complicated riffs

[Araillac]

Have you ever made a riff so complicated you couldn't play it unless you played it slow or it took you an extensive amount of non stop practice to finally master it?

[Deacon_Blues]

I've written bass riffs that have been next to impossible to play while singing, and a few other rather difficult basslines. Then I realized I needed to simplify my basslines.

[Matt Till]

I've written stuff that I couldn't initially play, but with a little practice I was able to get it right and in time. I don't write too far beyond my abilities, but my compositional skills are lacking.

my band tends to do that. we write a song thats just too ridiculous to pull off live.. so then its a matter of trying to get it together.

i can see it now..

"why dont we change time signature every 4 measures using only prime numbers!"

[Elrend]

I wrote a song where the time signature vary based on the fibonacci sequence. We've never even attempted doing it live.

[MirageBass]

I wrote a bassline or two that tended to take over the song, and I usually had to practice it over and over to get it down for live shows.

Our keyboardist hated me.

Almost every guitar riff I have ever written. I write way beyond my ability on guitar, but I am getting better, but that only means that the guitar parts are more complicated then they were 3 months ago.
