INTRO
Is your djent riff currently sounding something like this? (click play above)
FAULT
One of the most common faults in djent is that all the emphasis is placed on writing a crazy rhythm, but then that rhythm is often played on one note. How disappointing! So, here’s a hack from the new Meshuggah single to fix this fault.
HACK
Meshuggah use arguably the most djenty scale: the octatonic. This 8-note scale is made by repeating the pattern of one semitone followed by one whole tone. So, instead of djenting your riff away on only one note, add a melodic run into it using the octatonic scale. That way you’ll have a crazy rhythm and a crazy melody!
