Quick Simple Melodic Metal Harmony Riff

[WeakGuy]

SICK! :D

[XxXxTomArayaxXxX]

What are the chords under the one string melody and harmony?

[ChromeCelica00]

@XxXxTomArayaxXxX 5th 3rd and 1st fret in drop c i believe, then 5th 8th 1st

[kaitori95]

:DDD i have the same guitar xD

[KEVINTACKTV1]

YEAH I LEARNED IT THANKS you wouldnt mind if used it

[ChromeCelica00]

@KEVINTACKTV1 used it for what? You can play if for fun if you want or post a response playing it, you can get ideas from it if you're in a band but I encourage you not to just straight up jack it haah

[KEVINTACKTV1]

@ChromeCelica00 no just pay it bro im not gonna gonna use it in a band bro lol ive just been dying to play a melodic metal riff thats easy

[bloodydogfang]

@ChromeCelica00 you wouldnt mind if i incorperated some of this into one of my bands songs would you? We will give Deadtide credit too =)

[ChromeCelica00]

@bloodydogfang Sure why not, this is pretty old. I encourage people to make their own stuff though, maybe similar to it, I'd rather you not just take it like I told the person above haha

[bloodydogfang]

@ChromeCelica00 ok cool i was going to use the same concept of it but different notes with some harmonics in there =) thanks for letting me use this.

[cup0soup]

anyone who needs tabs needs to learn to play it by ear ..... i mean if u really played guitar right?...anyways amazing

[Tomix1980]

nice

[jek3zea]

im sorry..... but thanks for responding me.....im a fan your stuff so great poeple hope that you go far :)

[jek3zea]

wish you had atleas take a min for a response.... waited 2 weeks like i said i really care about your stuff but im desapointed :( i dont blame you im just sad....

[ChromeCelica00]

@jek3zea I'm sorry man, but I get a ton of people commenting and messaging me all the time, it's not that easy to get to everyone! I don't have tabs, and I'll be honest and say that there probably won't be any. Too many people ask for tabs for almost all of my videos, most comments I get now is just asking for tabs, and I simply don't have the time do make them. I work full time, and I'm tired and just want to relax when I get home. But I will have some lessons on my other channel ChromeMelodic

[jek3zea]

do you have the tabs pls im not good in guitare and im trying hard to be just for myselft i does not want to be popular just making my fun of it and this is the kind of rift id like to play i watch alot of your video to try to understand some thecnique but with tabs i think it would work bether well its okay if you dont want but dont worry if you give me i wont stole your thing....im a man who never forget the poeple who learn him something

[jek3zea]

wow i lije this fucking rifts im jalous :( leave the easy thing to me please XD or there will be nothing good i can do hahahaha just joking keep it up this is awesome :)

[jedimastergarcia87]

Not bad. How do you get the hang of metal/melodic/death/metalcore kinda stuff? I'm still having troubles. x.x

[ChromeCelica00]

@jedimastergarcia87 haha, it's not that hard to get the hang of after a bit of playing, just keep it up!

[TheReverend777]

sounds pretty badass but (no offense) not very original. Changing the pitch every measure has gotten old, well to me at least

[ChromeCelica00]

@TheReverend777 This video is kinda old, and it's only a little riff, wasn't mean to be anything mind blowing

[gisenberg]

very very cool. if you got any tabs i wouldn't mind learning that little riff myself!

[ChromeCelica00]

Didn't use it in this video, haven't really used it any many videos, I think like 2...Don't know! haha

[SosenTheFruity]

I know its old video, but do you remember what were your settings on Metal master?

[DeltaChip]

Easy? yes. But to write with taste? no. Good job my friend, speed and hard riffs dont make songs the best all the time, but good melodies and tones too. I like where youre taking this. Good writing my friend

[ChromeCelica00]

@DeltaChip Thanks! Make sure to check my newer stuff, this is pretty old =)

[yroslav]

Living in a basement win.

[ChromeCelica00]

@yroslav haha, I don't live there, I have my own room...the basement is the hangout room @ my house. I work full time and will be moving out come Spring haha

[yroslav]

@ChromeCelica00 Yeah , Well I wosnt trying to say anything by that. 

[ChromeCelica00]

@yroslav haha I know it's all good

[dbsk8r92]

schecter c-1?

[ChromeCelica00]

@dbsk8r92 Yep!

[ChromeCelica00]

@dbsk8r92 oh actually no, this was my old guitar, omen 6...but now I have a c1 haha

[TakuyaDan]

@ChromeCelica00 i have omen 6 extreme :P awesome guitar but i wanna buy C7

nice riff

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Tocas de maravilla tío!!!

[OXCerberusX0]

i like it, has a nice crisp feel to it.

[Nilephan666]

I'm not completely sure why, but this video made me want to go watch some Amon Amarth vids. o.O

[ChromeCelica00]

@Nilephan666 hahaha, it happens!

[Nilephan666]

@ChromeCelica00

I just went on a huge power/melodic metal trip, i mean i hit up every band i could think of, starting with an hour of Amon Amarth

[droperosthia]

you look cold!! :D

oh yeah pretty kick ass riff too!

[benisgodly]

dude this is brutal do you think you could make a video of the tabs

[VerekKelm]

starts to suck at 0:45

[ChromeCelica00]

@VerekKelm Yeah I hate that too ;)

[bana2501]

Absolutely amazing riff...tabs?

[ChromeCelica00]

@bana2501 Thanks! No tabs tho sorry!

[mathijsjuh]

what tuning are you playing?

[footballbeast13]

not really metal.. but oh well

[ChromeCelica00]

@footballbeast13 How is it not metal?

[footballbeast13]

@ChromeCelica00 the riff is more mainstream than actual metal.. metal is more heavy or "powerful" like sabbath riffs or stuff like that.. this isnt REAL metal.. its just mainstream hard rock

[ChromeCelica00]

@footballbeast13 It's really how you perceive it, I disagree with you, there are many genres of Metal, this obviously doesn't fall into the category of those bands, but it doesn't mean this isn't metal, all arguing aside, this was just a simple little recording i made over a year ago, so whatever hah

[HeavyMetalNoize]

@ChromeCelica00

I like hardcore progressive vegetable metal.

[ChromeCelica00]

@HeavyMetalNoize Healthy!

[BrotherOfMetal2]

@footballbeast13 Sorry, but I have to disagree with you wholeheartedly. This guitar riff, whether it be "simple" or not, is clearly influenced with Melodic Gothenburg bands. Naturally, when one thinks of Gothenburg, At The Gates is the first thought, followed by In Flames or Soilwork. It is the early work of these bands that have heavily influenced the Death Metal genre and evolve it further. One could say that Melodic Metal is the correct genre bands from At The Gates to As I Lay Dying are in.

[ChromeCelica00]

@BrotherOfMetal2 Agreed, Broadly, this is melodic metal, it COULD be Melodic Death Metal, it COULD be metalcore, it's really the surrounding elements that decide that, there's no real answer. But yea, melodic metal indeed.

[tyleratthegates]

@BrotherOfMetal2 i think your thinking about it to much man. metal is metal, who cares what "genre/subgenre it is, its metal. less thinking, more metal.

[BrotherOfMetal2]

@tyleratthegates I see what you're saying, but c'mon now...you can't deny that there are different styles of Metal. I mean, sure it's bad to be a genre freak about it, but sometimes genre labeling (as long as it's not ridiculous like Viking Metal or something lol) can help define or help recognize what style is what.

Nothing wrong with thinking and Metal!

[FiveMonthOfHappyness]

u play in any famous band`?

[ChromeCelica00]

@FiveMonthOfHappyness No I do not, I'm hoping one day to get my band out there though and see what happens!

[cmc47834]

even though the whole riff was badass the begining riff was fucking beautiful dude

5/5

[Crucifiedknot]

What do you have your guitar normally tuned at man? Your riffs are sick :P

[ChromeCelica00]

Usually Drop C or A#...I change it up a lot, I don't even know what I'm in right now lol.

[guitareplayer08]

man what are playing at first?

[diedinthewool]

a 7th harmony is basically like a half of an octave (not really but it sounds like it), and what he's doing are 3rds which are very common harmonies in metal, hardcore, etc.

[ultimateRupture]

he plays 3rds which is nothing strange even in classical music

[BaseballGod710]

Please man i need your help...i really like your style with all that harmony...but i cant figure out how to get those cool sounds...are you just using 7th's or something?

[ChromeCelica00]

I harmonize in 3rds mostly, can't say I'm even familiar with 7ths!

[BaseballGod710]

lol the harmonies i use, i call them 7th's because they are seven half steps are apart im not sure what they are actually called...it sounds familiar to what you play...

[DaegorothMorteian]

lol those are fifths, because they are five keys apart on a piano. They're really common to use in metal.

[BaseballGod710]

noooo actually those are 3rds, but thank you for trying to sound smart

[afromania624]

great song, could u post a tab by any chance

[REDTEARS667]

@afromania624 can u not work that out|? doesnt seem very hard : /

[afromania624]

ive did it the night i heard it, fair easy, i was just immersed in the harmony lol

[wesroo]

@REDTEARS667

you can see his fingers you lazy bum

[fullm3tal20]

dude what do you use to record/play the rhythm part?

[ChromeCelica00]

Audacity

[CreeCore94]

i sucks that thing man..but i also use it too :L

[edubchrist]

your riffs are oddly addictive

[ChromeCelica00]

oddly? haha

[edubchrist]

in the best meaning of the word possible, lol

[Scariestkiller]

What he probly means is they aint the best riffs in the world,yet he can't llisten to them enuf

[doomie24]

[doomie24]

[ChromeCelica00]

[zin11]

Pretty cool, keep it up! =D

[Bobbe92]

your riffs are awesome! man I'm trying to make some melodic riffs of my own xD but I'm better at doing thrash Metal rythms xD

[InsaneHysteria901]

Youre an awesome player, you got talent and skills

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks =)

[pruanehater22]

dude you're sick

[dcosw]

is this for a song? :O thats hella good!

[ChromeCelica00]

It could be! It's just a random riff for now that I was messing with.

[philywillyboy]

this sounds like all that remains PRETTY FUCKING beast just dont do satanic shit bro :D

[ChromeCelica00]

haha never man

[Takkii93]

pretty much the best stuff i've ever heard. You're awesome!!!

[hcwJustinThunder]

Dude you are awesome! I love your riffs

[adamC1616]

[666Abused]

[Trivium1994BANNED]

Just fucking awesome!

Keep up the AWSOME work! :)

(Dang i allrdy subbed u ;( Wish i could sub u again :P)

5/5!

[Zagtul]

I love the transaction at 00:23

Nice one :)

[twich7177]

dude that was awesome

[MickandNick]

dude, all your stuff is awesome.

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks so much!

[simyburger]

Killer stuff dude! I'm looking for more decent melo death stuff like this with emphasis on harmonies instead of keyboards all the time... any recommendations? I know the basics; In Flames, Carcass, Arch Enemy etc.

[ChromeCelica00]

Blinded Colony...they aren't so big yet...but they kick ass. Some people call them Metalcore, but I beg to differ. They are a tad generic, but I've been listening to them so much lately. Try them! haha

[danielmetalfan]

you will become great sone :D

spelling hahah

[WuschelofDespair]

I like that one, allthough u could make a lot more out of it chaning the rhythm. U keep playing it in the same sheme, which makes it kind of boring. U hit the note always at the first strike of the bar, try hitting a note at the first strike and the 3rd strike of the bar from time to time, makes it sound more exiciting. The harmony is nice, could u tell me how u harmonized it? I know about theory and chords pretty well, but im still gaining expiercince, maybe u wanna help me ;) |,,/

[ChromeCelica00]

I hear what you mean, it was just a simple idea at the time.

I harmonize in thirds, meaning whatever first riff i played, I just play over it 3 frets higher, to make the harmony sound. Sometimes it's not always 3 frets, but close to it. And obviously you can use a higher string to hit the harmony note.

[machmut]

why are you writin "nothing great" ...

This could be the beginin of a great metal song ! ;D

keep on workin on it !

Stay True ! hail

Machmut

[LEEROYJOKKEZ]

You play so fucking good

[KleinBeynis]

oh man, i wish i can play like u, mmh maybe i will if i practise more

[MrSandman004]

none of the stuff he does is hard, its just making up the tune in your head or through playing around that can be difficult. All of Chrome's stuff sounds good though.

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks sandman

[diejango]

again some creamy stuf.

i send some of your vids to my friend rtotheoy i think he realy likes your style.

cheers mate ;)

[AshaDeVille]

sounds really nice \m/

[lordofthestrings02]

i should send you the tab for the melodic riff i came up with, maybe you could dubb it with another guitar and make somethin out of it, i want somebody to put it to use since i'm havin no luck findin a band

[ChromeCelica00]

I could try, send away!

[RynoSmellsDyno]

what? nothing great???? dont sell yourself short, all the shit you write is awsome dood :)

[OnlyInhuman666]

[humantyp]

\m/ It's sounds nice, and its easy.

Nice job, bub.

[moremetal4mike]

awsome riff

[SINBrutal99]

your right about the info for the song, short riffs give us more video to watch. And they are great, not nothing great. I have faith in your guitar playing skills!

[Wilkesy1000]

[RyGoMichael]

pretty schecter =)

[Beezie626]

Pretty cool

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks! Yeah it's nothing too spectacular.

[dawe383]

lmao no you didnt haha

[XlllTyLeRlllX]

did you use a loop or is that all just you?

[ChromeCelica00]

I recorded some parts on my computer first, then I'm harmonizing over it =)

[Kenny00077]

that was sick man, subscribed, keep it up!

[ChromeCelica00]

[ilikefood1221]

Schecter Omen 6 Diamond Series

[ChromeCelica00]

haha thanks!

[Hawkofwar500]

Wow man!

You really know how to wield an axe :L

Which is great to see, coz most of the guitarists in youtube bands or that just post vids of them can't play for shit.

Keep it up, you're gonna go far, man!

[ChromeCelica00]

Thank you!

[AngelOfDeath1897]

what can i say, one of the better (metalcore? :P) riffs i've heard.. sweet ass riff

harmonizing is confusing though, im totally stuck xD the one thing i want to learn to do on guitar as of now and damn is it ever hard (for me at least xD)

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks! Harmonizing rules =)

It's not that hard...just play a few notes wherever, then 3 frets higher is the harmony, or around there =)

[surrender910]

Damn, your right about quick, But your right about the metal! THAT WAS SICK! Keep it up man really got something going for ya!

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks so much! Glad you like it!

[METALasFucKk]

[ChromeCelica00]

[TheBeacHobo]

This is some of the sexiest shit.. I keep coming back to it...

-StealDiesel

[ChromeCelica00]

haha awesome, thanks!

[BlackRulez35]

you are amazing! i love all your videos.

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks! I'll be making them soon I promise. When I do they'll be in the info.

[BlackRulez35]

[OfficialDosh]

*subcribes*

[ChromeCelica00]

Awesome thanks!

[2meanings]

Wow dude last time I commented on your videos you weren't a Youtube partner lol

That's cool man.

Do people really ask to use your riffs in their songs though?

[ChromeCelica00]

haha that's crazy man.

Yes people do.

[NickGuitarMan7]

Thats a very nice riff!

i love harmonies, theyre my favourite :)

got anymore?

I'd love to learn this

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks! I have plenty of other riffs, check my account!

[reacts224]

hey can you give me the tabs for this please!!!

[ChromeCelica00]

I get asked for tabs all the time for a lot of my videos, it would take me forever to get to everyone! But this one shouldn't take long at all, I just need my guitar and I will do it...Don't have it with me right now.

[Bawler666]

do you use a loop pedal for the harmonies?

[ChromeCelica00]

No pedals...I just record other guitar parts on my computer using "Audacity" then I just harmonize over it or play whatever other guitar parts there are. How you been by the way man? Long time.

[ITzLiQUiDxx]

In all of your videos, you play so Clean! good job man!

[ChromeCelica00]

Thanks so much! I try my best =)

[foreverhXc777]

thanx for the add check out my channel and you could win free stuff if you pay attention.

[KsErocks92]

dude could you post a tutorial for this iv been playing guitar for a couple of months and i love this riff

[ChromeCelica00]

I'm glad you like it! I don't usually post tutorials or anything though...I probably should...I'm sorry man. Maybe I'll start doing that soon with some of my vids.

[xzebition]

Can I, if I try to, also play this on accoustic? Or however you write that.

[ChromeCelica00]

Yeah! Post a video response, that would be really cool!

[atvena]

you'd give all that remains are run for their money when it comes to harmonizing

behold the KING!!!!

lol

great work

[ChromeCelica00]

[6footginger]
