How to write a riff like Tim Henson/Polyphia in 3 mins

quick lesson how to write riffs like Tim Manson from Philippian just remember McDonald McD the first one M it means Melody so start with a super simple Melody for example like this [Music] so the melody here is like based on the email platonic so basically prediction nine here so the next step say it means called you have to add some chords to the melody that you wrote but if you're not familiar with the theory behind or you have no idea what code to use you can just copy the chord progression of a song that you like for example if I like this song [Music] I can just play it over the Melody I wrote [Music] or you can choose um a song that start with another chord for example uh before like this one [Music] so the last empty it means drama because you have to think like a drummer to think about a character snare and hi hand on the guitar the kick is the the bass note the snare you can use the high note in the chord the harmonic or just a strike and the hi-hat is a ghost [Music] so if you want to prove like pooped cats for cats you should play your backing like [Music] so and then apply to the Mandy rope um so it should be something like um [Music] or I can try a different group or for example if we want a group like then your backing should be like [Music] of course apply to the melody rope [Music] just like that so and then you can try to make it as complicated as you want by moving the nooks around and then adding more viewings so that's basically everything you have to know [Music]
