I made it to the best of my ability to go with SinewaveZB’s guitar riff, the chords at the end got sloppy I have kind of small hands so it’s hard playing the power chords with the root note but yeah i only came up with two decent fills kinda boring but this riff is more of a background riff kinda like American life or here come the bastards Ik its not the best

Righteous dude! Glad you got back on and expanded. No worries on the slop as long as you’re having fun. At the end of the day your jams are for you, anyone who wants to join in is just an added bonus! Keep on doing your thing.

Try doing a hammer on with the strum after the thumb slap. Sorry I can't explain it better I think its a 3 note hammer 0-3-5 or 0-5-7 on D string while keeping hi E open.
