Fuck around a lot. To do this stuff I usually just stumble upon a sequence of notes that speak to me, do the same with some rhythms then start trying to connect stuff or use my knowledge to create something/inform me on what could be cool. Then it's just keep fucking around. At some point you'll have a part you're happy with or mostly so you should just track it and get it in the DAW so you can move forward. After enough rinse/repeats and listening to what you've made it will start to show you itself what it needs. Just listen to it when you get a decent way into the song and whatever your guts feels like it wants is what it needs or sometimes you can just chuck stuff together and it'll unexpectedly be insane but that's more rare. Saw someone call it the right brain left brain technique for writing. Use right brain to find something cool then left brain to fill in the rest with what you want to hear. Then just bounce back and forth. It helps to try and relax and not worry about song structure and stuff that you'll get into down the line, just focus on getting stuff written(you can always change it later) and get it in the DAW. When I started taking that approach seriously I've quadrupled the amount of good material I can make in a given week. Just keep at it
@@EthanRadell I intended this comment to be more of a rhetorical question, but I appreciate the awesome response! 🙏 I know I'm stunted at writing for lack of learning other people's songs, I just write, and because my guitar vocabulary is limited, I'm not happy with what I'm writing. I just prefer to write more than learning 😅
That's ridiculous how you can grab any plugins and take all they can offer and beyond, maah Niiiiiib, that was phenomenal! So glad to see guitarrists from my country like Mateus Asato getting plugins signatures, i love Neural DSP plugins, happy Overthinck Riff Thurday my maan!
Really dig the little production tricks you do to enhance certain parts, especially the organ underneath that solo. It just rips through on that first note!
Hello from 9 months in the future. I’m going back through your old content and had to comment on this one in particular. It is fucking INCREDIBLE. Like, damn dude I could listen to this on repeat for days. ❤❤❤
hey Nick, this is one of my favorites!! could you share your mixing/mastering process for these as well? i am curious about the quick mastering chain you typically add at the end of these videos!
I was looking for a DSP Asato plugin demo and got so much more as this is exactly what I want to get into - composing with a DAW. (Total beginner.) Thanks!
New to your channel so catching up on stuff....... This was awesome. I love watching others creative processes. Musically......this one was inspiring. Thanks for what ya do brother!!!!
sounds phenomenal. thanks for this! 🔥✨
Approved
Nvm guys, this is the peak.
Thank you, Mateus 💙
Nick just casually making bangers every week
It's insane isn't it!?
This has to be a full song its absolutely sick.
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!! this goes sooooooo mother fluffin haaaaaaaaaarddddddd suuuuuun!!!!! sheeeeeeesh!!!
this series is how I know how a week passed
😂
Your workflow is something to behold. So damn efficient 🔥
Thank you 🙏
THIS!!!
genuinely the sickest little tune this
I said it on the demo video but dude, I NEED this as a full song. You simply outdid yourself with this one. Just please, full song
Thanks so much!! And like I say every week, I think it actually could turn into a full song 🤞
Man if you didn't it would be a crying shame but don't pressure yourself dude@@nickbroomhallmusic
Fantasic.
This might be one of my fav thick riff thursday riffs, I love that proggy vibe 😍
25!!! Keep em coming!
“Yes the fuck it was” 😂😂😂
Reminds me of intervals
That guitar 😍
Thick Riff Thursday is quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-cam series. Congrats on 25 eps.
Thanks so much! 🙏
Damn that was good !! That little Plini vibe
Wtf this is so clean
Nice name
Very David Maxim Micic 'esque'. Great!
Sick one!
three uploads this week, WAHOO
Very Plintervals, this is so good!
Love watching your videos and how you create music!
(ps, still waiting for Hedwig's Theme 🤓)
What a massive banger, my dude!!
Amazing! Thick riff Thursday or Fikk riff Friday is a highlight of the week
this slaps
You make the kind of music I wish I made.
Make it!!
You can totally make stuff like this. Start with learning a good amount of stuff like this then just put your own vibe and skills to it.
Also felt in love with Mark's music last time! What a fusion he does!
When we get to thick riff Thursday and Nick starts tracking bass.. sheeesh. Plini vibes later on! Great work man
Maaan that’s awesome!! Something like Plini! It sounds pro!
That is definitely the happiest I’ve ever seen you playing bass HAHAHA love it
😂
My mans is lowkey having more fun playing bass than guitar 🤣. Can't blame you, though. The bass slaps hard in this.
Dude seriously I almost peed myself with that "yes the fuck it was" bit. 🤣🤣🤣
Also killer song!!
the synth on the end of that solo was the perfect touch.
WTH Man! you are a Riff Genius! I need this Track in My Spotify Playlist! Can you make an Album with all Thick Riffs! :P
Thanks man!! I may or may not have something in the works for that 👀
@@nickbroomhallmusic I will or will not look forward to that. 👀😂
that tone is killer dude 🔥
love it!, gives me a David Maxim Micic vibe
100% getting plini/david Micic vibes from this
Strong Plini vibes today.
I love how hype you get every time you nail the bass in 🥹
Always great, but you have been on a roll lately.
Happy 25th episode! 🌟
Welcome to grooveland
So damn goooood, how do you do it 😄

“Overthink riff Thursday” 😂 that’s officially the new name. Cheers Cauã!! 🙏
@@nickbroomhallmusic cheers my Niib, love yoou! 🖤
I totally forgot this was a sponsored video until you pulled out the archetype plugin @12:28, that riff goes crazy
this shit goes so hard. It kind feels like plini plus Asato combined
Early novelists
The song you ended up with is insane Nick, great job, love all your videos
They way you get excited about your riffs and what you're gonna do next resonates so hard with me. #thickriffthursday for life.
This episode was AMAZING. My favorite episode yet by far. One of my favorite Thursday/Friday routines now.
Thank so much! This was definitely a fun one
Really dig the little production tricks you do to enhance certain parts, especially the organ underneath that solo. It just rips through on that first note!
Thursday is a good day
Damn that is good!!

❤❤❤
This might be one of the best riffs I’ve heard in a while across all music. This needs to be a full song with vocals etc.
Thank you so much!
Makes me want to sing on it lol
Did you seriously just come up with a banger right there in a single video? WOW, inspiring af.
Thank you! 🙏
man i loved it, one of your best for my style!!
Editing in this one killed me 💀💀
🪦
What dude this is amazing. Definitely deserves more attention holy damn. Thick Riff Thursday album coming soon?!?!?!?!?
I'm so glad I randomly found you on Instagram! I haven't missed a Thick Riff Thursday episode ever since 🔥. Cheers from Italy!🟩⬜🟥
So cool! Thanks so much!! Cheers!
I commented before that lead / synth unison. Omg. Amazing shit.
That was amazing dude
Something feeling better at 2-3bpm faster or slower is definitely a real mood. It can make a difference
For sure!
Congrats on #25 and keep going, it's awesome!
This is so sick! Love the David Maxim Micic influence ❤
Best archetype so far. Getting so many good tones out of it.
People say it sounds like Arch Plini but I stronggggly disagree. These amps feel way different when you play through them
Dayum! This riff freaking slaps. That's my report, back to you Steven
hey Nick, this is one of my favorites!! could you share your mixing/mastering process for these as well? i am curious about the quick mastering chain you typically add at the end of these videos!
It is really good, I love how diverse these riffs and songs are, it is really time for an EP man, I want to listen to these.
Thank you! 🙏 Working on it!
so good, thanks for sharing!
Love your videos Nick, awesome stuff. This one kinda reminds me of Chimp Spanner. Great track, release it please!
These are getting better with every episode!
Sounds amazing! Would be AWESOME to hear Mateus do a feat. solo on this too! 😃
2:20 had me in tears
Woop Woop thick riff Thursday falls on my birthday this week! 🎉🎉🎉
Happy birthday!! 🤘🎉
@@nickbroomhallmusic thank you sir! Couldn't ask for a better thick riff. Sounds wicked!
Siiiick. In particular, that Neapolitan/major b2 chord resolving to the minor 1 in the clean section before the solo is just *chef's kiss*
The bII major always hitsssss
Sounds good! Do you have any mixing courses?
Sweet doggo in the background is having the sleep of his life.
sick, love the intervals vibes, I'd definitely jam to this if it's released! also that guitar is the coolest color
I'm glad I've discovered this channel. Everything is amazing, man! Keep it up! 🔥
This is so badass 😂 awesome man!
so glad this series is regular 🙏🙏
Bro getting better and better every Thursday 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks so much!! Definitely helps me keep my production skills fresh 🎚️🧽
my favourite episode so far!
wtf dude. what a song
Big David Maxim Micic vibes here. Asato sounds very nice.
Awesome Sordid Pink vibes!!!
This might be my favorite Thick Riff Thursday cheers 🍻
Thanks man! Cheers!
6 dupers
thank you
I was looking for a DSP Asato plugin demo and got so much more as this is exactly what I want to get into - composing with a DAW. (Total beginner.) Thanks!
Arch Echo vibes. nailed it
Cant wait to see full aongs and have guest vocalists. Then guitar players pytting their own solo in in areas!
New to your channel so catching up on stuff.......
This was awesome. I love watching others creative processes.
Musically......this one was inspiring.
Thanks for what ya do brother!!!!
Hollyyyyy awesome!
This is a great riff!
Excellent stuff as always. Love the videos
man thanks for the inspiration!
Dude, do you want to be in a band together? I’m not really asking, your songs are just so freaking good
I'm DEF getting mark letteri vibes. So sick.
This slaps so hard😮💨🙌🏼❤️🔥❤️🔥
Man... this is awesome!!! Greetings from Germany! :)
that was really fucking cool
