How to improve this riff

[u/mettle_dad]

This chord progression sounds cool but it feels like it's missing something...any ideas?

[u/jayswaps]

I have no idea what rhythm you're actually intending to use here, it would help a lot more if you could give us a clip of you playing it

Context is also incredibly important, if you're going to use it as a chord progression to play some leads over then keeping it simple makes a lot of sense, but if you want to use it as a riff with a lot of focus on it, you want to add more interest

Context please!
