When I first started playing, I often would write riffs that would incorporate every little technique i knew. Of course, none of them would sound as good as this. Very well done, sir..

[mikerauter]

You are simply a BM master guitarist. Awesome mate.

[Tristaneus]

Simon. Let me tell you sir that you are one of my favorite YouTubers and I thank you for all your tips and input you put on this channel.
I'm a Patreon supporter and I hope I finish your Black Metal course someday. I love anything you do with Darkthrone and Satyricon. Many thanks!

I still use the 20 techniques in one Riff from the video, this is a perfect addition to it Mate. This one was more black so I'm not going to complain am I? (haha) Great man!.

This was a great idea, Simon! You could definitely get away with making more like these!

[radeksima]

Bernth teached me a techniques, but you teached me to play. Thanks for another lesson, sir. 🤘

[AessamL]

This is Super good Simon! Those tremolo over chords or so cool 🤘🤘🤘

[BlackDragonDivision]

Tremolo picking chords is the "soul"of black metal for me, dunno why while im listening to it Varg's image came to mind....

[Peter-byox]

sounds better than 90% of stuff out there today

[Tomb]

Yes, more variants encompassing all these techniques would be perfect.

[michaelmartins]

Im learning a lot from you. Thank you!

[stefanorossi]

super cool, and thank you for the tab.

[kkahn]

power chord exercise sounds a lot like graves of the fathers by cryptopsy but in E standard, I think I'll start using these as warmups!

[Blasphemus-pj]

Saludos Simon desde Cuba, esta técnica del trémolo la uso mucho en la banda Hrafnsmerki. 🤘

[stefanscutilus]

would love to have the tabs for this exercise.

[dimitrizk_music]

the start of this riff reminded me of ARCH ENEMY - The Race intro

[AleksiK-xifo]

Hi Simon. I know this is an older video but I was wondering if you still have the tabs for this practice riff up somewhere. Found your channel a while ago. Really appreciate your content. Started playing guitar a couple of months ago and learning all my favorite songs with your help. These technique videos have helped me a ton as well. All the best from Finland! \m/

[AdamRandom]

Thanks. Cannot see the link for the tabs?

[emilholmer]

I am struggling to play the powerchords clean when i have to shift position this fast. Any tips, ( except practice)?
Does it make sense to practice alternate finger settings, playing finger 1-3, and shift to finger 2-4? ...
