How To Create Apocalyptic Chord Progressions

[@crvstalfiction]

Thank you! Longtime songwriter but the piece about stacking minors and poly chords just opened the floodgates

[@beesoftheinvisible4021]

Love the quick spinal tap reference

[@_AT41]

Glad to see you getting outside the diatonic box, and especially into chromatic mediants. Major and minor chromatic mediants are easily among the most interesting kinds of changes, and underutilized in most music (especially popular music).

[@ditchgator1]

"Hey You" immediately comes to mind...? Very useful lesson😎👍 😎👍❤🖖

[@RandyBakkelund]

Love it man! That sounds pretty blackmetal to me! I like the melodies you added on the chord progression too

[@jackhayesjackhayes9158]

I love the sound of those ,pretty cool when you're wanting new ideas.

[@eearts]

Absolutely beautiful work 😊🎉👍🙏🏼

[@myguitarjoe]

I played this thema last week....Dmi Bmi and so.Your videos are very helpfull for me.I started make ambient music 1 year ago.6.35 fantastic.

[@davidlegalley1161]

Excellent Lesson Antoine! Definitely set the "feeling" of uneasiness and dread!

[@flamecrew9atroblox958]

Love the enthusiasm. Thanks for the videos. I love music theory. Still learning.. but ill get there.

[@laurabassino6721]

4:00 it also the same as in Pink Floyd's "Echoes"

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Yeah, Pink Floyd is a trending topic on my channel lately :-) thanks!

[@carlsalazar4490]

You always present things that I never would have thought of. Great stuff.

[@craigpaulson3503]

This is basically the only type of song I write....well that along with some extremely heavy death metal metal guitars. Love this lesson.

[@charlarge3555]

So many great storylines from this progression!

[@8L0ND1E_WOLF]

Definitely using this for writing some doom metal riffs, excellent video

[@krystofpolansky7785]

thank you, clear explanation, beautiful music and also very pleasant tone of guitar

[@mgtowdragonslayor8075]

Another great lesson man!

[@stevesmith3990]

Great lesson Antoine, just what I was looking for. That finished piece you played reminded me of something by Steven Wilson from his Grace For Drowning album - love that album.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Oh yeah, definitely! Thanks Steve :-)

[@electricwhiterabbit]

Yes, I think you mean the song Belle de Jour. I think it is in Am. Great track. It sounds so sad and dreadful but so beautiful...to me anyway LOL.

[@stevesmith3990]

@@electricwhiterabbit yes that's the one.

[@jeshuranfrancis5606]

Excellent sir

[@drcockles]

Great video, thanks Antoine!

[@mrt77wv]

I always forget how suspiciously similar Phantom of the Opera is to Pink Floyd's Echoes. 😂

[@retnugdivad]

Suspiciously stolen...

[@alexplorer]

Roger Waters didn't fail to notice. He has a lyric referencing it on Amused to Death. To be fair, chromatic runs aren't that hard to compose.

[@Hades1980s]

I always noticed the same. Thought I was the only one lol @mrt77wv

[@FTStratLP]

Echoe - 1971 Phantom of ghe Opera 1985

[@x2mars]

Sounds great!!

[@josephblomeister3040]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us !!!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching, Joseph!

[@mjt11860]

Excellent! Thank you

[@cjbuk74]

Fantastic stuff !!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Many thanks!

[@WhereTheBASShasNoName]

I love Augmented chords and diminished chords

[@martindellasala5100]

exelente, saludos desde argentina

[@jazzfullanaguitar]

This is how I write my stuff!! Modal music is the best😜 Good topic, Antoine!👌

[@2giantmonsters]

Nice. Also try diminished and or augmented chords, and augmented 4ths corn increased unease.

[@andreasfritz6830]

Thank you for the door-opening lesson. What are you playing for the melody, scales, arpeggios?

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

I'm just improvising on a natural minor scale, changing on each respective chord (D minor scale, Bb minor scale, etc)

[@navigators8650]

first half of the intro sounds like the outro to blackwater park.

[@deth.thiana]

Great progression!👍🙌

[@michelereali_]

Ooh I used this technique a couple of years ago in the soundtrack of an amateur short film

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Very cool!

[@nageebabd-alrahman1536]

Beautiful lesson 👍

[@enricobuoso5171]

Very Opethy!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Oh yeah, Opeth are all over this concept!

[@okaxis]

The first progression reminds me of Freya's theme from Final Fantasy IX.

[@Bryant.Defiant]

Stellar 🔥🤟

[@alan_liveir]

very good, congratulations video Dude How do I do a SOLO, or improvise over chromatic mediants chord, what scales should I use for that?

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

I'm just changing the minor scale each time on top of each chord (improvising in D minor scale on top of Dm chord, improvising in Bb minor scale on top of Bbm chord, and so on). Thanks!

[@alan_liveir]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping I see, I understand, each chord you change you play its own scale, if it's a major major scale if it's a minor minor scale, right?

[@alan_liveir]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping When it comes to God chord or even chromatic mediants, does it work the same way? Cromatic Mediants or God Chords, is there a specific scale for these chords? or in an improvisation, improvising for SOLO that contains these types of chords, which scales should I use in relation to Cromatic Mediants or God Chords?

[@lazylegolars]

Ok that right at the beginning sounds like straight out of The Last of Us.

[@shitposter154]

You're a genius ha

[@dapeep6704]

Hi there what reverb are you using :)

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Neunaber Immerse Mk II. Awesome reverb!

[@urbanwarior3134]

Surfing that algorythm apocalypse is always gonna get suggested

[@carlosclaptrix]

I like mediants, esp a minor 3rd up and a major 3rd down. Sound Floydy.

[@flamecrew9atroblox958]

Im actually very good at doing this scary unsettling type music. The only problem is im not aware when im doing it.

[@FTStratLP]

👍This could be a Pink Floyd song from the late sixties/early seventies era.

[@ashamael]

I'm sitting here like, "Yeah, this is great, Antoine, but what's it sound like with a melody?" & you were like, "Hold my beer and listen to this!" It's like you read my mind. Great video as usual!!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Haha, so cool!

[@lxathu]

3 steps to write shivering music: 1) learn about scales and their chords as much as you can 2) forget all about major chords and about diatonic scales 3) start writing

[@nquerosaber]

so thats how opeth do opeth things

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Oh yeah! I have an Opeth lesson on how they make their chords if you want to see it. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn-XdISZf7KAhZY

[@tonybass1982]

When you pull some high gain on it. It become darkmetal 😂😂

[@HankCScorpio]

Sounds like Gollums Song + Pink Floyd + Goonies Spooky parts

[@HowlingUlf]

1:00 "Lick my love pump" XD

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

I waited to see who would be the first one to point it out in the comments. You were the fastest, congratulations ;-)

[@ZagrasNixillis]

Cool, you made black metal without distortion.

[@earthboundmisfit1819]

phantom of the opera = echoes pink floyd

[@tristantzara3995]

SOME BLACK METAL VIBES.INTERESTING🤔

[@efgdf]

Echoes of Pink Floyd have a sound like this

[@owlsonik37]

iron maiden made a musically career out of those chord ideas!

[@alasdairriddock5763]

Dm - The key of Lick My Love Pump

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@robhead22]

Awesome! Thank you!
