I kept playing the same melody on guitar and couldn't figure out what it was...turns out it was the main theme from The Lord of the Rings movies.

A few years back, noodling on my bass in my basement (bassment?), I came up with a great riff, and played it for two minutes solid before I realized: it's AC/DC, Hells Bells.

What's really silly: that riff was my ringtone at the time, and it still took me 2 minutes to recognize it.

I got what turned out to be The Clairvoyant stuck in my head when I used to play piano....no idea where I'd heard it.

Usually I'll start playing something a lot and I know it's not a Maiden riff, but it sounds so much like a Maiden riff that I have to let it slip away into the aether.

 

[Mosh]

For some reason I have to try really hard to write something that sounds like Maiden. Pretty much any other band I'll find myself ripping off without realizing it, but never Maiden. Maybe it's because they have such a distinct formula. Just stay away from E C D E (or E C G D)!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Oh man, I don't have to try at all. It's a curse. Every time I go to write a metal song I have to make a conscious effort for it not to be a Maiden rip-off.

Just stay away from EA C D EC

In the first minute of "Problem Child" alone, AC/DC uses more unique chords than the entirety of Hallowed.

 

[Forostar]

Hmm need to hear that.

Hmm need to hear that.

A blindfolded goat could play Problem Child.

I decided to cover this emotional and beautiful Satriani song today. I dedicate it to @Ariana, the birthday kid!

@MrKnickerbocker If it interests you, I stumbled upon the melody that I posted here about a week ago. It is found in this song at 40 seconds:

 

[Ariana]

Thanks, Saap. That's very sweet of you.

Ah! That's what it was. I must say, I'm pretty unfamiliar with that album.

Me too.

I couldn't understand a word of the email, but I'm pretty sure I did it. Good luck!
