I can’t believe we made that video in one day! Looking forward to the next!
Very cool collab, I'll check out your channel! :D

What Makes This Song Great - Michael Jackson Thriller
I would love to see this video on halloween 2021
I want to be Nahre Sol when I grow up
I loved the flavours you found and the emotional topography you created Nahre Sol.
A magical musical morning listen.
Double Harmonic Major - 1:58
Lydian ♯2 ♯6 - 2:43
Ultraphrygian - 3:18
Hungarian Minor - 3:52
Oriental - 4:06
Ionian Augmented ♯2 - 4:39
Locrian 𝄫3 𝄫7 - 5:04
Beautiful composition. It's dark without being sad, which seems to make it more disturbing. The visuals going alongside it are stunnding and, and really fitting too.
I would seriously buy an album with your musical compositions. You should really share more of your own work. Truly inspiring.
So much this!
I would too!
i still don't get why rick doesn't put up an album along this stuff. it would sell like hotcakes amogst his subscribers so the sales are almost 100% certain
Yeah it's almost like these compositions go to waste. I mean, I appreciate the work he puts in these kind of videos (showcasing what he is trying to explain through his compositions) but I think he should consider compiling some of them in an album.
Omg YES. I'm in no way shape or form a classical music listnener, and even so, I would've listened to this for hours.
I can't overstate how surprised I am at how much I enjoyed this.
I feel like I've just found out something about myself I didn't even know was there
Hello Rick Beto, this scale is actually a fairly common one in Indian Carnatic music, in fact it is the first ever thing they teach for a newbie singer/player in India, because of the symmetry of the scale. There are not a lot of songs written on this scale, but it is great to learn first time. It was mildly surprising to see western musicians like you use this scale in your music. Anyone interested in googling it, it is called “Mayamalavagowla” in Indian classic music.
Thank you so much for explaining this. I am now discovering wanderful carnatic music thanks to your comment.
Thank you for mentioning it, I was looking exactly this kind of tone in music , it's my favourite...it's similar to " Hai Rama" by AR Rahman , Aapsara ali & Bai ga by Ajay Atul and aang laga de by Sanjay Leela Bhansali as well as ' Baithe hain " by Amit Trivedi
@@obrachet lots of love 🤟
The Double Harmonic Minor scale also existis in the Arabic Maqam Modal music system, where it is called 'Shad Araban Maqam'. One other mode of the Double harmonic minor scale, the Hungarian minor, is known in the Arabic Maqam Modal system as 'Nawa Athar Maqam'.
@@teelurizzo8542do you know the origin of this scale? Some say its Arab some say its aincent greek.
Seriously, how do you not have directors pounding yer door down to do their scores? I don't get it.
One minute you sound like Holst, then John Adams, then Jaws, then Cabin in the Woods.
Seriously, so good!
WOW. That IS dark. But it's also incredibly beautiful. I feel like I've heard it a lot, for some reason. Thank you, Rick, for increasing my knowledge base once again.💜🌟
This scale is very common in middle eastern music
Nahre Sol and Rick Beato composed together ! A dream come true... :)
Berklee metal professor Joe Stump uses this scale a lot, although he usually teaches it from Hungarian Minor and considers Double Harmonic Major a mode of that.
interesting! Love Joe Stump!
Thank you for saying that because I was wondering why Rick started with an awkward sounding mode like E double harmonic major when Hungarian Minor seems more straightforward (kinda).
I agree, the Hungarian minor is a common scale the fifth mode of which is the gypsy scale that the song "Dark Eyes" is from and is also good for playing over the A section of Caravan.
@@ThePmfan Technically they both could be called “gypsy”. Just one is called Gypsy Minor, Hungarian Minor, Hungarian Romani Minor, or Double Harmonic Minor. Then the fifth mode to which you refer can be called Gypsy Major, Hungarian Major, Hungarian Romani Major, or Double Harmonic Major. Only two scales but way too many names!
@@SelfPropelledDestiny thanks! Where i can find the chords?
This is one of the most harmonically informative pieces I've heard from you. The notes, the atmosphere the modes create.. insanely touching. Love these!
Dark ambient is one of my favorite genres. Very intriguing composition demonstrating those scales and how they work. Great musicianship Enjoyed!
While I had this playing, I was cooking dinner as though I was solving a double murder mystery involving a mysterious shadowy cult… “And they added 2 tea spoons salt to the pan… but Why? Why would they then sauté until brown only to place the pan into the oven set to 450 degrees. Are they insane? Damnit Lindsey! Why?!“ To which my girlfriend responded “This is your last glass of wine”
I make EVERY dinner while listening to Rick,it's the music education I should have had😉. And my wife ...she has the wine!
😂🤣
🤣
absolutely awesome Rick and Nahre!
Love it! A wonderful composition. Your original compositions are the most interesting of all of your content...so keep them coming!
This is super cool. I love the sound of those scales. And great playing as always, Nahre.
What a beautiful piece of music! The emotion of the double harmonic major is unbelievable. Glad you shared this.
This is huge in many ways, the composition, the performance and the knowledge gained from this excellent breakdown. I have been subscribed to Nahre's channel and she does very cool things on the piano.
Simply outstanding! Great video on Double harmonic Major. This will add a wonderful twist to your arrangements!
Shred is going to LOVE this video! Nice job Rick and Nahre, beautiful piece of music.
Awesome piece!! Love to see two of my favourite TH-camrs working together. Hope you will do more with Nahre in the future!
So beautiful. It's remarkable how even in the darkness, the tension always manages to resolve. I'm not far enough into my Beato Book to really grok this yet, but it's only a matter of time. Absolutely beautiful, and it was lovely to hear Nahre's playing again. She's brilliant.
Now, everyone should post recommendations since these modes are not often used in many pieces or songs. It's golden stuff for those of us who hunted these gems.
This is amazing! Such beautiful dissonance like I've never heard. Thank you for sharing!
That was amazing! I love Nahre. I’m really liking these old fashion Beato videos
Very expositive, thanks. This really brings home why understanding the structure of the scales and chords is important in order to say what one wants to say.
Very Cool! Great compositions and great playing by Nahre!! Thanks for sharing!!
This was so incredible, Thank you for the composition and letting us know about Nahre! I followed the link to Nahre Sol and was blown away by her talent, I am now a subscriber on her channel!
Holy shit!! Pardon my French but wow! There just so much emotional content in those harmonies!!! Awesome! The exact opposite of modern top 40 chart music haha. Great video!
Great composition! I'm glad to see another video on the double harmonic major scale again too.
This is an absolute beauty! It’s so somber and hopeful and terrifying and just amazing…. Please do more pieces
Such a great approach to hearing/understanding & feeling the nuances!!
Beautiful work! Thank you.
I love the stretching. Such beautiful sounds.
Such Debussy vibes with Nahre’s piano playing. You and Nahre knocked it out the park with your collaboration,Rick. Great stuff!
Bravissimo to both of you! Very compelling!
Very nice piece Rick!
Beautiful job on this piece of music I love it and it really highlights the beauty of the scale.
It's strange and interesting how as an Indian from southern India I started learning vocals on this scale.
We opt for this scale because learning it trains one to jump half ful and one and a half steps.
We call it Mayamalawa Gowla ragam
Astounding. So to you that scale is a normal scale, in same way C Major is US?
@@dannyhood8857 to the point where western tonalities sound a bit bland to us (no offence, its all just relative), heres a cool scale to try, take lydian flatten the second n the sixth n voila, just play it over a maj7#11 drone i'd say u'll get what i mean
we call it bhairav over here
@@nishantbora3608 Thanks man! Flatten the 2nd and the 6th lydian mode? Sorry I don't know modes, lol. But if it's lydian mode, and i flatten the 2nd and 6th notes of that scale , and play it over a Maj7 # 11 chord I'll figure it out. Cool , Thank you.
@@dannyhood8857 Since F Lydian is all white keys (natural notes), probably easiest to start there. F G A B C D E. Now flatten. F Gb A B C Db E. Now play over an Fmaj7#11 drone. F A (C) E B.
I LOVE these sounds. How can something so tense be so calming?
I love it when you share your own work. I wish you'd do more creation style content and bring us along for the ride instead of only dissecting other peoples work in the 'What makes this song great'. I also love the video's where you get other musicians in and record stuff, would love to a combination of those two style videos : ). You could call it 'Let's make this sound great' : )
O ho, NO...WMTSG is an integral part of Rick's programming. I love it because it gives me a new, different take on the music I've loved for years and lets me know exactly why I love it, and brings out pieces that my ear hadn't heard... I delight in WMTSG - and all for FREE!!! Mr. Beat9, PLEASE don't stop WMTSG; that series is what brings new people to your channel.
Sorry for the typo - it should say "Beato".
Truly beautiful and haunting sound. Thank you both so much for creating such a fun project.
The first time I listened to this it took my breath away. What a great lesson for anyone who wants to make their music sound "different." Growing up we've all heard major and minor scales and a few modes here and there quite extensively, but most of these were new to my ears. Beautiful work, and thank you Rick and Nahre.
Nice collaboration and creative composition. I've enjoyed both of your channels, and was nice to see/hear you together.
Been playing out of double harmonic major for years, so stoked to see something like this, thanks!
This guy! I mean, come on! Where were you 40 years ago when I started my dive into playing music? I may have kept playing the piano more instead of ditching it for the drums if I would have had a teacher like Rick. You are a National Treasure!
That was beautiful. I could listen to these pieces for hours.
So cool. Thank you for your work.
What a tremendous example of the power of music and how scales effect us - beautiful.
OMG, Ric!! So beautiful! Who knew such things existed. Hints of the magnificent and mysterious in the cosmos!
Those were really pleasing to the ear!!!
wow....awesome stuff, thanks Rick and Nahre, very inspirational!
I've been studying n breaking down all the modes to this. I learned it from this video video Rick!!! I would have never known any of this if it weren't for you!!! Thank you!!!.. this video I saw years ago still breaking it down and how it layers over traditional western modes..such a great composition and explanation.. changed my life!! Can't thank you enough!!
Same study here!! I find it so awesome..I really like Combo chords with both systems since it's actually 9 notes being used.. sounds so awesome.. plus leave alot of room for alot of ways to progress from one to the other.. same w harmonic minor (and relative modes)
Thank you! You have helped me tremendously with my understanding of scales and modes. As with many things in life, if you live with it a while, it starts to make sense and understanding follows.
Can't get enough of your original music, man. Wouldn't mind a video about your writing process and how you came to certain decisions along the way.
MAN MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED..THIS IS WILD
Awesome piano playing!
Exotic scales like this are very expressive! Love this Rick, great music and vibe!
These compositions are amazing !
Wow, I had a flashback to my music theory classes during junior college in 1983-85. This has rekindled an interest in immersing myself into relearning these scales & modes and applying it to the guitar. Thanks Rick! I gotta say I like your TH-cam channels. BTW we’re a year apart in age, and we like a lot of the same music. God bless!
Awesome sounds. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Rick, thank you. That’s great!
That was awesome bro. Gave me the feels. So dark!
Super cool Rick thank you!!
Modern classical music at its finest. Love the visuals too. Thanks Rick for sharing.
Wow! Sounds like what a deep psychedelic experience feels like. Love! much love!
Thanks so much for teaching and sharing!
Wow, that's a beautiful soundtrack... beautiful Double Harmonic Major modes !!
Fantastic piece and playing. Thank you for the inspiration.
Awesome compositions.
So cool Rick. I got my notebook out for this one. I will be lost in the rabbit hole of creativity for the rest of the day now. Thank you for that👍👍
I love Hungarian minor! It’s amazing for metal music. I found it in a scale book several years ago. I never knew what the relative major or the other modes were called. Thank you. Awesome composition. Cheers!
Same! I discovered the hungarian minor few years ago and liked to add it from time to time, in complement to the harmonic minor. Didn’t knew it was a mode of the double harmonic major scale!
Really enjoyed that, thanks.
Love this, it's quite beautiful and I just learned something
Very cool and appropriate for spooky season!
Discovering (thanks to Rick) the other parent scales (and their modes) was, for me, one of the best things I did in terms of opening up a whole new world of creativity and ideas.
Incredible video ! New perspectives to write music ! Thanks a lot !
Wow. Speechless. Thank you.
Haunting, daunting, and just in time for autumn...
Kinda digging it, especially the Ultraphrygian 😉
Great!! Love it 🤘🏼❤
Just in time for Halloween! Thanks Rick!
Beautiful....opens some doors to explore.
What a beautiful sound you both made. Complex composition made pleasing and fitting to listen to. Reminded me a little in parts of the late great Keith Emerson, and in parts awesome background music for a suspense or horror film. Well done both of you.
Wonderful music. Great video editing, as well.
Beautiful !
That was amazing!
Thanks for the video Rick, very interesting
I love this!!
These last two videos you've done on exotic modes have been insane, Rick. These sounds are mind blowing.
love your videos. thank you
These are modes I'm just now starting to learn. It sounds amazing in this composition.
Kid A / Amnesia had a lot of this vibe your exploring. I find new melody’s and hear the songs in new light so often.
I really liked it Rick. Evocative. Loved the video you pieced it together with.
^*you’re exploring, not your ^*melodies, not melody’s
@@spanqueluv9er really? Auto spell strikes again. I’m not 5….55’, can’t see what I’m typing. You’re bagging on me dude!
Hey rick, in indian classical music double harmonic major is called raag bhairav, you should check out raag bhairav’s compositions. One of them named “jaago mohan pyaare”
Nahre Sol plays this so flawlessly it almost sounds like MIDI. Great performance!
Now that's an insult if I ever heard one! :)
Sounds much better than that!
@@peterschaffter826 I meant "almost sounds like MIDI" as in that her sense of time is very good. It doesn't sound like actual MIDI, it's a real piano in the video not the VST that we all are familiar with.
Tell a pianist they sound like midi and you'll get your ass beaten
Beats the heck out of major pentatonic scales 😂. Very interesting and smooth sounding to my rock ears. Almost classical but more melodic
Thank you Rick for always giving us something new to chew on.
This is some serious, high end, top shelf sh**! OMG! O_O
Rick! I love you! 🙏🔥❤
Be Blessed Young Stud! And what amazing, blazing fingers on the piano!!
Whoa! That was really cool!
Beautiful music!
Ahh this again. Loved it once love it twice! Would really appreciate seeing Nahre play it though 👀
