On Crunchy Riffs by blkmkt

Watching the trailer for this game http://store.steampowered.com/app/252030/ reminds me that I never figured out how to make bass and guitar riffs like that. I don't personally know a lot of musicians that I have enough access to when I try to do this, and it's hard for me to even describe what I'm trying to do either way. Weasyl has the highest concentration of musicians that watch me, so I'm opening this question to you guys --
how do I shot guitar riffs? I'm not even concerned so much with effects or VSTs or soundfonts; while those things are welcome, I'm not sure how to compose such a backing riff to begin with. What does this sort of backing look like on a piano roll?

    The way I do them is mostly VST related, but I think one key is short, fast notes (like, pinched) used in conjunction with longer-lasting ones (like open!)
    ...That... probably made absolutely no sense at all, the way I described it. x.x;
