@@KeyanHoushmandLive I feel like it helps, but honestly some of my favorite musicians dont know theory and I think the way people write from a non theory perspective just sounds different
I know and understand music theory, and with that being said I can tell you it is absolutely not needed. Or I should say, at least not all of it. It’s helpful mostly when playing lead, knowing which scale or mode to use over a particular chord progression. But for rhythm playing I literally never apply theory knowledge, and I don’t think many players do whether they know theory or not. As an aside I really believe once you’ve reached an advanced level of playing you know what works with what anyways, and that’s essentially knowing theory whether you’ve studied it or not.
Theory is what gives you understanding of how music works and how to manipulate it meaningfully with extensive vocabulary of harmony, rhythm etc. If you avoid theory, you avoid being a better and richer songwriter. Unfortunately, some guitarists take pride in being ignorant or, dare I say, stupid. You don't see that happening with pianists, string players, sax players and so on. Oh, well...
Quick summary for those who kinda care about music theory, start with a power chord, add 9ths and some 13ths, play 3rds and 7ths at least an octave away from the root, avoid repeating the root and include some chords with less notes. At least that what I get.
@@CarlosGonzalez-vi9qv I know how to play drums, piano, and guitar but for the life of me I DON'T understand music theory. Are there any videos you recommend?
I'm gonna steal this and when I'm famous you'll sue me. Then I'll tell the judge like "nah dude-honour sir, plenty of people add 9ths and stuff" and I win and you get nothing but legal fees. The debts cripple your economy and personal relationships. But then I get cancelled for ableism when I replace my quadriplegic guitar tech and we have an 80's karate fight that you win and I become a glue-sniffing hobo while you go on to make a record with Elton John called "Metal Man".
I haven't played my guitar in about 8 years. i found this video a few days ago and it made me pick the guitar back up. so thank you for the inspiration.
Definitly you're parte of a New generation who modernise and You are definitely part of the new generation of musicians who modernize and continue my generation of Hold School metal. I like to see new musicians being able to teach what in my time few wasted time on theory. I was self-taught until I started to study seriously at the age of 25, when the first courses appeared.. Today I continue to study, almost 60 years old, I feel more and more alive to see that there is a new generation that does not let my musical genre die and being able to play everything. Congrats for your work. 🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is what I've been looking for in a big chord video I listen to alot of periphery so knowing these chords with help getting their sound with sounding exactly like them
It's worth mentioning that's a great way to help write a solo too. Start simple with the roots or an octave up or down, then build on that to find as many notes that fit and you like in the chord progression. Put the chords in boxes, then rip them open with no regard for the wrapping paper.
You are mostly usind minor. major and susadd9 chords/powerchords, and by the end using clusters, if anyone interested in theory at all lol. Sounds cool btw, you can do those kinds of sounds on standard tunning too
@@KeyanHoushmandLive they're not a stretch you just need to either drop a high voice or let the bass play the low notes or just get a extended range guitar. Can do all this on a 7 string with jazz chords. Still good lesson though!
It reminds me of Disturbed chords. I guess their guitarist is one of the first to start adding all the extensions around a drop power chord. Great stuff man! When a guitar is well tuned and well intonated it adds great power! Distorted...
Hell yeah that's how I do it too! Another simple trick when you're confused is to just move a finger up or down on the fretboard. I've saved a lot of procrastination just from going well no clue where this song is going so I guess I'll just bring the rhythm down or up the fretboard and bam you can do that as many times as needed till it sounds good
Great video man, you have some legit videos and it’s appreciated. I’ve played a long time but almost exclusively in standard tunings. One day it hit me that in drop tunings I can reach the root and the fifth with one finger, freeing up the rest of my fingers to shape and construct chords and melodies around the root. It was a game changer. I’m still a little more old school with my metal tastes, but it is fun to throw in some of these big melodic open chords when I’m playing death or thrash metal, really opens the sound and tempers the brutality.
I've kept the tab with this video open in my browser since the day this video came out because of just how often I use these chords and how useful they are, mostly the version 3 ones. They have a great flavor and they've recently kinda become a "staple" of my drop tuning playing. Thank you for the excellent video and ideas!
great video. Even though I know a fair bit of music theory, I do this quite a bit because it can give some more interesting results that you wont come to with theory. I do suggest learning some theory though so you can understand why it sounds good, and save some time during the noodling process.
really doesn't have to learn those theories, as long as you have the notes in your head that you can put on the fret board. This really helps me a lot on mapping those keys and would have a starting point. Thanks much! Hope to see this kind of tutorial in 7 strings as well. :)
Good god, you're beating that guitar like it owes you money. Everyone take note that his tone is fucking superb, a good bit of that is in that godly picking hand.
6:55 learned this chord from one of Mark Holocomb's videos. He learned it from someone as well ... this way of writing music i feel like gives more space to be out of the box. But ofc we all wish we knew theory (e.g. like musiciswin). someday ..
I have a juggernaut ht6 strung up with 11-56 as well. Mine is the poor kids version of your guitar, but man it still plays and sounds great! I love videos like this, I know absolutely nothing about formal music, so I like getting new perspectives on how to approach an otherwise theory heavy topic. Thanks dude, keep up the good work!
I started to make music with drop tunings since a couple of yours. You can tell that is a totally different world apart from standard tunings. In the drop you get different vibrations
That's pretty slick man. I've studied a lot of music theory. Basically you have 7 7th chords and you can alter the 3rds up one note and down one note to get 21 sus chords. (Sus2 sus4) you can add all your extensions to any of the chords 7s 9s 11s 13s You will also find 4 weird chords lyd 1 #4 5, phry 1 b2 5, loc 1 b2 b5 and 1 weird sus4 b5. You can add all your sections to all of them. Last is your quartaul chords 4th chords. Now that's all just one key (mode) say C major. There's 7 modes and most of the chords and available notes change with each mode and there's a ton of other scales and modes to choose from which all have there own unique chords and extensions to use or even borrow from. Really great lesson man! You made me want to buy another guitar and put 56 guage strings on it. So I can play drop see. I know I can in drop D flat or whatever....
Always inspiring brother. Continuing to watch you grow. A few months ago, I bought the $700 dollar Misha HT6 in satin white. See my thumbnail lol. But I got mine used for just over $500 in MINT condition. For the money it sounded great, just didn't hold tune very well. Changed the plastic nut ($10) for a graphite nut and the problem was solved. Installed Hipshot 6GLO 3x3 open gear locking tuners ($60) and it's a beast now. I honestly don't dislike the MM1 pickups he designed for this guitar with Jackson. They sound very modern. Eventually I will drop the $350 for a set of juggernauts, or $399 if I want them WITH the pup covers. (Expensive) And, I've ordered a hipshot hardtail bridge too ($65). Should be at my door in a day or two! So, the moral of the story is, if you want a GREAT HT6 but can't afford to shell out between 3 to 4 grand, do exactly what I did. So for $150, I have made my HT6 sing dudes!! Total cost for the guitar, WITH parts that I've bought and installed about $650 If you want the bareknuckle juggernauts, you're looking at a little over $1000. Big difference buying the parts yourself and dressing up the base model. You just don't get the flashy paintjob. Hope you and your fam are keeping in and safe. Hey...Remain indoors!
I love music theory (Modes especially) but when it comes to solos. I usually play what sounds good to me then I dive into the theory behind it to get to the more technical stuff.
Great video - simple and comprehensive! Could you do a step-by-step guide just on that loop you used for programming drums, recording and mixing bass and guitar? All that Nolly stuff is way to advanced and complex for me.
This actually helped me a bit some more, I made a similar big sounding chord of my own years ago, also only really works good in drop c mostly, I should do a video sometime. Might as well get back into playing guitar more since everything is closed for us at this point x.x
U really got me back into practicing guitar way too much so i can be a mini white misha 😂😂 seriously though your videos have inspired and helped me out a lot in my own music thanks for that Keep dem vibes up 😔🙏
thank you for this video. everyone else goes too much into theory and im self taught with just basic theory knowledge so this is how i like to learn haha im writing all these chords down to practice now.
the video ive been waiting for for years now! thank you! to be honest i always went on ultimate guitar, and checked the chordshapes bands like periphery or haunted shores use and wrote riffs with those chords :)
Im already at this point. But then when you start partially baring with your second finger over a 5 fret stretch I just kinda remember that I wish I had never eased off playing during my 5 years worth of degrees in other subjects. 😂😂
I’m logical precise and analytical but deep down there is a sensitive core, black helps me analytical-ize my extra-tans-dimension hexagon universal existential sadness
Great information and an excellent way to help us understand a method for how to construct a melody without knowing music theory - practical and effective advice! You are a great talent please keep it up, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite YT personalities. Great videos: good timing/pacing, excellent skills on the guitar, all very well presented. I see that you occasionally comment in João Medeiros channel - that guy is also 100% awesome, his covers and tone are near perfect and he plays high level intermediate/expert level stuff. You 2 should colab. on something. I found your site when I was looking for reviews on JST TFMM and your playing and review helped me out a lot, I even learned some of your riffs to help validate that I was achieving the same tone that you were getting. I can say that I did get a solid match for the tones you presented but my playing is slow and sloppy so that keeps it from sounding like a perfect match. Can I ask - how did you learn to play? How long have you been playing? What are some of the tools and resources you used to learn how to play as well as how to mix and render a song?
Thanks dude! Me and Joao have collared on a Masamune - Periphery cover, he was shredding bass. I learnt how to play from the age of 5, I was just given a guitar at my birthday and I never wanted to put it down. All my mixing comes from Nolly GetGood mixing tutorials on UA-cam. Thanks for watching!
That "no theory required" most defenitely will attract a few more people

The beauty of drop tuning. *BIG ASS CHORDS*

And with that. BIG ASS HANDS

At least that what I get.
Kinda late to this but, the more notes you add, the more responsible you have to be with the voice leading of each, or making them common tones.
@@joex-mn4we I was about to make a Thanks Nobuo joke xD
Voice leading for sure though
Theory nerd dropping some knowledge.... your progression was:
Fmin9 Ebmaj7/G Absus2 Bb Cmin9
Pfft...NERD!
Learning theory myself. So tough!
@@kennethsmith5383 It's easy but it takes time to comprehend. Once you have it though you'll look back and see how easy it is.
Ryan, there's also a major 6th in that Absus2 chord. So wouldn't that make it Ab6sus2? Or Ab6add9?
Theory nerd here didn’t feel like figuring out the fingerings then figuring out chord names, this will make it much easier thank you.
@@CarlosGonzalez-vi9qv I know how to play drums, piano, and guitar but for the life of me I DON'T understand music theory. Are there any videos you recommend?
„Make huge Sounds“
1. Get a 7-String
Well, no... It's wrong.
whaaat no
2. Get an 8 string
Huge sound not in your guitar but in your hands
I'm gonna steal this and when I'm famous you'll sue me. Then I'll tell the judge like "nah dude-honour sir, plenty of people add 9ths and stuff" and I win and you get nothing but legal fees. The debts cripple your economy and personal relationships. But then I get cancelled for ableism when I replace my quadriplegic guitar tech and we have an 80's karate fight that you win and I become a glue-sniffing hobo while you go on to make a record with Elton John called "Metal Man".
Damn that was a whole journey
Are u mentally ill?
I haven't played my guitar in about 8 years. i found this video a few days ago and it made me pick the guitar back up. so thank you for the inspiration.
its checkup time, you still playing?
You still playing?
wow this was so clear and instructive, learned a lot of new shapes! thanks man, keeps the series going!!
Will do Gabriel!
Finally, I've had an extremely hard time trying to play this tyle of music. I've always loved the periphery, invent animate, prog djent feel.
I'm glad to see someone else using fruity loops with metal
There’s always one
same here
FL Gang here ❤
Thanks!
Loving these tutorials, it's right where I'm at right now... big spread chords and harmony. The tabs on screen for the chords are a plus!
Took so long to edit those tabs in AHAHAHA , thanks!
Very counterparts and TGI inspired..great vid❤
Thanks for having a lesson that actually includes the tabs
No worries dude
This REALLY opened up my way of looking the fretboard , keep up the good work!

This video should’ve been called “Intro to how to write a Counterparts song”
the fact that you said you dont know much about theory or scales but play that good gives me hope
I‘m doing it exactly the same way. But it‘s interesting to see a slightly different finger placement here and there.
Thanks for tuning in
You are mostly usind minor. major and susadd9 chords/powerchords, and by the end using clusters, if anyone interested in theory at all lol.
Sounds cool btw, you can do those kinds of sounds on standard tunning too

I have watched so many videos of professional guitarists trying to explain things in a simple way....this is far better! Well done mate, love it.
Dude it souds so good, your guitar , audio monitor that metal effect, its lit, its on fire, and that chords bro,
Thanks a lot man !
Hey Keyan! Your drums sounds absolutely killer, could you make a tutorial about how do you achieve that super explossive sound?
Maybe in another video
One of my most favorite videos of yours so far.
Dude, those chord progression you created are awesome, no matter if they were based on music theory or not!! ImI
Thanks Marco!

This has been what I've been looking for, for a long time!!! Thank you so much for expanding my mind on this :D
Amazing tutorial, really opened me up to why drop tuning is so much of a step up.
Fantastic riffs!!!
I started to make music with drop tunings since a couple of yours. You can tell that is a totally different world apart from standard tunings. In the drop you get different vibrations
I think the important think when writing is variation; the extended chords hit harder with contrasting and more basic parts/riffs.
This guy is a huge inspiration and motivation! Please, keep on doing these awesome vids :)
