Awesome lesson. One thing I've always learned is not to overplay in this genre otherwise it can become a jumbled mess and you have to have the discipline to let the time signature and other instruments breathe especially as a guitar player and keep in mind it isn't always intricate busy parts that's needed. If you listen to most of the great prog players like Alex Lifeson, John Petrucci,Steve Hackett and many others they really understand that. If you need to play just one power chord for 16 measures then do it, if the song doesn't need a solo don't play one. This is a sign of being an excellent musician in my opinion understanding your place in the music and understanding you are PART of the music not THE music.
Awesome post ! My all-time Fav prog was "Happy the Man" in particular: HAPPY THE MAN - Crafty Hands Album - in particular - the song: 'Service with a Smile'. I used to catch them at the 'Cellar Door' in Washington DC.
Great lesson mate. The Change to 7/8 was a nice example but i don't think it helped the riff enough to justify the change. You did show the feel change and that's most important to help someone understand in real life. I r l.
Truly interesting stuff...quite a lot to digest and a springboard for a endless experimentation. Thanks man, your lessons are ace, always a lot ro learn, i wish i didn't have anything else to do but just learn the guitar! 👽🤘
Now that was an excellent tutorial. Another great prog scale is the Neapolitan minor scale by the way. It helps though to think of it as Phrygian harmonic
@19:17 you got that G chord shape with the fret number on V, That makes it a A13 with an F# instead of E. I think that's an editing mistake!!! THANKS FOR THE LESSONS!!!!!
Awesome lesson!! Can talk about the tones for rock/metal prog? it's important for this style of music and it's little bit complcated when you're beginner or intermediate!
With great knowledge comes great responsibility! Fantastic and informative video that will hopefully inspire musicians to push their boundaries! Cheers from one prog fan to another!
... great vid ... this is the kind if content which I do really like ... great topic very good explained and with nice and musically recorded examples ... :)
Now we just need the How to create Jazz Fusion video and we’ll have it all. 🙂
VOTED !!! 🎸

I just listened to the song. What a great song that is!
I Love prog rock and metal ! I'm here ! Excited to learn more as a big prog fan :)
This video is amazing. Content to the max, excellent examples, great production.. Thanks!
Very well explained! Thanks for sharing ad helping the budding artists understand the depths of prog music 🙌👍
Seriously, this video is PACKED with great stuff... Absolutely great Rob! Thanks.
That’s a years worth of study in a 30m video! Bravo!
best teacher in youtube! when your first prog metal album :D 🤘 your examples are awesome!
Love love love your channel. Always learn so much and it's always in the wheelhouse of what interests me most
Surprised no one said anything about that ‘jazz chord progression’ being the same changes seen in Selenium Forest by Plini
Well noticed!
While it is a common progression it is indeed the progression Plini uses apart from the Am(add9). He uses a Am7... I think...
Absolutely brilliant lesson, Rob. Listen out for the new Dream Crimson album soon!
I will listen to that Tony!
FANTASTIC lesson. Thank you.
This channel is a gem
Learnt so much from you.
I adore the light in this video.
Fantastic video! I have been a prog rock fan for most of my life and you have finally revealed its secrets
This is a mine of gold, so much information! Three billion thank yous :) :)

Another masterpiece..
Would love to get your take on looping.

WOW is this a video response to my request of a Dream Theater style lesson earlier during the year? THANKS ROB!
i highly suggest Stephen Taranto for prog metal and also the group called The Helix Nebula
Incredible player. His alternate picking is top notch in the guitar sphere
Best channel on UA-cam!!! Way to go
Laney cab like Guthrie Govan ! Oh yeah ! 😊
