Damn this video turned out WAY TOO LONG!!! You guys are the best for putting up with my rambling, I hope you learn something useful :) Riff 1 - 0:57 Riff 2 - 5:46 Riff 3 - 8:08 Riff 4 - 10:36 Riff 5 - 14:37 LESSON SUMMARY - 18:59
Honestly anyone who uses their time on the internet to look at my ugly face deserves some recognition You most of all my dear friend! Thank you for the support as usual but especially for putting up with my incoherent rambling :D
this is so sick mate!! your channel is gonna blow up. not only are you ridiculously talented but you have an in depth knowledge of the theory and seem comfortable and confident speaking on video which is harder than people realise. yes joão!
My man you don't know how much this comment means to me, I was so insecure about doing this video so I'm super happy you think it's good and that I seem comfortable on camera. It really means a lot, thank you so much Tobias ❤
10:45 Olly is most proud of this one! I took a video lesson with him before the album dropped and he played it with ease. This is a great video bro! New sub.
This community needed a better class of music theory/covers for this kind of music. Maybe I just don't know many RU-vid channels that have this level of quality and professionalism but I'm super impressed with your "product" for lack of a better word. If you're open to it I'd like to talk to you further about this sort of stuff in a closed forum. I'm getting into production and I'd like to share my story with you, and possibly collaborate.
Thank you to death really, I was super insecure thinking people would hate this and think I'm just rambling incoherently! Happy to have you as my audience man, really really aprecciate it :)
João Medeiros yes, was a good night. The guys were great. Nice to discuss Chimp Spanner music with Dan the drummer and Gojira chops with Olly before the gig.
Amazing analysis! Tip 3 stood out the most to me because it's something I never thought about, and John Browne actually mentioned the same thing in his masterclass posted to the Tone Zone channel. Also, Celeste is the best song I've heard in such a long time. The way you broke down those riffs made me appreciate it even more, my ear would've never been able to figure all that out. I hope your channel sees a lot more growth really soon, your approach to covers and videos is better than all the other guitar channels I watch on here. The time and energy you spend on your content really shows, hope to see more from you!
Woah a free John Browne masterclass on RU-vid? I need to get on that 😍 It's such a great song! I'm so happy my explanation made some sense to you You're the best my friend, thank you so much for the kind words! More content always coming ;)
John Browne has so much to say about how to take an idea and continuously evolve it and build off of it to make a full song that is cohesive and memorable. He really has such a deep understanding of songwriting and composition. You can feel it just from listening to the music.
Commenting ahead of finishing the video; This is all so useful! Awesomely fast output and accuracy. I loved every riff on the album, but I have to give it to 'The Watch's' end riff is just perfect, 100%. Fits and ends everything so well.
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! I'm glad you appreciate the longer format. Definitely the most memorable riff right? Not the best, not the coolest, just the most memorable!
thanks for making this video. been wondering on that tuning he uses. looks very good for making cool chords. gotta say i loved that clip of oli dancing behind john browne during that 8 string harmony that was pretty funny. i like your lessons and songwriting videos you got good insight .
9:05 Synopsis of the whole album XD. No seriously, The Watch riff has definitely some inspiration off of Gojira, the simplistic yet effective riff plus those string scrapes really remind me of them.
T H I C C N E S S B O I Browne hinted at "The Axe" from L'Enfante Sauvage, and after listening to it yeah the influence is clear! Thank you for being the real OG and watcinh all the way my friend, really aprecciate it ❤
honestly, i had never noticed that the rhythm in the chorus of Leviathan repeated in the breakdown. such a cool little trick to keep a song consistent, while still having individual parts. also, your videos are just way too good. so excited for some more videos, and to learn some more Monuments songs (because all i know is I, the Creator haha)
Was a big AHA moment when I noticed too, really took me a while! Thank you for the kind words as usual Dumi! Actually almost all 5 of these tips are in I, The Creator! It's such a quintessential Monuments song really 😍
Absolutely! Did you know the only part that remained constant through all the versions was the crazy break in the middle + the breakdown after? I thought it would have been something like the intro, but then Browne said that was the last part to be written! Crazy if you ask me
@@joaoldmedeiros wow, that's funny. i had no idea that the middle section of all things was the thing to never change. it is a really awesome section, but the intro would've definitely been my guess
Youre just incredible. Your helping me further understand whats going on beneath the music i like the most. Olly steele and john browne are obviously a huge inspiration for you. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thank you so much man! This was an early experiment, for now I'm focusing on covers but later down the road this might be a path to further explore. Your feedback is worth the world, thank you once again
You have no idea how happy your comment makes me Robin. The fact you watched it all makes me a lot less insecure about being on camera! You're the boss, thank you for your time as usual
João Medeiros I ain’t the boss haha! Your videos are truly captivating man! And the quality of the video is just perfect, you have what it takes! I dish I could do the same! My English and my accent suck haha
@@joaoldmedeiros of course man, you targeted my three favourites from the album: vanta celeste and the watch. Honestly amazing informative video, you managed to say the main points clearly. And you reminded me i might need a seven string. Or reset the intonation to play in drop c# ^^'
I'm so happy you think I got the point across! Making me feel better about my rambling one comment at a time :) Try to do it on your six-string before you buy another guitar my man, I'm sure with some thicker strings you'll make it work :D
You're just like me hahaha! Make those studies work first dude, good luck out there! Hope you crush everything on your path and still have time to make killer music
Porra mano, que vídeo fantástico cara! Mano, eu me inscrevi no seu canal há um tempo por causa da qualidade dos seus covers - o quais pra mim são uma espécie de aula. Cara, sei que é foda fazer conteúdo desse tipo, mas eu particularmente não conheço ninguém que esteja produzindo material desse tipo voltado pro metal progressivo/djent whatever u named it. Se rolar mais vídeos sobre harmonia, estruturas rítmicas e decomposição das músicas como nesse vídeo, vc estará ocupando um nicho não explorado no youtube, com certeza! Abraço *plz come 2 brazil
Thierry, muito muito obrigado! Me sinto honrado! Meu plano será mesmo ocupar esse nicho! Estou começando com covers para construir um público que esteja aberto a esses assuntos, e aparentemente está a funcionar pois estou atraíndo pessoas como você que realmente querem saber. Fique sabendo que você foi o meu primeiro "come 2 brazil" e estou um pouco emocionado por esse momento
A questão é que nem em Inglês tem quem analise João! Por isso faço em Inglês para chegar ao maior público possível ehehe, mas talvez noutro canal no futuro ;)

Ah sim. Coloca uma legendinha aí então. Hehehe abraço!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who seriously appreciates the outro riff to 'the Watch.' Yes, it's not technically impressive in the way other Monuments riffs are, but when I heard it I was instantly like: 'Fuck! I wish I'd written that!'
