I started listening to emo about a month and its a genre I totally passed because I was too young in its prime. I feel like theres a revival and im liking it.
I don't know anything about math rock and I have no idea what Midwest emo is, but I saw a Tele and decided to watch. I really enjoyed your playing, especially the 7/8 stuff.
Midwest Emo is basically only called emo because the common lyrical styles. I have listened to American Football's entire discography 8 times now please help me
Buddy you have a whole lot of music you're about to discover. Check out American Football, Tiny Moving Parts, TTNG, Marietta, Covet, The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die, Don Caballero, Tera Melos and Empire! Empire! (i was a lonely estate)
@唐三藏 I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but aryans are not an ethnicity. It was a group of people that spoke similar languages (mainly iranians). Being white is also not a race. Its a social construct because, back in the day, in europe, they differentiated between numerous ethnicities that are seen as white nowadays. For example irish and italian people were heavily discriminated against for their ghettos and low social-economic status, even in america. Nowadays americans think of the western world as white, but that's not a scientific way to group people.
@唐三藏 You are trolling me, right? Hyperborea is a mythical country that never existed. I think either they told you bullshit, or you are telling me bullshit.
Really puts into perspective how CRAZY math rock is. I just started trying to teach myself how to play guitar a few days ago and I feel like I'll never be at level 5 in my whole life.
I mean, there's probably a reason he explicitly mentions Dylan in one of the steps. If anything, it shows what a huge impact TMP have had on the modern emo/math rock scene.
funny when I started tapping I started in standard tuning and eventually moved to open tunings as I progressed and I never really thought it was easier just that it sounded better.
emo kid here, tell me about deathcore. I like Suicide Silence and I wanna hear more stuff that's like kinda melodic or catchy but also just really fucking balls to the wall hard. help a brother out, what are some good bands or songs to start with?
@@maxonmendel5757 My first deathcore bands were Thy Art is Murder and Chelsea Grin. If youre an emo fan and also a deathcore fan you will love They Will Know Another by TAIM, which was what got me realy into deathcore. My current favorite bands are Shadow of Intent, Fit For an Autopsy, Brand of Sacrifice and Lorna Shore.
@@maxonmendel5757 if you're into Melodic and Catchy stuff as well as hard Breakdowns you might also want to give Melodic Hardcore or Metalcore a try. I recommend you Being as an Ocean, Counterparts, Light your Anchor, Alazka and The Amity Aflliction for a Start if you're interested.
@@Plutonic_Blue I agree with you. Also people tend to forget Tom had a terrible drug problem so live performances are shit for.that reason. If you see sessions of him sober he really has a unique perspective at making riffs. His riffs are one of the most memorable in the genre.
Step 7: Hmm, sounds like the style of Tiny Moving Parts! Step 8: Mentions Dylan by name. Rest of the video: Unreleased TMP song. No, in all seriousness, excellent video! Well done!
The transition from Level 1 to Level 2 is perfect song intro material. 4 of the simple one, 4 of the complex one, on to verse, so simple but so effective.
@@DerfJagged Yeah, a lot of people have been calling anything with tapping math rock for long enough now that it's probably not even "wrong" anymore. The main defining feature of math rock is the odd time signatures and other unusual rhythms though, emo without that isn't math rock and a lot of math rock doesn't sound anything like emo (Crazy noise rock-influenced bands like Yowie, Hella and Tera Melos are a good example of the other side of the spectrum) even though the two genres are very closely linked in their development and overlap all the time.
finally, youtube recommendations trained well enough to show me something high-quality, highly relevant and unpopular at the same time. subscribed for more midwest emo stuff!
@@joshuafrahm8778 He actually did do that recently, just for his seafoam green guitar. The other two are still taped. They discuss it in his rig rundown video.
Lvl 5 was my favourite. I love it when songs aren't overly complicated. I think songs where lot of stuff happens can be great. But if there's to much, it kinda pulls me out of the zone. That's pretty much the reason why I stopped listening to Polyphia. I disliked level 6, but the rest really was gorgeous. Great video!
How to get started: Buy a telecaster. Use the bridge pickup only. In fact, remove the other one, so you don't get tempted. Turn tone knob as far up as it goes, do the same on the eq of your Amp. Put some high-wetness/low release reverb on. Add some Amp overdrive. Stonks!
This video hit me straight in the feels and i know that's weird. I legit have no friends who listen to this music and that's OK but I really dont get bands suggested to me because of it . I really really enjoy Tiny Moving parts and mom jeans. If anyone can spread their love and knowledge of other bands i would be forever grateful.
This is a really good example overall on the different elements of playing a musical instrument would look like broken down. Something nice to hear but also informative to show to friends who are interested but intimidated to try learning an instrument.
i play drum professionally, lately ive been learning guitar, specifically this genre, this was helpful af to understand the right hand and feel between variations
Pedalboard consisting of Earthquaker Devices' most incomprehensible effects + any rare / boutique / limited edition fuzz pedal that's worth more than the rest of the board combined.
i've hated myself for so many years it hurt to touch an instrument but watching this made me realize i deserve to learn to play music like this so thank you
I feel like the way modern Midwest Emo riffs work, you just can't really play them in standard tuning. The only Midwest Emo songs I've seen tabbed out in standard tuning sprawl halfway across the neck because there are so many big arpeggio runs.
I worked around musicians all my life and I have the urge to hate you cause I can't do all the cool things you can but really its respect. I'm getting ready to record a record with Ace Enders from The Early November. I wish I could have you play some lead on it. Your absolutely bonkers!
TWIABP on audiotree I'm standing on the precipice It's a cliff that I've prayed on before So much so that despite the fact that I don't know if I believe in a god or gods anymore My fingertips they bear callouses My palms they bear callouses from pressing together so tightly I pray hard when I pray I've often thought that this maw in front of us was the end of everything A darkness that consumed all, a black hole Do you know that we are made up of the same stuff that makes up the stars? So, what flows through us may not be just blood it may be stardust And we are dying every second of every minute of every hour of every day Brings us closer to that final day that final hour that final minute that final second that final breath Which means when we run out of hydrogen we become giants, or super giants, or supernovas And if not that then we are simply stars whose ill-fated courses end in collision either way Either way we'll explode With this in mind I reconsider the precipice There is something beautiful in its blackness isn't there Something wondrous in its persistence in swallowing us all? The end, the end of everything is the beginning of a brand new everything The end of this universe may be the beginning of a brand new one So that even now when my heart feels like the most congested intersection The world, the world it is waiting I reconsider the precipice and so, In an effort to take part in reckless acts of self definition I jump and I ask you to join me As I fall, as I let that beautiful blackness take me into its arms I know that I will be safe in them I know that we, you and I, all of us We will be safe in its embrace
Jean. Pierre check out his other vids! he tabbed out some of the riffs and if you play it at half speed or so you can get it eventually. I’ve played for less than a year and I can play a few riffs now.
BottledMajesticness yeah! Never Meant’s a good one especially if you’re not used to FACGCE. Then if you want to practice tapping in another tuning Always Focused by TMP is pretty fun to learn and play in DAEAC#E.
I HATE CLOUDS I’m still not great at it, but the harder and quicker I tap the cleaner I sound. your fingers eventually get stronger and with practice your tapping will become more precise. Also maybe the strings could be a factor?
@@LuckynworkLuckyDog21 I'm particularly fond of my MXR Studio Compressor. Little pricier, but a lot more room for tweaking. MXR definitely makes some good stuff all around, though
I grew up in the midwest around all of this. I swear it's a brand new thing for something like American Football to be considered math rock. Ghosts & Vodka is midwest math rock.
Remember when I saw this video 3 years ago. I was starting to play the guitar and thought I'll never reach the level to play at this level. 3 years later I find this easy now I will try it :)
I didn't know what math rock and midwest emo was before today. I listened to a song randomly and i like it. Then i sarch on youtube to find more and i found this video. Ive been lstening to it fo 30 minutes .
