Great vid! Fun fact: The scale being played at 7:02 is actually an old scale in classical Japanese music that was once the backbone of many popular and folk songs in Japan up until/through the early 20th century. The scale comes from the tuning of the strings on a koto, and a few well-known 20th century composers have given their variants on the tunings/root note, but they all follow the same pattern. If you're wondering what gives old Japanese music a certain feeling, this is a good place to start. 😃

Same. I actually started on the keys as a kid, but thanks to an awful music teacher I had my apreciation for the instrurament beten out of me, so for the next 30 years I played bass and gutiar. Then around 15 years ago I filled in for someone on the keys and.... really enjoyed it. So I play that too now, and somehow I got .... goodi..ish at it?. What I noticed is how differently music theory *feels* on a piano. its much more explicit. You tend to actually think in "What scale is this? How do these chords fit together?" kind of more on the surface reasoning than the deeply intuitive but occasionally not always as theoretical way one might with a guitar. Its two very different ways of thinking, and I love both. But often if I;m on the guitar and I'm trying to sus out a deeper insight into what I'm playing I'll transfer it over to the piano and let THAT part of my brain take over the analysis.

Adam, 35 years ago, I was a white suburban high school kid who was very proud of my eccentric taste in music. I played bass in the school jazz band and sang in the jazz choir, and very much wanted to love jazz, but struggled to find common ground with it. It just didn't speak to me. But still, I listened. Late one night, driving home from the club alone, I heard a 14 minute song that changed it all, and to this day, it remains one of my all time favorite pieces of music. The 1958 recording of Lush Life by John Coltrane who hands it to Red Garland, and then to Donald Byrd all backed by Paul Chambers bowing. Performance aside, Lush Life as a song really is unique in all music. I'm so happy it still has that effect on younger players.

As a guitarist, I’ve always had a hard time with inversions and slash chords, cuz most guitar chords are already some kinda inversion. The specifics are often less important on guitar than the piano due to the physical layout of the instrument. But the slash chord examples you can are intriguing ways of reconsidering chords.
@FacePomagranate 4 жыл бұрын
On guitar, you really don't need to worry about slash chords that much if you're playing with a bassist. You might be playing a D chord where F# is your lowest note, but as long as the bass is playing a D below that, it's still a root position chord as far as I'm concerned. When you're trying chords in different positions, I just call them different voicings, rather than worrying about the inversion (of course, if it's solo guitar, then you can get into that sort of thing).

Not to classical, but baroque definitely. I have played bass in a string quintet and for a metal band and they are nearly identical. The sonic role's are filled the same way to. There is the bass foundation, 2 mid range parts. The only difference sonically is the singer's. Typically there were now singers in the baroque, but if we turn to power metal the singers fill the space of a quintet's volin player. Also check out the video where rob scallon used midi on a pipe organ. He used a metal band and it pretty much sounds like Bach.

Well, the forefather is really blues and also "Folkmusic".Can really feel the Folk influence in Old Metal song like from Dio,Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple,Bands who are today not considered Metal anymore.The thing is,Metal music began to emerge in the 70s,and alot of the music in that time had like a "folk" vibe, you know what im sayin?

Adam. I really like your channel. I find the topics interesting and oftentimes very insightful. I was therefore a bit surprised about your opinion concerning the banjo. Not that I think your opinion about the unlikely return to popularity of the instrument is unfounded, but more surprising was what seemed a dismissal of the instrument itself. I personally feel the banjo, in the right musical hands, can add sparkle and even melancholy to a tune. And Americana music-and the banjo and its technique-are an important part of a rich and important legacy that is foundational to many genres in our country’s rich musical history. Thanks for the time and information you offer.

the slash chords always messed me up (started learning piano) because I was thinking the reverse and it always sounded weird.. C over E I initially thought it meant play a C note "over" an E chord.. thank you for clearing that up

American Primitive played on banjo should definitely become a thing again a la George Stavis' fantastic album Labyrinths (or Sandy Bull's banjo pieces). As a matter of fact, Gwenifer Raymond (who is an incredible player in the mold of Fahey-esque American Primitivism) has a few banjo tunes that are just as fantastic as her acoustic guitar tunes.

After watching this video I was inspired to write a piece on “/“ chords only allowing myself to change chords using chromatics (whether chords chromatically falling together or individualized notes within a chord), or octave jumps. Thank you for inspiring me to challenge my composing skills adam.

Thanks for this video. Elder stuff. Great explanation of the whole tone scale. Great explanation of slash chords, I thought I probably understood it but I wasn't really sure. After listening to your explanation, I think I basically had it. It's a chord plus a bass note, however that's a performance note so it might actually be something else that happens to be performed in the same way. I know you think the direct lineage of metal is more from blues and folk traditions than from 18th or 19th century art music; and I think you're entirely correct on that. But I also think that when metalheads say that, they're either thinking of neo-classical metal specifically, or else they're using 'classical' in an extra-loose sense where it includes baroque. I think I hear lots of links between baroque and blues and folk music and thence right through to metal. So I'll try to give you a good question or two for next time: First one is short, is there a definite order to inversions? Like first inversion, second inversion, exactly what does that mean? I understand the concept of inverted chords I'm just not sure what the cycle would be. Second one is more of an essay question. It's an old trope that when you get into a good music school the only worry is you'll lose your soul. It's more complicated but I think there is something to it. I don't dislike jazz, in some cases it is just so good - but I'm a little uneasy with it. Because it's this sort of tunnel thing, that only people who have worked on listening to it appreciate. The more I appreciate it, the further I have gotten from the mainstream, the less likely they are to understand what I like? Is that how it works or have I missed something? It seems like at some point 'advanced musicians' risk coming to a point where their musical perception is so sophisticated there is no longer any audience for their compositions outside of other musicians, is this something you think about or try to counteract in any way when composing?

I love the way that a whole tone scale suddenly pops up in the Bacharach arrangement on his song "Alfie" (Specifically the Cilla Black version). That whole recording is a masterpiece of tight arranging. From quiet, reflective sadness, up to epic emotion, and down again in 2 1/2 minutes. Just breathtaking.

I knew the answer to exactly one of those questions and I feel like a real pro for it. It's a tiny victory but I'll take it. So often I as a musician I feel uncertain - as though I don't know what I'm doing. A lot of the time that feeling is warranted so the instances where it's not are things to be celebrated.
