Metal Riffs: Combined Metal Guitar Riffs of ChromeCelica00 & Blackened138 #2

[warheart454]

you guys need to do a 5 minute song!

[blackened138]

@warheart454 Have you checked out our band, Deadtide, man? That's where our finished full compositions exist.

I've got some already composed material that could easily cover 5 mins. Those need a little more work, though. Phil (ChromeCelica00) usually makes his a little shorter... somewhere between 3-4 mins.

Thanks for your support!

[bodom1376]

You guys should do more of these. Awesome sound!

[blackened138]

@bodom1376 Thanks, man! I'd love to, especially since Phil (Chrome) got really nice new equipment to make videos with. I miss playing guitar. I haven't picked up my own in a year since I've got vocal duties. That's scary, considering I used to play for up to 11 hours a day. :[

[bodom1376]

@blackened138 I've played for about that long maybe a few times but I just need to get some lessons in. I've hit a rather annoying road block haha. Well then I can't wait to hear some combinations of your vocals and his riffs!

[blackened138]

@bodom1376 Hopefully next time I'm up in NY we'll sit down and make a new video! What road block have you hit?

[electrokyle1]

look at the look he gives you right before you turn the camera off damn lol

[blackened138]

@electrokyle1 It was I who gave the look at Chrome, haha. Shit, I didn't even realize I was creepin...

[2DDarkKnight]

Its like flames style :) Sounds cool. \m/

[blackened138]

@2DDarkKnight Thanks, man! In Flames we trust

[blackened138]

Thanks, man! Appreciate your comment!

[jek3zea]

nice job guys really nice :)

[xGUITARZEROx]

nice. wat tuning do u use in this vid? and would a digitech grunge be a decent sub for the metal master while using clean on a line 6 spider III?

[blackened138]

@xGUITARZEROx Drop B, I believe. If you have a Line 6 Spider III you're set. You don't need a pedal and you'd probably be really disappointed with any "grunge" pedal. I've never played one I thought was good. Hope this helps!

[MetalOmgz]

nice stuff

[blackened138]

@MetalOmgz Thanks, man!



[Treue0]

@blackened138 U should make a band:)

[blackened138]

@Treue0 We have one :D Our name is Deadtide! You can Google us or check my channel page for links to our pages! We're almost done with our EP

[Treue0]

@blackened138 I watched it, its really cool:D

[manticoreblade]

amazing sound, what pedals and amp do you use?

[blackened138]

Thanks. ChromeCelica00 was using a Marshall MG15 I believe (or something really close to that) and I was using a Crate 15 watt practice amp. The crate is a piece of crap. We're using Digitech Metal Master pedals in this video... that's why it sounds good haha. It's a sick pedal to really boost the distortion on your amp.

[manticoreblade]

thanks man! well im off to school now so bye! loooool =) when i get my camera, im gonna post some vids up of me playing so if u wanna watch, just click on ma name lol (the vids wont be here until after christmas) =P

[Tomazxo]

Really good. 0:35 - 0:36 gives the riff a breath and sounds very very good.

[blackened138]

Thanks. Yeah, Chrome wrote that part... the simple chord change there is pretty sweet

[blackened138]

Nah, I never tabbed it out... I'd say ask Chrome... he wrote it... but he gets wayyy to many people commenting and messaging him now.

It's a really simple riff tho... try figuring it out... we were tuned to drop b in this video.

[metalkicksass1000]

thta was sick

[blackened138]

Thanks

[jszekerj]

Sounds great. For the begining riffs, one of you should add a change up or sumthin add some flavor.

[blackened138]

Thanks! I'll definitely take that into consideration if we end up using it in a composition.

[xaviermockingbird]

Short but good .

[blackened138]

Thanks

[marvin264]

Holy crap, nice!

[blackened138]

thanks, marvin!

[BlackCarrion]

Wow, you look exactly how would picture my hero [if I had one]. You have brutal growls/screams and you are an excellent guitarist. Thank you for being alive.

[blackened138]

You, sir, win the award for the most amazing comment I've ever received. Thanks so much for your support... it means everything!

[BlackCarrion]

I was just hoping I didn't come off as creepy.

Hooray for not being a stalker!

[blackened138]

Not at all, man. You made my day!

[Movin45]

whoa.... this is awesome!

[blackened138]

Thanks, dude!

[ColdiceAliasFunky]

Very Nice ;)..

Abd pls make som vocals to ChromeCelica00´s "Drop A# Tuning Melodic Death Metal Jam"..xD

Because the Jam sounds fuckin´awesome!!

[blackened138]

I definitely will... I've been having trouble thinking of a subject matter for it... all I can think about is vikings hahah and I have no interest in writing about them. I'm stumped and need some suggestions to get me thinking differently.

[brutaldeathmetal01]

Nice!

[blackened138]

Thanks!

[Drycola23]

Just a heads up..if you are ever going to harmonize in octaves, it is more efficient to have one guitarist using an octaver pedal whilst the other guitarist harmonizes in either thirds or fifths, and if you wish throw in an augmented or diminished thirds/fifths too! Good job

[blackened138]

Which part did we harmonize in octaves? Thanks, tho

[Drycola23]

I know that you harmonized in thirds I am just saying for your future combined riffage that the use of octavers would be helpful

[blackened138]

Ohhh, okay. Gotcha.

[AshaDeVille]

Great video \m/  \m/

[blackened138]

Thanks, AshaDeVille! ::bangs head::

[AshaDeVille]

\m/ \m/

no need to thanks

really great video

[mrassassin12]

You guys are pretty fucking good!

[blackened138]

Thanks, man!

[wadeismyname00]

omfg you guys are amazing, i had to subscribe to both of you guys ^.^

[blackened138]

Thanks, Wade!

[123mcquade123]

hey i subed to your friend chrome, im going to sub to you too man. you both are really great, and oh yeah he told me to wish you happy b day. so happy b day man, keep up with the guitar, you guys have real tallent that is ahrd to come to find now. all this damn hip hop sht...

[blackened138]

Thanks so much, dude! We really appreciate it! Yea, hip hop... seriously, man... tell me about it....

[123mcquade123]

hip hop and pop and all that stuff should not be classified as tallent or music, because takes no tallent or musicaly abillity to produce.

[blackened138]

For the most part, I definitely agree... the recording engineers and studio musicians do most of the work. However, man, before I die, I want to come out with an R & B / hip hop song and make it really radio friendly and try to get it popular so I can show how easy it is for someone who doesn't write this type of stuff to do and show how much more talent it takes to do the stuff metal requires.

[123mcquade123]

yeah man, you should relly try for that. i think that would really proove something.

[metalkicksass1000]

exactly

[jakedav123]

hey are u guys playin minor thirds...or octives..btw great riff!! i really like it,5/5 thanx.

-jake

[blackened138]

Thanks, jake! We're harmonizing in thirds.

[JAWZ15]

that was VERY VERY polished playing exact same strums and hand movements

nice vid

[blackened138]

Thanks, Jawz! Took a few tries but we got it haha

[myheartisyours05]

wohow!!!! awesome!!

[blackened138]

thanks, dude!

[cesarchavez0420]

Wheres the rocking zebra pants?? LMFAO

No worries im not hating on ur skills

[blackened138]

hah it's all good.

[AirgunAddict256]

oh my god y'all really need to come together and combine as a band, your riffs and stuff are delicious i can't stop watching these videos.

[blackened138]

haha we are a band! a couple band videos are posted on my channel with chromecelica00 on guitar and a new one with me doing vocals. hit 'em up!

[Dinky0027]

Wow this is really killer and your guys timings are like perfect.

[blackened138]

Thanks, man!

[Vindettacon]

very cool ..... cant wait to hear a whole song with a full band from u guys ...

[blackened138]

we're workin on that... we have a song written by chrome and i (he did the guitars, i did the lyrics and vocals)... he's got the full guitar composition posted on youtube, but there are no vocals. i'm thinkin about just rippin the audio from the vid with the best quality on here and giving at least a vocal preview to all of our fellow metalheads/subscribers. i'm gonna go through with it when i get my toneport ux2 back from chrome/my other guitarist.

[blackened138]

actually i have a song i wrote a while ago intended for our band, but the vocals were terrible cause after being in college for a while with nowhere to practice. i also plan on reworking it because i'm not happy with all of the riffs in it. until then i can't redo vocals unfortunately.

[hateme666]

awsome! FUCK YEAH!

[blackened138]

thanks!

[vulturevenom]

Dude, that shit was freggin AWESOME and I swear, the drugs haven't even taken effect on  me yet!

I wanna be in your band but I am only 13. I am the BEST freggin guitarist you will ever know. You're gonna be blown away!

Let me know, please! My parents don't care. My dad left me and my mom works 24/7. Later.

[stolengoodnight]

What tuning are you guys in for this?

[blackened138]

drop B

[kharmamusic]

Mh... sounds like the harmony from Bruce Dickinson's "The Tower" :think: ...

[blackened138]

::goes to check what it sounds like cause bruce is the man::

[ChromeCelica00]

That was more amazing than my ass.

[ilrs]

nice man maybe a little to nice :P

diatonic thirds

i wanna hear you play some nasty heavy shit man you defo got the tone for it...

[blackened138]

thanks!

yea i'm in desperate need of writing new shit... or at least posting some more random decent riffs.

[letlev]

How do you guys write stuff? I really suck at making guitar parts, any tips?

You guys sound awesome, anything new out?

[blackened138]

after playing music by our favorite bands, we just naturally play in their styles with our own twist. our favorite style of music is melodic death metal... especially from sweden.

you need to do the same... learn some songs by your favorite bands to understand how to write guitar riffs in the style of metal you're looking to play. at first, your riffs will sound very generic and close to riffs of the bands you like. keep messing around with riff ideas until you come up with unique material.

[ChromeCelica00]

Heeeeellllll Yeaaaaa Ni99a

[blackened138]

if anything you write sounds too much like someone else's riff, discard it and try again. don't take the easy way out like all these new bands do. a good way to get a different sound is to record multiple guitars over one another. like for example you could have two lead riffs (a melody and a harmony) harmonized in thirds, and a rhythm riff (heavy power chords or other chords) to create a background rhythm.

Good luck... let me know how it goes!

[blackened138]

and thanks for the support! we appreciate your feedback!

I, myself, do not have anything new out, however, my friend Phil (the guitarist on the right in this video) does. He comes out with new videos all the time. He's very popular on here. His username is Chromecelica00. Check out his videos and tell him what you think!

[oabbasi]

which 1 are you!!

[blackened138]

the one on the left

[desolatednightmares]

you should make it into a song it would be bad ass!

[blackened138]

it will be eventually! thanks

[desolatednightmares]

Fuckin right man. \m/ Let me know when its done.

[blackened138]

definitely

[maniac2011]

Epic.

if i may suggest, the last riff section should have 3 or four different tones making it more colour and not the same one over and over, hope you understand

666stars ok?

[blackened138]

thanks, man... yea i think i see what you mean. thanks for the suggestion!

[dakotam531]

this is good o.o

[blackened138]

thanks, dakotam

[npblack92]

awesome dudes!!!, listen to my metalcore riff if you want too ;)

[blackened138]

thanks, man!

[michaelilb2014]

muhahah 5/5

[blackened138]

thanks, man!

[SmokinTime420]

You could play the first riff again but just take out the REST and combine the whole thing so there is no cut out...have it be a second verse or something

[blackened138]

well they're just two random riffs put together to make a new video... so it's not set in stone. thanks for the suggestion, dude...it's definitely a possibility.

[SmokinTime420]

cool, glad i could give decent input

[SmokinTime420]

i think it would sound pretty raw

[philxdespisedx]

man great harmony lol if u two added some sweeps in there it would be amazing =)

[blackened138]

thanks, dude... i can't really sweep... phil kinda can, but we don't include them in our music. thanks for the suggestion, tho.

[philxdespisedx]

np man i just learned to sweep this weekend

im all proud lol ;D

[blackened138]

sick

[spartan051b]

i agree sdtrongly with herman, 5/5

[blackened138]

thanks, spartan!

[spartan051b]

no prob dude it pretty dang good.

[hernanxxx]

5/5

[blackened138]

thanks hernan

[stolen1337]

BLACKENED138 NEEDS MORE VIDEOS.

right? right.

your shit is bitchin.

[blackened138]

hahaha thanks dude. everyone seems to be hatin on me for not updating regularly. it's great to know you like em tho. if i come up with something i like sometime soon then i'll add it. there's a really good chance it'll be both phil and i in the vid since i haven't been playing guitar nearly as much as i used to (record is 11 hours straight a bunch of times) and he needs to prod me to pick up my guitar as of late.

[MadamInamorata]

fucking hooottt.

you turn me on when you play.

wanna bang?

[blackened138]

thanks...but which one of us are you talking about?

[MadamInamorata]

YOU.

[ChromeCelica00]

Yeah please tell please tell =D

haha

[blackened138]

yo phil you're a little late.

get your own metal chick.

-arightlater-

[MadamInamorata]

the banging ass one with the long hair who could probably rock me with his dick for hours.

the other ones hot too.

[ChromeCelica00]

haha, didn't know it was Danielle ass goblin...but yes I will get my own metal chick you just wait PEACE

[MadamInamorata]

hahahaha. sorry phil. it was fun while it lasted.

i love that someone gave me a thumbs up on the first comment. but a thumbs down on the second.

retarded.

[xeno52003]

freaking awsome i wanna do vocals for it lol

[ChromeCelica00]

That's the spirit! haha

[poppunkcansucka20]

just a suggestion here...

maybe get rid of the pause in the intro riff and add some extra palm muted notes, unless you plan to have it filled in with something else

[blackened138]

i appreciate your suggestion...but why do that?

it puts a different spin on the riff. adding more palm mutes in between makes it more predictable and generic.

if it were to be made into a song...there would be drums and maybe some synth behind it anyway

[poppunkcansucka20]

alright that works

i wanna hear it when its done

[blackened138]

aright if one of us posts it we'll post a bulletin

[pgallagher61592]

hey man this really is great ive been lookin at ur stuff really sweet man...ive been playin for about 5 years but im new to metal haha wat types of scales are used in metal

[blackened138]

thanks, dude

that's awesome to hear. metal is the best.

i'm self taught tho so i'm not too good with scales. sorry, man

[guitarfreak6666]

AWESOME !!!!

[blackened138]

thanks!

[tylershred]

i wish i could write more melodic stuff like this.

[Bawler666]

nice i give it a 5 :D

[blackened138]

thanks, dude

[baalyezidi]

true that

[baalyezidi]

once again im hating... but why does all the songs from everyone has to sound the same... i mean.. atleast cryptopsy learn that in their third album.. and totaly created original solos..

[blackened138]

oh i already know. the first riff i wrote just messing around...i wasn't even serious about using it. my friend wrote the second one and we were like what the hell let's make a new video. i didn't intend for this to be amazing...it was just for a new video since we hadn't posted one in a while. why would i want to put my best stuff up when someone could try and steal it like a bitch?

[ChromeCelica00]

Word.

[MattyGtheMusician]

fuckin cool... sounds great peoples

[blackened138]

thanks, matty

[kingofsin666]
