Tyler. You have a very special gift for teaching what at least to me are complex musical theories and application of them in the real world. I have a hunch you enjoy teaching and it shows. Lots of folks with talent and the music education you have can do lots of other things with your music and time that teach us wannabe players but I'm very glad your have shared some of your talent with us. You have a very disarming style and approach to your lessons. I have been playing, (more like tinkering) with guitar for over 50 years now and I could not live without it. I try to play every day at least something. I'm sure you understand. Thank you and keep it going . Kind regards, Jerry
a more simple way to explain it would be: take a scale, any scale. guitar 1: play a lick on that scale starting on the first note (or whatever note, you can take the 1st as a referrence). guitar 2: play the same exact lick but starting on the 3rd note of that scale. but be sure to respect the notes of the scale, it will not be the same exact fretting if we are respecting the intervals of that scale, it will just be the same lick with the same sequencing (edit: tested by the doctor: you can also use the 5th note of the scale, and just as tyler said, the 2nd works depending on the context. just play around with it and have some good ear training)
Excellent breakdown of harmonies. The guitarist who got me intrigued in that is brian may. The guy was doing guitar harmonies in the way we use them today back when people didn’t know this was a concept. Great stuff man, rock on 🤘
glad to see someone appreciate brian may his harmonies were so complex and ahead of his time he used to create entire orchestras with the guitar he’s truly one of one in my eyes
If you want an earlier example check out John Du Cann on the eponymous Andromeda album. One of the pioneers to incorporate the technique into the band’s sound.
Hi. Out of context comment. I am using a sennheiser HD 202, and I hear a wooden squeaky sound going on when tyler is speaking. Did anyone else catch that? it would be around 7:20 . Great video man and I like how you say, use your ears, that is a great way to go IMO :) ....and this is the best thing that's ever happened to youtube, guitar wise and music wise. Thank you for creating this chanel.
Duckspy I don’t even wanna argue on this Iron Maiden has the best music ever created with the best vocals!! Synyster Gates is a talented man who can write amazing solos......but in composition Adrian smith’s riffs are the best riffs ever written in history of music the only thing I would say brooks whackerman is a better drummer than niko McBrain......but Johnny Christ is no where near to Steve harris
crazytush ! Ok I had the decency to realize music is a preference. There’s no such thing as the best music it’s all preference and clearly you only fanyboy about Iron Maiden and don’t like anything else but I really don’t care
Thank you so much I took a music theory class in high school(just graduated) and didn't know how to apply this to guitar till just now! Thank you so much!😃
that was such high quality content man, thank you! i think more musicians need to get into music theory, because a talent can take you pretty far but its limited. music theory breaks the limit. greetings from germany \m/
I wasn't being condescending, I was putting the point across that don't need to learn something new to enjoy this channel. It's nice to listen to him play regardless of the lesson.
I like how your mic picks up every single squeak of the chair :D It's like 40% chair. It's through all the vid, but at 7:11 I thought someone is sneaking up on me xD Other than squeaky chair issues, great content. I feel like harmonies are the most important concept in music at all.
I appreciate this video very much because I was trying to do a harmonizer effect when I double track my guitars creating a groove or melody to a heavy part of a song.
"Otherwise, use your ear". HA! I've been trying to "use my ear" for nearly forty years and I'm still waiting for results. However, over the past month, I've been working on Tyler"s Guitar Super System and my playing has really improved noticeably. I've always subscribed to the school of thought, "if UA-cam doesn't have a video for it, you don"t need to be messing with it". Look at my subscriptions. I bet they look just like yours; Guitarjamz, Justinsongs, Yourguitarsage, Mike Cross, etc. I've been picking up free tips from these guys for years and these dudes are all awesome. But my playing never improved in an appreciable way. Without structure and curriculum, I just seemed to go in circles trying to effectively utilize the training. My practice was inconsistent while trying to figure it out this way. Since I had no guidance on the order I should learn things, I would stall out and not practice as much as I should. With Guitar Super System, I practice a lot because I know what's coming up in the course and the excitement and anticipation really motivates me to practice. It's not uncommon to have two hour practice sessions which was unheard of before. The momentum I've created thanks to the Guitar Super System, everything I've learned over the past forty years is even sounding better. This course has put the fun back in guitar playing for me. I'm probably sounding like a total kiss-ass at this point. I have never met Tyler so I'm not a friend (feels like it though), family member, landlord who needs his rent posting a glowing review so that Tyler can sell lots of courses. I am a very satisfied customer who is very excited to play the guitar again. If you're a guitar prodigy, then continue using your ear. For the rest of us, this course is excellent.
Since I write everything in sheet music, and then learn it on whatever instrument I'm playing, I make harmonies by writing a tune, and then writing another tune with the same rhythm, and just make it out of notes that sound nice, so I end up with a lot of changing harmonies.
Tyler Vs. Jared for what? That isn't even a legitimate contest idea LOL!!! They're both completely unique to their own style. They're both amazing with their own separate goals in music, and both amazing at what they're doing. I've been playing for years, and still feel like every video of theirs has an abundance of knowledge to learn from I can see a lot of musicians/virtuosos from the future generations reflecting on what these men have shared with the world of music.
Very good! I would like to see more harmony clips! How bout one in a right hand boogie-woogie mode? By the way isn't the E minor 7 scale the same as the G major pentatonic?
Hey Tyler, video idea: Do you think that you can give us some pinky exercises to work on? I've been leaving my pinky behind and I'm not getting all that I want out of it. Anything helps. Thanks! -Jake
Excellent lesson-learned a lot! I am sure it can answer my question below, but...... Could you please explain how 2-3 guitarists in a band can play different chords at the same time? Skynyrd, Allmans, Kiss, Doobies, etc. Always wondered how one acoustic plays with a capo and the others don't. Just what are they playing and why does it work? Thanks!
97yawnac this may be way too simplistic of an answer, but could that just be the guitarists playing different voicings? like the capo'ed guitarist placing the capo on the 3rd fret and using an E shape (which creates an G Barre chord) and then the other guitarist playing an open G or a different g shape up the neck without a capo?
That was good. I think a little general understanding of the intervals and relating to chords and shapes up the neck presents quick choices for dbl stops triplets and… where’s that pinky gonna go? Looking for a cool note. Maybe bending into it to show my super human pinky. Lol
Honestly, the diatonic 2nds sound cool to me there. Kind of has that math rock-esque sound. Maybe it's the brighter tone on the guitar, it likely would be worse with distortion.
i want to learn harmonies on UA-cam today won't stop until I get it. It's not gonna be that hard. *2minutes into the video* God damn it just gonna use my ear!
Dual harmonies are the reason I fell in love with A7X, Metallica,Trivium and Kiss
How bout Thin Lizzy and Wishbone Ash? ;)
IRON MAIDEN????
@@ikilledme1millionyearsago693 Shit, I forgot xD
Allman Brothers!
@James Williams so what .it is still a band..atleast he dint list bts LOL
6:00-6:20 for people who like to know how in 20 seconds
lol. So true. I've actually used harmony in my guitar playing for all my life without any knowledge of music theory whatsoever.
thanks boss!
I've been doing this. It's always better to use your ears.
I love how you kept saying "remains the same" while wearing a Led Zeppelin T-shirt 😂
Tyler. You have a very special gift for teaching what at least to me are complex musical theories and application of them in the real world.
I have a hunch you enjoy teaching and it shows. Lots of folks with talent and the music education you have can do lots of other things with your music and time that teach us wannabe players but I'm very glad your have shared some of your talent with us.

As a Mayer fan, I love that slow dancing in a burning room at the end! Didn't expect it at all
a more simple way to explain it would be: take a scale, any scale. guitar 1: play a lick on that scale starting on the first note (or whatever note, you can take the 1st as a referrence). guitar 2: play the same exact lick but starting on the 3rd note of that scale. but be sure to respect the notes of the scale, it will not be the same exact fretting if we are respecting the intervals of that scale, it will just be the same lick with the same sequencing (edit: tested by the doctor: you can also use the 5th note of the scale, and just as tyler said, the 2nd works depending on the context. just play around with it and have some good ear training)
The 4 works surprisingly well
@@Zepla 4th interval = SLAYERRRR!

"the concept remains the same"
*wears led zeppelin shirt*
ayyyee
lol - checked the comments before say this. You beat me :)
Also "That interval distance remained the same" . . . what's going on?!?
What's the joke?
@@alielmiedany3611 song remains the same is a Led Zeppelin song
i thougt the same thing lol
Your toilets clogged? Nothing you can't fix with Guitar Super System!
It cleans the crap out of your system!
Otherwise just use your ears... I guess.
Came for the zeppelin t-shirt... Stayed for the awesome lesson! Love your stuff, Tyler! You've really found an awesome format that works for you!
Your content is honestly helping me with the areas of guitar I love and want to know more about. Thank you, keep it up my dude!
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room...nice!
Jorge Aguilera lol, no sabía que veías s Tyler, no aprendo de ti jsjsj pero me gustan tus vídeo bro : )
Nice to see that someone else caught it!
Q’ubo maestro 🙏

Tyler great video m8! And ty for showing the theory in a clean channel, i think that it is better so, because it is more understandable
You could have titled this How To: Iron Maiden
or a7x 😂
Duckspy avenged sevenfold is nothing compared to Iron Maiden harmonies
crazytush ! No. avenged is better imo. Iron Maiden’s just much more popular but doesn’t mean they are better
Duckspy I don’t even wanna argue on this Iron Maiden has the best music ever created with the best vocals!!

This is great! I never learned guitar harmonies but want to incorporate them into my music more. Thank you for this video and sharing with us!
Cacophony and Racer- x took this harmonizing stuff to an extreme. Cacophony even made harmonized seconds sound good somehow
2:50 please don't.
Actually, in a way I love these dissonant harmonies! When used in the right place they're so neat :)
Like in Pergolesi´s Stabat Mater Dolorosa (1749) ;)
unless your rings of saturn
you never heard meshuggah?? It will all make sense then
Rings of Saturn
that was such high quality content man, thank you! i think more musicians need to get into music theory, because a talent can take you pretty far but its limited. music theory breaks the limit. greetings from germany \m/
Congrats, Tyler! You're almost to 200k subs!
Thank you. Only took me 5 years to understand. THANK YOU!!!
I already know how to harmonize, I just came to watch you play :]
I wasn't being condescending, I was putting the point across that don't need to learn something new to enjoy this channel. It's nice to listen to him play regardless of the lesson.
Wadsmitter Your comment wasn't needed. Not trying to sound rude but think before you speak (type)
lol
guitar harmonies are one of the best parts of rock and metal music
that was awesome! defiantly showed a good way of making harmonies! :)
Love it.
i have been looking for this for 3 weeks
Another winner! Thanks Tyler.
Great video, Tyler. I loved that you showed examples for everything you were talking about. :)
yes I've been waiting for this video for a long time
This lesson was amazing I finally got a better grasp on what harmonies are and how they work! Thank you! I feel you just expanded my brain! SUBBED
Do you know the Canadian Rock Band Billy Talent? The singer and guitarist do really awesome vocal harmonies!
I like how your mic picks up every single squeak of the chair :D It's like 40% chair. It's through all the vid, but at 7:11 I thought someone is sneaking up on me xD

I liked the gretta shirt
I've been waiting for this for so much time...
7:29 so nice :)
eyv
Bonus points for the John Mayer lick at the end. Love it.
thank you so much I was looking everywhere for this
You can also harmonize using delay.
you sir just got me to finish my song in minutes, good looks brah!
brian may "killer queen"
Keep yourself alive
Oh wow, this is exactly what I'm trying to learn right now.
Johnny Winters version of "Rock And Roll Hootchie Coo"contains 2nd degree harmony which was not used by Derringer! Great Lesson!
brilliant tutorial! surely cleared the doubt I've always held within!
Nice content! Keep it up!
I appreciate this video very much because I was trying to do a harmonizer effect when I double track my guitars creating a groove or melody to a heavy part of a song.
Great introduction to a complex method. Subscribed.
A great lesson. Greetings from Sweden.
This Charming Man by The Smiths is a good example of self harmonization, it's very easily spotted when you hear it.
That last lick was heavenly
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A HARMONY VIDEO FOR SO LONG OMG

almost 200k! this channel is growing so fast
Tyler ex-machina... I was literally listening to a song with an awesome guitar harmony as this popped up
That e position change has such an Allman Brothers vibe
For years I have been trying to learn about this
Excellent lesson,explanation,approach, & demeanor 👍. I’m subscribing! Thanks.

Tyler Vs. Jared for what?
That isn't even a legitimate contest idea LOL!!!
They're both completely unique to their own style.
They're both amazing with their own separate goals in music, and both amazing at what they're doing.
I've been playing for years, and still feel like every video of theirs has an abundance of knowledge to learn from
I can see a lot of musicians/virtuosos from the future generations reflecting on what these men have shared with the world of music.
Very useful tips Tyler thank you I was wondering for a long time how to harmonize!! keep shredding !!! \m/
Pretty heavy stuff. Love it.
I got exactly what I needed from this video, thanks!
Finally it makes sense for me! You suppose to play in the same scale but different mode, not just move the scale 4 or 5 frets further
Modes you mean dorian with aeolian etc?
Can you do a video about countermelodies or even counterpoint?
holy .sauron
this
The one in Exodus's deathrow is fuckin sick
Really nice job teaching this concept!
The squeaking strap drives me nuts. My own squeaks like that squeaky boi you’re rockin
It totally bugged me at the end... Holy cow. But we need videos like this man. The topic is so confusing.
Awesome video! Thanks for making a video on harmonies!
The b2 intervals need to be used so freaking sick sounds like some sonic youth over here so good
Man, I sure need to know how to do this stuff..for sure,,,valuable stuff...need serious help on this!
Very good! I would like to see more harmony clips! How bout one in a right hand boogie-woogie mode? By the way isn't the E minor 7 scale the same as the G major pentatonic?

Omg… chords and intervals. Damn I just overstepped my expertise. Lplpl
Nice video. I have been doing some harmonies on a couple of songs too.The most important thing is to make sure you can hear how you want it to sound.
The song remains the same!🤘🏼
when he did the intro like the "yo whattup guys" i thought this was a joke video
2:59 same face reaction when I heard it too. 😂
ay I'm wearing a led Zeppelin shirt today too! great vid btw!
very nice video as always but the video looks a little bit dark but other than that its very good😉👍keep it up you rock
Honestly, the diatonic 2nds sound cool to me there. Kind of has that math rock-esque sound. Maybe it's the brighter tone on the guitar, it likely would be worse with distortion.
I didnt expect the slow dancing in a burning room lmao
Mate, put that lapel on your t-shirt, that strap is creaking to shit. Sounds like you're on a haunted ship. Good lesson man, love your studio setup. x
thesoundengine now I can't un-hear it. Thanks!
Clash O'Clans Haha, sorry man. listen to the intro to regulator by clutch, same thing: creaky chair though.
thesoundengine yeah it's probably like when you notice someone chewing loudly, you can't ignore it once you've heard it
Eagles: Felder/Walsh; Lou Reed, Alice Cooper: Wagner/Hunter; Judas Priest: Tipton/Downing
Tyler vs Jared Dines..
Steed JR Steve Terrebery Wins Lol
Stinger 1nRockZone or davie504 😂😂😂
only tyler went to berklee right?
Tyler wins hands down.
Jared Dines is a mouth breathing idiot.
Corey Mineard why?
its a really good lesson video of you
i want to learn harmonies on UA-cam today won't stop until I get it. It's not gonna be that hard. *2minutes into the video* God damn it just gonna use my ear!
you are amazing, thank you!
Please do more memorable guitar intros!!
I use self harmonies but I also have another guitarist so we can easily sound much bigger than we are, but only have two guitars
Harmonies are awesome
\m/
just realized that that's what your logo looks like lol
Sooo...... you do this in between doing the weekend update on SNL?
I think that's Tyler's new favorite guitar lol
You're the best, what else can I say! \m/
Nice stuff...thanx!
Awesome keep it up bro!
My favorite interval has to be octaves. You can say it's boring, but I think they're beautiful
I would like to take a guitar lessons with you man...
