start playing different riffs after another see what blends or sounds cool or interesting, then stick with that. Eventually you come up with chains of riffs that sound interesting together and it makes the intros verses choruses solos or short leads and accents breakdowns blastbeats and outros. Then place them anywhere the functionality of the song needs it, take away and change as much or many times as the songs need to be GOOD, not just ok. Make them exquisite. Now, you shall gain noteriety. Have a good one. Start building more chops over the top of looped or recorded chops. Make riffs up with drum beats going and adjust anything you come up with.

Excellent video, I this took me too long to learn long ago when I first started producing. Interesting study that the producing and engineering engages more of the left side of the brain, and writing riffs and the creative activities engage more of the right, so I like to stay in each appropriate zone and focus on either creating/riffing or engineering, but not interchanging. There's no shame in looping your own material.

@@burtsgurt you know, for me I'm more about the quick/fast editing, and for me Reaper works best for editing, faster and it's lighter on CPU, some people say if you use a lot of midi Cubase is better, or if you own any Steinberg interfaces, the stock features on Reaper are enough for me, and I use a lot of 3rd party plugins anyway. The cool thing about Reaper is you can try for as long as you want before buying the license.

I was curious to what all programs you were using. I may have missed what you have said as I'm at work... but, literally the beginning of the video I just started doing because like you showed and I've heard, place a drum clip and its off and I couldn't figure out why, when I was playing with a metronome.. lol . And boom the mystery was solved. Lol. I think the funniest part of this video was when you said not to waste your time on the instrument you don't play, unfortunately I am a bassist, so I actually don't waste my time on the instrument I do play, instead it's on guitar. Ha😅, but I get the idea. So while I'm waiting for my band to finish their parts on our album, I'm continuing to write for the next album and my solo project. So this video was very informative and I continue to look forward to all tips. Thanks

Then when I got something I separate it into verses,choruses,interludes, Then think of a genre or storyline or something like this.... Then just go... But I use a BOSS BR600. It’s old as. But still powerful. But I cannot recreate such amazing stuff like you do here man. But please by all means get one of these boss things and you will see how sick it is.
