How to write a riff like Polyphia: just remember “JBD” (Just Be Danny)

Lol just remember "Yau" can do it
This was an amazing breakdown. What a decent process for writing music. 😆
What is that emoji bruh

That full riff at the end is beautiful! I wish You to get featured with Tim and Polyphia one day : )
Polyphia uses variations of the IV - vi and i VI v VI V a lot. Also e minor/g major or b minor/d major scale for a lot of harmonics.
Instructions unclear my guitar exploded
now when you simplified everything and all came down to the specified list of steps I started realizing that i just dont have imagination to come up with a melody :D
lol same here
I feel that. Melodies are so difficult.
There seems to be a lot of processes for fleshing out a song once you’ve established a great melody, but not as much regarding writing melodies.
To me, melody writing feels like the most human, and least automatable part of the process.
I do find singing to be the most useful for me melody wise though.
Wow dude! I don't think I've ever seen a breakdown and tutorial like that. Covering catchy riff, chords, theory, and style. And making something so complicated almost seem easy. And I've been playing, teaching, and performing for years. Thanks so much Danny! You rock!
Hey Danny, hearing you play at the 2:30 mark gave me me think that you should definitely do a cover of Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love, you got that same rhythmic pattern
Honestly that part reminded me of Something about us by Daft Punk
Ichika Nito drawing in the back, Tim on the front.. this is channel is on another level!
Just wow.. the way you play makes me enjoy music in another way
Absolutely precious content. "The most important life skill (yes it exists) is to see things the way they are." Tks for sharing your wisdom, sir!
Ohh I heard Can’t Stop! Frusciante is a legend in my book!!!
Amazing breakdown!!!
The main man who inspired me to play guitar
This was solid. To not only write in vein of Polyphia esque. But just general composition, this was super helpful!
I really want to hear Danny play more of Just the Two of Us 😋
i can hear all these great riffs in my head by i cant play good enough to make them fast enough before i forget. One day ill do it. One day.
Tim said he thought of the Euphoria riff while he was getting a haircut, so he stopped his haircut right there and hummed it on his phone so he didn't forget it
@@terminusarms113 imma have to do that fr
Wow, that melody is fucking amazing. You should do a full song
Wow your tone got even better
DAAAAMNN! High-key fire! Release it!
I've seen Tim break down his method, and although your approach is different it's way easier to digest. Really loved this video!
The drummer part is really interesting, never thought about it like that
This is one of the most insightful and concise tutorials I’ve ever seen in my life.
everybody's favorite humble flexer
You're really good dude !
真係太勁啦 , 簡而精 , nice work !
ngl this was a LOT more helpful than the 'how to write a riff' series
The ability to explain something very complicated in terms that even an idiot like me understands it … that is a sign of true understanding and mastery of a topic.
And now I need to stand up, get my hat to lift it before Mr. Danny Yau.
This was truly inspiring and helpful.
Dude you’ve gotten so good! I remember watching all your videos a few years ago when you first started covering the Polyphia stuff, your tone and cleanliness have evolved so nicely. Keep it up man!!
I like you, you're an example of self-learning based on incredibles DIY tips
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom Danny! Awesome tutorial
I dig the Tim cut out 😆
Love the tutorial!!! its short and simple🔥
bro i really love your channel,best guitar channel ever:)
Amazing lesson. So simple in its theory and idea but the application is something I’ll be working on for a while lol! Never thought to play rhythm and think like a drummer before! Great advice - subbed 👏
You have just inspired me enormously! Thank you for explaining with and without music theory ! :)
Now im off to experiment with different progressions and melodies and come up with some groovy melodies. And try not to sound like polyphia. i thought your songs sounded quite original! Rock on 🤘! :)
and then as many harmonics as you can possibly use to break it up and you’re good to go
Wow. Very nice approach! Not only on copying Polyphias style, but also on how to make it your own. Big thanks!
That last step shook my brain up
NOW WE NEED THIS IN FULL VERSION of "EVERYTHING"
I thought this was the full version of a past video, damn
Ah, drawing the Mona Lisa to make a perfect circle
great lesson!
you're a genius... keep up the great work.
That was quick, slick, coherent, immersive and beautiful. Thanks from a guy who just learned Playing god ;)
Great tutorial man, the 'drumming' part was something I didn't consider and I'll surely try it out; thank you!
Awesome I love the concepts! Intuitive and simple while maintaining elegance
At first I didn't think this could make sense. But it did
Appreciate ya Danny, this is super insightful
Now I found new techniques that can improve my guitar playing just need to get my guitar and practice more and more everyday again cause I think it's time to get back to the one that saves me from depression
Wow ! Thank you very much ! You're a genius !
Thank you for your service sir
you're insane man! good job!!!
Finally, you confessed the top secret.
This just further explains, when tim said "most of my riffs are chord melody focused" or something appon those lines in his breaking down a riff series
this would make an awesome series 🎉
Danny, you’re a very likable guy, keep it up ✌🏻
Very helpful, Danny! Keep up the amazing work you are doing
Thanks for sharing! That was really cool

tysm broo this is awesome!
Very good .Thank you!
amazing danny 👏👏
The Tim head is brilliant hahahah
As someone with those same initials, I had to do a double take when you mentioned it in the video lmao
Question The list of 4 chord loops I can use: The numbers 1 3 2 5 mean (E min7 , G, F#/D, and B7??) I have no idea. I think number 1 means root chord? Im trying to learn your song here. The Root chord is E minor. Fascinated, I love you added Dmin7 and G7 within E minor chord progression? Sounds great, I can definitely use that.
WOW
Awesome
SICK!
Don’t forget tons of hybrid picking!
wow
nice break down. the chord progression reminds me of a red hot chili pepper song :)
he showa that it is from can't stop
It is lol
@@MrDannyyau I wasn't sure, since I haven't listen to RHCP recently :)
GREATH
very helpful!!!!
Sick video
🙌🙌 very cool!
Te quiero mucho, Danny
lol the ichika head in the background 💀
Thanks:)
you make it sound so easy LMAOOOO how can you play something as complicated as a polyphia style riff and be that calm?
Instructions unclear... House is on fire
The last part on how to add fillers on how Tim Henson explained.
Hook - Flex - Hook -Flex

bless🙏
