How to Write Modern Grunge riffs like Superheaven | Sunday Riff Refinery Ep. 13

Описание: Watch my other Riff Refinery Episodes:    • Sunday Riff Refinery: Modern Guitarist Son...  

Welcome back to Sunday Riff Refinery, Episode 13! Today I'm diving into modern grunge inspired by bands like Superheaven, Nirvana, Slowjoy, and Balance and Composure. I'm showcasing three killer pedals from ‪@walrusaudioeffects‬ —the Eras Distortion, Qi Etherealizer, and Deep Six Compressor—to create thick, distorted tones perfect for gritty, melodic riffs. Everything runs through my Peavey Invective MH clean channel, and I'm playing my trusty GOC Illumina (all are tagged below).
