    WOAH sitting here with the acoustic exploring that alien Neapolitan idea, so I wanted to cheat and do B minor and drone the G and high E and just fret the D string up at the octave. SO, start on D (IV-7 ish), down to C#(dim), to C(the Nea) and B (IV) = Genesis riff, yay!!!!!(arpeggio finger-pick )

    Great vid, insightful stuff. But yes, would be nice to not only be given the fish, but the fishing pole (underlying methodology of how you arrived there (for example the melodic minor primary chords)). Then again, I have a strong feeling I"m missing a very fundamental part of guitar and have a big blind spot that most people take for granted when it comes to minor scales and chords. Do you have any existing videos that cover how to arrive at the melodic minor primary chords? I'll probably chew on this video for a while and maybe I can derive it myself, but any shortcuts are appreciated. Cheers from Spain.

    This was very educational and too many funny one liners in this to count but they're all funny. By the way, I always thought iio was an important chord for the neo classical sound? As a cadence to the major 5 and back to the tonic. Or maybe it isn't as important as I was made to believe.

    SHRED, can you give more examples of using Chromatic Mediants
    and Neapolitan Chord? the more examples the easier to learn from
    Neapolitan chord is one half step up/minor 2nd from the Root chord?
    Choromatic Mediants is triad chords that are a minor 3rd apart from the next triad chord in the progression?
    Also can you make a video showing all the chords yngwie malmsteen uses on his NYLON acoustic guitar songs because he uses diminished chords and bach slash chords only when he plays his NYLON acoustic guitar.

    What effect is being used at the 4:00 min mark to add that higher octave ringing? octaver? shimmer-verb? fancy plug-in? edit: I've watched this vid a bunch of times to pound this stuff into my thick skull and you start to notice details after so much repetition, and I noticed a nice selection of effects is always on the example pieces, even if it is just reverb.

    I am confused: the neapolitan chord in Em is supposed to be the subdominant which is Am with a minor 6th instead of the 5th. This is basically a F major chord. Now you take the 5th in the bass to get F/E. Isn' t the neapolitan chord supposed to be without the 5th???

    • @ShredmasterScott
      @ShredmasterScott  4 роки тому

      In a minor key the neapolitan is built a half step up from the root (E) so that's F. Typically it's in first inversion, although that's not what I did. You could also call what I did a bII chord.
