hello from Siberia! good luck with your album, looking forward to listening to it

Dude, randomly came across the channel (algorithm is working). Two thoughts for your consideration. 1. No one is doing philosophy of music - can you make something graat out that those two talents (music and philosophy)? 2. You can chill on the video effects. Rick Beato, Marty Swartz and many other great music UA-camrs add slim to none effects. Find an interesting niche, develop interesting content, present it with good quality audio and video sans effects, and they will come. Advice from a non UA-camr - but i am a geezer and a music fiend. So maybe some cred. 😀

There would be no Opeth if this scale never existed lol

This was excellent! First.....you're just damn good at editing and storytelling and building a narrative and whatnot. But also there's a self awareness to what you're doing that makes it compelling....like I'm in on it all. And yes, the thing u kept playing was indeed catchy and cool. The final bar...with that low bass note, THAT is what sold it for me, personally. Just subbed. :)

Great video

you could also just think of it as a minor scale with altered 7 to sharp 7 and just use sharp 4 (flat 5) instead of 4. IOW, just an alteration of the minor scale instead of calling it a new scale. But ok. It's also just one note different than harmonic minor so you could also think of it that way. Harmonic minor but change 4 to flat 5. That's probably easier than making 2 alterations to the minor scale. The flat 5 and minor 6 give it a very unusual sound with those two half steps in a row. Something to toy around with for sure. The flat 5 will sound scary or unsettling with the minor 3rd and shuffling that b5, to 5 to 6 and so on. Then build your 7 chords from those notes and off you go!!!! Horror soundtrack writes itself!

4:21 shows the scale! Would have been great to START with that then go into your life's story.

LOL. guilty!! Glad I’m not the only one. I have thousands upon thousands of recorded ideas. Many of which are generic crap, but some quite good. I have 0 completed songs. Zero! 30 plus years of it. But hey, want to have a jam? I’m the guy who will write the riffs, melodies, easily 10 per night. But it’s insane. Drives me nuts. Big problem for me is I hate writing lyrics, I’m no good at it, and I just don’t understand engineering. Everything sounds like amateur shite. But I know people who have written one song in their life and at parties out it comes and everyone swoons. Sigh!

The song was great, but you needed THREE songs to better showcase the scale. You have a slow, moody piece. How about something more romantic? And then something upbeat and a little twisted? I know it's more work, but it would work to show the expressive range of the scale.

Thank u buddy!

Mind…. blown.

You so hit the nail on the head. I equate recording a new riff or idea to throwing another dirty dish in the sink. Eventually it becomes overwhelming and you don't want to deal with it. I am currently writing a concept album dedicated to the love of my life, my wife Joanna. She passed away well over a year ago. I have only now, ofter many months of recording ideas, completed a song. I already knew this (what you saidl), but hearing it brings it home. I appreciate this video. Sometimes we just need to hear the obvious. I need to start finishing.

Excellent channel sir, came at a perfect time for me, love the film quality too, cheers and thanks for the info and drive, good luck with your music, good luck to us all… onward from Birkenhead, UK

Always some great wisdom on your channel. Personally something I sometimes struggle with is feeling "lost" inside my own song, when it becomes too complex and I feel anything I will add or change will be a huge endeavour.

5:02 that progression reminded me of some of DBZ's ost! Good vid!

Dude , that sounded very cool.

This is so true !

I would like to thank you too🙏🤘🏼, I made it all the way to the end. What an interesting scale

I took a year off playing guitar and writing music. I had nearly 100 demos from over the years that were either nearly finished or finished but I never released anything. The part where you said about being good at starting songs but not finishing them really struck me. You described exactly how I feel. I just started revisiting my music after a year and I think it’s time to release something. Thanks again!!

this is so true. Had 20+ pretty good "unfinished" songs. . . finally decided that's it. I got to finish some. finished one. It was like becoming a mad scientist . . .but DAMN that felt GOOD when I was finally done and sent it to Mastering. What came back - felt and sounded so great and satisfying. Now I need to go back and finish more songs!

"I love writing, but I hate recording and mixing". Oh man that's me to a tee. Something that's helped me out a little bit is writing stuff that's more manageable for me as one person doing everything. The problem I'd often run into is that I'd finish writing something and then I'd think "Fuck I have to record and mix all those parts". and sometimes there would be parts I'd have to practice before I could even start recording anything. Now I think my output is a lot better when I come up with things where I feel at the end "yeah that's doable" and I can more evenly distribute my energy across the whole process instead of getting stuck in the hole of guitar take no 334 on verse 3 haha. btw 0:22 really made me laugh :p

Great video, I 100% know the feeling. If you find the process of recording and executing so “painful” did you ever considered going to a studio or working with a recording engineer that works with you during that process and frees you from that weight? Maybe that would allow you to focus more on less technical aspects!

ooo! the ending! looking forward to hearing more of whatever that was!

I like the wind sounds.

Very good way to put it, thank you

For me, my biggest struggle is that I'm not an experienced lyricist. I find it really hard to write lyrics and vocal parts and I feel like it holds me back the most. I can always write a riff I like, but there's also the parts that come after that can be really tricky. I'd have one great riff, but I feel like the idea for the next section kinda degrades the epicness of the initial idea. Do you ever feel like that? I do all the time. This music thing is really hard, but it's one of those things where you gotta just keep doing it. Keep up with the grind, because every project shows growth in some way. You'll always learn something new and different every time you sit down to work on a project. I've been trying the whole lyric writing thing more with my boys in Say or Do. I wrote the majority of the lyrics for our song Neon Lights (which has turned into quite the warmly received live staple - we're gonna be recording it soon). It's definitely helped me feel more confident in my writing. It's safe to say that confidence is probably the biggest thing holding us back overall. Who do we make our art for? Do we do it for ourselves? Do we do it for others? Or is there another completely different reason? Who knows. Everyone's situation is different. I personally do it for myself, first and foremost. If I don't enjoy it and I'm not having fun, why am I doing it? If others like it too, then it's just a bonus. Being able to play a show and have even 5-10 people show up makes a whole world of difference. When people come up to me and tell me how much they liked our set and the songs, it makes me feel happy and like I am making an impact on the world around me. One of my local idols and favourite musicians in my scene came up to me a few weeks ago after our set and he told me that he loved "Neon Lights", and he complimented me on my songwriting. It made me feel great as I haven't always been surrounded by supportive people like that. So many of my previous peers would always play the Tall Poppy Syndrome card and try and cut me down if I was doing something I loved doing and people started paying attention to it. I've found that it's best to just take it chill and do the things you love doing, because we only get so much time on Planet Earth, so we may as well spend it doing the things we love every day. Life's too short, and we should just take that leap forward, even if it is scary and intimidating. My mum would always tell me, "If you want the boulder on the mountain top to move, you gotta give it that push, otherwise, if you don't, it'll just sit there, and nothing will happen". It definitely made me think about things a lot more, and that I need to constantly challenge myself, even if it is scary. I'm also starting to sing backing vocals in my band, which I never would have thought of doing when I first joined, but I'm glad I'm doing it. It's so much fun and I really feel like I can just chill and not stress so much. It's never good to stress about the small things like that. Those are my current thoughts, hahaha! Sorry if it was a lot but I felt like I had a bit to say, so I did! 😅😁

Some of my favorite recordings are ones I was ambivalent about when I started, but in the process of finishing them came up with a really interesting idea. Some of my least favorite recordings are songs I really loved before I sat down to record them, only to discover when I finished it that there was something fundamentally missing from the beginning. Finishing is a very important skill.

Starting a new song is like reliving your youth: it's exciting and there is so much potential. You have no idea where you will go. Finishing a song is like growing old: everything hurts.

I like the contrast between the flat third and the sharp 4. It produces a dual mode effect like that of Phrygian dominant

👏

Very Opeth 🤘 I'm a self taught guitar novice and when I write anything, I'm striving for that type of sound 👍

Sad but true: Melancholy is profound, and necessary for occasionally drawing attention to the unavoidable tragedies of life, wherein we find inspiration for the deepest music, poetry and literature. Hungarian scale may be, in music, parallel to Shakespearean tragedy.

i dug it, vegas rainbow six fives

Cool! Sounds really scary

Interesting and creative video. Keep it up! 👍🏼

Proud Hungarian right here. Nothing in the whole world makes me weep like traditional Hungarian folk music. NOTHING.

I wanted to hear the scale. Waited too long. Left the vid behind. PLAY THE SCALE.

More on the psychedelic/ occult rock spectrum but here is a very under the radar super weird Finnish band that sets quite a vibe: ua-cam.com/video/YlmqgsXegGM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SamiS%C3%A4np%C3%A4kkil%C3%A4
