Revocation's Dave Davidson - How to Solo in Odd Meters

[@beckoningoblivion739]

Dave is too good for his own good.

[@n0handles]

I think I heard him reference "The Lick" at around 5:10

[@Shid_pants]

N0handles LOL BRUH

[@blgdinger3]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@dethsyndrome2046]

for some reason I can hear the story that first inverted power chord tell its story, wow, Dave is the man!

[@RandyBakkelund]

I notice he solos with his bridge pickup in this. I do that too.

[@alexsharp3481]

not uncommon. lots of people do so

[@mrKRB64]

There are a lot of bends in what he's doing here and they "scream" a lot better with the bridge pickup

[@user-oy7gz5bf2h]

I had a friend in a metal band who taped his pickup switch to always be in the bridge position. When I asked him why, he simply responded: "Cause neck pickups sound like crap!". I switch pickups all the time, often mid-solo. It all depends on what I'm doing or what the mood is.

[@bestboy897]

dave is cool be like dave

[@MarkOctavian]

No. He looks too generic and boring.

[@rationalityfirst]

@Aaron, I'm pretty sure he meant his playing, not poser stuff like what you seem to be concerned with

[@NickGranville]

It's going good thanks Dave..

[@Escapevelocitync]

Shit I need to invest in some lessons with my dude right here!

[@cosmicsea89]

We will now address him as 'Your Excellency'.

[@deadasfak]

Dat tone

[@kevinmotti1155]

that jackson drives me insane

[@andthe4010]

I dont understand how his vidoes have so few fews

[@Stumpy801]

Just read that with an Austrian accent, the typo made it especially funny

[@andthe4010]

I'm Austrian, it wasn't a typo

[@thecouldntcareless]

I just found this confusing to be honest - lack of a drum track to define the groove, probably.

[@DariusFisback]

Anyone know what that intro was from? I'd like to learn that.

[@ilikethrash1]

It seems to be Arbiters Of The apocalypse on of their new song

[@ilikethrash1]

+Tony Thrash songs*

[@DariusFisback]

Thanks man \m/ \m/

[@alexsharp3481]

The intro is actually from Profanum Vulgus.

[@xXxThelegend27xXx]

@@alexsharp3481 I know I’m late but it’s arbiters

[@GregLopesArt]

And that's why theory bugs me. Why all this makes sense, and my slaughterhouse soundtrack solos are wrong? Yeah, they sound like ten pigs being murdered with a chainsaw... nevertheless.

[@Shid_pants]

Greg Lopes still sounds amazing to my ears

[@guillotinedeath]

KILLING TECHNOLOGY

[@squiddlyd755]

Second

[@Nickball97]

The solo would sound better over regular 7th chords. I don't care for "tension and release" or any complicated and unnecessary reason to use those minor-maj7 chords. When something is shit, it is shit, no matter how much you try to disguise it as artsy stuff. I know my theory, i love Dave and I respect him, but you have to know when a song requires a certain feel given by the harmonic structure (chords), and that solo clearly was meant for a more melodic and easy chord progression.

[@KyleMcMullan_Musician]

Nicolas Arango Yeah it probably would have been more consistant with popular aesthetic, but if everyone followed that, there would be no metal music. People can tollerate different amounts off disonance but there's no set limit to what is acceptable.

[@davidgarcia6796]

aScreamForYouAll exactly

[@murk4552]

Your first time listening to Jazz or Metal? Because damn your comment is ignorant.

[@Tesswrench111]

This is literally one of the best songs on the album, what are you talking about.

[@markymark-2]

I'm here first nonway???

[@JoeMama-dl3nh]

Gross

[@alexsharp3481]

I freaking love this guy's playing

[@TheMathMog93]

Same Soul of Cinder! His technical abilities, knowledge and use of theory, and in general sense of melodic progressions and song structuring is stunning!

[@alexsharp3481]

TheMathMog93 absolutely correct. I specifically like his use of the major modes
