As someone who has a relatively decent grasp on music theory, harmonies have always been a grey area. They’re almost dependent on genre and definitely dependant on vibe, which could almost be dependant on the individual. You’ve managed to bridge the gap and I thank you for that!

Appreciate this tutorial. I often focus on 3rd or 6ths (above or below) and only resort to an occasional 5th/4th if any of those combinations somehow doesn't sound right. Considering chord tones make more sense.
@DreamPurpleFloyd Жыл бұрын
In old school death metal they use a lot of parallel 4th harmonies, both for riffs and melodies. But yeah, it doesn't sound "sweet" or "melodic", but rather "weird" and kinda "sour". But I dig it a lot, especialy if the main line already has a weird sound in the first place. I guess parallel harmonies are like really strong spices: great taste but if you use too much of it I might just ruin your dish.

And I find myself, a drummer, watching this and paying every drop of attention that I have. This is actually so useful. Even tho I'm a beginner at guitar, I did have to take care of a lot of keyboard work while recording the latest record of one of my bands, and at times I struggled to find notes that perfectly fit the songs, a lot of times having to simplify and dumb down the synths and keyboard parts. Thanks for the content, man! Really appreciate it 👊🏼🤘🏼

Wish my drummer would try to figure out wtf going on beside beating the fuck out of my studio set and thinking every song needs double kiks and blast beats for every song. We're drums and low tuned guitars are up front now a days, don't leave alot of room for bass so that's tuned down to subsonic noise. I gave my drummer some guitar gear and guitar so he could figure out that the song is not just for the drums the guy wants to be a guitar player to understand something other than beating on things to make a complete song, kudos to you for wanting to learn.

@@fabianvasquezjr8852 thank you so much, man! 🤘🏼 I always try to understand at least the basics of the song. I studied classical percussion for 8+ years and that included playing in an orchestra and various ensembles - playing pretty much everything but a drum kit - so I naturally seek (at least) a basic understanding of what's going on. Melodies and harmonies have always been my weakness tho. I'm quite confortable around rhythm, but I feel out of my zone when I have to build harmonies, that's one of the reasons I found this video so helpful. I always encourage other drummers to learn other instruments - not necessarily become a pro at some other instrument, but learning enough so you can follow what your band mates are doing. I think that that alone already brings a different awareness to the drummer when it's time to listen to a guitar part and build a drum part for it, independently from the music genre!

Also remember you can mix all these techniques in a single song/ solo. For example if your solo start with fast melodic line you can use diatonic thirds; then if the next line is more evil and dark, try parallel 4ths and parallel minor 3rds; and then if the next section is more of a slow lyrical melody, you can use chord tones! And also a little bit of counterpoint can go a long way and create a nice surprise for the listener.

Good video! I didn't see difference in playing slow harmony'and fast harmony'? Are the harmony notes in this solo mostly 3rds? Root,3rd fifth?. When sustaining notes playing 'simple' melody, use notes from the chord? Is that same formula as Root, 3rd, 5th? I'm playing basic major and minor chords. Great examples harmonizing 4ths and 5ths.

Don't know theory I don't know some of the names of chords I use in my songs, doesn't make em unlistenable. And I really don't give a fuck! There is nothing new under the sun. Not to concerned about whanking out leads through a whole song gets old fast. There was a time when there were no leads but it's for the song not just the lead to make the whole song. You could play like Eddie or Jimi but if the rest of the song suxs what's the point? No thanks bro, that's why everyone sounds the same. There was a time when only a very few knew how to rip out leads like it was nothing and people wanted to be like them, now everybody and their 9 year old Asian neighbors daughter is a guitar prodigy and gramps down the road can play leads from his metal days, well when everyone can be a whanker, and there are no guitar heros then it becomes all the same. If nothing sucks it all sucks!
