Riff Machine 2,105 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 During our last episode of Descent Into Avernus, our DM Devin sang a little number while our party was in a tavern. I had the melody stuck in my head for most of the week, and was playing around with it on the git-fiddle. I came up with this little short bit, but long term, I'll be recording this and it'll be used as BG music for our pre-stream countdown. Let me know what you think.

IRaMPaGe 3,238 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Sounds pretty good man, love the distorted bit especially. A nice meaty tone. Does the clean/intro bit have any reverb or delay on it? Could do with being a bit more floaty. Also you should rip a solo or nice lead melody over the heavier bit at the end. Does sound tasty tho dude. phil bottle, GazzaGarratt and Riff Machine 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9402-little-guitar-doddle/#findComment-145461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff Machine 2,105 Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 I'm running a bit of delay/chorus on that channel. I've been messing around with some different tones and I may go with an acoustic sim with some light hall reverb to give it some body. Depending on how long the tune will eventually be, I may add a nice solo at some point. I haven't got that far yet to figure one out. Lol!

Thanks for the input @IRaMPaGe Yeah I think the acoustic sim and light hall verb will just give it a more haunting kinda sound. It's definitely well played, just needs a little more something on the tone for that specific part. The riff is juicy tho. I was maybe getting a little ahead with the solo. I'm sure you will nail it tho dude. Anything you have in mind technique wise for it? Sweep picked arpeggios, tremolo picking a few pinched harmonics, a small tapping sequence? Like if Zakk Wylde and Eddie Van Halen had a baby that has a penchant for Steve Vai. 😎 GazzaGarratt and Riff Machine 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9402-little-guitar-doddle/#findComment-145469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff Machine 2,105 Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 I'm not nearly as good as EVH or Father Wylde to craft a solo of that magnitude. Lol! If I throw one in there, it'll probably be something minor that's more harmony then anything.

Those guys are just insane, I was more just curious to what kind of style you would incorporate solo wise. Dimebag Darrell was unbelievable as well. But look at Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd he doesn't exactly shred, but his solo's are magnificent and lot's of beautiful bends and progressions. I think you could knock a decent one out, I mean I just love a good guitar solo. Kinda felt you were doing something cool and that was missing, but I'm probably being greedy lol.

GazzaGarratt 11,051 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Love how it changes! But also i'm a big fan of the start too. You could do a hell of a lot of background music for so much stuff with your ideas dude. Have you thought about doing that for other things?
