Let's Talk About Math Rock damn I hateeee it when that happens Someone asks me "play that song for me" and I just want to punch myself, like WHY CAN'T I PLAY MY OWN SONG ANYMORE hahaha
Been watching your stuff for ages now. It's actually been really nice to see you slowly get so much more confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Awesome stuff. Keep it up :)
Dude you are genuinely my favorite guitar channel. You are so good at teaching, what is to me, such a foreign and strange genre. Please don't ever quit
DUDE I I got goosebumps when you punched them strings at the beginning! That is so relatable. I'm so glad you are here as my savior to help guide me in this genre
is it possible to play these types of chords/riffs in starndard? Math rock sounds so pretty to me but I’d like to be able to use these chords/riffs in other genres and don’t wanna re learn in a new tuning :/
Hey. Thanks for the question. You can play this sorta thing in standard too. It may be slightly more challenging, and/or you may not be able to get the same over all sound a different tuning can give, but achievable non the less.
You definitely can, but it narrows down your options a lot. The downside of alternative tunings is that you can’t play a song everywhere, but it opens up a lot of new possibilities for songs
Been playing guitar for 8 or so years, I can name the notes on the fretboard and essentially play anything that comes to mind, but this stuff boggles me, especially the note chart etc. I can somewhat hear the intervals but I just can't get there with this stuff. I've never tried other tunings, is this stuff possible in standard? If not I should really start experimenting with other tunings. Thanks for your videos man :)
Hey rachet. I'd say it's achievable in standard. May be more difficult in some cases, but it can be done. I've written midwest emo twinkly stuff in standard many times. In fact I play write in standard 99% of the time.
I felt like i was actually back in math class in high school because i didn't understand any of it 🤣, I'm not a real guitar player I'm just a simple 2 chord and 3 on a good day pop and skatepunk guy, i am better in drums but i enjoy watching Steve's videos for my son because he's the real guitarist 👍
Let's Talk About Math Rock Use your left hand for the chord shapes and tap with your right hand. That’s one of many ways, but works well will the twinklier sounds
That would depend on the tuning. If you're tuning strings up, use a lighter guage for that string and the opposite when tuning down. There is a caculator out there for this but I can't find it! Haha
Because this is an open tuning. With standard it's a bit harder to make chords like the ones shown in the video. It is possible to do it in standard tunings (I have a squire tuned UP half a step from E standard, so it's F A# D# G# C F for math rock). Open tunings just make it easier, especially if you have a capo.
great great content ! thx for all the input. anyways, Im actually a drummer and I started playing the guitar simply to write some music. I have no real theory knowlege.... can someone explain to me which notes from the charts fit together ? so I can build my own chords? would be so appreciated. thx
Let's Talk About Math Rock thx for the link. my bad I forgot you actually did a vid. about this already. Im still a little unsure about the notes I use. after you explain the basic triad (1,4,5) of C which should be C,F,G (right?!). you talk about making them more jazzy by adding the 7. is B the 7th? or is my starting point already wrong ?! lol thank you so much for helping .
Hey Laurie, I'd say that's one aspect of it. I'd say this video ties more into the emo/mathy side of math rock. Bands like TTNG, Tiny Moving Parts and so on. Love shellac btw.

That beginning clip is my reaction every time I practice math rock..
Haha. The same for when I can no longer play a riff I made

Thanks, Greg! I'm still somewhat awkward in front of the camera but I'm getting better at it for sure!
@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock noo0o0o0o0o don't talk yourself down, you're perfect
Dude you are genuinely my favorite guitar channel. You are so good at teaching, what is to me, such a foreign and strange genre. Please don't ever quit
Thanks for your kind words, and for the motivation!
I love extended chords, baby
That intro still gets me everytime
TTNG got me into them twinkly riffs and I'm addicted to them
Same xD
DUDE I I got goosebumps when you punched them strings at the beginning! That is so relatable. I'm so glad you are here as my savior to help guide me in this genre
Your vids are helpful! Appreciate it and I'm glad you finally checked out Tiny Moving Parts :)
Thank you. The audio tree live video made me fall in love with them. Haha.
Thought this title was "Twinky Riffs", but I was ok with it.
That chord at 4:23 reminded me of Placebo's whithout you I'm nothing
Omg!! U did it!! Steve you the best! Thanks a lot, great work man
Thanks!
Your presentation got sm better since the start of this channel. :')
This is a really great and well done video.

This is an amazing video and I’ve learned a lot about song writing from it

Then learn

Did you every try and learn?
It’s a sign, buy a guitar
Just want to say I think it's crazy that Sleepy Dog got onto the thumbnail lol.
Sick riff!
First 20 seconds captured my relationship with my guitar
😅

That's such a good tone, how'd you get it?
Could you please sing Firework by Katy Perry for your next video. Thanks.
Best I can do is Katy Perry by Firework

What about making a mad twinkly riff in standard tuning?

Now how do you make twinkles riffs in standard tuning?
Haha. It's not as hard as you may think.
same as in any other tuning
I don't know a whole lot about it but a capo helps
just play in the cmajor key and throw in a 7th chord
Let's Talk About Math Rock
Use your left hand for the chord shapes and tap with your right hand. That’s one of many ways, but works well will the twinklier sounds
I’ll always be the first one to comment your videos!!!🔥🔥
Thanks!
the guitar tuning database website doesn't work anymore. i was wondering if anyone had a good alternative to that
I'd like to know too!
What's the Vox amp on the desk? Pathfinder 15?
Why did you choose E min for the singular notes if the chords abide C Maj?
Chord at 4:23 4:24 ?
What is that blue thing on the top of the guitar? Thanks for the videos by the way!!! I love math rock
Hello. It's a fret wrap, it helps with unwanted harmonics, also, you can slide it on to the fret board to kill ringing open strings etc.
@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock wow thanks for the info!
What guitar string gauge would you recommend?
That would depend on the tuning. If you're tuning strings up, use a lighter guage for that string and the opposite when tuning down. There is a caculator out there for this but I can't find it! Haha
Let's Talk About Math Rock I'll hunt for it. Thanks!
American / Football / etc… is just genius lmfaoo
what website do you use to find the notes that fit
Search for fretboard navigator :)
That pop filter is too cute for words.
Haha. Tiny thing, right? Doesn't exactly work very well...
Let's Talk About Math Rock That’s ok, your guitar skills are mountainous. Thanks for the quality content. Cheers from Florida.
Im new, how do you read that chord chart correctly?
Tuning reminds me so much of ocarina of time
Lol
Samr
Kinda reminds me of kingdom hearts
This may be a stupid question, but why does a non-standard tuning help in this?
Because this is an open tuning. With standard it's a bit harder to make chords like the ones shown in the video. It is possible to do it in standard tunings (I have a squire tuned UP half a step from E standard, so it's F A# D# G# C F for math rock). Open tunings just make it easier, especially if you have a capo.

What pedal do you use btw?
In the description. I'm only using my amp and reverb pedal in this video.
You're awesome
What's on his guitar neck
It's to stop the strings from ringing behind the nut
