The whole band is insane. OOA does some pretty cool stuff, and some really WEIRD stuff too (listen to this intro: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKqt082EpKmcibQ.html), but overall I really enjoy their works. I won't lie though, it's going to be a while before I can play any of their stuff. I'm already chasing Nik in that I'm trying to get as good as he is, but it's gonna take forever.

This video is INSANELY helpful and really gives me an idea as to where I should even start in WRITING my own songs, and how to build my riffs accordingly.

"90s were the best" should be an actual song 😂👌❤️

I feel like the Metallica Fade to Black/Sanitarium/One/Day That Never Comes structure needs some attention, because they're all formatted the same way: intro, intro solo, verse, chorus, interlude solo, verse, chorus, bridge, long outro solo

These need to be full songs, they sounded so good

I don't know where the hell I've been all this time, but I'm glad I discovered this channel. Kickass riffs, you're clearly a talented musician. I can't wait to see more of your content!

Rammstein Structure: Keyboard intro (but on fire), verse, verse2, chorus, verse, verse3, chorus (on fire again), keyboard/bridge (you can put some fire here too), chorus, verse1, verse2 ❤️

All of these are badass! The first two structures are def my faves. Kinda neat to watch this because it'll actually help me with structuring new songs haha. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for making this man. Seriously helpful. My writing's been a bit off, now I can see what I've been forgetting. Seriously , thank you.

Those were some super sick riffs dude. Blows away anything written by other big channels. Keep it up man.

Yes! Please make a lesson explaining scales and modes! Your explanations are very clear and helpful! Love the content!

Love the structure of this video! Great concept Nik!

Your riffs sound good as hell as usual. I'm gonna check out some of your tracks.

My band usually uses a variation of "Dude, the 90's were the best", without solo and ending with a "chorus 2". But we also had a song with this structure: Intro, Chorus, Verse, verse 2, chorus x2 :D Also, we have one with Intro, Verse, break, verse 2, breakdown, breakdown 2, verse, break, verse

It's cool to see unique content AND actually good music with it. I'd actually jam to all of these songs. Keep it up Nik!!
