    In this video, I’m going to teach all cool chord voicings we can find on the album ‘’The Raven That Refused To Sing’’ by Steven Wilson, one of my favorite albums ever!
    You need a 12-string acoustic guitar, or a high-strung, Nashville tuning style acoustic guitar for a few songs (or else, they won’t make sense on standard tuning!).
    This album truly has magnificent chords, and is using chords from the parallel Major a lot (as Steven Wilson always do!). I will explain everything in the video.

    Nice chord structures there. You have a good voice too. You could also try ambient vocals with the guitar sometime.

    I got into Porcupine Tree about 10 years ago after I heard the epic 'Anaesthatise'. I saw Steven Wilson live 4 years ago. He really is a genius! I got into his solo work around the time he released 'hand cannot erase' album. I haven't heard so much of this album but you've made me want to explore it more in depth. Though I cannot pretend to know what you're talking about throughout this entire video (my guitar level is intermediate and my main instrument is drums) but clearly some of these chords are rather unusual yet very beautiful and moving all the same. I'm hoping to see Porcupine tree live soon.

      @@AntoineMichaudGuitar I shall try my best to. By the way - when he performed, Ninet Tayeb joined him for 'Routine', 'Blank tapes' and 'Pariah'. She is also AMAZING! Her voice often sounds a bit husky and bluesy but she has a lot of power at other times too. Notably at the end of 'Routine' it's neither a primal scream or a cry that she does but something in between. I have never heard anything quite like it. Her solo track 'self destructive mind' is worth a listen (if you've not heard it). As well as her performance with 'red band' doing an outstanding rendition of 'I put a spell on you'.

      Thanks! Yes, I've seen Steven Wilson live at least 5 times, once with Ninet, just never with Porcupine Tree. She is a unique and brilliant singer, indeed!

      @@AntoineMichaudGuitar That's cool! 😎 Interestingly I figured out how to play 'Never Have' from their latest album earlier. One of the easier songs on there I reckon. It seems to be mainly just 4 chords. Simple but very effective. Hope you can break down some Porcupine Tree tracks in a future video. Best wishes.

    This is great! I've been struggling with never being able to leave the key, but last year I'm better at playing chords that aren't necessarily in the same key, but they still work well together. This was a great analysis of a great album and there are good tips in here. Thanks!

    Leçon vidéo très intéressante ! 👍 Merci Antoine. 🙏
    @06:11 : « mouvement slide » autour de la tierce utilisée comme note pivot. 😉
    💡: Mélange cela à du « median chromatique » (mêmes formes d’accords jouées 2 tons plus haut (ou plus bas) et avec le son de guitare qui va bien 🎛, ça fera de la magnifique musique de film de SF 🎬👽🛸(concept néo-riemannien, façon Hans Zimmer, à la Interstellar ou même Avatar).
    Essaye par exemple (root A jouée en 5e case de la corde E grave) : Am11-AbM7-Am7-AbM13, puis 2 tons plus haut, C#m11-CM7-C#m7-CM13, avec ainsi une jolie progression chromatique de 7 1/2tons sur la corde B, allant de la note D (3e case) à la note A (10e case). 🤩🎸🎵

    Are these chords Stephen's work or Guthrie Govan's? I know Guthrie played much of the guitar work on the album

      He played the lead guitar, but I don't believe he wrote anything aside from the solos.

  • @jollyca
    @jollyca Рік тому +1

    I saw an interview with Steven Wilson a while ago in which he admitted he has very little knowledge of music theory. He just plays the shapes on the guitar and his bandmates figure out the key that the song was supposed to be in.

    The crazy part about all of this is that Steven Doesn't really know any theory or even what the chords are that he is playing at all.

    • @AntoineMichaudGuitar
      @AntoineMichaudGuitar  Рік тому +14

      He knows more than you think! I've watched interviews when he was recording the latest Porcupine Tree album, and he was very aware of his use of Maj7 and min7 chords and how they were carefully chosen. Maybe he doesn't care too much about theory, but he's not entirely oblivious either!

      @electricwhiterabbit Рік тому

      @@AntoineMichaudGuitar I watched those as well. I guess I shouldn't have said he doesn't know any theory at all. I think he knows some basic theory and chords, but many of the chords he does play, he doesn't know what they are and Adam Holzeman for example will tell him what the chord is. He writes totally by ear.
