@dirkmaes3786 2 жыл бұрын

A trope and a cliché are totally different concepts. Tropes are things that people use to define a genre. A cliché is an idea that used to be a novelty, but it got so overused that people associate with uninspired/generic. For instance when Michael Jackson released "black or white" there was a breakdown where he started rapping for one bar; that got copied so many times it became a cliché.

One little trick I learned from the old guitarists in Cradle of Filth to sound a little less generic is to split power chord parts between two guitars - ie play single note riffs harmonized in fifths. It’ll sound thinner than playing conventional two note power chords on both guitars, but then you create a greater sense of dynamics if you the transition to a heavier part of a song and have both guitars switch to playing/doubling the full power chord.

I had to look up what pedal note meant...cool that I got to learn something new from your video! I'm a long time drummer but fairly new at guitar, been trying to teach myself for the last year or so. I love coming up with new riffs and playing around until I find a nice sounding chord. Even though I've not had any formal tuition on how to approach writing riffs it's impossible not to let my riffs be influenced by the metal I listen to. Open string phrygian is one that's crept in before. Also another cliche - the metalcore minor scale 0 5 7 8 stuff - whatever the guitar is tuned to those frets seem to have some gravitational pull if I'm feeling metalcore!
