This one is an original composition that I wrote for my middle/end of year Music II major work. It's still in draft stage, and I'm thinking about switching out the middle for a quiet odd-signature samba bit or something, but I haven't got around to it.

Based on chords with intervals of fourths i.e. minor nines, hence "quartal chordal"

  • what kinda of sweep pattern are you doin at 0:32? thats sounds really cool but i can't quite tell what it is.

  • It's a pattern I learned from Dave Martone's song "Lips Tulips", and it's also used in Guthrie Govan's "Wonderful Slippery Thing" after the first chorus. As far as I know, it is an EMin9 arpeggio, but I play the 2nd inversion with the octave tapped at the top. The next time I play it all I do is slide the shape down a tone on the second descent.

    It works well over the Maj7b5 chord because both utilise quartal harmony and have a really ambiguous chordal tonality, lots of room for "outside" notes

  • dude, learn some coltrane, miles, parker licks and you are golden!

  • Some great chord voicings there man! Keep up the awesome stuff

  • That was really cool man. Wow.

  • great playing man. i love the tone, very holdsworthian. i too admire your tapping and string skipping licks. i'm gonna look up the martone song i'm already familiar with govan and the infamous 'lick from hell' on wonderful and slippery thing

  • cool shirt.

  • If hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have discovered quartal harmony and Allen Holdsworth. THANK YOU!!

  • alright, i think i get what your saying. are the notes B--D--G--b--e--f# and then the tap on the high b then?

  • Fucking sick. You rock!
