A single video like this is seriously more valuable than many of the music classes in undergrad.
Classically trained here. Never heard these scales in theory classes. Played some of them in context of the piano pieces I learned, but these scales speak to me in altogether new ways.
This is actually one of the most common interval sets in middle Eastern maqam. It's called Hijazkar/Hicazkar. You can find lots of great instrumental compositions, improvisations (taksim), and songs in this maqam in Turkish and Arabic traditions.
Nice work. The derived modes sound amazing in your compositions.
In Hindustani music this would be Raag Bhairav.
My father, who was a professional bouzouki player who learned his craft in the port bars of Greece from the old time rembetiko masters, taught me this scale 50 years ago when I was a kid. I wish I had learned more from him when I had the chance.
I wonder if that’s what Dimash uses with his melismas in Story Of One Sky and Stranger (among others). They always sound very oriental to me.
No idea about music theory. But maybe someone knows…😅
Can you tell us the name of the turkish or arabic musician found this you call maqam ?? go learn and then speak, information is one thing and knowledge is another !
Also Byzantine Music. Echos Plagios B.
I've really missed these types of videos. Loving this!
I've missed them as well.
@@kierenmoore3236So are recorded tracks and artist interviews. The interesting part is what is being done with them.
Same here
I miss these, Rick. Brings me back to the beginning of my time watching.
Exactly what I was thinking. Although I love what the channel has grown into, I do miss all the theory content.
was thinking the same thing.
It's all fun and games with the flats until you're on your tricycle with triple flats and no spare phyrygian inner tubes.
Lmao 🤦♂️
Every Phrygian time
That’s sooooo bad! 👍
😂😂
Lol 😂
And this is why Rick's one of the best music channel ever....
two of the best music channels. This is the 2nd channel 😋
Dick Dale's cover of "Misirlou" (Surfer's Choice, 1975) is probably the most recognized song of the Double Harmonic Major. Misirlou is an old-time Greek Rebetiko style song popularized in the early 20th century, it origins are debated about in the reaches of the Eastern Mediterranean. It is actually a slow and sultry lover's lament. Modern day Greek Vocalist "Glykeria" performs a wonderful example of "Misirlou", You Tube videos with the Greek lyrics and English transliteration are worth your time if you would care to listen..
If anyone is wondering what "Misirlou" is about, its about a forbidden romance between a Greek man (singing) and an Egyptian woman ("Misirlou" means "Egyptian girl") who the song is about.
@@swissarmyknight4306 Yeah, he was "Love Struck, Baby!" Poor fella...
Thatks for the heads up. I love that song and it's relly cool having a historic rabit hole to dive down now.
Appreciate ya, hommie.
I think that song is fascinating in that it created an entirely new sound by playing a known tune in a totally different style.
Just listened to Glykeria performing a slow and mesmerizing version of the song.
Much better than the upbeat surf version if you ask me.
Perfect for a slow heavy grinding unsettling metal version with lots of eastern mediterranian/middle eastern flavour.
In Hindustani music this structure is called Raag Bhairav.
Ricky, baby… please keep teaching. Music needs you, we need you!
@BonySopraneaux His name is ^*Rick, not Ricky. Sit down.🤡🤡🤷♂️🤦♂️💩🙄
Fantastic lesson. For those interested in the mystical aspect of music it could be added that the double harmonic is a palindromic scale with same pattern of intervals ascending and descending. Rick had covered this in another wonderful lesson.
You should really consider doing soundtrack music for film! If I can win three Emmys, you can certainly win three Oscars!
Listening to the composition, that's exactly what I was thinking. It sounds like a score for a movie.
Me 3
Dude's recording Smithsonian worth interviews with legendary musicians, I think he'll be fine without an "Emmy".
Well, in spite of the silliness taking place in LaLa Land, I'm betting that Mr. Beato would still appreciate a Grammy or three. The fellow indicated that since he was capable of winning Emmys that RB is worthy of Grammys. It's a fair compliment.
I've been assuming he already does film score work.
I wish you went over the chords each scale could make. The flat 2 mode having access to both the major and minor third is trippy to me and I would love for you to revisit the topic and point out other details like that
Technically speaking the b4 of Ultraphrygian is only a major third in 12-tone equal temperament; in all other tunings that support diatonic scales it would be indeed a distinct diminished fourth that cannot be used as a 5/4.
Instead, one should probably treat it like a 9/7 or 13/10 or even some higher-limit interval (34/27, 24/19). I would find that to be even more interesting!
A piece co-written by Beato and Nahre Sol! Wonderful!
Why am I hearing Keith Emerson all over this? This is unbelievably beautiful. Otherworldly. Never heard of Nahre Sol before, but I will be doing a deep dive into her music after hearing this.
She’s got a great channel herself. Excellent pianist.
I thought the same, re: Keith Emerson. At other moments, it sounded like Schoenberg.
@@vze2gsgr I don’t hear Emerson myself. Have any examples of Keith’s work that exemplifies the similarity to this composition?
Really like the G Ultraphrygian starting at 5:00, love those runs. The interchange of the dynamics, playing off each other, that was cool.
Never thought I’d see the Locrian double flat 3 double flat 7….anywhere. One of my favorite ultra-obscure scales.
Could you please post the composition alone in a video? It's beautiful!
THIS is the rick beato I’ve missed!
I love Rick's interviews but this is the stuff I started following him for.
Really good stuff here! Missed this kind of "early-Rick" videos but is nice to have a new one. Beautiful composition with Nahre Sol.
Glad to see or hear a collaboration between two of my favorite music channels on YT since many years.
Bravo, beautifully rendered and exquisitely played! These kinds of fully fleshed examples are wonderful because they're much more illustrative of the 'world' of a particular scale than, say, simply noodling over a tonic drone. The melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic variety gives a great sense of the breadth of possibilities. Cheers!
Videos with this type of information are among my favorite of what you do
I love using the double harmonic major starting on D. Makes this really easy-to-visualise pattern on the keyboard.
Love this video!! Love how you mentioned to modulate keys so you here the modes for the intervals they don't share. I was just trying to explain that to my brother in law as a student of guitar when teaching him the standard modes.
Great video! Thank you for covering these! They seldom get taught, but SHOULD be. These are beautful!
This is a beautiful piece that acts as an inspiration and a great resource with the transparency of the accompanying information. Next level stuff. You are at the cutting edge Rick Beato! What a legend.
Dear Mr. Rick Beato, this is one of my favourite lessons you've ever did. Thank you for discovering me this amazing new sonic palet and congratulations to Nahre Sol and to you for this great modal compositions you've done based on this scale combined with the beauty of the images.
I love using this scale. I like how you bring out the modal flavours,rather than repeating the patterns.
Glad to see these videos and your compositions again!
Not just informative, but absolutely beautiful music. Thank you!
One of my favourite scales! So rich in dissonances❤
My ears really appreciate these tonal areas - thank you Rick!!!
I love these kinds of videos. Thank you Rick for sharing your knowledge.
Amazing vid, great piece. Thank you Rick and Nahre!
That's fantastic harmonies out there. Such a great compositions! Thank you for explanations Rick. Really appreciated!
This video and the Satriani /Vai interview are my absolute favorites that you've done. Love this video! And love the composition...WOW 🤯
Such a magnificent composition & demonstration of applying the scale, wow 🙏✨ I'm inspired to explore!
This piece was great. And doing it to demo all these semi-uncommon modes is a fantastic concept.
I did not know this double harmonic major scale and related modes. Your introduction to that was really cool. The "examples" at the end (your own compositions I guess) sound good!!! We love you Rick!!!Greetings from Italy.
Much needed refresher, thanks Rick
Loved this Rick, great sounding scale, and great composition, very emotive!
I love this stuff -thanks, and keep it coming!
Rick did a great video on this about six years ago. Good to have another!
This was very enjoyable to watch and listen!
Very informative!
Kudos Rick...!!!👍
This is my favourite video. Love these modes. Love the composition at the end.
Thank you for sharing, always appreciate your teaching videos 🙏🏼
Totally wonderful: composition, playing, and video!
Loved the arrangements and changes in tempo to highlight the scales and its many modes.
I am about to learn something new despite playing guitar for 30+ years! 🎸😃👍
I ❤this channel. Thank you Mr. Beato for sharing your musical knowledge and wisdom .
Incredible composition, stunning performance, and gorgeous video! Nahre Sol is an amazing virtuoso. The many faces of these modes are well illustrated too. This should be on your main channel also, real art. Thank you.
Man, that piece just steadily ratchets up the tension and never relents. Very unsettling! Nicely done, Rick. It’s amazing how changing the math behind the notes can result in such dramatic mood shifts
That was AWESOME! I love the tonalities of the different modes and can't wait to write with them.
I appreciate especially these videos Rick. Great material
I have always loved the Hungarian minor. I have never thought of it as a mode of another scale so this was a treat! Such beautiful sounds. Mystery is deff the right description. Keep em' coming Rick. Love the channel!
Great class, thank you! That's a lot of material to study and experiment.
The variety that you can get out of these scales are amazing.
Truly spectacular music. Thank you, Rick.
Brilliant my man. I was searching the Internet for references to this scale a few weeks ago and I struggled to find anything...
Such a beautiful scale with so much potential and mystery.
I've been trying to incorporate it into Jams with my band using Indian instruments and percussion
Awesome Rick - thank you- I will use this!
This was very inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you, RIck and Nahre!
Great video pacing. Short, succinct, without too much background information.
This was excellent. Please more like this. I know it was fun as hell to compose that too
A really useful and inspiring video Rick! Thank you.
I'm inspired. Thank you for this, Rick. I'm now going to go write songs in each of these wonderful, mysterious modes.
Gorgeous sound!
I love that you had @NahreSol as a collaborator on this! Super cool 👍😁
This is so insanely cool! Thank you!
I remember an older RB video on the DHM scale and it blew the doors open to my creativity. Wrote a song based on it. Hungarian minor is basically on my "must use" list when writing solos. From then, I've basically started to look into all the other parent scales (and their modes) and, man, what an complete shift in how I approach song writing. I will always be grateful to Rick for this.
Thank you for revealing the secrets of the universe one mode at a time. Forever in your debt❤. Beautiful composition man.
In college we called the first scale with the two augmented 2nd intervals a "gypsy minor".
That's what the Django Reinhardt-style guitarist John Jorgenson called it, too.
Thanks for getting back to teaching!
Thank you,
So Nahre was involved too, didn't realize it before getting to the second half
Nice video. A great well of moods and sentiments, possible to use in arrangements and compositions. Thanks!
Love the unsolved mysteries thumbnail!! Great lesson as always, Rick
I'm so glad I found this video. I love unique and odd scales, and as a guitar player I want to incorporate more of the unusual to try and come up with new stuff.... buuuuut knowing of these odd things is the problem. Thank you for doing these types of videos!!! I'm not sure how I would've found out about these and learned they were all connected to the one scale/mode.
Very nice composition you pulled of as usual Rick!
Sounds good. Good work!
Man, oh Man, this is fantastic. Thank you.
A great enjoyable way to expand musical hearing, explore sounds.
Be really cool to see a score for the composition. Awesome video, Rick.
Love this kind of videos!
Wonderful ! Thank you so much !
Rick, I like when you demonstrate the triads and the 7 chords tied in each note of the scale.
Also, as has already been said, Miserlou.
the examples are crazy good
Love it. Great inspiration to do ominous intros. Much appreciated, Alex in Stockholm.
Very nice! I loved that piece at the end!
very cool Rick i hope to see more videos like this
Beautiful piece of work, I going to have a blast transcribing this with the gd ole 7string. I let u in once I git it where I’m happy with it myself, so u never see it ever! lol. Thanks brother. This is better thought teaching then anything I seen before.
That sequence of modes is that perfect representation of why equal temperment is a tricky subject to get around to. It took me literally years to figure it out. Originating from Greece and having two ways of listening music the western way (equal temperment) and the influence coming from the 72 equal temperament used in byzantine music
Rick, please compose more
Darn, Rick this is cool and very informal. One can understand how a composer makes this sort of music when you also understand the modal structures
Interesting - also known as the "psychological thriller" scale. 😉
Thank you Rick 🎹😎👍
Very nicely played by Nahre Sol.
Great stuff, man. Great stuff.
So outside of my wheelhouse, but damn... Sounds amazing!
I always really enjoyed what I believe is called the Byzantine scale- I really like how it's kind of a mirror image of itself going up to the octave and how a lot of the shapes look because of that symmetry. I use it all the time- my favorite "exotic" scale
