Metal Riff #1: Classic 80's Metal/ Hard Rock (Van Halen, Quiet Riot...ect)

[pandjsproule]

this is really wicked demos to follow unlike some which are bascially some one just showing off

[erkb96]

This is a really good riff! What tuning did you use for this? Just standard or Drop D or something?

i really like the tone good job what amp can get me this type of tone for under 1000

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

@12345678ix

Thanks! I used a Reeves Custom 18 for this.

[12345678ix]

@DiscoverGuitarOnline any amps to get 80s type tone for under 1000 thanks

[heavymetallica666]

@12345678ix Try the Line 6 Flextone 3 XL. Easy to create lots of different sounds. I have this amp for 1,5 years now and still don't have any complaints about it. You could have 1 for about 500 dollars i think.

[OXCerberusX0]

man i like that sound, nice and easy to, thanks. i tried to fit in a little melody in-between to funk it up aswell.

[LagKnight1]

you should try some dimbag style solo's cuz i think u can pull em off with a grate sound :p

[MetalXDFreak]

Imagine if like The bands sucide silence or chelsea grin or Parkway Drive played their in the the mid 70's it would of been brutal for all the hippies out their

[orangewizard]

It is a cool riff,proving once again that SIMPLE is oftentimes the best!

[manu5671]

[funofsk8ing]

[loveguitars]

Thanks. I really love your website. I will look for the BT when the become available.

I was wondering why I can't find this riff video on your website?

Thank you

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

Thanks! the video will be uploaded to the site soon. Waiting on my programmer to add the new sections. Should be this week some time I hope.

[renagade12]

i cant tell is that a musicman?

[ninevoltromeo]

nope, looks like an old fender, or maybe a kramer (the older models with neptune, nj on the neckplate), taped up like frankenstein.

[havoc999998]

I respect what you said man, Not every Metal riff has to be Technical/Heavy/Melodic/Evil haha. But thanks for pointing that out. I am in no position to judge this in any way so my bad on maybe offending you bro.

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

Na, it's okay. I'm just surprised at how many people posted their opposition to this being called "metal". This is what I grew up with as being called "metal"..... or "hard rock"..

I was hoping I could include all of the various subgenre metal riffs in one umbrella category, but I am reconsidering that.

The thing with the subgenres though, is that no matter what you label it, there is always someone that is going to have a problem with it. " no dude, that's not Nu metal, its...."

[havoc999998]

I know what you mean man, Like I'm really into all kinds of Metal and all this stuff comes into play about stupid Sub genres. Like just call it Metal and stop arguing whether or not its "Technical Death Metal" or "Trash Metal".

[wallofjustin]

Its okay, kids these days don't listen to black sabbath or iron maiden anymore =(

[Twindmold]

One should consider the time when the songs where written, i mean, when "Crazy Train" was released everyone said GOD THATS HEAVY METAL, though as time passed by the song was labeled as hard rock, because its just not as heavy as other songs from these times

Thats my personal opinion

[havoc999998]

"Crazy Train" is a badass Metal song btw haha, I love it =D

[havoc999998]

lol people don't know what Metal is. It's funny how this is labeled Metal haha... But it's a really cool Hard Rock riff =D

[Maestrp37388]

Hard core easy for the win!

[EzrinJem2]

Nice riff.  You can practice the A pentatonic solos over this, too.

[Tallguyalec]

xD this is haard core easy lol

[318825768]

Thats not Metal, thats Hard Rock.

But the riff is ok

[Quimbinator]

Actually, this would be considered metal.

[M24SocomSniper]

i know anyway its a cool riff!

are you using a charvel evh?

and what amp?

[loveguitars]

Excellent Riff!!!!

Can you let me know what gear you are using?

Excellent tone and playing!!!!

[Quimbinator]

The guitar looks like the EVH Frankenstein.

[loveguitars]

Thanks. How about the amp and recording gear?

[Quimbinator]

Oh, i have no clue man. I'm not in the video..

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

Charvel EVH Art series + Reeves "Super '78" + digital reverb in Logic Pro.

[loveguitars]

Tone is Amazing. I love that Reeves "Super '78

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]
