In this guitar lesson, we will explore how to create apocalyptic and dreadful chord progressions.
As we will see, using mostly minor chords in a chord progression is not enough to create that full feeling of apocalypse or of uneasiness.
It is HOW we purposefully select which minor chords we use, that the dreadful feeling reveals itself.
We will take advantage of the principle of ‘’chromatic mediants’’ to select the best chords that give us, chromatic, dissonant and weird chords to choose.
After watching this lesson, you will finally be able to craft your own chord progressions for the end of the world…
Enjoy :-)

Love it man! That sounds pretty blackmetal to me! I like the melodies you added on the chord progression too

@_AT41 3 месяца назад

Glad to see you getting outside the diatonic box, and especially into chromatic mediants. Major and minor chromatic mediants are easily among the most interesting kinds of changes, and underutilized in most music (especially popular music).

Roger Waters didn't fail to notice. He has a lyric referencing it on Amused to Death. To be fair, chromatic runs aren't that hard to compose.

Thank you for the door-opening lesson. What are you playing for the melody, scales, arpeggios?

I'm just improvising on a natural minor scale, changing on each respective chord (D minor scale, Bb minor scale, etc)

very good, congratulations video Dude How do I do a SOLO, or improvise over chromatic mediants chord, what scales should I use for that?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 2 года назад

I'm just changing the minor scale each time on top of each chord (improvising in D minor scale on top of Dm chord, improvising in Bb minor scale on top of Bbm chord, and so on). Thanks!

@alan_liveir 2 года назад

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar I see, I understand, each chord you change you play its own scale, if it's a major major scale if it's a minor minor scale, right?

@alan_liveir 2 года назад

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar When it comes to God chord or even chromatic mediants, does it work the same way? Cromatic Mediants or God Chords, is there a specific scale for these chords? or in an improvisation, improvising for SOLO that contains these types of chords, which scales should I use in relation to Cromatic Mediants or God Chords?

@carlosclaptrix 2 года назад

I like mediants, esp a minor 3rd up and a major 3rd down. Sound Floydy.

3 steps to write shivering music: 1) learn about scales and their chords as much as you can 2) forget all about major chords and about diatonic scales 3) start writing
