my friends and i only play for our personal enjoyment. we don't know what we just did, nor do we have any clue what we'll do next, but we most definitely know what we're doing in the moment (most of the time haha)

what about yours?

In my band we tend to write music that would help us to become better players. That is to say, most of the riffs we write are some of the most challenging we can try to imagine.
Personally, Most of my riffs just come from freestyling. Or, I'll have a beat or a beat idea in my head, and I'll jut build a riff from that. A lot of my guitar riffs tend to be more bluesy and mellow, probably because I'm not the best guitar player. Whereas my bass parts can either be as spasmodic and fast as possible, or in the tradition of the "bass player" I write an even, underlying simplified bassline to keep things grooving and solid.

I don't know if you're the guy that checked us out or not, so here's a link.
