Riffing!

Today I decided to make a video of me playing one of my most recent riffs which could be made into a song if refined a bit and if other instruments are involved. Recently i have been putting time into figuring out riffs and also some short melodies which most likely will someday end up on a video as well. I still need to practice this riff so that it will sound 100 % clean. Recently I have also been very much into improvising ´solos´ and Í´ll be trying to figure out a solo part for this so called start of a song.

Me and Francesco have been planning to start seriously attending the school´s music room starting after the autumn break. We have a plan that we will be figuring out new riffs and also lyrics for them so that they could become songs eventually. As we are so far only two members in our small ´band´ we will be playing only the drums and guitar. We will be taking turns on who plays which instrument. As I have a tiny background of also playing the drums, Francesco wished me to show him how to play the basic beats on drums. I know maximum 4 different drumming combinations so I will be showing Francesco some tips and tricks meanwhile we practice and later on Francesco will most likely start figuring out own drum fills. Would be great if we manage to get other members to join us so that we could make music filled with harmony ;) .

To improve from now on; as mentioned before I will need to slightly refine the riff, figure out a solo and write some lyrics. Perhaps Francesco will be helping me out with that. Also I´m looking forward to play together with Francesco. It will be challenging as playing in a simultaneous manner can sometimes be hard, especially if we play newly invented riffs and beats.

I will definitely continue making new riffs and melodies as much as possible as playing the guitar has become one of favorite hobbies!
