I never considered myself a very good heavy metal riffage player, due to the fact I was hardly using it in my playing. However, it's very important to practice your palm muting and riffing chops.

How good are you at riffing?

What is your approach when practicing/coming up with riffs?

Well, it depends, I for one am not the adept of complicating things just for the sake of it smile.gif if something asks to be complicated from itself, it's just gonna come out that way, but I would never try to incorporate something complex just because I want to showcase something.

Please forgive me if the impression was that as more advanced playing becomes, it tends to get complicated. This was not the intention.

The thing that I was curious about is to learn through what kind of steps does the riffing evolution goes through with players that have made progress with this technique. For example, starting with simple powerchords, then adding component here, or here, as time goes by. Hope it makes sense smile.gif
