This is great! Your examples of how to flow between different riffs or ideas or the explanation of a dead stop and how to best use it are all amazing. I would enjoy seeing more videos like this. Subbed too!
This is a real sweet video, with some of your coolest musical examples. There's a variation of the dead stop which is kind of like a musical anti jumpscare, where instead of introducing a new idea after the stop you introduce the same idea, but maybe with a slight difference, like a different drum beat. For me it helps me get more mileage out of one idea, but hopefully keeps the listener onboard with that feeling of getting hit with something different, but very familiar at the same time.
Thank you! I truly appreciate you saying that since the video took a long time and completely tanked haha. Yes! That's a great example. I use that on at least one of the remaining songs for the album. Maybe both.
honestly, a lot happens in arrangement. Pretty much everything. People should talk about arrangement more. what I do is >> once I have 3 idea's (minimum) / loops , then its critical to get out of loop mode. don't get loopitus . Getting stuck in a loop will kill the creativity or better said > make it stuck < soOooOOoo >> press play @ 0:00 and make the song tell a story. keep the listener interested the whole way. thats all I got
I'm a big fan of the deadstop. One thing you can add in certain circumstances is a short fade-in of the chord from the next part, it can make it even more impactful when used at the right time. As for feedback, for dummies like me it would be helpful to add some simple audio illustrations to your explanations as you speak (or in between sentences), for example at 03:40. And during the example you give at 04:27 maybe add some text overlay like you do at the end of the video. Maybe it's just me but I struggle with identifying exactly what you're calling attention to and when. Other than that the video is very well put together as always, and an enjoyable watch 🤘
Yes! Great suggestion! I actually do this a lot as well. Or I would sometimes also repeat the root note of the upcoming chord over and over and make it go from really quiet to louder. I think that builds nicely too. This is super valuable feedback. I will try to be a lot more clear on what I call attention to and when. I've actually noticed this before in older videos that I struggle with it too haha! It's so obvious to me in the moment, and I have the whole part/song clear in my head visually when I make these videos.. but then that fades with time, and I approach it with a fresh perspective, and can feel a little lost. So, I'm really glad you pointed that out, it's very helpful.
@@heitstrengningmusic Yeah it's a very common thing to have something obvious in your mind while working on it, but not so much when you get back to it later! I've experienced it too :) It can help having someone watch your video before release, if you don't wish to wait several days to "test" it yourself
Well, well. It seems I've found my new favorite channel to get ideas and learn.
Wow, that is so awesome. Thank you so much. I'm very happy to have you onboard!

@@metalmilitia980 Thank you so much! That means a lot, and feedback like this is so helpful for me when it comes to planning future videos!
The examples are great! It's always great to see and hear examples. And I should utilise the deadstop too! Cool concept!
Thank you! And awesome to see you watched the video! Hope you're having a great day!

@@tdtrecordsmusic I love it. Definitely agree!

@@sloenmusic Just having you bring it up is already a huge help! So, thanks again.
ya know that is a great idea... reminds me of wise words i've heard >> never take your instrument out of your hands
