Start Session 1 Session 2
Make the Hook Sound Dangerous
Apply the minor second, minor third, and tritone as deliberate colors—not random fretboard shapes.
A two-bar death-metal riff that preserves Session 1’s rhythmic hook.
Open session Session 3
Turn the Riff into a Section
Develop the idea with contrast and return instead of abandoning it for a second unrelated riff.
An eight-bar A–A′–B–A section with a clear transition and ending.
Open session What this sample proves—and what it does not
It demonstrates the Riff Forge method and supporting practice tools. It does not promise mastery in three sessions, evaluate your playing automatically, or claim a guaranteed outcome. Your result depends on your starting point and focused practice.
