This is excellent!

He's gonna challenge you to a guitar duel.

Oh. Damn it. I am a keyplayer and percussionist. My guitar player has been down for over a year now. He is attached to an oxygene machine and cannot play, so I use samplers and strum machines in Reason instead. I am good at programming those, but I guess it ain´t allowed?

Just do what the RiggedTalk guys do..

Grab the audio clips from an impressive guitar player off some random audio clip hosting site and pass it off as your own.

Oh and for what it is worth. You can know tons of scales and theory and still be bad at melodies both in terms of generating them and people liking them, and you can be self taught without much theory and generate wonderful melodies to people. Praise or blame your brain for it. Theory and practise can inspire your brain, but first and foremost listening to the music your brain likes wil make itl remember and reframe. Theoretical knowledge can inspire, help break boundaries, try new things, but it does not guarantee that catching melodies will ever be your thing. That would be same as saying that people with theoretical knowledge make better melodies, which is not the case in terms of popular songs and tunes.

Or else...?

And if you watched it you would know it doesn’t disagree with anything you just said.

Except for its title, which does not cover what I just said. The tool is your brain, and it does not need theory to make melodies. Ask your mom or anyone else if they can hum up melodies.

 

[Gothi]

For example, with a title like “Interval theory - A tool to better understand your melodies”, i would have thought “cool someone cares to teach that on YT”. No tranformation from scales to melodies by tools in that one. Safe and secure. Ain’t rocket science to be precise..

Jesus, that would be one long-ass title.

Thanks for sharing this guy, Andy. I watched the one you shared about plateauing from him first and it was good, as was this one.

The reason I like his stuff is he talks about harmony and note choice not technique. He also knows what he is talking about and plays great.

I worked as a researcher at universities for 26 years. You have seen nothing yet, trust me.

The best practical theory channel from my experience is Dani (Marbin) and the best technique channel is Troy (Cracking the Code). There are plenty more that put out great content but these are universally excellent. No matter how good you are there is always more to learn.

Grammar.

Ill have to dive in to these guys more. Since quitting my band last year I've decided to focus on developing chops and musicality.

I just came for the fight and there wasn't one. 1/10 shitty thread (but excellent video thanks)

There was, it just seems like one person was arguing for a completely different topic.

Thanks for posting this @Eagle. Fascinating.

WTF is that cream thing on the back of his Tyler? I kept getting distracted while staring at it.
