This is just a small portion of a song I wrote. The main distorted riff came to me on the toilet. I conscider it one of my best. So if you think it sucks, too bad, it doesnt.

i liked the intro way more than the riff. i would appreciate it if you spent a few years developing three or four unbelievable crescendoes starting super light like that and then gradually adding more depth of tone and layering until a huge and pure riff develops and comes crashing in. you know the song "run to the water" by live, i suppose. that has a phenomenal build in it. classic rock is not much on builds. i know metallica and many other metal bands get quiet and then explode on the main line but it is a lot more effective draw the listener in and kindof show them where you are going with a build but not making it overly obvious how it will resolve and then finally lead them to a "promised land" of sorts which they anticipated but couldn't make happen until you decide it is time for the finale or climax of the build. if you draw them in with soft notes so they eagerly lean forward with their ears to draw out what comes next and then you smash them in the face with a bat, it makes the listening experience much less enjoyable. you can either tell them "this is a song you will have to fight back on" and go hard all the way, or you can make it a song in which you fight for them the whole way and provide serene listening enjoyment as the battle unfolds in your hands.

hey jas,
i say you wear that shirt in every post. just make it the blog guitar shirt. and make the hardcore riff series like a game where we try to find what is different in the background of the video. for example, there is a grey shirt in the closet. next time, put a different colored one there or do stuff like that. it would be very entertaining. also, at the beginning (or end) throw in a word that is different every time - like "snippy" - to kindof start or close out the session.
