Finally! A guitar tutor who shows tapping in a non-Metal, Acoustic or Jazz context that is actually close what I wanna use tapping for. This is brilliant. If only there were more channels like this.
Sorry but, this is lesson 4, where is lesson 1? i tried to search for it in your channel but it´s not in video names :P Great lessons by the way, i´m a beginner and found this exciting ^^
dude, I just had to comment because I find you fucking cool. Thank you for taking all the time to make these lessons, it's inspired me to practice seriously for the first time in a while. Keep going with your music in Mountains and in these videos, because you've got of fans who appreciate it!
dude! I'm such a huge fan! no one else is doing math rock tutorials like yours. learning so much from you and its helping my career, so I owe you a lot!
I like this technique a lot! I used a similar method to teach people my tapping technique where I recommend tapping the last note of the scale on the string (then the last two notes) to better visualize their patterns. I love your stuff! Really helpful!
good to see someone making insights about math rock..btw I highly suggest you listen to the song from uchu conbini-pyramid.. they are a japanese band pretty sure you'd like their sound
Congratulations! You are creating an excellent channel to explore here, great lesson! Maybe the next video might have something about polyrhythms and metrics. Thanks so much!!! greetings from Argentina!
I love these videos. I especially love how you put tabs on the video and just play the example instead of naming each individual fret and string like most guitar videos do. Makes it a lot easier to watch and quicker to learn. Amazing job :)
Thanks, I thought it would be easier that way as you can just pause the video to learn it or go to my webpage and have them open there. Glad you are enjoying the lessons! I honestly didn't know if they would be useful or not when I first started.
Can someone list a bunch of math rock bands to listen to? I came because of TTNG, American football, mylets, invalids, and chon. Because of comments I found, Covet, lite, and he mentions delta sleep. I want MORE! Lol
The Red/Blue of "The Speed of Sound in Seawater". Delta Sleep takes some influences. Chon always for sure. Black Lips takes some influence from it. Covet/Yvette Young for sure! Also Clever Girl, and Floral.
Ron The Creator they're just scale patterns. They can be played starting from any fret. You can play any note/notes in whatever order you want. Get creative.
Sure are a lot of ads in this 16 minute video... After more consideration I am fine with the ads. This is some pretty solid content and it's free for me. Keep it up, I'm subscribed
Sweet! Its so sick you play it in standard, I had never thought of changing the tonality by using the chords as if I were in an open tuning. It really shed some light on things I was curious about. I feel like this video series is helping get to the next plateau in my playing.
Hi. I have some of it tabbed. I used part of the song in my latest lesson so I tabbed that part out (Check out the combination example). In addition I do play the intro part in the video. I'll get round to tabbing it sometime! letstalkaboutmathrock.com/5-essential-chords/
Hello! They're Tesla pickups. I have a the Nitro series pickups in both neck and bridge position. They have a higher output in the mid range, this makes it sound nice and bright and cuts through the mix when playing live. In addition, they are much cheaper than other brands^^ www.svguitars.com/tesla-vr-nitro-bridge-bk/
Do you mean substituting the dominant chord? I tend not to use dominant chords as I can never get them to fit that well in the style I play. I usually just play straight major (just the triad), make a sus variation (sus2 or sus4) or change key: lets say I'm in C major and when I get to the 5th chord (G) the dominant, I'll play like a g major 7 or 9 this means I've changed key (most likely to G major) but it's hardly noticeable and flows quite smoothly. Try it out.
Can someone explain to me why when the chords were used as an example that G was dominant instead of major? Everything I've seen shows g as major chord in the key of c... Thanks :D
If you extend the 5th chord in a major key by adding a 7th it becomes a dominant chord (a flat 7 note is added). For example 1st 3rd and 5th are the notes that make up a regular major chord. If you add more notes the chord name will change, and if you add the 7th it'll become a dominant chord. All other chords in a major key will change too when adding the 7th. CM7 Dm7 Em7 FM7 Gdom7 Am7 Bm7b5 for the key of C major.
Do you need to set up your guitar or amp in a special way to make your tapping sound this powerful? Do you use the picks in neck or bridge position? Any pedal you have connected the guitar on? My tapping sounds kind of weak even though I’ve been practicing for long.
Hello. This is a question I get a lot. I think I'll throw a video together to help. Some quick pointers. Neck pickup sounds thicker, humbukers will sound stronger but single pickups are fine. If you are playing in clean, find that sweet spot just before the amp starts to break up, that's a stronger sound for tapping. As for pedals, a compressor pedal can really help put but I wouldn't say it's essential. Good luck and let me know how you get on.
Hey, thanks for the question. Guitar PRS SE Singlecut Korina. I'm not sure if they make them any more. I swapped out the stock pups for some Tesla Nitro pick ups.

thank you dude for answering cause the first thing that come up to my mind if the genre is mathrock it is always in a different tune like covet and thank you for the tutorials men really helps a lot
Do you do skype lessons? And if so, how much do you charge? You have a great way of explaining things while keeping it simple enough and the fact that you specialize in this stuff and I enjoy your playing would make it great to learn from you one on one.
Hey, I haven't done Skype lessons before but I'm willing to give it a go. What's your email or contact so I can send you some info and ask some questions, thanks.
Let's Talk About Math Rock I'm kind of surprised by that. I thought you'd have done this before with how well you explain things. My email is learningtakes alifetime @ outlook. com (without the spaces though obviously)
LETS TALK ABOUT MATH ROCK, here is an yngwie malmsteen finger tapping lick which is out of key I think or a harmonic minor lick. Click the link to watch yngwie finger tap lick th-cam.com/video/PmPHANrBrw8/w-d-xo.html The First fingering tapping chord is C# E and taps G# = what chord? The Second Finger Tapping Chord is A# C# and taps G# = what chord? The Third Finger Tapping Chord is C D# and taps G# = what chord? The Third finger tapping chord is a semi tone behind the first finger tapping chord which sounds out of key or a harmonic minor
Tl;dr learn your scales and look how good I am at math rock tapping. More time spent on explaining how to effectively tap, combination techniques, and less time waffling around on the guitar would have been nice.
Not a drug dealer In addition to just practicing to get better finger strength & accuracy on the frets, a compressor pedal can help give your tapping a more even volume. It can compensate for weak taps by bringing their volume up. Not a necessary thing, but you can give it a try if you have a compressor lying around.

Hey, Eddie. Thanks for the love :). You guys keep inspiring me to keep playing and making videos for you, so thank you, too!
dude! I'm such a huge fan! no one else is doing math rock tutorials like yours. learning so much from you and its helping my career, so I owe you a lot!
Glad to help! Thank you.
I love that somebody is making videos on how to make math rock stuff! Is it likely that there will just be a video of examples soon?
thank you so much
this video is helping me getting out of the box and learn new stuff
I like this technique a lot! I used a similar method to teach people my tapping technique where I recommend tapping the last note of the scale on the string (then the last two notes) to better visualize their patterns. I love your stuff! Really helpful!
I really appreciate these videos, they've helped me a ton! Keep up the good work.
Cheers, I will do!
This channel is amazing; you're doing some holy work here, thanks!
Thanks, Dude!
Great lesson! This is an amazing genre; use many techniques, tempos, effects and the sound of guitars is so smooth...Cheers from Peru.
Wow, I love your teaching style.
+ChrispyCremes thank you~
good to see someone making insights about math rock..btw I highly suggest you listen to the song from uchu conbini-pyramid.. they are a japanese band pretty sure you'd like their sound
mini moogle they disbanded! T-T
The guitarist's new project Jyocho is great! Similar to uchu conbini.
Awesome work man ! Keep it up, i love your tutorials :)
Congratulations! You are creating an excellent channel to explore here, great lesson! Maybe the next video might have something about polyrhythms and metrics. Thanks so much!!! greetings from Argentina!
Tanks so much. Hello from mexico😎
Welcome to the channel :)

really usefull. Thank you for this lesson.
This was very insightful; glad to be a new subscriber!
Oh my god man you have my favorite channel
Thanks!
Whats the song in the intro? So good.
I wish you would have shown us how to play the riff you used to demonstrate playing over moving moving chords!
Can someone list a bunch of math rock bands to listen to? I came because of TTNG, American football, mylets, invalids, and chon. Because of comments I found, Covet, lite, and he mentions delta sleep. I want MORE! Lol
Tiny moving parts, Tricot, Hyakkei, Elephant Gym, Hami.
A picture of Her, Totorro, The Earth is a Man, Penpal
Feed Me Jack and Rooftops (A Forest of Polarity is one of my faves)
Tera Melos, LITE, Bygones, Don Caballero, Giraffes? Giraffes!
The Red/Blue of "The Speed of Sound in Seawater". Delta Sleep takes some influences. Chon always for sure. Black Lips takes some influence from it. Covet/Yvette Young for sure! Also Clever Girl, and Floral.
wow you're an amazing teacher! also i love your band
Thanks, dude!
It’s fun to see how much more comfortable Steve has gotten in front of the camera
really thank you !!!!!!
1:28 as soon as he formed that chord shape I knew he would do the restarts riff
Finally I found helpful video for taping. Greetings from russians Ivans and thank you for your videos!
video so old its unlisted! heya!
I play piano and this looks and sounds really cool. Makes me wish I learnt guitar! Keep up the good work, haha
Thank you~
Can somebody explain the diagrams at 6:16? I don't get what notes I play or the order...
Ron The Creator they're just scale patterns. They can be played starting from any fret. You can play any note/notes in whatever order you want. Get creative.
need a lesson on how to tap correctly, like guitar action? fx?
Great lesson like always :) Do you have any tabs for the song at 10:10 ?
I haven't right now but I'll make some for you.
Thanks
Done, they are on the lesson page, look for tapping modes example.
letstalkaboutmathrock.com/lesson-4-tapping/
Thanks so much!
Great lesson. So, we can tap any intervals or some will sound better? It's kind confuse to me, I tap and it doesn't sound good enough
any recommendations on how to get that wonderful tone?
Sure are a lot of ads in this 16 minute video...
After more consideration I am fine with the ads.
This is some pretty solid content and it's free for me. Keep it up, I'm subscribed
Damn you're right. That's TH-cam's auto suggestion of ad placements for ya. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll get cutting. Oh, and thanks for watching.
Master! Show me the way!
+Евгений Санчес thanks! Hope you found it useful.
Grand. Could you tell me which pickup do you prefer to use? bridge, neck or both? and also if the single-humbucker makes a difference?
everything you play sounds too beautiful! much love
Thank you :)
Haha man that riff for incandescent was straight slick man!
Thanks dude :) I will have the whole song up with tabs soon.
Sweet! Its so sick you play it in standard, I had never thought of changing the tonality by using the chords as if I were in an open tuning. It really shed some light on things I was curious about. I feel like this video series is helping get to the next plateau in my playing.
Awesome stuff! Yeah, I feel it can be quite a bit easier to tap in open tunings. It's good to be able to utilize both^^ Glad they are helping you out!
so can these scales be played anywhere across the neck
I really like the song in the intro, do you have a tab for it?
Hi. I have some of it tabbed. I used part of the song in my latest lesson so I tabbed that part out (Check out the combination example). In addition I do play the intro part in the video. I'll get round to tabbing it sometime! letstalkaboutmathrock.com/5-essential-chords/
I somehow didn't notice you had a website, but I'm happy you sent it because that lesson helps a lot. Thanks!
What brand are those pick ups, Steve?

Thanks a lot man, love your sound, so I'll check those p-ups!
Keep on rocking
Cheers dude!
Whats the music at the beggining of the video?
great, but...if i have a dominant chord, how can i find the other chords that give me a different tonality?
Do you mean substituting the dominant chord? I tend not to use dominant chords as I can never get them to fit that well in the style I play. I usually just play straight major (just the triad), make a sus variation (sus2 or sus4) or change key: lets say I'm in C major and when I get to the 5th chord (G) the dominant, I'll play like a g major 7 or 9 this means I've changed key (most likely to G major) but it's hardly noticeable and flows quite smoothly. Try it out.
Please can You talk about tempo or compas
I think you want to say time signatures, I understand you, we don't have a name like "time signatures" in Spanish.
I've got it on the list so I will cover it some time :)
Can someone explain to me why when the chords were used as an example that G was dominant instead of major? Everything I've seen shows g as major chord in the key of c... Thanks :D
If you extend the 5th chord in a major key by adding a 7th it becomes a dominant chord (a flat 7 note is added). For example 1st 3rd and 5th are the notes that make up a regular major chord. If you add more notes the chord name will change, and if you add the 7th it'll become a dominant chord. All other chords in a major key will change too when adding the 7th.

why use tapping sometimes when the note is on the next string help
intro song?

thanks, great lesson also
What is the tuning?? plis :)
greetings from Chile
Hi! I am playing in standard tuning (EADGBE)
is it in a standard tune
Hey Jim. Yes, it's in standard tuning.
thank you dude for answering cause the first thing that come up to my mind if the genre is mathrock it is always in a different tune like covet
and thank you for the tutorials men really helps a lot
a good exercise is a totla mad by periphey :D

What country are u from u kinda sound English
A tapping exerise to get you on your way: th-cam.com/video/tMXRt9zWqIQ/w-d-xo.html
How can you get a clear sound when tapping? Do you use the neck pick up and some pedal??
Neck pick up is better for a thicker clearer sound. I'm just plugged straight into my amp.^^

It can compensate for weak taps by bringing their volume up. Not a necessary thing, but you can give it a try if you have a compressor lying around.
