    man i relate to what you say so much.. like ive been self taught and i always was capable of writing full songs basically from a improv standpoint.. all metal and progressive at heart but i wanted to be able to expand and build off what i was creating and then start doing leads/solos..so this past year or so i been writing songs and learning all the phyrgians dominants... its litrerally opened my eyes so much.. ive recorded about several hundred full songs in the last year and just being able to listen to them and how almost all of it is different even though im basically playing the same notes but in different order/ speed.. an being able to hear all the little tricks i pick up as i keep practicing an how i incorporate them techniques without even realizing it till after.. idk man guitars so awesome.. it always amazed me how were all playing basically the same 6 strings and 24ish frets but yet day after day new music is created.. such a great thing to be able to express oneself through playing and creating music!!!

    @Tessitura9 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fascinating, and yet makes perfect sense. I did my undergrad in music (violin) and jazz utilized the 7th and 9th quite a lot. We first learned about it during the Impressionist period though (ie: Debussy). I remember being super excited hearing those very colorful chords in classical music and then hearing how jazz just built upon them. It's only natural that most of my playlist consists of prog metal/ rock. Really enjoyed this.

    "In the progressive world, everyone has the attention span of a bar and a half"
    Certainly true for some bands, but definitely not classical or "roots" prog/prog metal. That said, variation within a progression, melody, etc, tends to be a more classically orchestral way of writing (as well as jazz in some cases), and is probably largely what draws people to progressive music.

    • @Aethrius
      @Aethrius 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Rohann van Rensburg I'd say Dream Theater can have the attention span of a bar and a half sometimes. Some songs sound like they're trying way too hard to be complex instead of making something worthwhile (plus fuck the singer)
      But then you got Porcupine Tree or Tool that don't do that (except the drum parts with Tool), or at least not as much.

    • @RohannvanRensburg
      @RohannvanRensburg 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eh that's true. I think there's a time and place though (no reason to box music in to overly simple form) -- what does redeem DT in the end is that they are absolutely capable of writing in simpler structure, and have a vast array of music that fits this bill. The Dance of Eternity is a fun song, but it's largely because of the context it's in. I would agree that I don't like the 30 second attention span bands that define themselves based on this.
      It's sort of like in classical music -- Schoenberg was a master of tonal writing before he delved into atonal music. The contemporary efforts are often irrelevant to the culture of music as a whole because they live purely inside an academic bubble, and I'm convinced a good deal of those composers can't pull often tonal writing like older composers could.

    • @akalichamp7030
      @akalichamp7030 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Braden Spencer what’s wrong with labrie? He’s my 2nd favorite vocalist of all time tbh. He sounds kinda cheesy in his own right but he’s the perfect fit for DT. And attention span in music isn’t bigger = better, I get the idea a lot of tool songs go for but Jesus Christ they are absolutely the most boring shit I have ever listened to in terms of prog music. A good balance is easily preferable, don’t create a 2 dimensional pop song that has no bigger picture as a whole piece, but also don’t bore me to death with some overly dragged out atmospheric bullshit.

    Maybe you could move your backlight a bit higher.

I think it would separate you better from the background and look more natural if you could shine it from above. :)

    • @9greg5
      @9greg5 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jinzo9988 nope, it refers to the 7th and 9th note of a given scale. You should go check out some theory video.

    • @ecaepevolhturt
      @ecaepevolhturt 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is some theory for people who are a bit confused and want to know more (if you already know or just don't care then that's cool, ignore this comment).
      There are two kinds of 7ths intervals (diatonic), a minor-7th of a major-7th. The 9th is the same for a major or a minor scale. I'll show you an example in c-major and c-minor -
      C major = C(1), D(2), E(3), F(4), G(5), A(6), B(7), C(8), D(9), E(10), etc
      You can see clearly that the B note is the 7th note in the C major scale and that the 9th is a D note (the same as the 2nd but one octave higher).
      C minor = C(1), D(2), Eb(3), F(4), G(5), G#(6), Bb(7), C(8), D(9), Eb(10), etc
      Now the 7th is a Bb, what we call the minor-7th but notice that the 9th is still a D.
      So for C the major-7th is a B and the minor-7th is a Bb. I hope you can apply this to whatever key you want. Also the 3rd, 6th and 7th intervals are associated with the differing major/minor diatonic tonalities. It gets more fun when you look into modes, tetra-chords, the melodic minor scale, etc.

    • @762Faneto
      @762Faneto 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I noticed it was a i VI iv iii progression as well. I guess that is the reasoning behind choosing a major 7th with the B chord because that is what works with this progression?

      @devanshtyagi1403 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A power chord is ambiguous, it sits in a neutral zone. Prog musicians love adding colours to power chord with these extra notes in the scale and that makes it ambiguous with a feeling, like the majority of people who like prog feel inside 😖

    60 seconds in I thought “we’re gonna get the add9, aren’t we?”. Add 9 is the power chord of progressive music haha. I probably love them a little too much, tbh. On guitar they come with the extra bonus points for gnarly looking hand stretches too ;). Every guitarist remembers the first time they saw tabs for “Every Breath You Take” and thought “wtf? Why? It sounded so simple on the recording!!”

      Plus its a ton of fun to learn!

      Stick a tc electronics wiretap recorder on your pedalboard. Or use the phone app for acoustic stuff. Works a treat and you don't have to fluff around setting up noodle tracks in your daw.
