impressive! key/scale shifts can be tricky, especially with a backing track that seems relatively static (no theory expert here, could be totally wrong lulz) either way kudos! great track :)
@StormFaction1 Thanks Storm :D Key changes are as easy as moving the same shape to a new place that it doesn't typically appear. For example a lot of the key changes in this song are simply moving the same scale up by one fret. Anyone could do it, most of the sounds in this song are experimental.
@StormFaction1 You can do it man. Anyone can I'm telling you; if I did it then so can you. The point I was trying to make is that half of this song is just taking the same chord and moving it to wherever I feel like it based on how I like the sound of it. And that's key changes hahaha.
@BlikeNave I don't recall ever saying I couldn't! haha. nah I'll have stuff up eventually but I go about in an ad hoc kinda way, gonna minor in theory later this year :D
@StormFaction1 Nice. I was just encouraging you because you said "Idk pretty much anything about theory." Do you play an instrument? Or are you just learning the ideas:}
@StormFaction1 I don't know anything about anything technical. I just went to the store and asked "What do I need to get my playing into a digital format on my computer" and they told me I need a USB-interface. I got an M-Audio one for like 130$. Plug in your guitar/bass into the front, and the back has a USB that goes into the computer and it's about as easy as that. Good luck and message me the songs if you get em pumped out in the future, I'd love to hear them. :D
@BlikeNave Yeah I used to tune it like a seven string with a low B and then a High A but that "a" string kept snapping under bending so I decided to stick with the normal extra two low strings (G# and B). If you mess around with the right frequencies, those low strings sound great with a bass in the same octave. Yeah Schecters don't feel as thin an Ibanez but they are not like a baseball bat either. They are just right.
@slashsslayer97 Check the play list on my page Slashslayer and you will see my "Jazz Metal" playlist with the other videos on there. Jazz Metal 5 will be out within two months I'm sure.
@SanyaRandomNumber543 A majority of the chords are major sevenths. They sometimes have a flatted 5th or a sharp 4th in them (same thing), and this gives it a darker sound. The other chords are pretty limited to Minor 9ths and the hendrix dominant 7 #9 chord. But like 80% of my chords are major sevenths haha. I like to put them together in unique ways so that they sound bizarre and unique though. Thanks for watching and the feedback :]
@Tsoglani55 :D :D :D Good! You can have fun and become great naturally if you enjoy it. Just keep playing and your skills and musical pleasure will snowball on themselves and continue to grow until you just ride on your own music that you love to hear and play. You are too nice.
@mrfatski Thanks Fatski. Honestly if I could do it then so can you. If you just play around for fun a little each day then you will gradually get better and enjoy it too. Youtube can help you learn anything! Guaranteed that you could do it :]
@kylepardueish The jazz in this song is from the harmonies and theory, as well as the chords (made with four notes from the scale instead of three like usual). Thanks for watching Kyle.
see i know like absolutely no music theory what are fourth notes and fith notes, i do have 4 songs on you tube i mean i know how to change keys but idk what key im in, but listen to running from the shadows and if tommorow never comes tell me what u think, and if u like those listen to the other 2
@kylepardueish Learning theory will help but it's not necessary. I just learned the scales and that helped me understand and see where I am on the fretboard.
yea i think i'm doing alright without the theory, this shit is absolutely beast by the way, but so basically what your'e doing is changes scales almost constantly correct, this video is absolutely beaste by the way!!!
@kylepardueish Ya. My favorite thing to do is change keys/scales. I love this because there are twelve possible notes in our musical alphabet. If you stay in one scale you are robbing yourself of five notes. By changing keys you are essentially broadening the musical letters (notes) available to you, and more notes = more words (chords/harmonies) to be spelled and heard. Basically changing keys gives you access to previously unobtainable notes, melodies and harmonies.
yea see i don't quit understand key change like that i just like take scale notes and move them around the guitar see i don't even know the musical alphabet and i don't have internet at home i use my friends internet,so no online lessons for me
@kylepardueish Key = Scale. If you learn the major scale inside and out that is the best starting point that you can have. To change keys it's as simple as moving to a new fret and playing the same scale. You can get a thousands books from anywhere, the library or music stores and they will teach you the same things. Just practice the major scale in one octave and try to learn where all the notes are and what they sound like. That will be the best starting point. That's what I did anyways.
well with how bad ass u are, i think i'll do that, do i need a music theory book, or what kinda book am i looking, for,and also taking some notes from a scale and moving them is key change as well isn't it say like 7 9 10 and then moving it to like say 10 12 13???
@DreadCrawler You can do it too man, just practice and it'll come naturally if you enjoy it. Just work with the modes that you like and know and you'll be set. Thanks for the encouragement :]
@JustSh0ut Thanks shout. I am always learning new theory and substitutions, and each new block of theory I learn I usually apply it in a new video. Jazz Metal (3) is in the making. Thank you!
@JustSh0ut Learn the scale that you like the sound of. If you want to learn music theory I'd say start with the major scale. It is the basic scale that I learned everything from. My favorite scale is the lydian scale, and you see it all over this video. Learn the scale that you think sounds the coolest or has the best ideas in it!
Bro your playing is sublime. I hope to get to where you are in a few months to a year. I don't know any Lydian or Majors or anything related to that. All I know is power chords, pentatonic scale, blues scales, tabs of my favorite bands or songs or just whatever sounds cool or pretty. I also have an understanding of harmonics and alternate picking with very little legato and sweep picking. I can play blues and mainly metal but both are fairly easy. Jazz is what I want to master like Guthrie Govan
@blackblurable :D Pentatonic scales are 5/7 notes of the full scales/modes (like lydian). You are very well off, musically. A very strong foundation. You don't need to know the scales to play. Just learn the things you like. I just love lydian scale so I spam it all the time. Keep practicing man and you'll be where you want to be in no time. I'll PM you with how to learn some of the pentatonic tricks that I know. You're on the right track man! The technique will come with time.
@BlikeNave it is.. you use chords with the same bass tone in them, but each time different chord type, which results in possible usage of different scales while soloing. you have to be fast and have experience with this and im still working on getting the diatonic scale on the whole neck. andrew wasson has a great lesson on pitch axis theory, search him on youtube :)
@Kefir96 I love Andrew Wasson and I cite him among a select handful of other guitarists on youtube that have taught me nearly everything I know. If pitch axis theory = different modes on the same root then count me in. I love that idea, because it demands a key change. With that comes a new selection of notes and harmony!
@boomimosh I play jazz in two jazz bands, guitar and bass. I do the traditional standards but I compose by myself. I have a walking bass line playing under a I VI II V (an incredibly common jazz progression) in another one of my videos if you'd like to see. It utilizes secondary dominants and tritone substitutions as well, some of my favorite ideas in jazz theory. Sorry it wasn't up to taste. Also, if I don't have a foggy idea of jazz, I must have a clear one!
@QtheAllmighty Hahaha! Wow man, thanks!! I'm glad you liked it. It's more focused than jazz metal (1) but it has rooms for improvement. I can email this to you if you want it, or if you're uncomfy with that I can find some upload site and give u a link :] I'm in the process of making a lot more videos and songs. I have some uploaded already but they're just private because they're unfinished. Stay tuned though, I don't think I'm ever going to stop learning or making music.
@franktib You are without a doubt the worst experience I have ever had on youtube. You said some awful things to me man. Your criticism was taken, and yes, I don't sweep as much now. Sugar coat it next time though.
@franktib 'BLIKENAVE, go look at 'franktib's page. He fucking SUCKS, and for you to take any criticism from him serious is stupid. Not only that, this dude is some fucking PERSIAN, and if he isn't, he sure looks like one with that fucking huge nose. Don't get all bent up about this little faggot. It comes with the youtube territory. It gives every little anal juice drip like this 'franktib' a forum to show how much of a faggot he is.
i like it but honestly think it would sound better with less distortion. u gotta experiment with some tube sounds u wont regret it. try a blackstar ht-5w out, phenomenal
@franktib You said I was shit, and didn't know theory. You may think you're doing some good, but your words were quite sharp. Perhaps your just naturally malicious and harsh. You went on saying that I should give up, or go back and learn the basics before trying to make up my own progressions and doing things wrong. I was trying to be creative and you just tried to rip it all down. There's a difference between criticism to keep people humble + motivated and mean, draining comments.
@franktib This is one of your "nicer" comments from a year ago. "what vibrato? u must practice sweeping and thats it. not very musical at all. just cuz it sucks dont mean its jazz.
@franktib DUDE.....you know this little douchebag 'franktib' is just a little faggot who gets off on talking shit because he himself can't play guitar. Google his name. He is a fucking faggot who only has ONE video that is TOTAL SHIT.....he plays it wrong and he actually thinks he's bad ass for trying to play a song any 12 year old can play. "BLIKENAVE,' don't take anything this little faggot says seriously. He is apparantly 26 and sucks at guitar for his age. Just look for yourself
@franktib Seriously, just look at this 'fanktib' guy's comments and you can tell right off the bat he's a little jealous asshole.....jealous of other who can ACTUALLY PLAY. He sucks if he really is 26. Shit, he sucks for a 16 year old. This guy has NO ROOM TO TALK OR CRITIQUE ANYONE.......and just for the record, have you ever heard of him? Is he a good guitar player? Is he talented? Is he well-known in the guitar community? NOPE. He's just a pathetic little asshole with a big ass nose.
@feilong29 Thanks man. I checked out your channel and your shit is ballin! I liked your Lori cover (Linstruth has taught me some shit over youtube!). You have more vids than me I think haha. Thanks for the kind words man. If you want to hear my newest thing, it's not public yet, but here is a minute of it (just a test really). /watch?v=66JYpzRHrGw
@DevonDua I love youtube because you create what you love, and express yourself without pressure or direction from anyone else but yourself, and like-minded people interested in your creations will find you. YOU are the reason I have a youtube account. Well maybe not YOU specifically haha, but people like you. Connective, communicating musicians. Thank you for the words Dev. :] They always hold such weight and bring me great deals of happiness and encouragement.
@clarkewi Dude I'm pretty interested in this book. They really got down with Lydian. The LCC. Ahhhh. My friend jokes about me liking lydian so much that I don't even play Ionian anymore, which is basically pretty true haha. It's like I have two lydian modes in the major scale. Anyways, I haven't read this book, just about it. It's expensive, but I want to.
@BlikeNave You're definitely onto something great. I've listened to some of Russell's arrangements and they are absolutely mindblowing. He's definitely in the same league as composers Duke Ellington, Count Basie or Gershwin. My understanding is that he was on the faculty of Berklee School of Music???
@clarkewi Im not sure if he was at Berk but I wouldn't doubt it. I tried to find Russells book in the library today. I'll look again tomorrow. So excited to get my hands on it.
@BlikeNave It is an expensive book and then there would be some serious study required about on par with "calculus". It's heavy theory but if you have basic understanding of scales, chords etc. it should put you "Miles" ahead - no pun intended. Obviously, Russell was way ahead of his time. I think the sounds you have come up with with already are in that vein. I love the tone you are getting out of your guitar - pure jazz. Have fun!!!
@clarkewi Dang. That's quite exciting and inspiring! I really want that book. It's under 150$ I believe. I'll start saving up for it. I really would like to get it. Pretty much my favorite jazz artists are Davis + Coltrane, so Russell's book is a must!!
@BlikeNave Probably worth the investment along with finding a teacher (maybe a Berk student online using Skype???) to give you challenging assignments. You'll be "carrying the torch". I'll look forward to your Carnegie Hall engagement at some future date (first you'll have to find an "Elvin Jones" and McCoy Tyner). Good luck and keep me posted with new compositions!!!!
@clarkewi The last riff was directly inspired by the lydian chromatic concept. Go up in alternating major and minor thirds and you get lydian. Keep doing that and you will get consonant but chromatic notes (the "Chromatic" in Lydian Chromatic Concept, I THINK. So that's where the #15 comes from at the end.
Wonderful,,,,absolutely wonderfu. Your Tone and approach brings to mind another Favorite of mine: Mike Stern. Hope all is well,,,get in touch with me!
Nice! Interesting melody lines, tasty note selections, and flashes of trickery... Well done. My only advice would be to put a little more umph into it. It sounds a little dry and un-emotional. Play the notes with a little more conviction and get those bends to mean something. Great playing!
@NumbNutz12000 I really appreciate this positive feedback, as well as the (wise) suggestions. I will work on my bends sometime... it's my least used technique! Thank you for listening!
@NumbNutz12000 I will be posting a performance I did where I played the song Four by Miles Davis in a jazz band. I play bass and we have other instruments as well as a singer. In my solo I used your advice. This video is more on the "un-emotional" side of my playing, partly because I was so focused on playing diatonically in the scales and hitting my favorite notes. When I played "Four" I knew the song so well that it just flowed out of me. My whole body was playing. Thanks again for the fdback.
@Amazongrassmonster Oh you're so kind Grassmonster :] This video is doing pretty well! It's gotten over a hundred views in one day! I probably added like 30 from just having it on auto-replay so I could listen to it hahaha.
When you make your own music though are satisfied with the sound, because it's exactly what you want to hear!
no, thank you for playing that :)

He sucks if he really is 26. Shit, he sucks for a 16 year old. This guy has NO ROOM TO TALK OR CRITIQUE ANYONE.......and just for the record, have you ever heard of him? Is he a good guitar player? Is he talented? Is he well-known in the guitar community? NOPE. He's just a pathetic little asshole with a big ass nose.

@DevonDua I love youtube because you create what you love, and express yourself without pressure or direction from anyone else but yourself, and like-minded people interested in your creations will find you. YOU are the reason I have a youtube account. Well maybe not YOU specifically haha, but people like you. Connective, communicating musicians. Thank you for the words Dev. :] They always hold such weight and bring me great deals of happiness and encouragement.

@DevonDua Get George Russell's book. Written about 1950. That's Coltrane, Miles and all these genius's discovered - the Lydian scale.

@clarkewi Dude I'm pretty interested in this book. They really got down with Lydian. The LCC. Ahhhh. My friend jokes about me liking lydian so much that I don't even play Ionian anymore, which is basically pretty true haha. It's like I have two lydian modes in the major scale. Anyways, I haven't read this book, just about it. It's expensive, but I want to.

@BlikeNave You're definitely onto something great. I've listened to some of Russell's arrangements and they are absolutely mindblowing. He's definitely in the same league as composers Duke Ellington, Count Basie or Gershwin. My understanding is that he was on the faculty of Berklee School of Music???

@clarkewi Im not sure if he was at Berk but I wouldn't doubt it. I tried to find Russells book in the library today. I'll look again tomorrow. So excited to get my hands on it.

@BlikeNave It is an expensive book and then there would be some serious study required about on par with "calculus". It's heavy theory but if you have basic understanding of scales, chords etc. it should put you "Miles" ahead - no pun intended. Obviously, Russell was way ahead of his time. I think the sounds you have come up with with already are in that vein. I love the tone you are getting out of your guitar - pure jazz. Have fun!!!

@clarkewi Dang. That's quite exciting and inspiring! I really want that book. It's under 150$ I believe. I'll start saving up for it. I really would like to get it. Pretty much my favorite jazz artists are Davis + Coltrane, so Russell's book is a must!!

@BlikeNave Probably worth the investment along with finding a teacher (maybe a Berk student online using Skype???) to give you challenging assignments. You'll be "carrying the torch". I'll look forward to your Carnegie Hall engagement at some future date (first you'll have to find an "Elvin Jones" and McCoy Tyner). Good luck and keep me posted with new compositions!!!!

@clarkewi The last riff was directly inspired by the lydian chromatic concept. Go up in alternating major and minor thirds and you get lydian. Keep doing that and you will get consonant but chromatic notes (the "Chromatic" in Lydian Chromatic Concept, I THINK. So that's where the #15 comes from at the end.

Nice! Interesting melody lines, tasty note selections, and flashes of trickery... Well done. My only advice would be to put a little more umph into it. It sounds a little dry and un-emotional. Play the notes with a little more conviction and get those bends to mean something. Great playing!

@NumbNutz12000 I really appreciate this positive feedback, as well as the (wise) suggestions. I will work on my bends sometime... it's my least used technique! Thank you for listening!

@NumbNutz12000 I will be posting a performance I did where I played the song Four by Miles Davis in a jazz band. I play bass and we have other instruments as well as a singer. In my solo I used your advice. This video is more on the "un-emotional" side of my playing, partly because I was so focused on playing diatonically in the scales and hitting my favorite notes. When I played "Four" I knew the song so well that it just flowed out of me. My whole body was playing. Thanks again for the fdback.

@Amazongrassmonster Oh you're so kind Grassmonster :] This video is doing pretty well! It's gotten over a hundred views in one day! I probably added like 30 from just having it on auto-replay so I could listen to it hahaha.
When you make your own music though are satisfied with the sound, because it's exactly what you want to hear!
Thank you for your support Amazon xD
