible rendition of cat scratch fever... I'm here for it LOL
Should be called how to tune in 5 minutes
3:06 o cara meteu um "meu deus" KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK brasil te ama nik 🫶🏻
3:54
3:53
Love ya and ur content Nik.
3:00 need a guitar only version.. maybe?
Where did you get the matte black Petrucci models from? Is that some retailer’s exclusive?
I think tuning shouldn't count for time but also would have been a great opportunity to break out the pitch shifter.
Yeah I would’ve stuck with the metalcore riffs lol, tech death is another level that no one is getting in 5 minutes
3:06 MEU DEUS

As one of the 3 guitar nerds who still watch you this video was sick!
They gave the boy Archspire and Necrophagist. Yall crazy 😂
I’m so pissed I missed this. Would have loved to have him play macrocosm by rings of saturn
What’s the name of the first guitar he uses in the video?
@niknokturnal I got into Rings of Saturn and I am working on learning something by them,the first thing from Divine Authority,had me fucked up. Have you tried learning their music?

This is about to be fire asf
Tuning takes a lot longer than a minute💀😩 - The one drummer that watches this channel.
Necrophagist in 5 min......lol
Commenting and upvoting cause good fun content but also I feel bad for Nick's money so hopefully this helps hahaha
You doing SOI made my day
Love the deftones shirt !
This was seriously impressive, success rate or not. Do it again, give yourself 10-15 minutes, and don’t time your need to tune/switch guitars. I think you’ll just have more fun that way
Wait till you hear walk 😈😈😈
