2:20 Riff 1 (drop C) 4:30 Riff 2 (drop B) 5:48 Riff 3 (drop B) 7:38 Riff 4 (D standard) This was a fun little experiment, and it gave me an excuse to play some music with my bro so it’s a win all round 🥰 Which riff was your favourite? 👇👇👇

there's something oddly entertaining about hearing electric guitar but with the real string noises too, it's not good from a musical standpoint, but it's weirdly satisfying

As a drummer, Id love to hear more music written this way. Edit: Ok, so apperantly everyone and there mother writes the drums 1st.

1:23 that riff was just so disgusting. I loved it

Can we just stop to appreciate the production of the sound itself? The bass is so heavy!

You’re such a killer guitarist dude.

I think every band should take turns writing songs based around ideas from all of the instruments jammed solo. Even writing around a vocal idea is cool. I try to write melodies on other instruments like piano, xylophone, etc.

I’m a solo instrumentalist and this is how I write 90% of my songs…. Going drums first forces you to be more creative

Both you guys play clean af. I don't know what's more impressive, the skill playing or the mixing. All of it sounded great 🤘🏻

An EP based off of these riffs would be killer \m/

CORRECT. Hell of a job brother!!

Writing drums first is awesome cause you can create a more solid and groovy riff with more percussion variations.

WOW The 2:32 drop is INSANE Like a wall of sound punching your face I Watched it 1000 times

We all knew these were gonna be MONSTER riffs before even hearing them - was not disappointed!! 👊👊

The agility and precision is just beyond godly. God I have a long ass way to go before I can master that skillset😩

The 1st and the 4th ones are just fabulous

Holy sheet. The second one NEEDs to be made into an actual song!

As a drummer before a guitarist, I LOVE how your brother plays the drums. He has similar feel as i do, this was awesome!!!!

Nothing like some skatepunk drums to start off a metal song

This was the most unexpected and offensively good "Try not to headbang" challenge I have come across. I failed miserably. You and your bro are stellar. Stay Rad!

Every so often KZfaq actually recommends really good channels. This is one of those times the algorithm got it right

Your guitar tone in this video sounds massive! Plus: the beats are killer! I really enjoyed this format and would love to see it again in some future!

Everything sounds epic in this, but the bass and bass drums really drive thru the mix amazingly

Riff 2 and 4 was the spot.

As a drummer and guitarist letting the drummer lay down some solid grooves and riffs first is sweet, who knows better accents combinations and rhythyms in general than the drummer

Bro you are fucking killling it. Riff 4 blew me away. Inspired me to pickup the axe again. Subscribed for sure.

Brother is over here just low key doing an Angel Vivaldi... 😳 You're a hell of a guitarist.

You do realise that we need official full releases of all of those now, right?

the first riff had some killswitch engaged vibes

Both of y’all are beasts!!!

That's how I write most of all my stuff lol. Just put on a drum groove and noodle around till something comes out. Is a great technique! Just wish I would play as half as good as you dude. Well done!

The second one is gnarly! Especially the pinch harmonic

So... yeah now we know why Rush has such crazy sounding riffs and strange changes. They recorded drums first. :D

I love the way you attack each phrase. The old man who yells at clouds inside me would prefer if you made things less intricate and more groovy, but I reeeaaallllyyy enjoyed this vid.

The 3rd riff with the ghost notes! CRAZY! Great precision too!

Man your picking is incredible 👌 insane !

This is actually how I write. I'll program drums and just improv over it until I find something I like

Oh man...this is so beautiful, haven't heard such a great riffs in a long time 👏🏻

Dude how sick! Im beyond inpressed with the level of musicianship you boys got some skills. Nice licks for sure

Everyone thinks about guitar tone. Nobody thinks about how the tone of a guitar and a drum kit blend and become one

3:12 that pinch absolutely SENT ME

This is the kinda shit that both motivates me on the guitar and makes me want to quit g minutes in lol

Puts hats on, becomes metalcore

This is the most intriguing music related video I've seen in quite a while. Fuckin well done!

Dude, your brother is as good off a drummer as you are a guitarist! Excellent job to both of you!

Awesome composition skills on those riffs, and those Chuggernauts, man what a delight... But most importantly; cat at the end of the video XD

Inspirational. When I used to write, I changing percussion always led to getting unstuck. Maybe I’ll pick up the axe this weekend

This is actually a great way to come up with stuff you wouldn't normally play. The same goes to writing using Guitar Pro ONLY. No guitar sitting on your lap, just writing. Muscle memory can fuck you up a lot when trying to come up with great riffs. Awesome exercise, cheers

A song with any one of these riffs would get immediately added to my playlist. The talent is off the scale!

The tone you use for the bass when you record the riff really has that August Burns Red thing going on. Great playing man, lots of creativity in those riffs!

This is killer- your bro is a beat beast!

These riffs and beats are so tasty it’s insane haha

I get much Periphery vibes from how you come up with those riffs! Killer playing dude, you have amazing picking technique and great riffin creativity!

1:14 when in doubt just tap the riff

I write 95% of our songs, like this; starting with our drummer: he plays, I riff, until we like something, then we build... I then develop the song structure, our bassist improves it, vocals comes up with melody, I write lyrics, vox rewrites lyrics, and when we put it all together, we play with it in different ways, until we find a standard... it's mostly based on having fun and each of us focusing on our strengths. it always produces something I like much more than the songs I write on my own, the whole way through... the songs we write together always end up surprising me and I tend to like the song more over time, whereas the songs I wrote on my own, tend to disgust me over time. Great video!

Again, youtube's algorithm just made me discover another hidden gem. You both are very talented!

Man! That was epic! You play the guitar enthusiastically! So much energy.....

You're getting a subscribe just for this and ESPECIALLY pinning the tunings and such.

The second and fourth riff need to be turned into songs, really such amazing guitar playing.

That was incredible. You absolutely have to make more of these.

As a solo artist i start with whatever instrument i have the idea for first. I might have a drum beat in my head i record that first. Sometimes i get an idea for a bass line so i start with that. Same with guitar. Just depends on how you want to work with it. Most of the time it works out well.

Jesus Christ your right hand moves faster than my eyes can register what you’re doing. This is one of the best music based videos I’ve seen in a while. Good shit from you and your bro 🤘

3rd and 4th sequences fucking caught me off guard on how lethal you were planning on takin the riffs and, did. Perfect execution, brobeans 🤘🏽

This was so awesome! More of this please!

HOLY SHIT, that first riff was so freaking good!

oh so basically all hope is gone

The SPEED and precision, oh my lord. Divine guitarist.

Wtf i just witnessed... -"it is possible to have such power?..." -"not for a jedi"

All of this riffs were incredible. Fantastic work man

Ok but why is no one talking about that 2nd riff??? Holy shit all of these are amazing and you need to make them into full songs

Last one felt like background music to a Sonic the Hedgehog game. The first and third were the best, but the first one stood out to me more

Love your chord choices. So inspiring and moving. I'm glad you put in bass as well.

What a combo. You guys killed it

We want more content like this! Killer shit man!

Bruh…that 2nd drumbeat was groovy af AnnnD hard af! Keep it up guys!

Amazing playing from both and killer riffs!

That second one is SO fucking sick. I mean y’all are damn good musicians but that might be my fav

This guy is absolutely insane- and deserves way more subs than 20K. Instantly subscribing !

Sick video. Great job showing the noodling around on the guitars digging for the idea instead of just what you ended up going with. It's great to see the work in the kitchen, rather than just enjoy the meal.

Great energy there! Love it!

Dude you've been killing it. Seems like that channel is growing. Stoked for you. Sick riffage as always🤘

Actually, that was insane!! Very cool riffs! You are unstoppable!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

So sick. You guys got my creative juices flowing. Well done.

Fantastically brilliant! Thank you for sharing this with the world.

I have been always writing riffs like that lol. But that's mostly because I had no sense of rhythm when I started playing guitar, and drum backing helped me a lot in riff writing process.

'He speeds his videos up' hahaha! Phenomenal video man and some killer riffs too!

Damn, that was a fun watch!!! Great stuff!!

These are all sick! You guys are so talented.

Im very amazed with your downstroke man..every riffs are MONSTER !!!🔥🔥

love these riffs, absolute bangers, my favorite is the 1 and 4, and really apreciate the practice/playthrough. Hope we see more of this, I'm a fan of your channel🥰

I really dig this man I love this format

Now that was bloody awesome discovering your channel for the first time!

Dude, your riff chops are MONSTROUS, I greatly enjoyed all four of them!

This has got to be one of my fave videos by you! Get to see all your creativity here, it's rad as hell

Killer tone, killer riffin'!! Great video!!!

Happened upon this through the youtube rabit hole and have to say that all the riffs are great, BUT I for one can easily see myself absolutely blasting the 3rd riff on repeat for several days.

I actually do quite a lot of writting through this method. Having a canvas to write to is a good way to come up with something different that what you would usually write. I wash I could write this level of riff goodness though haha, excellent job dude :)

Dude your playing is absolutely ridiculous. Nice writing techniques. Extremely impressive keep going!

Really great stuff here!!!!

These are some amazing riffs!
