Episode 6 - How To Write Progressive Music - Tension - Conflict Notes

Yo! I have a blog now! Might now update too much since I just started working full time.

www.writeprogressivemusic.blogspot.com

My 'Riff of the Day' can be available on the blog through Guitar Pro or pdf

This episode will cover one of my favorite things about music: tension. Tension's great because it makes your music stand out. I'll give you some ways to do that, and the next episode will do the same.

It's actually the *augmented* 4th or diminished 5th. A diminished 4th is a major 3rd.

I love these videos! Some day when I am good enough at guitar I will put them to use and write my own song.

The part of Specular Reflection you turned up to show examples of conflict notes is probably my favorite riff to play of BTBAM's :). People don't understand how I can listen to nothing but them for a week but from your videos I can see you understand why! Haha. Love the videos, they help a lot. It doesn't help though that I'm not good enough yet to write the style of music I want to write lol.

@greenzoid2 I love how there is a BTBAM song in the background of your vids. Sometimes my ears wander and listen to the song instead of you and I have to replay part of the video :P

BTBAM is probably my favourite band.
