So glad to see people using the last mode of harmonic minor!!!

[@robmandel3413]

This might be the single best metal songwriting and composing video I’ve ever seen. This is beyond awesome. It totally makes sense and I can totally see exactly how it connects. I do understand modes and all that. But never figured out how to truly use them. Seriously, this is beyond amazing.

[@andrewboothmusic]

Wow, thank you! This concept always seemed so obvious to me but I haven’t seen anyone else talk about it. I hope it brings you many songs

[@HellionSol]

Please keep posting videos. You are able to explain your method so clearly and consicely I feel like a fool for not doing it already. Riffs always sounding so fresh and inspired, glad I found your channel man

Will do! Thank you for being here watching. It makes me happy to see that these videos are helping people. We’re still just scratching the surface

This is everything ive ever wanted in a guitar video

[@juankraks8754]

bro these tutorials are really helping with my song writing, the las video of intervals made an idea that was in my head for a long time come to life, but can i ask a kinda specific question? when i write i generally have problems with rythm and making or using or finding rythm themes or do something that feels groovy or just that rythmically makes sence, specially because i am in the proces of writing a tool'ish track so the rythm themes are really important and i wanna make a main riff that fits the song and the other stuff that i alredy have so yeah.

Check out the songs Atropos, Zagreus, or Dracul Gras by Periphery. All three of these songs are essentially derived from one core rhythm that has been manipulated.

@@JupiterJones0424 true, also reptile and ragnarok are like that, i think i will try do something like that thx

That’s awesome! And that’s exactly why I decided to start making these videos. On the rhythm thing, try these steps: 1. If you can’t already, learn to read and write standard notation. At the very least, the rhythmic element. 2. Practice translating the rhythms of songs you like into standard notation through transcription. 3. Over time, doing step two a LOT will allow you to understand the rhythms you hear in your head more clearly which will give you the confidence to use those rhythms because they will no longer feel “wrong” or “unclear.” Bonus step 4. Spend some time transcribing your rhythmic ideas into some kind of notation software with a playback feature. The playback will tell whether or not you accurately notated the rhythms in your head. Like step 2, as you get more accurate doing this, you gain more confidence and clarity in your rhythmic ideas. Step 2 is also crucial to develop rhythmic vocabulary, which is necessary to create original ideas If you ever feel like getting some more hands-on help with these steps, I do teach private lessons!

Awesome! What tuning is that? Is it also pitch shifted down?

[@andrewboothmusic]

Thanks! Yeah, it’s drop c pitched down an octave
