  Fun fact that no one would care about: I usually work on Thursday until really late at night and I always watch the episode next morning, and today this is probably the first Thursday in last 6 months that i'm at home, watching it before going to bed. Historic moment for me!

  My heart sunk when he didn’t say “let’s throw the mastering chain on it” before playing the final version 😢

  This episode was important because you can take something simple and elaborate on it. I always sit down thinking I need to &quot;impress&quot; with guitar, but honestly, just writing stuff that sounds good is important.

  I think Lucas Woodland from Holding Absence would go so hard on this

  I absolutely loved this riff from the first take! Sounds very “douche rock” “bro rock” “nu metal” and honestly I’m so here for it! I hate when people shit on that genre, it’s literally what we all grew up on.

  Duuuuude I&apos;m always a proponent of &quot;less is more&quot; when it comes to complexity. I love watching your vids because it&apos;s what I want to be doing right now. Working on music is life. Happy for you man, you have a great ear and I wish you well.

  Always appreciate these simpler rifts you do. I’m not a great technical player, so seeing rifts like this still sound amazing while being simple lets me know to keep writing

  As a more djent/thall kind of guy, I have to say I loved this episode! Such a simple, yet beautiful riff, and then the production is out of this world. Still at a baby stage producing wise, but learning so much with these series… Amazing work, thank you!🙌

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AFTqAzqeis&amp;t=70">1:10</a> no man you absolutely don&apos;t need to write insane riffs (although you almost always do😂), I love to just vibe to simple riffs with a ton of ambient, every type of riff on trt is welcomed
