CHUGS ARE BORING: Let's Use New Intervals

Музыка

If you're looking for alternatives to the powerchord chug, this video will show you new sounds you can use - through a lesson on intervals - so you can have more sounds at your disposal and thus write more interesting riffs and breakdowns.
I really enjoy making videos like these about how to write riffs, as well as lessons on music theory that apply to metal guitar, so if this video helped and you'd like to see more please let me know in the comments!

    It's useful to apply dissonance and consonance to deliver "sensations" or "impressions" in a poetic sense. Like when he mentions how apt the irony of the major 6th was in the context of a song full of youthful loathing. This is how classical composers approached it, and Prog after it. Theorists and musicians often get lost in the weeds of musical mechanics and frequently overlook the expressivity of almost any and every sound, and how we can elevate our descriptions of intangible feelings using these incidental sounds. The same way a writer would an incidental detail or a painter would a outside-color to realize the special realness in their mediums. Like, the goal in a way should be for the sound to feel alive, existing in it's own right, rather than worrying too much about the theory of whether it *is right*. Just my learning.

    In your chapter regarding Major 2nd, Minor and Major 3rd (2,3, and 4 semitones) around 8min 20second, you mention a lack of examples of such use in rhythm playing. I found that example you played to be similar to Grand Magus' sound on their Hammer of the North album. Certainly, it can be heard in the song Steel vs Steel (from Triumph and Power)

Today I was just talking to a buddy about a chord that I'm hearing in all sorts of new music that's come out in the past year or two and I can't figure out what the hell it is because it sounds so damn awesome and I want to know how to do it. Turns out it's the 4th I had a hunch it was an inverted power chord and you clarified it for me. Thank you.

    One of the best chug riffs ever written is 43% Burnt by The Dillinger Escape Plan - perfect fourth, E standard. It's incredibly heavy. It also really speaks to the power of contrast in your chug riffs - so much of it is based on a shrieking minor 9th that the low E and A chug sounds way lower than it actually is.

    Holy FUCK I read a lot of comments on youtube and this is the 3rd time I've ever heard someone shout out the masterpiece that is 43% burnt. When I first learned that main riff (especially the insane outro/breakdown) I felt like an actual god. You barely even need distortion/gain to make it sound heavy, you could almost play it clean and it still CHUGS.

    Great video man! Periphery and Architects were the first bands that made me notice the minor 7th chug because of their specific drop tuning. There is also a very VERY dissonant interval that not a lot of bands use in low register : the minor 9th. This sounds so ridiculously agressive and I fucking love it! Silent Planet is a great example of frequent usage of this interval in lower register (Mitch Stark’s playing is crazy unique and weird and awesome). NB : major 9th works really well too for a brighter sound!
