Whenever I try to write something "Emo" in standard I usually get stuck and end up writing the same thing over and over. This is fuckin awesome though.
Major 7s maj7sus4s maj7sus2s, 6th chords, Minor 7s 9s and 11s, add9 chords and the standard suspended chords and triads do the trick for me though I have a more alternative grungy sound that I incorporate this style into. Chordnamer is a great utility for me cause I only know enough rudimentary theory to survive
Key is to think of something in your head and try to figure out the notes one by one. Best way to start is to get the bass notes on your guitar first. From there, just play around with the notes from each bass notes and then trust me, the magic will work on it's own. Hope this makes sense though.
It's been a few years since I've seen your channel, the last video was "she's My Ex" by ALL. I found your channel again because inwas talking to my son about your Hertitage LP so I found your video and show him 👍. I, like the math rock tune 👌
Hey I had a video idea titled "How to make an Empire Empire song" And I would love to use your instrumental as a background (as I can't play instruments to save my life) I could totally give you credit. Just asking permission 1st. Lemme know
