  • Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Brewster's Millions Of Rants with The Metal & Classical Connection. I've had the basic idea for this rant-lesson on the backburner for a while and I'm happy to finally create this one and share it with viewers out there - so let's dive in!
    There's no question that classical music has had a direct and longstanding influence on hard rock and metal musicians for a long time, and for guitarists, it seems that neoclassical rock & metal techniques, tonalities, and sounds are what most metal guitarists in the modern age reach for and use in their music. With that in mind, this episode draws the direct link and connection that exists between metal musicians and classical music.
    After the opening rant, this episode eventually turns into a lesson, and we're hitting four "moshing" excerpts from four legendary classical composers - including Beethoven, Mozart, Paganini, and Bach. The sections of music we're hitting here includes a Drop-D version of Beethoven's Symphony No.5, a shred-approved version of Mozart's Symphony No.25, the main theme for Paganini's Caprice No.24, and the opening section of Bach's horrifically epic Toccata & Fugue In D Minor.
    Needless to say, if you're interested in learning more about the connections that exists between metal and classical music, a player wanting to add some famous classical themes to their practice routine, a viewer enjoying this years "Metal Month" on the LNL channel, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this rant-lesson is totally for you! Give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!

    A few decades ago, that Paganini caprice was used as the theme tune of a TV show, here in the UK, called The South Bank Show. It was a weekly contemporary arts magazine show, usually shown on a Sunday. The version they used was played on cello by Julian Lloyd-Webber (Andrew's younger brother).

    More Uli Roth lessons would be really nice. I prefer the way Santana & other San Fran 60's bands used harmonic minor compared to classical composers or Blackmore & Yngwie neo classical. Santana uses harmonic minor more musical like vocal melodies instead of using it to sound eerie and angular from the augmented 2nd interval makes your ear bend which Santana knows how to use harmonic minor. I think Santana often will add both the b7+M7 which is unusual to use both the b7 & M7 with a minor scale. It something to research and look into his playing to make a lesson about Santana way of using the harmonic minor scale.

      @@greg77hot Oh please. Ritchie Pentatonic Blackmore is not nor ever was a neoclassical guitarist.
      Jon Lord composed a piece which the London Philharmonic recorded. Because of that, IDIOTS think Pentatonic Richtie was neoclassical.
      Another myth: Randy Rhoads. Another pentatonic guitarist.
      Randy's mom had a crappy camp fire chords school. Even Randy's siblings said he had no classical training.
      Uli Jon Roth was an acid rock Hendrix wannabie.
      Yngwie Malmsteen invented neoclassical rock. He is the first to bring in countrapundal to compositions. It is not even about his shredding.
      For sure, never there be a shortage of idiots on the Internet.
      Good luck!

      Listen to Uli Jon Roth on _Sails of Charon_ from 1977. Yngwie was 14 at the time and did have a band, but it was 1982 when he was "discovered" by Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records. I still like Yngwie and always will, but Ritchie Blackmore, and definitely Uli Roth were shredding classical on record in the early 70's when Yngwie was still a child.
