Troy Stetina demonstrates the "classical" component of neoclassical metal. A quick walk thru of the chord cadences at work and how they can appear. Also, how to integrate this chord motion within melodic runs.
Thanks, Troy . . . for teaching the real deal. Breath of fresh air to not hear some online teacher say "I can teach you to be a master in two weeks" LOL. You teach everything congruent with my little bachelor degree, and explain it in a way that really helps my students.
Thank you Troy! A lot of this information I'd already read from your books and articles, but this small explanation kinda made things fall into place for things I've had in my mind for some time now
I want to play like this so badly. For me though, this is one of the most valuable / guitar life changing video lessons out there as one learns general theory too. Intervals did my head in. Not now. 🙏 Thank you.
Thanks mate. I've been a huge fan since I bought heavy metal lead guitar vol 2 when I was 16. I'm now 51 haha. Any chance we could get a video of Lightning's Edge? New Lands was another fav of mine. Such incredible feel. I learnt them all years ago but really just enjoy listening to them for nostalgic reasons these days :) Thank you for a lifetime of amazing music dude.
Thanks Jason! Yes, I did in depth lessons with performances of all the MLG and MRG solos/songs on patreon.com/TroyStetina. MLG stuff is on tier 3 ($10). I'm also coming down the home stretch to finish Speed Mechanics 2, which will be out later this year. It's a book/video course with over 55 song studies in it.
Cool! Thanks for this Troy! Neoclassical metal is my main style I write in (though I spend more time doing actual orchestral writing these days). BTW I actually studied with Matt Schroeder at WCM for a time and always used your books.
😀 along the same lines, seeing chords as notes with harmony brings you to see that any 7th chord contains the triad that’s a third higher. So IV7 contains vi chord, I7 contains iii, etc. this is the beginning of seeing chords not as “block shapes” but collections of tones, which helps you play melodically, using target chord tones
This is good, this is understood how classical resolves by harmonic choice to create its sound! But one thing is can you explain then how are melodies resolved to make them sound like a particular style? In every music theory book I read it always talked about chordal resolve, but never anything on melody. It also took me years to understand what melody is, so much time was wasted. I was taught melody can only be in vocals, which is obviously wrong. It's amazing much bad official teaching there is! Thanks for the lesson!
Melody is a mystery to most guitarists. Basically, it's the same thing as what I laid out here... stable vs unstable tones. The difference is just that chords are collections of these individual melodic moments working together. The thing about melody though, is that it's more a function of moving through time over one chord, then another. So the gravitation points are changing over each chord. I have several videos demontrating and explaining this in detail on patreon.com/TroyStetina at tier 6.
how you ever thought about doing a line for line of the hal leonard book on guitar the complete edition. i could use a ten second video on line 68 pull offs i am confused as hell.
Yes, but when V is made major, the 7th step of the parent minor scale becomes a major 7. And that’s the harmonic minor scale… contains E major, not E minor
