Awesome lesson. One thing I've always learned is not to overplay in this genre otherwise it can become a jumbled mess and you have to have the discipline to let the time signature and other instruments breathe especially as a guitar player and keep in mind it isn't always intricate busy parts that's needed. If you listen to most of the great prog players like Alex Lifeson, John Petrucci,Steve Hackett and many others they really understand that. If you need to play just one power chord for 16 measures then do it, if the song doesn't need a solo don't play one. This is a sign of being an excellent musician in my opinion understanding your place in the music and understanding you are PART of the music not THE music.
Awesome post ! My all-time Fav prog was "Happy the Man" in particular: HAPPY THE MAN - Crafty Hands Album - in particular - the song: 'Service with a Smile'. I used to catch them at the 'Cellar Door' in Washington DC.
Now that was an excellent tutorial. Another great prog scale is the Neapolitan minor scale by the way. It helps though to think of it as Phrygian harmonic
Awesome lesson!! Can talk about the tones for rock/metal prog? it's important for this style of music and it's little bit complcated when you're beginner or intermediate!
Truly interesting stuff...quite a lot to digest and a springboard for a endless experimentation. Thanks man, your lessons are ace, always a lot ro learn, i wish i didn't have anything else to do but just learn the guitar! 👽🤘
@19:17 you got that G chord shape with the fret number on V, That makes it a A13 with an F# instead of E. I think that's an editing mistake!!! THANKS FOR THE LESSONS!!!!!
With great knowledge comes great responsibility! Fantastic and informative video that will hopefully inspire musicians to push their boundaries! Cheers from one prog fan to another!
... great vid ... this is the kind if content which I do really like ... great topic very good explained and with nice and musically recorded examples ... :)
Great lesson mate. The Change to 7/8 was a nice example but i don't think it helped the riff enough to justify the change. You did show the feel change and that's most important to help someone understand in real life. I r l.
