Love this riff. This is my favorite tone of yours.  Shining clean on the les paul sounds great when you do it.

[ZaeYeL]

this all could fit into metal, especially prog, you want to have all these different styles and sounds you can pull out for play

[harrisoneatsairplane]

I like your use of rolls in the riff. I found they're really useful for upper string sweeps, but I love how you applied it to hybrid and finger picking. It's a great technique. Thanks for the lesson.

And I'd like to note from a previous comment from a user asking for more metal riffs, really you can apply any of these riffs to metal by changing the stylistic technique(and desired key), and adding distortion. The beauty of music; the ability to sculpt your own sound.
