[@danwillson4080]

You guys should hack The Mars Volta!

[@roblosh8417]

I transposed the mellow sax (as guitar), drum, and bass section Tetragrammaton to MIDI and the way everything lines up is suuuper satisfying. That’d be great if they made a video on a part like that :)

[@satchrules101]

This is my mission right now in my life , getting a handle on time signature Shen writing my own music ! Great video!

[@Ammeo]

It amazes me to think how Tool produces such music cause its just way to different and way too good.

[@orchidcolors]

Thank you for teaching us more about polyrhythms. Hope you guys are doing well. :)

[@HackMusicTheory]

Hi orchidcolors!! Great to hear from you, as always :) Hope you're having a lovely August, and we wish you a fabulous weekend! Take care and talk soon :)

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Great post. More Tool please.

[@JustinNogle]

TEA! Thanks much guys! Amazing how staggering these different rhythms creates such a dramatic effect. Hope you're both doing well!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Inspiring

[@stu9000]

Love that you’re covering more Tool!

[@muhammadrezahaghiri]

Hello! I'm here to just say hello, I'm a bit tired (you know Fridays are off here, and I had a lot of fun and it's 1:08 AM of Saturday actually). Have a great time my friends!

[@HackMusicTheory]

Hello Muhammadreza!! Thanks for stopping by, even though it's really late! We wish you a wonderful sleep and a happy Saturday :)

[@peteylavoy2288]

Hello back to you buddy ! Hope you have a great weekend !

[@BhavyeJain]

Just discovered this channel and I see I have been missing on something great for the last 2 years! Great explanations put forward in a simple manner! Kudos!

[@mattvgyo]

Fantastic video! Subscribed! What DAW program are you using for this? It looks so user friendly.

[@mattvgyo]

Just saw in another comment, it’s reaper. Thanks. Please do more Tool! Pneuma, Right In Two, Invincible… there are so many to get lost in the spiral!

[@chucku.farley]

The bass sounds awesome. What vst is that?

[@HackMusicTheory]

Thanks Christian! The bass is from Steven Wilson's Ghostwriter: www.soundsonline.com/ghostwriter

[@HAZARDOUS88]

Thanks as always. So good!

[@mazb2528]

[@karaokeapocalypse683]

I was like 'TEA!!!!!1!!!' Now my dog thinks I'm an idiot

[@BenA718]

Another great video! Would love to see you guys hack some Blind Guardian!

[@HackMusicTheory]

Hey thanks Ben! We'll keep an ear out for new music from them, thanks for the suggestion :) Have a fabulous weekend and we hope to see you again soon!

[@HAMMERFOOT1]

Very cool... great break down....What about the 32 note double bass drum fill sections. (Feet only). Gives you one hellava cramp in your lower legs..

[@arminfatol]

Awesome!

[@funut2541]

Is the perfect fith functionally equivalent to the fourth ? is the major 2nd = mixolydian 7th ? minor 2nd and major 6th? ive heard something akin to this in music theory class and was wondering if you could clear it up?

[@LukeBass1000]

They are reflections of each other. Eg: C -> G is a fifth up but G -> C is a fourth down.

[@orchidcolors]

I'm not sure how to best answer this, but inverted intervals aren't really functionally equivalent. What does happen is, if you're on middle C, then you go up by a major second, you're on D. If you are on middle C and go down a minor seventh, that's also D. I hope that helps, at least somewhat. :)

[@craigemm5029]

Opeth Dignity next, please!

[@HackMusicTheory]

Hey Craig, thanks so much for stopping by! Did you catch our Opeth lesson from a few weeks ago? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKSqkmmGlK-torc Have a great weekend and we hope to see you again soon for more theory hacks!

[@Robosan4000]

Do you have a good reccomendation for videos/books on the basics of music theory?

[@HackMusicTheory]

Sure thing, we've got you covered! Download and read our free book: HackMusicTheory.com/Books

[@HackMusicTheory]

What artist would you like us to hack?

[@mrfluffnstuff1095]

Deftones?

[@Darfaultner]

Karnivool - We Are. I'm desperate to know how times his vocals. This song has a completely unique feel.

[@r.a.d.u.s.1157]

Animals as leaders.

[@jesperdiercks981]

Queens of the Stone Age

[@SethKelley]

Illenium - Beautiful Creatures :)

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Interesting

[@omfgwtfsourcream]

What is this software these guys are using?

[@clear_gray_sky539]

Subbed these tool videos are great !

[@PhilippeBlancR5]

Top 👍. I understand better now. Hope you are well 😎. Thanks for the great info. And. Happy weekend 🎵

[@sambuddhabajracharya9062]

Does tool make this type of music working out the theory first, or in the feel?

[@triffle69]

Sambuddha Bajracharya Like they said they feel first ... then comes the theory or it’s already in their genes ... I’ll vote for 1 &3

[@MrBLawson85]

probably both.

[@mrfluffnstuff1095]

Yesssssssssssssssss

[@stupid_sleazoid2]

please make something about King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard (mainly for the joke: Nonagon Infinity open the DAW)

[@bottlebowling]

Pete Yorn - Life On a Chain

[@jorgeramirez7489]

Very interesting video. Thanks a lot. May I ask what's the name of that software you use?

[@HackMusicTheory]

Thanks Jorge, and a warm welcome to the Hack Music Theory community, we really appreciate you being here! To answer your question, we use Reaper, which you can download here: reaper.fm Hope that helps, and we look forward to seeing you around :)

[@bw6138]

That reminded me of Mastodon.

[@dornomac]

I get it, but i don't at the same time. Like, is TOOL constructing the song like this on purpose? Or just like, jamming and then this is what happens? Either one is fine, however, the latter makes more sense to me.

[@emptycloud2774]

What's that intro track?

[@HackMusicTheory]

That's our music, which we wrote using the theory from Tool's new song :)

[@emptycloud2774]

@@HackMusicTheory nice
