The Flatted Fifth - The Devil's Interval

[ZiGy14]

3:46 kinda sounds a little like Mozart...

[YCDPKLD]

Wow this finally makes sense. Thank you Mr Colin Daniel sir!

[radyentreme98]

song from 1:20 please?

[ShamanKish]

It ruins cadenza which is a perfect recycling of feelings (tools of enslavement). Disrupts conditioning patterns. No wonder church banned it. Basically, it is deconstruction in art.

[123jozef]

...or so they say. It could just be an old wives tale. Minor chords sound much darker than Major chords too... are they also considered "evil?"

[megahexc]

black sabbath - electric funeral

[BuggerIt90]

1:19 - 1:26 Sounds so familiar, What song is it from?

[kidshady45]

@BuggerIt90 It's a relatively common blues riff, sounds a bit like Chuck Berry though.

[alexbarc10]

@BuggerIt90 i think its could blue shuffle in A

[nightelf2004]

is it me..or does he look like an older version of Woody Harrelson?

[ZEMOSGATE]

Awesome lesson brother!!!! Thanks!!!!

[rollingstopp]

Sir you look like woody harrelson- do you know where i could get tabs for Hendrix setting his giutar a flame-lol

[smitty01209]

Sweet, tender tritones.

[TROLLBASTARD]

douchebag

[TheHammerheart]

Cool Hagstrom.... But he completely overlooked the most famous "Devil's Triad" song of all- the song Black Sabbath!!

[Bamchucknorris]

3:22 Jimmi Hendrix- Purple Haze

[rylEYElyr]

@Bamchucknorris beat me to it. 

[shinta798]

kind of reminds me of the guy (sean penn) from the movie sweet and lowdown. anyway i was just kidding, nice guitar. but how do you think jimi got around to learning this if he was pretty much self taught. also i was thinking how i play cream in 5th? power chords i forget how theyre called and then u mentioned it that really its mostly chords and not single notes what this is

[shinta798]

whered ya get that viking 1 huh?

[wikkid61]

Rockin' Roll Hoochie Coo is in that demo too!

[Flatted357]

Play the 12 bar blues scale-- tab the notes you play, and tell me if you don't find both 6 sharp and 2 sharp? Do, how could the blues scale not include these notes? Moreover, not only the flatted 5th, but also the flatted 3 and 7, of course, are part of the blues scale. I will agree A minor 5 notes scale is A blues scale, but not THE blues scale--

[jonahtakalua1]

How does he change it from normal to dsitortion so quick?

[Matackable]

@jonahtakalua1 A foot pedal.

[Ajt8000]

@jonahtakalua1 either by using the footswitch from his amp, or an overdrive pedal

[kjrody21]

isnt this tritone also used in death meatl/thrash metal

[Jackyouroff]

@kjrody21 yes

[FrankiethePirate813]

@kjrody21 ALOT .lol i use it often, i play deathmetal/melodic death/ and deathcore

[88HAILSTONE]

dude your good....

[muumol]

I wish there was a non HD version as my internet connection is crabby. I hear the flatted fifth, but STILL dont uderstand it!

[twasmuthguitarplayer]

@muumol Go to the A on the E string, now play an A Major scale, when you get to the 5th note of the Major Scale (which happens to be an E on the 7th fret of the A string) flatten it, once you've flattened this note you will find your self on the 6th fret of the A String, this note will be a D#. Now when you play the root note of this scale with the flattened 5th it sounds creepy. Also sounds good when you sharpen the 7th. Hope i helped and that i didnt sound too patronising haha

[kashifbilgrami]

wow most of the joyful songs are full of flatted fifths. now wat would the 18th century say about that

[numba1pinoy]

watched the whole thing pretty interesting. Id love to see a warped Gregorian chant using the devils interval even if it means it would no longer be considered Gregorian

[grimchain]

at 3:28 what sonng is that fromm

[notmuchtodo1]

@grimchain sounds like the start of a jimi Hendrix song, but its not i dont think :)

[BigH765]

@notmuchtodo1 purple haze, it is



[notmuchtodo1]

@BigH765 Ahh thought so 

[mrelisamuel]

@grimchain it sound to me like the intro of purple haze and also like the main riff of a death metal song called I monarch from Hate Eternal.

[febbra2]

@grimchain Hell yeah, it's Jimis' Purple Haze! : )

[autobahn101driversed]

Makes sense!!!!
