i'm in my early 30's just getting back into guitar after not playing for about 10 years. In the short time i have been subscribed to your channel, it has already proven to be such a useful resource in getting my chops back up and even learning some new tricks and techniques. you have such a chill & direct approach to teaching while still being detailed and informative. really happy i subscribed

@@saverobahael same here as well (although I started to come back to guitar a couple years ago, I did have a very long break). I also initially picked up guitar back in the day to learn Chili Peppers’ songs, so I’m very much new to learning modern metal. Keyan is a huge inspiration with these big chords and bouncy riffs! Glad he’s using Riff Hard and studying John Browne’s work… that’s where I’m focusing my energy these days and seeing incremental improvements and small wins every day. Good luck getting back into it! The journey is so much fun!

I ran into you on a post regarding baritones. Looked you up and I’m glad I did. There’s a lot of us 40 something-year-old‘s that grew up playing Metallica and Slayer and Black Sabbath that got stuck playing power chords for creating riffs. This was good for me. I already have the skills to implement these ideas. Thanks for helping.

every single modern metal riff i hear in my ears is just derived from Pale Aura. Definitely not a bad thing, but it just comes to show how people like Mark set trends and these them don’t change. Great vid :)
