Who's your favorite composer? 🔴Secret Trick For Composing TAB: www.patreon.com/posts/32307871

Some day. Years in the future. I am going to die. And when I walk through the gates of hell this man is going to be standing there doing that laugh, telling me I got sent to hell for following his advice and using a tritone.

Hidden gem of the guitar KZfaq community

The secret to composing is to imagine a good song in your head, and then write it down.

Sleep paralysis but its shredmaster scott just laughing in the corner of the room

The "Yngwie example" sounds better than anything that Yngwie ever wrote 👌🏼✨

You should make a solo album man! I think that would be sick!

That camera shaking when you hit the disonate notes was killer

Bookmarked this for whenever I get stuck with writing. This helped me write some nasty riffs I wouldn't have made on my own. From the bowels of my intestines, thank you!

Greatest channel I've discovered in music. No lie.

Man, your films are getting better and better. I'm starting to learn so many helpful tips because of you. Thanks :D

"They didn't practice Sweep picking for 10hrs/day, they practiced composing for 10hrs/day" (Shred [Master Scott]) I love you. I had this fucking problem for the first 3 years of my playing that I was centered around inventing new techniques, the emissions I wrote from grueling time and inspiration lasted maybe a month before I wiped them off my cock. Just a year ago I decided to care a LOT less about inventing techniques and I have a full song from that period that I still enjoy playing almost daily, and only 2 weeks ago I wrote a song (with newly learned singing) that I might keep till I'm in my 40s

Man you are the first youtuber I am seriously considering becoming a patron, you kick ass dude

I'm a new subscriber .. I'm 41 years of age .. got a degree in music 20 years ago and been teaching guitar since then also piano for 5 or 6 years .. a huge metal fan and love to compose as well.

Schoenberg is the metallest😈. Shostakovitch's string qrt's are pretty metal.

Hey man, felt like saying that your videos are a big inspiration for me to keep learning the guitar. You know your shit and are hilarious. Keep shredding :)

Still baffled you don't have more subscribers, I hope you hit that snowball soon. You are more than deserving good sir!

Dude, your videos are getting better and better. Not just the content (which is extremely relevant and needed), but the editing and humor are going to keep people watching. I'm betting your sub count is going to explode soon.

Man I gotta say, I really like you approach to this guitar shred thing. I have hundreds of hours practicing technique and going nowhere. I'm gonna use this to get inspired and finally do something creative. Thanks for all the inspiration

My recommended composational techniques are to shred high notes through a 32" subwoofer, and also chugging drop-D riffs through a tweeter.

Thank you so much for addressing the transitions between sections that seems to be one of the most neglected aspects in a lot of the stuff I've been watching and it's something that I really struggle with so, thank you!

You’re like a metal Adam Neely

Nice, I really liked the piece at the end. All of this video was great advice. Thanks man for sharing your knowledge, you really make it digestible.

That part at the end is literally the most Progressive Metal jammed into a single minute I've ever heard. Well done!

Best channel on KZfaq! Shred is a beast!

That neoclassical lick outlining the chords reminding me of the intro section of "Cthulhu Dawn" by none other than that filthy cradle lol Cradle of Filth, love that sound. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥 hey Shred, im a new Patreon btw muahahaha 👹

SHREDMASTER SCOTT WHY R U CALLED SHRED NOW ITS NOT THE FUKIN SAME

How come this guy only got 50k followers??? 🤯 this is amazing work right here! 👍🏼🤘🏼

You know your stuff shred, recently subscribed, love the channel content, its actually useful unlike a lot of other things I watch, Im guilty of practicing techniques for too long so this made total sense, you should release a full step by step theory course covering everything, as you seem to know it all and I'm sure there's plenty of us that would be interested.

This really resonates with me dude really agree about the technique/concept limitation to build something around. Also your track at the end sounds very One Winged Angel/Final Fantasy in general good stuff

Thanks for the lesson. This is what i needed. Ive seen shredders on vids playing all tons of crazy (yet boring) guitar parts. But when I compose myself, its just simple and melodic. But I want some techniques in between. To make a nice flavour. Thanks for your realistic attitude, which 90% of other guitarist can wrap our head around. Thanks! :D

One of your best ever vids Shred. Really inspiring. Cheers from the UK🤘🖑

I love how much you incorporate music theory into shredding and how approachable you make the topic! I would love to see a similar video to this one but focused on improvisation over chords and your approaches to it. Especially interested in how you chose to use "triads", "arpeggios" and scales, also how do you choose your leading notes and last notes when going from one chord to another. Love your content and your energy! keep it up! you are awesome!

I just found you and love this channel. Love it. Really. Thanks for all this stuff and the value you provide..

That G dorian riff with the descending chromatic transition with the hesitation on the last two notes was the kicker that made me immediately throw money at you. Never heard anything like that.

Holy shit, I cannot unhear Symphony X on that final composition. Awesome as hell.

Ive been play guitar for 12 year steve via and Guthrie Govan Vernon Reid and Jeff skunk Baxter we're all my guitar teachers I went to a guitar Academy in Saratoga Springs known as via Academy number one you sure describing concept that great guitar heros describe to me all those years ago when I was 17 year old. thank you for reminding me of everything I love about guitar and music this was a masterpiece and you deserve recognition. Its was inspiring to see an artist plays instrument you're talented !

This video just blew my mind.. better stop sweeping 🧹

You need more subscribers!!!! Underrated guitarist!!!

My goooooodness that jam was absolutely killer 🤘

I remember trying one of these and I really liked the results, it was awesome You should do a whole course on composing techniques

transition material is crazy important, do you by any chance like Opeth?

Your videos have given me SO many ideas for composing, I'm wanting to upload some of the counterpoint ideas I put in practice from your videos.

Thanks, Scott! I love your "quickly composed" song at the end, too!!!!!

Good stuff man. I didn't quite understand all of it, but good stuff none the less. Thanks! Nice guitar by the way.

Dorian is my absolute favor mode to write in. Im also glad you mentioned rhythm. As a guitarist, its easy to focus too much on harmony and melody and not enough on interesting rhythms

I'd love to see a whole video breaking down just one of these techniques.

New subscriber. You’re a great teacher. Thank you fir the content!

Thank you! I'd love to see if more composition videos.

WooooW !!!! That was a useful lesson! Thanks man!!!

Shred! My favorite composers are Prokofiev, Wagner, and Vivaldi.

Thank you!!!!! Very helpful. Your content is always killer!!!!

Perfect tips. Starting from our own sound or a target soung help us to get focused and realise.

The music at the end reminds of Mayan, especially the tritone chords

This really gave me a lot of ideas for writing new music thanks 🤘

I posted a bunch of shit I thought would be helpful but then I watched the rest of the video and you got them so shiet. Nice one.

Great summary of very useful techniques for composing, O´Diabolical Master. Here´s a curveball: Blending metal with folk,- here in Europe it´s been a style for the past twenty years,- Celtic metal from Swiss Eluveitie (listen to Rebirth and Thousandfold for examples), Balkan metal in odd meters( based on the meters of their traditional folk songs: Balkan Gypsy etc- Jinjer-Pisces and Teacher Teacher are good.places to start), Viking metal with the melodic riffing from the likes of Tyr ( Faroe Islands) and Kati Ran - Suurin (Dutch/Norwegian/ Finnish,- as Metal as it gets and not a distorted guitar in sight!). The question becomes: Song structures: II-V-I, I-V-VI-IV, I-IV-V,- how to use standard structues for melodic metal writing blended with the characteristics of, say, US Folk music,- ie Bluegrass Metal? Country Metal? Blues Metal?,- or are they already covered through Southern Rock and Dark Country? And finally: How to make all of that diabolical? ( Love living in the van btw.- miss the wife though...)

"In all seriousness, the secret is..." and that's when I expected to be Rick Rolled. Bit disappointed I wasn't, now that I think about it.

Very helpful lesson thanks Shred

very knowledgable and funny as usual. gold

Awesome lesson like always Master !!! I think a good video lesson that could be really useful for all of us would be on how to setup the metronome for recording, in my head I was counting on your final composition a 4/4 maybe around 70 BPM? But you played fast and slow, that was very nice, could be helpful for when we start recording the bass a backup guitars. Thanks Scott for the great lessons, have a wonderful day Brother.

2:44 i remember i watched this video over a decade ago....still waiting for them keys awesome video man . alot of these techniques i actually use while composing , but awesome , i feel like iv'e learned a thing or 2 :)

Amazing as always

Hod bless the shred master for shining his light on us mortals

I'm at 2:02 in the video. Decided to pick up my acoustic to follow along. Realized that it's tuned in DADADD because I'd been trying to make it sound like a sitar. Since I had two octaves of power chords to pedal on in the bottom 4 strings, I thought I'll let my ears and feelings do the decision making and started playing a random scale on the high D strings. Came up with a tune that seemed to be on the D F F# G A B C# D scale, which felt oddly celebratory. Turns out I just reinvented what they call the Shoolini scale here in South India in the carnatic classical music tradition. Thanks to your video I already feel inspired to noddle more! Now I need to watch the rest of the video 😁 Edit: In hindsight nothing you said in the video had anything to do with what I just noodled. But hey, inspiration can come from ANYWHERE 😁

Appreciate your vids brother mane.

Nope, Bach is the most metal composer. Paganini was a shred-god.

Ufff all the information you share is great!

Your guitar style is awesome, I love your composition

I hope David Gilmour sees this. He'll approve of it.

Wow, it sounds like some epic shit like Final Fantasy final boss theme, awesome!

excellent video. your very knowledgable and talenyed my friend

Love this content dude

Favorite composer would be Arvo Pärt.

That laugh is fucking amazing.

Found your channel super recently. You remind me a lot of my music theory teacher from high school. Sub’d and binging videos.

Very helpful! Thanks.

Awesome, thanks 🙏🏾

Loved the phrase about composers back then. The concept about training for creating music is amazing, IMHO. I myself always loved music, but couldn't quite get familiarized with an instrument for several reasons. But I never gave up, because I had a feeling musicality can be expressed in many ways. You can feel musicality by ear or playing something. Nevertheless, not only feel, but you can always think about musicality and analyze stuff with the proper mindset to create new stuff, just like philosophy. Great exemples, great video and great song! Cheers \,,/

Another excellent video Brother

I don't even play any instruments but now I'll be able to create sick music in my own mind... Ha-ha-ha-haa!

That Gilmour / Dorian section sounds very like Ihsahn from his solo stuff. Noice!

Steve via. Haha! I don't know. Mozart has always been my favorite.

"... in video game music a lot..." *8-bit Music Theory* wants to know your location

The shred master has answered our prayers

thats what i needed

awesome video man! i discovered your channel yesterday and im glad i did, u put out awesome content! btw, ive noticed that quartal harmonies are also common in japanese piano songs, like the soundtrack to Spirited Away

I just purchased a music book of Bach today, i guess yesterday now :)

You're addressing some really interesting and much needed concerns. I recently came across your channel, caught myself coming back. You just got yourself another subscriber. I appreciate what your doing.

You blow my mind BRO! I just keep getting more and more confused lolz,!

I don't like fwarkin dohnuts alright "Pantera, watch it go"

I really like your evil laugh.

dude!! awesome

I wish Schoenberg was Swedish. It would be a lot more fun to say his name while imitating the famous Muppet chef.

he looks like naughty version of the samurai guitarist

Great fucking video!! Inspired right off the bat!!

you are awesome dude

Best account on youtube

Great content and song 🤘🔥😬🔥👍
