Tony Macalpine / Shrapnel Instructional /1

Another video from the distant past (1990) this isnt the first video by Tmac, but its a lot more comprehensive than the others and is deserving of a mention because he rarely records this kind of material these days which is a crying shame considering how talented he is as a player and musician.

@ 5:26 but my fingers are not like hammers

This intro really shows he spent some time studying counterpoint.

@shadowoftheshire there's no such thing as valid in music theory.. Any established rule of thumb in music can be broken at will.

[shadowoftheshire]

btw counterpoint is the name for two or more melodic lines that move independently of eachother, often times moving in opposite directions on a scale (ascend/descend), yet they harmonize with eachother.Ex:In Cmaj, if we had one ascending melody going"c,d,e,g" and another line doing "g,f,e,d" while descending, simultaneously, we would have a simple counterpoint harmony. Hear what they sound like together and it will make sense. Listen to Baroque music, esp. js Bach, he is a master of counterpoint

[shadowoftheshire]

pitch axis theory is just satriani lingo. It just means one note from the chord your on is in the next chord. Its really just a way to find a chord to come next that isn't expected, changes key, etc but still "fits" in some sense, harmonically, because one color from the previous chord is also in the next chord. Its a good way to get some sweet sounds but i can't really call it a valid theoretical approach

@Jslegacy01 How is there two melodies playing at the same time in this??

[nemogre]

[joesatriani1200rulez]

@Jslegacy01 ive never understood counterpoint, it seems to me its just like pitch axis theory
