[@austinrmoser]

They may not be the best for writing entire pieces of music, but for a phrase in a guitar solo or just one riff in a song, they are absolutely wonderful.

[@Surgicalshred]

Yes, I completely agree. Just a little splash and it takes a phrase to new heights. Use sparingly!

As a metalhead, this is some of the best shit I've seen. I knew about diminished 7th for a long time but never knew how much I could get from them. That lick you played is seriously worthy of the best metal bands. Stellar. Thanks man!

Yngwie Malmsteen - Arpeggios From Hell

[@maximelelouarn3985]

That piece is fucking hard

[@christiandeuer2425]

Reminds me also at the beginning from Cavallino Rampante from YJM

[@CommanderJP1]

Someone just found malmsteen

[@flixization]

Great vid! The first moment I was aware of this kind of progression was in Opeth's "The Leper Affinity" around the 3 minute mark. Thanks for breaking down just what's happening with this "briny bubbling demonic sound" (awesome description).

[@brickroundhouse4298]

really reminds me greatly of the Castlevania score to the video game from the original NES.

Ive been dabbling with guitar since my teens....(I'm now 40++ lol) playing " by ear and what sounds good"....after picking the guitar back up I wanted to truly learn and have been working on acalea learning the fret board correct and a much. I came across ypur channel today and am blown away at the way every thing you teach is explained in a way to not only understand but grab the guitar and start working on the lessons and see it all come together......got a new dedicated follower today great lessons!!!!

[@stuntchystrutch]

I’ve been on YT a long time and have never subscribed to anyone, I’ve always been in extreme death and blackmetal bands. Vocals/guitar. As I grow older and my hair grays I’ve opened up to more writing/listening styles. I dig your “teaching” method and your radio! voice is calming to me. I’m subscribing to you in hopes that after tomorrow or maybe the next day (the time I’ll dedicate to watching your stuff) THAT you’ll continue posting. Cheers buddy!

[@gedwardjones]

Testament's "Confusion Fusion" from Practice What you Preach is an entire song written using Dim7 arpeggios.

[@DepressingHappyMusic]

You my friend are one of the best teachers I’ve ever came across. Thank you for all your hard work, we all appreciate it 🙌

[@thebubonicj]

Wow! Satan seems like a nice guy.

[@Jinx-iw6zb]

Yeah he shares his knowledge What else do you need from a devil

[@Dyadactic]

I'm Batman But my Christianity is against sharing.

[@Jinx-iw6zb]

Promiscuous Dope Fiends Official I know that and it's ok

[@Ripprock1]

God did create him. And arpeggios. HMMM

[@Jinx-iw6zb]

Ripp Russell but he never bothered to share it

[@Roam865]

You're the absolute man when it comes to your videos. Well spoken and not confusing to watch or learn from.

[@ryanohlson4181]

Great lesson! One of my favorite players, Jeff Loomis, uses Dim7 arpeggios a lot. My favorite example is from the solo in "The River Dragon Has Come" by Nevermore. It uses a repetitive pattern of these arpeggios alongside some chromatics in a way that works out to be really musical and a great fit for the song.

[@metallicaspiker16]

Jeff is God in human flesh in my eyes LOL. I wish I could turn back time and discover his music again for the first time.

[@mikeivey8471]

The end piece sounds like a Mario Bros. castle level piece of music !! Awesome !!

[@rip1255]

Man your channel is a friggin gold mine in youtube, you deserve so many more views.

[@lionescu4770]

Great demon-stration!

[@kabisikletamba142]

EVERYDAY YOU ARE MY MORNING COFFEE! EVERY MINUTE IS FULL OF LEARNING! THANK YOU! I CAPS ALL BECAUSE I GET EXCITED!

[@deloreanized]

Amazing how at 5:46, the superimposed screens disappear and... that hanging painting on the wall hits you as the analog response to the "4 screens in one" you used to illustrate the cluster of arpeggios. When "So that is what all four harmonies would sound like" met "So that is what all four harmonies would LOOK LIKE". BOOOOM!!!

[@Beaverjag]

They are great for beaking up melodic lines and reconnecting backto them, like crossing a dodgy rope bridge across ravines to get to the other side.

[@andrewmichaels119]

I NEVER comment on videos. I’m not even a guitar player (I play drums, learning bass, and I’m starting to compose) and I absolutely love your videos. The content is great, really knowledgeable and applicable. Not only that, but I can tell you’re really passionate about teaching, and I love seeing you have fun with it with these silly intros. Please keep it up! If I have any recommendations, I want to learn more of the modes of harmonic and melodic minor. Thank you again!

[@BlakMuffin]

I've learned more from watching your channel for a day than I've learned from 12 years of music lessons for four different instruments. I'm in shock that you don't have more subscribers, man.

[@sainandanramakrishnan4812]

Megadeth - Skull Beneath The Skin intro is a great metal example.

[@zoz2124]

The break of Bad Omen too :)

[@temjoesat3643]

The only KZbin channel I love to watch everytime... even when I sleep I use to listen to his teachings!... Awesome Jake!! Love from Nagaland_ Northeast India💕

[@GogiRegion]

I’ve heard this exact sound before with the m3 interval sound, and I’m so glad I now know exactly what it was! I think I know what to add to a song I wrote a while ago…

[@flocfn93]

Between the Buried and Me - Augment of Rebirth intro came instantly to mind after hearing the first arpeggio run. Figured out its secret with no prior knowledge of its tab. I'm proud, thank you, Jake!

[@zenrobotninja]

I love how understandable you make all your videos,as a beginner it's really appreciated

[@aptelbruno8316]

Every experience leads to freedom ! Thank you Jake.

[@tommywho924]

Been working on a song and have a section that I knew was bland and missing something. I think this is exactly what it needs. Subbed. You're a kickass teacher.

[@Leto95Relinquished]

Thy Art Is Murder uses these a lot. It's cool that they have created so much content out of this kinda limited scale.

[@kevinpatrick4670]

THAT COMPLETE PIECE WAS A MASTERPIECE!!! WELL DONE YOUNG MAN...

[@Deguoren96]

There is a Band called Viremia they also use a lot of diminished Arpeggios in a quite cool way. Some Parts of your piece really remind me of a more soft Version of that band . Nice Video as always

[@Jeff-hy1eb]

Hi, Jake. I think you did a good job of discussing some of the things that writers and players can actually do with diminished seventh arpeggios and patterns in their music. Thanks for a straightforward, useful video.

[@whitefantom]

I just subscribed a few minutes ago thanks to a different video, but if I hadn't, I'd have subscribed purely on the basis of this video's thumbnail alone (Legend is my favorite movie of all time :-) )

[@noeconti3000]

Your videos are absolute GOLD for me ! Thank you !

[@annupborrge6273]

Just loved your teaching jake 🙏

[@ryanduray1]

Just recently found your channel. You were born to do this. Thanks for all these great videos.

[@purradin]

Your instruction is top notch as always. You have helped me progress faster than I ever could just messing around on my own. I kinda want ro reguest an instructional for the solo to Bark at the Moon. It has been a long time goal of mine to nail that whole song but I am stuck on the last half of the solo. Thanks for the vids so far!

[@daywalkermike]

Testament started this diminished stuff and it sounded cool as f.... ( Take a listen to "Confusion Fusion" from the "Practice what you preach" album ) A few years later Cannibal Corpse and app. 99% of all brutal death metal bands used it. It sounds dark, chaotic.... just utterly COOL !

[@UnpopularOpinionsbyJay]

Dude, these are super entertaining and EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you!!!

[@misfit151]

Brilliant lesson. Instant sub. Thank you so much .

[@ericwatts50]

this is some great stuff man!! keep it coming!!! it's amazing how much this reminds me of the harmonic minor scale

[@colinreynolds01]

Great video bro. Isolating those small shapes is really perceptive - that's exactly the kind of information that intermediate guitarists need.

[@JoshCentauri]

This got to me in the right moment! Great video!!

[@colbycran4472]

One thing I like to do with diminished arpeggios is go up with them on a song to build suspense and then going back into a mode or letting out a sustained root note at the end. It sounds wonderful, anyone reading this should give it a try :)

[@blastbeatdown]

It’s useful in death metal and other subgenres of metal that favor ugliness and evil. I’m not a music theory expert by ANY means but I’ve come up with some cool stuff using minor 2nds, minor 3rds, and tritones over the years. It helps that I play that kind of music lol. It’s also useful to note that you can use perfect 4ths and 5ths to move around without adding “color”, so it preserves the chaos you’re creating with the evil internals.

[@debayanchakraborty9033]

The piece sounds like dream theatre .... Thanx man!!! Really helped me.. always thought about how can I use dim7 sound !!?! I think after watching your video , some ideas grew in my head...

[@czt1dave]

Testament’s “Eerie Inhabitants” comes to mind...

[@nathananton12]

That intro was a feat of creativity that will go unmatched for millennia.

[@AnAmericanComposer]

>a minor third is three half steps That is only half the definition. It also needs to be three pitch-classes apart, too. F-Ab is a minor third; F-G# is not. F-Ab-B-D is not an Fo7, that's an inverted Bo7.

[@SignalsMusicStudio]

You're absolutely correct. I accept all criticism towards me when it comes to my disregard for enharmonic equivalents. I'm going to be making a "disclaimer video" shortly that mentions how viewers need to balance my approach towards music theory and this comment will probably make an apperance. Long story short, I skip over many important theoretical concepts in order to get people writing and making music as quickly as possible. I can't rationalize spending time explaining enharmonics in a video like this where I just want to demonstrate a dim7 arp built off F.

[@AnAmericanComposer]

Signals Music Studio As a music teacher, I can respect simplifying a complicated topic to quickly explain it to people new to the subject. I'm glad you actually know the differences and aren't just misinformed and talking about something you don't understand, something I see far too often on KZbin. I look forward to the bonus explainer video!

[@nicolamorales7081]

Ab and G# are literally the same note. Fo7 and Bo7 are literally the same chord. You just want to criticize. Lame.

[@AnAmericanComposer]

@@nicolamorales7081 They are not "literally" the same note. Just because they share the same sound doesn't make them the same note. Diminished harmony is difficult to get right and it's understandable to get parts of it wrong but that doesn't mean that just because two chords sound the same that they are the same chord.

[@MB-rc8ie]

@@AnAmericanComposer "Just because they share the same sound it doesn't make them the same note". Could you please explain this? Isn't the note just a the name for the sound (frequency)?

[@2scrimble9]

Love you! This video helped a lot since I write death/prog metal (atleast trying to) Your channel is pure gold!

[@sadisticpenguin5095]

Awesome vid! The sound of these really reminds me a lot of Jeff Loomis's solo from The River Dragon Has Come by Nevermore

[@OzkerOpethFreak]

This is basically a video of how play like Jeff Loomis but like the simple way! Lol It's awesome though! Jeff just stretches the fuck out of these licks!!!

[@peterptchronic9696]

Ah so this is this trick to writing almost every technical death metal solo I've ever heard. Very cool \m/

[@TIGERGUTS]

Blotted Science! Great lesson! SUbbed!

[@Zerorjcrystal]

Another great lesson and explanation. the arpeggios reminds me of the scene in crossroads, the guitar battle with Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai.

[@SendyTheEndless]

Sounds like endgame boss music >:)

[@GigglebunsUV]

im sure some zelda game has used this, maybe Links Awakening has.

[@Evangelionism]

*RUN, CHRISTIANS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES*

[@hyalinamusic18]

I first heard harmonized diminished 7th arpeggios at the end of the first solo in The Leper Affinity by Opeth. It's got a cool vibe when used in context like that.

[@ParengGeorge]

Good day, I dont know if this will get to you but so far this is the most understandable lesson for dim7's. Pleas put tags in this video because whenever I type Diminished 7 it does't appear on the results. Please put as much tags on this video as you can coz this is really helpful. Thank you! More Power!

[@mitchell.colbert.113]

Another awesome lesson! Love these vids. Hilarious intro :D

[@roberthancock2563]

This is awesome! Thanks for the great lesson!

[@amaymon33]

I love your channel 🙏 such a treasure trove of knowledge on music theory

[@Cain_Abyss]

This is one of the best guitar lessons I've ever had. Thanks man!

[@kelleytm57]

Great delivery of ideas New sub

[@NelsonBlakeII]

That was super fun. Same basic topic: can we get a Necrophagist lesson?

[@AtlasCompleXtheProd]

This pretty much was that lol

[@metallicaspiker16]

Phrygian Dominant is the most common mode used in Necrophagist’s music, specifically in their guitar solos.

[@jclefbouncyrock]

Great video - thanks for the lesson!

[@PsychedelicCheeseburgers]

Definitely getting Mario / Bowser vibes from this, really cool sounding!

[@axelcarvalho2661]

Vow, cool technical brutal death metal stuff! The first band that crossed my mind was Infant Annihilator, but in reality there are tons of them.

[@Wintris]

The whole time of this video my mind was screaming „Rings Of Saturn“. Thanks a lot for the elaborate explanation.

[@buddha12ism]

Awesome video, great job!

[@N8zerDude]

that was a really creative intro. lmao. was not expecting that. made my day

[@painlesstragedy]

2:22 I do the same thing on my guitar except on the 2nd string instead on moving up that 1-4 position up 2 frets I keep it 2-3 and back up a fret 1-4. And it sounds great like virtuoso dragon force like sounding shreds an asian guitar wizard i met at the Guitar Center taught me this and I improv on it for years gets even better when you add HARMONY, Octa effects with delay. then you move the whole thing up a fret and reverse it move up a fret again and back again same way. I do a Legato roll with these notes that sounds great that's the IMPROV I did to the magical Scale. It fits perfectly with HARMONIC MINOR stuff...Now I'm far from a guitar Wizard I'm Novice compared to a majority only cause my failing memory condition holds me back and nerve damage from my dog bite attack which stuck with me my whole life and the fact I'm left handed only able to play RIGHT handed guitar as a result. Watch my video you can see the first melody is very Angra/Power Metal or Stratovarius sounding. It's harmonic Minor my specialty and I came up with it one day and was like that sounded really good so I use these ideas when writing music granted I'm playing it on an acoustic guitar cause my amp blew finally so no Strat this time but that's okay...You can see how wizard like this SCALE/RIFF is played, Granted this is not my faster playing I'm alot faster on my Electric Guitar but it may teach you something, You taught me something today, so I return the Favor Graciously friend. Once you get that FORMULA you can make that same melody sound so beautiful in many ways. I have this new riff too that is great it's like 6 notes per sec 12 note legato/pull off riff that can be played anywhere and speed up your playing by alot. it's played on the 3rd or 4th string position 1 34 the 34 on a lower string then you stretch the 1 34 the 1 of that phrase we'll call it to -1 or 0 while doing the stretch on the 34 legato the same way. so 12 and 12 and then you move it up 4 frets same thing...genius I call it...pure genius. GOLD...I have no idea where that riff came from to me one day...but I love it and yes I will make a song with it soon >_

[@pentapandamusic]

A tritone in it, very nice!

[@alvaroangulo8854]

BEST videos! Much love!

[@zakbarlow6460]

I am absolutely appalled at how long it took KZbin to recommend your videos to me.

[@In-Ear-Studio]

You're a nice teacher :D ! Keep up the good work.

[@ryanchappell1506]

that intro was life changing

[@Hexenhammer]

Jesus, man. I finally have a use for Diminished. Never thought about it enough, so thank you!

[@WindBendsSteel]

harmonize a diminished 7 with an augmented 7! that sounds totally badass

[@Filpiovano]

Most of the harmonising examples sound like something you'd hear in a NES game from the 80s like Castlevania or something. Though 6:31 reminds me of The Residents. Love it!

[@bodhisattwachanda3436]

Major seconds arpeggios with harmony sound just like the Rings of Saturn... awesome...

[@mason87104]

The first place I ran across a dim 7 arpeggio was in Allman Bros song In Memory of Elizabeth Reed at 2:35, and yes it is harmonized.

[@GigglebunsUV]

i love how simple this is, and for such an amazing sound too! thanks for the lesson!!

[@angelaavalon]

Haha! I’m convinced that the diminished 7th is the secret chord that David played. And as I recall, God was quite fond of it. 🤣

[@johnfollis2357]

This is a cool lesson. Next you should try this out and make a lesson using Augmented Arpeggios.

[@Babs42]

Cool I have this diminished run that's on the 1st and 2nd strings in one of my solos using part of one of these patterns and I never thought about harmonizing it. It's mainly in harmonic minor.

[@wyattwahlgren8883]

One time in band class, we were doing the chromatic scale, and he made us play it with that chord. It was really interesting to say the least.

[@metalpiper]

Really really great video. I love the way you explain the "evilness" in playing something so randomly cool. Just another badazz tool for the book my brother!! Cant wait to put this in some of my original wacky evil tunes...lmfao. Much love coach!

[@jimscobie6646]

Fantastic, Jake!

[@e.goeke_]

Born of Osiris played with this scale a lot in their album The New Reign (or Eternal Reign which is a revised version)
