A good example of tritone modulation is in Bohemian Rhapsody. The transition from solo to opera was a tritone apart and they modulated using a long , decending bassline

The Ministry of Lost Souls by Dream Theater employs a tritone modulation of sorts in the outro solo, but also uses chromatic mediant modulation to connect the original key and the tritone key. It starts in A minor, transitions through the chromatic mediant of C minor, and then into Eb minor, the chromatic mediant of C minor. So the ending is a tritone away from the starting point.

That last sequence using borrowed chords as a segue to enharmonic keys sounded like a Brian Wilson trick at first blush. I have to give you a ton of credit my man. I have been playing guitar for over 30 years and can play a number of other instruments that I picked up along the way, but I have learned more interesting and highly applicable bits of music theory in the past 6 months or so from just having subscribed to your KZfaq channel - than I did in the first 6 years of my playing the instrument.

1. Ex is actually enharmonic to F# with 12 tones. 2. Notice that the tritone substitute of a key has chords on both notes immediately adjacent to its root, then move up a semitone into the V of the new key.

@krawfish822 жыл бұрын
The Ab would be a chromatic median but, chromatic median chords can be great for modulation. The voice leading is usually super smooth and you can get to just about any key. Chromatic medians are some of my favorite chords to utilize. I love how the voice leading usually works out. You can get some very cool and interesting sounds with these chords. If you like augmented & lydian tonalities, chromatic medians are your friends.
@EclecticSceptic4 жыл бұрын
Totally agree about direct modulation. You should always feel free to just 'go for it' and see what happens, rather using the intellect immediately. Often it works or you can make it work, but perhaps in a way which you can't understand in terms of your formal understanding of music theory.

As the F# is a tritone away from C, which means its the same distance if we go up and down. Can we modulete down three whole steps as well as down two minor thirds? So the modulation would look something like: C - Bb - Ab - Gb or C - A - Gb
@sewerynhabdank-wojewodzki44034 жыл бұрын
Nice video! I must admitt I was doing even easier. I took just those tones/notes, which are only in common and use only them. In your case: F B, but to give it more texture, I would use F octave 3 (F3), B octave 4 (B4) and F octave 4 (F4), this will create a kind of unison F over B. This can be done also B3, F4, B4 - unison B over F. Or a bit tricky to play on Guitar, but possible F3, B3, F4, B4 or B3, F4, B4, F5 - either as 4 tone chords or arpeggios. Additionally I recognize, that this modulation even if is quite smooth, creates tension, but played over 2 bars (instead of one) removes tension. I am not saying is the best solution but worth to try :-).

The easy way: Finger a note on any string except the G string. Then go up one string (higher in pitch), then one fret higher. Your two fingers will form a diagonal. This is a tritone. If you start at G, you have to move up *two* frets. (It's like playing a basic power chord on two adjacent strings.)
