first guitar theory I understood completely

[@sleepforever8378]

Lol music theory is so confusing

[@alexjean175]

Beautifully explained. Thanks so much for this man. Also it's refreshing to see a guitarist in KZbin actually look like they're genuinely enthusiastic and enjoying what they're teaching. Cheers boss

[@skyler-bluwhitaker2710]

Very well done. Very refreshing. Honestly bro, this is my favorite thing I’ve seen you do. I really hope you put out more content like this man! Keep it up!!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

[@markcaesarjolo3693]

Always loving your guitar playing, Ray. There's just so much joy.

[@_anthsucks7186]

It's awesome that the #4 can sound so heavy, yet in a Lydian context, it sounds so dreamy haha.

[@Wedontdeservedogsbro]

Love when you guys make videos like these. Thanks!

[@nilfux]

Learning this is like trying to figure out which room to clean in a mansion. Just pick a room and start cleaning. Thank you bro.

[@liskydog]

[@Lolthatyoulookatthis]

Thanks man! The seventh was my favorite one 🤘🏼can’t believe I didn’t know that one after playing for years

[@metalheadofsweden1742]

Very cool video🤘🏻

[@loganmars8333]

Very useful lesson man

[@mobilemetal4554]

I love heavy and I also love melody.

[@KainiusTheGreat]

BRO! YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE MY BRAIN GET IT! I've been trying for years to figure out that Minor 2nd and Major 7th sound. I owe you a beer (or soda if you're a non-drinker) for this! (Funny story, I call one of the Minor 2nd notes "The Godzilla Note" because it sounds like Godzilla screaming....the opening to Sepultura - Propaganda is the exact notes I think of....also, can we all just take a moment to recognize Roots, Bloody Roots as the first modern Djent song? It's 95% opens, 1's , and 2's on the 6th and 5th)

[@SuperJiggawhat]

Thank you for making this video.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey happy to help out!

[@SuperJiggawhat]

@@xanderraymondcharles I really do appreciate it. I've had opportunities to learn this, but it ust never clicked with me until now. You are a great teacher man. Have a great weekend brother. 🤘🤘

[@thegodslayer8545]

Thank you

[@electron7373]

Dissonance of the devil :) Cool tut.

[@BHarveyProduction]

Could you do this again with compound intervals?

[@raptorman69]

You absolutely need to get white ink tattoos on some of that blackout sleeve it'd look sick.

[@ernestkronberg]

🔥🔥

[@CasualProductionsGuitar]

Dude do you do private lessons (if this is mentioned anywhere I apologize for not thoroughly checking)

[@xanderraymondcharles]

I do I do. Hit me up on IG

[@PriceUndead]

Ima try it

[@henbah3488]

That really helps

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thanks for the feedback!

[@shredbacca]

ive already been using these and i didn’t even know it. i didn’t learn and music theory or nothing like that have yet to learn any scales just my favorite songs is how i learned the guitar and ive been using all of these just because i found out they sound cool lmao

[@user-sf8mu4pl2j]

Low fi pedals can create that creepy old radio static sound for other ambient effects as well, 📻.

[@tactical_riffs9094]

You still doing lessons this month?

[@EXSENTRIX]

🤘🏼

[@plussizeriderlifeshardbike9318]

Can you play this in drop?

[@pump1442]

Wouldn't the minor second be the same as the major second? Both scales have the same second not from the root. I was always told that a half steo up from root is a diminished second.

[@aswang9665]

Super simple yet effectlve tutorial you’ve made. Congratulations I’m gonna subscribe it. 666

[@aidanoliver8209]

Another commonly used source of evilness in metal music is the augmented chord.

[@philth89]

Major sevenths are equal to minor seconds moving backwards (inverted) and vice versa. They are almost one and the same in a way. major intervals inverted become minor intervals, Maj2=min7, min3=Maj6, Maj3=min6. You'll have to excuse me, I'm just fascinated by the patterns that emerge in music theory 😊

[@moonlapse_vertigo]

Good way to remember the inversions, for me, is that the number combos always add up to 9. Like, a 1 is also an octave (8th) major 7th is minor 2, perfect 4th is perfect 5th, etc.

[@SamBrockmann]

One thing you didn't cover that can be heavy is the 7th (aka "b7" or "minor 7"). In A, it's A and G together. Now, add the b5 and the b3 (Eb and C respectively). Play A, G, C, & Eb. Enjoy!

[@joeycastle1997]

Correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t it be a Flat 2 not a minor 2?? I by no means claim to fully know what I’m talking about but I’ve always heard it referred too as the Flat 2

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

It’s either a major 2nd / minor 2nd or a 2 and a flat 2. In the end it’s the same notes. 😬

[@jcollell]

Atonality is the sauce of life!

[@cjbogannam]

SMR FTW!!!!!

[@jameskirkley3120]

Chuggin' tritones are the best.

[@XNamelessXNill]

7-13 is an obnoxious stretch I can't get XD

[@jameskirkley3120]

Might spook the kitten back outside.

[@jameskirkley3120]

Gross hell,only to preppy Gucci lil' puppy wuzzit.(wuss).

[@KeepTheGates]

7 13? 12 8

[@aidanoliver8209]

7 = B note (on the high e string [the thinner e string] 13 = C note (on the B string) ^Minor 2nd interval This combination is dissonant and does not feel resolved.
