A trope and a cliché are totally different concepts. Tropes are things that people use to define a genre. A cliché is an idea that used to be a novelty, but it got so overused that people associate with uninspired/generic. For instance when Michael Jackson released "black or white" there was a breakdown where he started rapping for one bar; that got copied so many times it became a cliché.

You sir have just earned a sub 🤘 absolutely nailed it!

One little trick I learned from the old guitarists in Cradle of Filth to sound a little less generic is to split power chord parts between two guitars - ie play single note riffs harmonized in fifths. It’ll sound thinner than playing conventional two note power chords on both guitars, but then you create a greater sense of dynamics if you the transition to a heavier part of a song and have both guitars switch to playing/doubling the full power chord.

Ah, that open string phyrgian riff. Pretty much every band uses it at some point, it's simple, but we all love it because it's so fucking badass.

One of your best broham!

the fret zealot is super fun to use, and i have had 3 because it actually made learning significantly easier for me. but they are really fragile and only last a couple months at most, especially if you regularly use your thumb for fretting and muting.

That metal core harmonized pedal riff actually slaps

This is Awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

2:24-2:32 Seven Nation Army if it was played by Black Sabbath.

I love the Rick Graham Signature Fist Shake ™ at the end!

I loved it!

wow that lights for the frets its actually epic to learn and memorize chords!!!

Bless me, I thought this video was just a super-long ad for that LED fret/app thingy... Anyways, great vid! These "clichés" were all great! I particularly liked the pick rake one.

Kind of like a cool version of fretlight. I might have to get one of those and just do disco tunes so the lights will just go crazy.

Not sure how I never noticed the Twin Peaks tat on your right hand! Dope

I had to look up what pedal note meant...cool that I got to learn something new from your video! I'm a long time drummer but fairly new at guitar, been trying to teach myself for the last year or so. I love coming up with new riffs and playing around until I find a nice sounding chord. Even though I've not had any formal tuition on how to approach writing riffs it's impossible not to let my riffs be influenced by the metal I listen to. Open string phrygian is one that's crept in before. Also another cliche - the metalcore minor scale 0 5 7 8 stuff - whatever the guitar is tuned to those frets seem to have some gravitational pull if I'm feeling metalcore!

Wow cool frets bro what did you polish them with

Good ol harmonic pick rakes have gotta be one of my personal favorites 🖤
