What are your thoughts on on that guitar your using?
Got my head moving 🤘
What dis you use to pitch shift your strat? Sounds great! Great analysis, too!
Seriously great video! Most concise and relevant explanation of intervals and how to navigate them on guitar. Well done!!
I studied at a fine arts high school and i gotta say that your videos and explanations are much more understandable and memorable than the education i received at school. I discovered your channel with the loathe analysis video. Brilliant content, I'd like to see more <3
Is this riff in a song you wrote? It’s seriously really good, I need to hear it in a song man
Thanks! Not yet, I wrote this riff just for the video. I am working on a batch of songs for an EP though, I might expand on this riff and turn it into a full song for that
@@andrewboothmusichope to see it in a song one day. I will definitely be on the lookout for new songs you put out man. You’re a real talent
Please do a breakdown of New Faces in The Dark! Loved this video and my only complaint is that it wasnt longer hahaha
Genius bro ❤❤❤
Great stuff man!!! What's the band on your shirt?
great ideas
I used to do this back in the day minus the sheet music with my classical/flamenco/jazz training.
but you look like you are petting your guitar :D
Very nice
Most 80's and 90's power metal bands follow this same process.
Very cool. Cool to see this process.
fuckin love this
So glad to see people using the last mode of harmonic minor!!!
Is there a place where you've tabbed out these chords?
Great explanation and banger of a song!🔥
You're a genius my friend. love the videos. would love to see one on how you write different chord progressions for each section of a song. or how you layer guitars.
Subbed, great explanation
This is everything ive ever wanted in a guitar video
Thats sick dude
Please keep posting videos. You are able to explain your method so clearly and consicely I feel like a fool for not doing it already. Riffs always sounding so fresh and inspired, glad I found your channel man
Will do! Thank you for being here watching. It makes me happy to see that these videos are helping people. We’re still just scratching the surface
This might be the single best metal songwriting and composing video I’ve ever seen. This is beyond awesome. It totally makes sense and I can totally see exactly how it connects. I do understand modes and all that. But never figured out how to truly use them. Seriously, this is beyond amazing.
Wow, thank you! This concept always seemed so obvious to me but I haven’t seen anyone else talk about it. I hope it brings you many songs
bro these tutorials are really helping with my song writing, the las video of intervals made an idea that was in my head for a long time come to life, but can i ask a kinda specific question? when i write i generally have problems with rythm and making or using or finding rythm themes or do something that feels groovy or just that rythmically makes sence, specially because i am in the proces of writing a tool'ish track so the rythm themes are really important and i wanna make a main riff that fits the song and the other stuff that i alredy have so yeah.
Check out the songs Atropos, Zagreus, or Dracul Gras by Periphery. All three of these songs are essentially derived from one core rhythm that has been manipulated.
@@JupiterJones0424 true, also reptile and ragnarok are like that, i think i will try do something like that thx
@@juankraks8754 Rangarok is great and implements much of what is discussed in this video!
@@JupiterJones0424 oh fr i can totally hear that, a certified banger
That’s awesome! And that’s exactly why I decided to start making these videos. On the rhythm thing, try these steps: 1. If you can’t already, learn to read and write standard notation. At the very least, the rhythmic element. 2. Practice translating the rhythms of songs you like into standard notation through transcription. 3. Over time, doing step two a LOT will allow you to understand the rhythms you hear in your head more clearly which will give you the confidence to use those rhythms because they will no longer feel “wrong” or “unclear.” Bonus step 4. Spend some time transcribing your rhythmic ideas into some kind of notation software with a playback feature. The playback will tell whether or not you accurately notated the rhythms in your head. Like step 2, as you get more accurate doing this, you gain more confidence and clarity in your rhythmic ideas. Step 2 is also crucial to develop rhythmic vocabulary, which is necessary to create original ideas If you ever feel like getting some more hands-on help with these steps, I do teach private lessons!
Awesome! What tuning is that? Is it also pitch shifted down?
Thanks! Yeah, it’s drop c pitched down an octave
First! Lets goooo. Booth is the goat
Dang that was quick!
Thanks for the video. Here's a challenge for you. Listen to Indian classical music, transcribe the tabla into percussive parts of the riffs, but have the chord progressions and the melody from neo classical metal.
Ooooh that’s a really good idea! I’ll definitely have to give that a try
Sounds really cool. Melodic and heavy. Well thought out stuff. It would be cool to hear Fast Arpeggios on the thicker strings, like in a rhythm context.
i write metal riffs.. by playing random shit, until something catches my ear and then i incorporate it into something bigger and longer. interesting stuff man. everyone approaches things so much differently, its a very cool aspect of music.
Grooovy Reminds me of They Move Below by Meshuggah
This one was absolutely Meshuggah inspired. If you haven’t heard it yet, I released a full version of this. Check out ‘Mortal Hymn’ by Shadow Omniscience
@@andrewboothmusic haven’t heard it yet, time to pull it up (I did end up checking it out and im glad I did. My playlist has grown by 1) Might be hard to answer, but what do you think it is about this riff that gives it that “Meshuggah sound”?
Did you go to Berklee?
I didn’t. I got by BMus from the University of Saskatchewan
@@andrewboothmusic well you are an excellent guitar player my friend. I also got a music degree and studied composition. I am just getting back into guitar and found your ideas very intriguing and I hope to bring some of my studies into metal and hardcore as well. Keep up the great work!
Love this video, so specific and for the same reason super useful!
Sounds very the contortionist like really cool
Thanks! The Contortionist are amazing. Language is one of my favourite albums
Cool video man We actually can make metal to be full of possibilities, but some people just don't like it, instead they (some of western metal community) trying to achieve more heaviness and down tuned things that sounds boring and monoton. that's why i sticked more to Asian metal, because their community didn't limit them and hated them for being different.
Should start a new metal band called ‘Plagiarist’ (jk)
I started with classical as a kid, but fell in love with metal growing up. This pretty much sums up why. I stopped playing many years ago, though. Wish I never did.
Never too late to get back into it!
This is so sick! I’ve been doing this approach for a while. Works just as well with writing riffs. Been obsessed with writing in ultra locrian and going hard with modal harmony. I recently started go back to functional harmony to internalize all those weird and augmented 6th chords use them in a metal context.
I think it was Andy Larocque who said he did something similar to this. He has a big classical influence and it shows in his king Diamond riffs
I see you too are a Human of Abstraction
Indubitably
What school did you go to ? What major ?
I went to the University of Saskatchewan, music major, Bachelor of Music degree. Within the department of music, my major instrument was classical guitar
Sweet thank you @@andrewboothmusic
Just discovered your channel, you’re a fantastic guitarist! Subbed 👍
Somehow this changed my view towards music theory (again) I just love how just 12 notes of Music can change things so much. Loved the video!! ✨
That makes me really happy! All advanced and complex music theory concepts can be made simple with a strong understanding of music fundamentals
Kudos on explaining and demonstrating this in less than a minute and a half. Refreshingly fluff-free. This is smart brevity.
Thank you! I could elaborate on this topic at length but I thought a surface level explanation would be more digestible at first
On low tuning guitar please 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sucks lol
Meshuggah vibes in this one, hell ya man 🙏
Congrats on 10k subs!
Wow - going to try it - thanks for a great lesson
