It starts off melodic and interesting but the way it sticks with the same note speed to complete the riff made it less destinctive and more like a dream theater, math rock clone. But judging by the the sound that's probably what you are into anyway!
Haha, definitely see what you mean. The thing to keep in mind here is that I'm restricting myself to just a few hours for 1) coming up with, 2) refining and 3) recording each riff. The day 3 riff was just a simple 7/8 pattern transformed into a longer part through transposition, reptetition and variation. But yeah, it's still just a string of 8th notes.

With that said...

Day four

I'll have to come up with something more laid back and simplistic tomorrow because these prog metal riffs eat up too much of my time...
