Playing riffs I wrote from age 13 to now
Very different video today, but I've been wanting to make this one for a while. A lot of people ask me about my influences, and I can name bands all day, but I think the best way to understand how someone plays is to see how they got there. So, here's a bunch of riffs I wrote between 2005 and 2024—not necessarily my "best" ones, just the ones I think are most representative of where I was at the time.
