How do people make guitar riffs and basslines that don't suck ass
https://files.catbox.moe/rcdr2w.mp4 -something bad I made on bandlab

Pls

I'll tell you later

You learn as many riffs (that you like) as you can, you study music composition, and you make riffs. You can't really expect to just write brilliant shit without knowing nothing. You're not Hetfield.
>>
I have zero knowledge of music but just as a listener I will say that what you wrote sounds out of tune, whatever that means to me I don't know
>>
>>129668324
so you're not even a musician? You have no chance of writing anything good. If you never learn you will reinvent trivial shit or create total nonsense
>>
>>129668349
I may not be a musician but at least I'm literate. My post was replying to OP, I'm not OP
>>
>>129668324
well, you weren't replying to anything, retard

>>129668459
Don't blame your failure to read the entirety of the one sentence post on me
>>
>>129668472
I read it and interpreted it as a reply to my comment. I thought that out of tune was some metaphor you used
>>
>>129668306
Ok
>>129668324
Idk either

When I was a shithead teenager who only cared about metal I tried to write riffs every day. They were boring and generic and all of them sucked. At some point, I decided I wanted to write proper songs with melodies and lush chords.
After getting good at that, when I tried to write riffs, they were much more musical and memorable. Moral: riffs are just repetitive melodies, write melodies and riffs will follow
