      Do you double track all your riffs?

    • @CharlieRobbins
      @CharlieRobbins  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not all of them. But sometimes I’ll triple track. especially for the low gain stuff. 2 panned hard LR and one down the center :)

      I usually play in C but I can never figure out chords out of standard tuning. What chords did you use?

    One of the best "guitar lesson" type of video for a bit more advanced players I've seen so far. Simple, helpful, short and right to the point,. But with character and fun to watch. Keep on dude. You're a huge inspiration to me

      I agree this is an awesome approach to creating new riffs.

    • @christianbrobst3486
      @christianbrobst3486 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I believe this type of explanation makes the artist feel exposed. Such a detailed explanation and simplification is believed to take away from the mystique of an artist and allows people to develop it as their own. Much respect to Mr. Robinson for being secure enough to teach the people his pathway for riffage.

  • @maverickpanda
    @maverickpanda 4 ปีที่แล้ว +78

    dude you should totally make this a series!! It'd be great if you broke down the process on some of your other riffs/songs

    • @CharlieRobbins
      @CharlieRobbins  4 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      Bandito yeah, I’m down! As long as you guys would like it, I’ll put in the time 💙

    • @maverickpanda
      @maverickpanda 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Charlie Robbins Yes!! I know I personally would love that! Also what genre would you say this is because I’m looking for more artists similar to you, Polyphia, Covet, Intervals, Plini, and Ichika Nito?

    • @travislee9662
      @travislee9662 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Charlie Robbins yeah totally agree with Bandito. I would watch a whole series on just this video broken down into detail. Favorite chords, progressions, ideas on grooves, the scales you like for the fill in licks etc. your thought process, influences that led to the certain chords or scale use. Maybe songs that influenced how you write. That would be awesome.

    I've been trying to reverse engineer how you play for the last few weeks in some of my personal songs, and it's made my riffs and rhythms a lot saucier. This video made the whole process a lot easier. I hope you'll keep making stuff like this!

    • @matenorth
      @matenorth 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, im asking you because the youtuber most likely wont answer, so, the initial chord progression has to be only different chords or inversions count as new chords? Or you use the inversions for the "fill in the gaps" parts? I hope the question makes sense.
