riff factory

The standard rock song seems to have one good riff in it. Lately I've been writing some songs that feature multiple riffs (I hope they're good but I guess it's all subjective) and then constructing the song such that it has as many as 9 or 10 parts to it (and each part having its own riff) rather than the standard song format of V/C/V/C etc.....that has the main riff, then chords, back to the main riff and so on.

Anyway, here's a fragment of what I'm talking about: it's just the intro (a three part intro) and ends where it's going into the next section which fades into a clean guitar and two more melodic riffs.......anyway, give it a spin and see if it makes any sense to you :rolleyes:

Cool.

Some words that crossed my mind listening.

Keep it up! :cool:

Hey, thanks, glad you like it. The finished song will run about 10 or 12 minutes it looks like. I'll try and post the whole thing when it's done.

the riff sounds good... but where is the solo part? izzit the tapping part? the tapping part sounds not so suitable for the riff... that my opinion... no hard feeling ok? but the whole song feels ok... keep it up

This is just the first couple of minutes of a larger piece (think of it as an extended intro of sorts). I actually did finish this one and it turned out to only be about 5 minutes long.......though, I did restrain myself and did not actually play a solo -- not that I'm anti-solo (lord knows, I did about 3 demo albums full of them) but this song didn't need it.

Since I got my GI-20 I've been working on incorporating a lot of non-guitar sounds and working with non-standard musical forms...probably of minimal interest to the average guitar player but since I do play guitar I gotta tell somebody :rolleyes:
