In today's video, I break down the music theory behind this iconic black metal riff (and how to play it) from "The Somberlain" by Dissection. These are concepts that can be applied to your own riffwriting and songwriting. Even if you don't play guitar, as a fan of black metal music there are still some cool insights into why the music sounds the way it does! I'm sure all of you Dissection fans will enjoy it!

There is some advanced music theory mentioned in the video, as well as text slides that go into greater detail about what I'm discussing. Feel free to pause the video and revisit any sections that you need to. Don't hesitate to leave a comment regarding anything I discussed and to let me know what Dissection riff I should break down next!
