Hello Everyone.
Sometime ago I saw a few lesson requests about songwriting, and well the answer is that there aren't really rules or guidelines, everyone writes songs differently, and even the same artist might have different approaches. I decided to sit down, and write a simple Metal song from scratch in minutes, the idea of the song was literally put together within a few hours, and I wanted to share this with you. There is no melody here yet, I wanted to concentrate on Metal Riffing. I will probably add a lead guitar to the whole thing in the future, or get a vocalist to sing something, as this type of tune I believe would benefit more from an aggressive and melodic vocal work. I will be creating a lesson of this tune, but I want to first let you listen to the whole song, and discuss how I came up with the parts, what made me decide the Key, the sound, the tunning, what riff goes what and where. And of course ask questions if you have any Here is the link, let me know if it doesn't work http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=...amp;stream=true Cheers |

I really like it, it sounds great, maybe you should upload the complete file instead of an streaming link.
I am looking forward to your lesson, I am sure I can learn a lot there |

Good work |
