In this video, I'll take you through the arrangement and songwriting process behind a Drop D modern metal riff. How the idea started, how it evolved and why arrangement plays an important role in making heavy riffs actually work in a full song.
This video is dedicated to helping metal guitarists develop better songwriting skills, creative workflows and production techniques. I’ll be breaking down inspiration, riff writing, arrangement, amp sims, plugins and practical methods you can apply directly to your own writing and recording process.
So if you’re interested in improving your modern metal songwriting, riff writing and your production skills, this series is for you.
