What is it? It’s a challenge to write your own riffs on a drum loop that you can download from a link on every episode of the segment “Sunday with Ola” by Ola Englund<\/strong> on YouTube<\/strong>. If you still don’t know who Ola Englund is, you probably come from the Moon or Mars, anyway, just visit his YouTube channel<\/a> and try to follow some episodes on Sunday (or just watch some of the previous ones<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The good thing about writing riffs on a random drum lood is that it forces you to stay focused and write, if you keep on doing it every sunday consistently you can come up with a really interesting amount of riffs in a matter of weeks. This could be the most useful “writing tool” that you can find!<\/p>\n

I’m trying to stay committed every sunday, sometimes I can’t do it and just give up but I’m trying my best to stay on track. I have 4\/5 entries up to this point and just listening back to all of them I have to say they’re not that bad, at all! I’m curious to see where this challenge will bring me in terms of writing, you should give it a try if you want to get inspired and write new stuff!<\/p>\n

Below you can find a youtube playlist that I’m going to update every time I have a new entry, even if it’s not my idea but I participated just playing it.<\/p>\n
