Hey Everyone,
So I am a relatively novice guitar player (only 2 years under my belt) and am trying to expand the material I write. I know the basic stuff like pentatonics. major etc. and some more odd stuff, augmented/dim, dominant etc. and thus can come up with some decentish riffs that sound good. My issue is that I would love to be able to write stuff more in the vein of Meshuggah or Bulb than your average cookie cutter bands or simplish djentish stuff. I know that both the artists I mentioned are light years above me but could you guys give me some example riffs to kick start my writing as well as giving me some of the scale names and modes used to make stuff in that style? Thanks everyone.
