If you’re stuck with writing music try this! In this guitar lesson you’ll learn all about the chromatic mediant and why they the favorite composition tool of many progressive Rock, Prog Metal bands and film composers like John Williams, Max Steiner and Hans Zimmer. The Chromatic mediant and chromatic submediant is an amazing strong and powerful chord to create inspiring music that sound mystical, ominous and even unnerving. Not only film composers use it for their film scores like John Williams did for his Star Wars film music, but also Rock and pop artists use it too like the Doors when they wrote “Light my fire” and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers when they came up with the intro for “Under The Bridge”. This video is pointed at guitar players who need a crystal clear guitar tutorial about the chromatic mediant.

I saw the title, Chord Progressions!....with ONLY 2 chords and thought, that sounds perfect for me! Now I need to lie down for a while.

@DragisaBoca Год назад

Ok this answers a lot of questions I didn't know how to ask even... Goodbye to boring playing within a single scale...

@shawnvstaden Год назад

This video should become the new standard in teaching mediants -for all instruments-. Thank you

@NickTsatsalmas Год назад

This is fantastic! I've been studying chromatic mediants from soundtrack/theory videos and was hoping that specifically your channel would make a simple, comprehensible, full reference for guitar. Thanks once again

Got about 1/3 of the way through, then my nose started bleeding…Got it bookmarked and will be coming back to it often to absorb as much as I can. Lack of implementation of this is why my own music is so stale. Fantastic content here. Many thanks.

@jfo3000 Год назад

Was just playing He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother the other day...I think one of these changes is in there. Part of the power of that song is the Em to Eb to F chords sections. Unusual and beautifully melancholy. A tear jerker for sure. Thanks for another great video Rob! Your theory videos are THE best.

@rafa_guitar Год назад

What a pleasant surprise this new masterclass! Full of known and unknown concepts and how they relate to each other, filling in the blanks and giving the possibility to create new, different and interesting compositions. Again your work in the creation of the video is impressive, as well as the examples/compositions and your execution that accompany each concept. There are no words to express the quality of what you share and how grateful I am to have your knowledge at my fingertips. Thank you so much Rob!

Recorda-Me has the chromatic mediant Am to Cm, while The Doors' Light My Fire - Am to F#m. Haven't realized until this lol

@lee_at_sea Год назад

The level of clarity here is 11 out of 10. Outstanding. I knew these topics a bit. For 25 years. But not accurately. This was a *firehose* of accurate clear information. I totally follow, and can now speak to others more formally studied than I, in the terms they do. Thanks!

This is really excellent. For an intermediate guitarist it opens many many new doors (and illuminates some dark passages between them!). Likewise suffering from a little nose bleeding per below :) but feels reachable!

@alexokrayiii9689 Год назад

Dang it Rob I would have LOVED to have this information months ago. LMAO I was wondering what technique I was using. Best video for yet for my personal learning. THANKS ROB!!!

@fakeseb4797 Год назад

Not sure if you'll see this, but I hope you do. I've been watching a couple of your videos and I'm very impressed with the depth of information you put together and the clarity of your diagrams. I'm likely gonna be picking up your ebooks soon but there's something else that would be quite cool, which is maybe posters of your diagrams in a summarised form. I've got some blank space on my wall and I've been looking for high quality music diagrams but not found anything to my satisfaction. Yours exceed expectations. It would be cool if you were to either make a PDF poster you were happy for us to get printed, or if you found a service that would handle the printing process. I would really appreciate being able to steep my wandering mind in these concepts rather than the blank walls I currently have. Excellent work, thank you for your educational content.

@bathrobeman66 Год назад

woah so I could use a secondary dominate of the chromatic mediant I'm aproching I wonder if it would still work out

@baschdiro8565 Год назад

My favourite chromatic mediant is also from the Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship theme.

@Utahguitar75 Год назад

Thank you, best explanation I've found, even better than Rick Beato's, and that's saying something. Also, thank you for the list of modern songs that use it. All the other explanations leave out context and that gives me something to look at as the two riffs I have that use this are difficult to resolve. On the Tears for Fears tune (one of my favorites by them) the melody is obviously flatting the G to fit the chord change, but it would be interesting to look at how modal ideas work through these. In that case could you keep the F# in place (if it were being used) making it a Lydian mode, or would you fully modulate to the C major and why or why not and how does that sound? I will sit at the piano when I get home and see what my ear thinks, but it would be an interesting part two to explore the melodic possibilities created by modal interchange.

@QJamTracks Год назад

Thank you for your comment! It is indeed very interesting to explore modal interchange ideas. I made a video about that subject too if you're interrested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9LxJPaqh51o.html

Hi there, appreciated your hardwork a lot and recommended this channel to the needed ones.❤ Can you help me with the singal chord backing tracks used for practice routine section of scale arpeggio video. It would become easy for practicing one mode over a single chord backing track

I will put it on my patreon page!

@radiozelaza Год назад

As for which musical genre abuses chromatic mediants the most in their extreme sinister form, symphonic black metal it is! Although my favorite band in this genre is Bal-Sagoth who use the most cinematic elements

@augmented2nd666 Год назад

Notable Mention would be Symphonic Black Metal in general, tons of Minor chord changes in that stuff whether its obscure Black Metal, or well known bands like Dimmu Borgir and their song "Kings Of The Carnival Creation" Kinda figured you'd mention that genre considering your accent but yeah.

Black Metal Chord Progression

@karayuschij Год назад

Very (too much) complex for me :D What are the scales to use to improvise on these chords progressions?

@QJamTracks Год назад

You can't use one scale for both chords, because they come from different keys. The easiest way is to modulate to the key of the chord: over C-E use Cmajor and E major. After this you can switch to modal playing and use for instance C Lydian and E mixolydian.

@pattepato4592 Год назад

No doubt, this is quality content and these things are just typos. I appreciate that you share this knowledge, but when I see sth. wrong I have the urge to point it out.

@QJamTracks Год назад

No problem. Please do point that out, so others can benefit from that.
