João Medeiros - RIFFHARD COMPETITION ENTRY

Thank you guys. So, so much. 🙏🙏🙏

My entry for the #Riffhard #IWantAMayonesQatsi competition.
I wrote the riff at 0:20! My attempt at an 8-bar GOD RIFF based on motifs and harmony from John Browne's original riffs.

🎸 Guitar tuning: D A D G A D
Bass tuning: D A D G

1. The sense of rhythm is insane!
2. Those little dissonant notes ringing out really sold it for me!
3. I just realized it's a Squier

People say periphery vibes but I feel more of a John Browne vibe like Flux Conduct and Monuments type sound with it, it’s very amazing and sounds beautiful

[ivaanngarcia]

This riff inspires me when I'm not feeling so creative

[piffe]

This is still probably the coolest riff I’ve ever heard years later

[GRAINCHILD]

I come here every couple of months to relive this, its one of my most favourite written things ever.

[willmullins]

Pure periphery vibes man! Absolutely love your playing style, reminds me of the mrak Holcomb

[lrendd]

[RobinLeneutre]

WE HAVE A WINNER 🔥🔥🔥
So proud of you my dude 😍

[Blzzzards]

I'm usually a quiet guy on Youtube, but holy f*ck dude. Crazy good!

[liamgideon]

man even after almost two years this still lives in my head rent free

[Stephen]

Dude! HELL YES! Your such a unique one-of-a kind talent, you NEED to be writing more original music. I have literally watched this video about 7 or 8 times in a row. I definitely hope you win and I will absolutely vote for you.

Let’s hear some more original music!!

Almost 6 months now and I'm still coming back to this!! Congrats on winning that Mayones, Joao! 100% deserved! One of the sickest riffs ever. You HAVE to make a song out of this! Maybe in collaboration with Monuments or Novelists ;)

[NickOlivera]

So melodic, so technical, so PERFECT

[vermilgates]

you're my favorite, I hope you win!!!
really killed it, I hope daddy Browne notices

[laurierim]

There goes everyone else's chance of winning :P

[ShrubPlays]

I'm unsure which is better.

The playing.
The riff itself.
The tele.
Or the shirt.

[lautrecds]

5 years later im still coming back to this video. literally onne of the coolest riffs ive ever heard in my life. hope youre doing well man

[XevonStudio]

I've been listening to Metal since i'm 8 years old. So 27 years now.
And that's by far the best riff i've ever heard. Absolutely impressive!
Wish i could play like this!

[anonymousyoutuber]

I hope you win Joao, your riff was very unique! It’s hard to make unique riffs like that. Best of luck!

[pinkpills]

Ayyy congrats on winning man! I was absolutely hoping you would and you crushed it.
