Syn's Tips Riff "Thoughts"

Decided to post my riff after the encouragement I got from many of you. As I said, it's not much, but I am proud of it.
I returned to the CAGED System and based my Riff around Syn's Tip in Lesson 29, where he encourages us to stay in one position when playing and making the most of it. To demonstrate why that is benefitial I played my chords in different positions first and the main riff all in one position.
Here's the theory behind it: My Riff is based around Dm, the Chord Progression is Dm-F-G (Dm-A-Dm-A-F-A-Dm-A-G-A-G-A to be exact). The main riff is sweeping the arpeggios (I think) all based around the fifth fret, using Dm in the Am shape, A in the E shape, the C shape for F and the D shape for G. I always play D, F or G arpeggio on the up sweep and the A on the down sweep.
I am doing this in so much detail to get some extra practice with the CAGED system. Also I am aware there is no F# in my key, which I play when sweeping the G arpeggio but I thought it adds a nice touch.

It was nice seeing you at the meeting today. Just like it's nice stepping into a pile of dog shit.
Tomorrow is the day... Gotta record my final one month progress video. Can't say I am excited. Been playing the whole thing all week but the last lick still sounds like absolute shit.
Oh boy, last week of my One Month Challenge. Gotta get some more practice in as I know it will be 200% worse when the cam runs lol
One Month Challenge going stupid slow. Don't think I can make it through the whole Intro until the 17th.
But I FINALLY figured out how to program fitting Drums for my Song, which means I can soon record the whole thing.
Well, just put up my Gibson Flying V for sale (Germany only though). Looking at other offers online I may get more than what I originally payed for which is cool. Probably gonna end up getting another Schecter to take its place.
That moment when you realize that the reason why you could never get the intro to the stage down is because you've been playing it wrong
Finally found motivation to play a bit more. Working on a hard ass song I tried quite some time ago. The Tapping Intro to be exact.
I did actually find a nickelback cover and apparently it's one of his all time favourite bands.
Hell, after I don't know how many weeks I think I finally figured out how to play my new instrumental to a stupid click.
After not playing guitar all week I had a really fun jam session this morning! Played all my instruments, practiced some songs. even startet writing a mini song. Didn't know how much I needed this!
Merry Christmas to my second familiy!
Just made a plan on what to learn next on guitar. Two covers and some lessons. Let's see how that goes as I still don't have a lot of time. One video is for sure coming in december and I am really excited about it!
No synner saturday Riff from me today but I did practice my original a Bit. Still can't Play Well enough to a Metronome to record the track for good. Even considering a lesson with Bill, may help me with this
Just tried the Hughes & Kettner "Spirit of Metal" amp at our local store. That thing is so tiny you wouldn't believe it's an amp but DAMN that power and pressure behind the sound. Only good for heavy riffing though and with master on 2 that 50W thing tried to blow my ears out already. So not an amp for my bedroom guitarist ass...
wrote a tiny riff with Syn's Tips that I am really proud of but I think it's just not good enough. Don't really have what it takes yet to make the things I imagine reality. Barely have time for practice anyway.
So excited for the care package. I hope it's the sunburst guitar. Maybe I am lucky and I get a Hellwin too?
Looking at Syn's Profile and achievements... Shouldn't He have a Title like "one Stringer" or something?
Trivium will come to my home town next year!! Thought about making an Ibaraki strap for Matt to give to him when they are coming. So exciting!!
Honestly new SOAD feels kinda lame and Energy lacking.
