THE *BEST* ARPEGGIO TRICK TO WRITE METAL RIFFS! 

Love how you break down the music theory into something interesting and palatable. 🤘

I think that song was Semi-Charmed Life.

Youre a natural teacher ray!! Amazing breakdown and step by step explanation!

This video actually helped out a lot I never really understood what arpeggios were until now

It made incredible sense... Thank you, XRC... 🤘

Awesome thank you!

Definitely need more videos like this.

This works for me because you made it relatable, therefor easier to understand. You do great music, but also showed that you are also a great teacher. Thank you for being passionate about your craft and willing to help others like be able to understand and be inspired to work on music.

I casually watch your videos but this one is outstanding!! Subbed. Thanks Ray!

Really cool video man. Only recommendation to make it 10/10 would be to add visuals for people that don’t understand the shit like if you had the chords in a key written on the screen. Well done!

Door vid my dude, one of the best guitar RU-vidrs out there rn, keep up the good work! 😁🎉

Cool stuff, I really need to start trying to learn more lol

Bro that demo was absolutely slamming 🤘🔥🔥🤘

Ray, you lost me at “Hey everyone, I’m Ray, a guitarist here on RU-vid” Just kidding, good little lesson. You should do more of these types of videos on RU-vid.

very cool! 🔥🔥🤘🤘

Thanks for doing this! There are a lot guitar lessons on RU-vid, but yours are very clear helpful. great length/level of depth

Love your look, Snoopwolf

Very, very nice! I really like the making the link from theory, to practise to actual riff writing. Hope you'll be doing more of these in the future!

great video

Awesome job.i don't know if u have any teaching background but i imagine you would be extremely effective teacher.u always have. A great positive attitude and that was a very well break down.yhank you brother.

Ya that's a really cool idea. I gotta play around with that. Thanks. 👊😎

Thank you

3:07 yo I’ma keep it real with you. That album, the one with the “due due due” song, is low-key a masterpiece. Seriously, it goes hard.

And this video is why you are STAY METAL RAY🤘 making cowboy chords metal

Damn Ray I didn't know you were so good at theory! Thanks for this lesson, I'm gonna practice this tomorrow!

Much appreciated seriously!

very cool leasson Ray well done!

Stay Metal, Ray 🤙

Great video man 🤘🏼

Holy shit I never would have thought to use arpeggios for a riff like that... Thanks for teaching dumbasses like me! XD

Thanx Ray , keep up

Excellent stuff Ray!! Love your theory vids.

Dude these videos are awesome.

Dude. I can’t wait to get home from work and try these out.

4:35 this is a really good lesson here... if I could just add on to it. Do you know how to play octives? Of course you do. Octives are all the same notes. So , if you are doing ur arpagio pattern starting from G on the low E string, you can very quickly grab the G octive on the D string and repeat literally the exact same pattern and make it an exercise to work through all the strings. This is how you learn to play in different keys :)

That's badass brother. Would love to have you on my radio show Rockland revolution. Hmu.

I seem to remember a lesson similar to this video were there was some heavy thrash kinda stuff with this technique 🤔

Hi Ray,the link with the music theory does't open for me...i'm from Romania(europe) is it counts

Do you think you could do a video on explaining how to get good metal tone on low watt amps?

Also correct me if I am wrong but the way you showed here each position(arpeggio) you moved up the fretboard would also be the same spots as the modes in g.

It interesting. But how do I write drums for metal riffs? That sounds so complex

Ray you should try one of those bass VI since it’s basically a baritone lol

Kool

I want to see a breakdown of that riff at the end you wrote.

Lions at the Gate 🤘

Please make a song on that riff you wrote xD

Metallica,Cliff Burton anesthesia/pulling teeth 🤘🤘

How much for a lesson?

1st

See if a Les Paul can handle drop A 🤘

The notes in an arpeggio don't need to be played in succession.

You talk too muc😢
