Some day. Years in the future. I am going to die. And when I walk through the gates of hell this man is going to be standing there doing that laugh, telling me I got sent to hell for following his advice and using a tritone.
it's worth it bro...
Hidden gem of the guitar UA-cam community
The secret to composing is to imagine a good song in your head, and then write it down.
Isn't that easy when you imagine something like Steve Vai + Meshuggah + Steven Wilson thing
@@Cestariarts The second secret to composing is to imagine a good song, but one that isn't hard to write down, and then write it down.
"This song goes dunaduduuuduu- bowwawaananan dada dadada"
Yeah
The worst part is when you have experience playing music and you have melodies in your head- but you have no idea how to actually transpose the notes in your head into the notes on the instrument. That's the barrier I keep butting up against.
Sleep paralysis but its shredmaster scott just laughing in the corner of the room
just wait till I haunt your dreams

You should make a solo album man! I think that would be sick!
Agreed. Awesome music writer.
The "Yngwie example" sounds better than anything that Yngwie ever wrote 👌🏼✨
Schoenberg is the metallest😈. Shostakovitch's string qrt's are pretty metal.
That camera shaking when you hit the disonate notes was killer
Man you are the first youtuber I am seriously considering becoming a patron, you kick ass dude
Greatest channel I've discovered in music. No lie.
Man, your films are getting better and better. I'm starting to learn so many helpful tips because of you. Thanks :D
Dude, your videos are getting better and better. Not just the content (which is extremely relevant and needed), but the editing and humor are going to keep people watching.
I'm betting your sub count is going to explode soon.
Hey man, felt like saying that your videos are a big inspiration for me to keep learning the guitar. You know your shit and are hilarious. Keep shredding :)
Ian S. Bad ass, let’s keep crushing it brother
Bookmarked this for whenever I get stuck with writing. This helped me write some nasty riffs I wouldn't have made on my own. From the bowels of my intestines, thank you!
Thank you so much for addressing the transitions between sections that seems to be one of the most neglected aspects in a lot of the stuff I've been watching and it's something that I really struggle with so, thank you!
Man I gotta say, I really like you approach to this guitar shred thing. I have hundreds of hours practicing technique and going nowhere. I'm gonna use this to get inspired and finally do something creative. Thanks for all the inspiration
"They didn't practice Sweep picking for 10hrs/day, they practiced composing for 10hrs/day" (Shred [Master Scott])
I love you.
I had this fucking problem for the first 3 years of my playing that I was centered around inventing new techniques, the emissions I wrote from grueling time and inspiration lasted maybe a month before I wiped them off my cock.
Just a year ago I decided to care a LOT less about inventing techniques and I have a full song from that period that I still enjoy playing almost daily, and only 2 weeks ago I wrote a song (with newly learned singing) that I might keep till I'm in my 40s
Ali Jr. that’s excellent brother 🤘
@@ShredmasterScott thanks for your quitting guitar vid as well. I'm gonna try some keys.
Still baffled you don't have more subscribers, I hope you hit that snowball soon. You are more than deserving good sir!
@Dougie Drums hell yea, let's get'm up over 100k 🤙
we'll get there brother
I'm a new subscriber .. I'm 41 years of age .. got a degree in music 20 years ago and been teaching guitar since then also piano for 5 or 6 years .. a huge metal fan and love to compose as well.
I just found you and love this channel. Love it. Really. Thanks for all this stuff and the value you provide..
My recommended composational techniques are to shred high notes through a 32" subwoofer, and also chugging drop-D riffs through a tweeter.
One of your best ever vids Shred. Really inspiring. Cheers from the UK🤘🖑
You know your stuff shred, recently subscribed, love the channel content, its actually useful unlike a lot of other things I watch, Im guilty of practicing techniques for too long so this made total sense, you should release a full step by step theory course covering everything, as you seem to know it all and I'm sure there's plenty of us that would be interested.
Nice, I really liked the piece at the end. All of this video was great advice. Thanks man for sharing your knowledge, you really make it digestible.
Your videos have given me SO many ideas for composing, I'm wanting to upload some of the counterpoint ideas I put in practice from your videos.
WooooW !!!! That was a useful lesson! Thanks man!!!
Very helpful lesson thanks Shred
I love how much you incorporate music theory into shredding and how approachable you make the topic!
I would love to see a similar video to this one but focused on improvisation over chords and your approaches to it.
Especially interested in how you chose to use "triads", "arpeggios" and scales, also how do you choose your leading notes and last notes when going from one chord to another.
Love your content and your energy! keep it up! you are awesome!
New subscriber.
You’re a great teacher.
Thank you fir the content!
Best channel on UA-cam! Shred is a beast!
That neoclassical lick outlining the chords reminding me of the intro section of "Cthulhu Dawn" by none other than that filthy cradle lol Cradle of Filth, love that sound. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥 hey Shred, im a new Patreon btw muahahaha 👹
Thank you!!!!! Very helpful. Your content is always killer!!!!
That part at the end is literally the most Progressive Metal jammed into a single minute I've ever heard.
Well done!
Thanks, Scott! I love your "quickly composed" song at the end, too!!!!!
Amazing as always
Very helpful! Thanks.
You need more subscribers!!!! Underrated guitarist!!!
Thanks for the lesson. This is what i needed. Ive seen shredders on vids playing all tons of crazy (yet boring) guitar parts. But when I compose myself, its just simple and melodic. But I want some techniques in between. To make a nice flavour. Thanks for your realistic attitude, which 90% of other guitarist can wrap our head around. Thanks! :D
Appreciate your vids brother mane.
You’re like a metal Adam Neely
he's smarter than me but I'll take it
adam neely is really boring tho and he just goes on and on. Shred actually teaches throughout the whole video. Shred is much better.
Love this content dude
Nope, Bach is the most metal composer. Paganini was a shred-god.
amen
See I have always been a Wagner guy, but one look at my handle and who would be surprised
@@OldManDoom been thinking of how I can do a "Tristan Chord" video
Where does Liszt factor in this comparison?
Good stuff man. I didn't quite understand all of it, but good stuff none the less. Thanks! Nice guitar by the way.
This really resonates with me dude really agree about the technique/concept limitation to build something around. Also your track at the end sounds very One Winged Angel/Final Fantasy in general good stuff
Pog Champ appreciate you brother 🤘
Awesome, thanks 🙏🏾
Your guitar style is awesome, I love your composition
Perfect tips. Starting from our own sound or a target soung help us to get focused and realise.
My goooooodness that jam was absolutely killer 🤘
This really gave me a lot of ideas for writing new music thanks 🤘
Thank you! I'd love to see if more composition videos.
You're the man I'm always watching your videos haha :)
excellent video. your very knowledgable and talenyed my friend
Ufff all the information you share is great!
I remember trying one of these and I really liked the results, it was awesome
You should do a whole course on composing techniques
That G dorian riff with the descending chromatic transition with the hesitation on the last two notes was the kicker that made me immediately throw money at you. Never heard anything like that.
thanks brother, G dorian is always a good time
SHREDMASTER SCOTT WHY R U CALLED SHRED NOW
ITS NOT THE FUKIN SAME
Yes exactly!!
This video just blew my mind.. better stop sweeping 🧹
very knowledgable and funny as usual. gold
Another excellent video Brother
transition material is crazy important, do you by any chance like Opeth?
Tis what i struggle the most with
Found your channel super recently. You remind me a lot of my music theory teacher from high school. Sub’d and binging videos.
dude!! awesome
2:44 i remember i watched this video over a decade ago....still waiting for them keys
awesome video man . alot of these techniques i actually use while composing , but awesome , i feel like iv'e learned a thing or 2 :)
How come this guy only got 50k followers??? 🤯 this is amazing work right here! 👍🏼🤘🏼
satan bless you brother 🙏
Great video
Holy shit, I cannot unhear Symphony X on that final composition. Awesome as hell.
Love SX
Ive been play guitar for 12 year steve via and Guthrie Govan Vernon Reid and Jeff skunk Baxter we're all my guitar teachers I went to a guitar Academy in Saratoga Springs known as via Academy number one you sure describing concept that great guitar heros describe to me all those years ago when I was 17 year old. thank you for reminding me of everything I love about guitar and music this was a masterpiece and you deserve recognition. Its was inspiring to see an artist plays instrument you're talented !
you are awesome dude
Great content and song 🤘🔥😬🔥👍
The music at the end reminds of Mayan, especially the tritone chords
Shred! My favorite composers are Prokofiev, Wagner, and Vivaldi.
thats what i needed
Awesome lesson like always Master !!! I think a good video lesson that could be really useful for all of us would be on how to setup the metronome for recording, in my head I was counting on your final composition a 4/4 maybe around 70 BPM? But you played fast and slow, that was very nice, could be helpful for when we start recording the bass a backup guitars. Thanks Scott for the great lessons, have a wonderful day Brother.
Dorian is my absolute favor mode to write in. Im also glad you mentioned rhythm. As a guitarist, its easy to focus too much on harmony and melody and not enough on interesting rhythms
I'd love to see a whole video breaking down just one of these techniques.
Hod bless the shred master for shining his light on us mortals
I posted a bunch of shit I thought would be helpful but then I watched the rest of the video and you got them so shiet. Nice one.
awesome video man! i discovered your channel yesterday and im glad i did, u put out awesome content! btw, ive noticed that quartal harmonies are also common in japanese piano songs, like the soundtrack to Spirited Away
spirited away has a ton of that shit
Favorite composer would be Arvo Pärt.
You're addressing some really interesting and much needed concerns. I recently came across your channel, caught myself coming back.
You just got yourself another subscriber.
I appreciate what your doing.
J. Thornton cheers brother 🤘
Great fucking video!! Inspired right off the bat!!
I'm at 2:02 in the video. Decided to pick up my acoustic to follow along. Realized that it's tuned in DADADD because I'd been trying to make it sound like a sitar. Since I had two octaves of power chords to pedal on in the bottom 4 strings, I thought I'll let my ears and feelings do the decision making and started playing a random scale on the high D strings. Came up with a tune that seemed to be on the D F F# G A B C# D scale, which felt oddly celebratory. Turns out I just reinvented what they call the Shoolini scale here in South India in the carnatic classical music tradition. Thanks to your video I already feel inspired to noddle more! Now I need to watch the rest of the video 😁
Edit: In hindsight nothing you said in the video had anything to do with what I just noodled. But hey, inspiration can come from ANYWHERE 😁
that's awesome brother, great scale. Inspiration seems to blindside us from oblique directions sometimes...🤷♂️
Loved the phrase about composers back then. The concept about training for creating music is amazing, IMHO. I myself always loved music, but couldn't quite get familiarized with an instrument for several reasons. But I never gave up, because I had a feeling musicality can be expressed in many ways. You can feel musicality by ear or playing something. Nevertheless, not only feel, but you can always think about musicality and analyze stuff with the proper mindset to create new stuff, just like philosophy.
Great exemples, great video and great song!
Cheers \,,/
Great summary of very useful techniques for composing, O´Diabolical Master.
Here´s a curveball: Blending metal with folk,- here in Europe it´s been a style for the past twenty years,- Celtic metal from Swiss Eluveitie (listen to Rebirth and Thousandfold for examples), Balkan metal in odd meters( based on the meters of their traditional folk songs: Balkan Gypsy etc- Jinjer-Pisces and Teacher Teacher are good.places to start), Viking metal with the melodic riffing from the likes of Tyr ( Faroe Islands) and Kati Ran - Suurin (Dutch/Norwegian/ Finnish,- as Metal as it gets and not a distorted guitar in sight!).
The question becomes: Song structures: II-V-I, I-V-VI-IV, I-IV-V,- how to use standard structues for melodic metal writing blended with the characteristics of, say, US Folk music,- ie Bluegrass Metal? Country Metal? Blues Metal?,- or are they already covered through Southern Rock and Dark Country?
And finally: How to make all of that diabolical?
( Love living in the van btw.- miss the wife though...)
Steve via. Haha! I don't know. Mozart has always been my favorite.
Wow, it sounds like some epic shit like Final Fantasy final boss theme, awesome!
The shred master has answered our prayers
William Walsh 🤘
You blow my mind BRO! I just keep getting more and more confused lolz,!
Damn your a genius and you know alot
Best account on youtube
I’m from Morocco aaand. I love youuuuuuu
I love what you do and how you do it and you're a very great teacher. You freaking shred man! But I'm gonna do it my style, with my own rules. I have basic knowledge of theory, nice amount of practice so I'm not thinking about all that mumbo jumbo stuff, I'm just feeling it. Yeaah...Maybe I'm just using it as an excuse, because I can't shred like you, Prince of hell
That Gilmour / Dorian section sounds very like Ihsahn from his solo stuff. Noice!
You frighten me
I just purchased a music book of Bach today, i guess yesterday now :)
Seen that MAB Lambo video a few times now lol
Was that annihilator I heard lmao 🤘🏻
Well tbh, for a drum part if you have o idea what drum parts to write, just but a blast beat and hope for the best
