Watching you is the most fun I've ever had with my pants still on. I am and have been a Rock/metal Guitarist all of my adult life. Now at the ripe old age of 68 I am getting interested in Orchestral sounds to play my guitar against. I have no formal training of any kind, but with the Kontakt libraries you suggest and with a fairly inexpensive keyboard, I have learned so much from you and watching your workflow that I am reasonably confident I will be able to make music that I never dreamed I would be able to do. Thank you so very much for your videos. They have been very helpful.

Exactly the same, at 68! I recommend you look at The Orchestra Complete, its fantastic, I've written some orchestra stuff, following Guy's teachings, and I also signed up for his How To Write Music, which I also recommend. Good luck!

Not boring. The figuring it out part (uncut) is the coolest part. No one else lets us into. And it makes it make more sense in a sense.

It’s crazy though. Cause a year ago. Everything I though was basic strait up. And then you start watching movie score stuff. Modal vids. And it can be second nature after a bit. You learn the slide thing. But then the (almost like key switches) your ear will just pull you to the switch. And slide there. Just months ago non of this would of made sense. Then like (boom) a second world is opened to you. That you thought was, “no I’d never go there.” But it’s not as crazy hard as you thought. If that makes sense.

33 minutes. I feel as though I've just been plugged into the matrix and force fed all the good stuff. Wonderful, Sir. So very much appreciated here.

There's so much wonder and mystery in this piece! Hearing it conjures so many images and storylines! Love this piece and all your videos. I'm not a musician, but work in film, and seeing the magic that music brings to a piece puts a smile in my face every time!

I agree, it's beautiful!!

This is great. Neo Riemannian Harmony - had a professor state that harmony is a result of counterpoint. At a deep level this is true.

For everyone who thinks the term "Neo-Reimanian Theory" is mystical or imposing....He just summed up the guts of it in about 1 minute with a 20 minute practical application of the techniques. Everything else would be formal names for the slides he is discussing and then the elaborations needed for academic analysis. Great demo as always Guy, the fun you have leaves a big smile on my face.

The wonderful thing about this sort of post is that takes me a few hours to get through them, in a good way. This is because I stop watching to play for a couple of hours with each idea as it's revealed and that's just too much fun. Thanks Guy. Or as we say in Bangkok ขอบคุณมาก.

These kind of chord progressions are where I live. I try to write more upbeat songs and it always ends up like this. Probably from growing up loving film scores before anything else.

What I wonder is, once you have decided to go firmly outside the diatonic territory, what do you use to guide you to decide which will be the third chord after e.g. Cm - B?

Guy, there are so many wonderful comments made below that I can only echo with a hardy "You can say that gain!" Thanks so much for posting!

Guy, let me give it to you straight. You're so good at writing music and being entertaining and informative all at once that I think I just might die. Good DAY sir!

I love your choice of words to describe the harmonic slide: emotional indeterminacy. It's atrociously difficult to describe theory concepts with words. When I hear "emotional indeterminacy," I feel adequately displaced. It summons accuracy. Very nice.

Got instant "Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence" vibe from the Cm -> B slide. Two last chords in the chorus. Beautiful. Same key even. (And yes, I'm quite a bit of a DM fan :P )

I thought exactly the same!

Great vid, shows the importance of orchestration, the harmonic idea itself is extremely simple, it’s the orchestration that makes it cool.

Love building textures and letting them suggest possible directions.

There was that rogue note that you scoffed at (10'38"?) and dismissed and moved on. It was the point at which the harmony lit up for me and I would have diverted that way. I have learned so much here. Thank you, Guy.

In 20 minutes you did what it would take me 2 all days. VERY nice!

Absolutely gorgeous stuff, Guy!! Loving the incredibly bright celeste sound, too. Listening to this whilst doing late night admin has really helped.

Pure dreamscape, Guy. Thank you for sharing yet another amazing voyage and lesson into the realms of sound.

I'm learning more from you than some of the paid courses I've bought.

Delightfully fun as ever, Guy! Cheers!

Thank you for sharing this little creation of orchestral music. I'm learning by watching and trying to repeat what I see you do.

This piece is just amazing. Felt a tingle in my spine with the bass coming in there. Would be great to hear in a movie theatre. Inspirational

Thanks Guy! Demonstrating these composition techniques is brilliant for us beginners out there! Very kind of you!

Please keep making more videos like this to make music theory more fun and interesting at the same time easy to digest . Thanks Guy.

Great work!! You're EXTREMELY talented!! Thanks for the inspiration!! Cheers from New Orleans!

Nice one! I agree the VSL woodwinds in the special edition are stunning. Especially the clarinet. I can play it for hours.

Guy, your instructive videos like this are very inspiring! Thank you for this as it helps me see how a certain emotional atmosphere is evoked!! Cheers!!!

It´s great! We need more techinques like this! Big small resources for composing, which only provides the experience. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the reminder! At about 8 minutes in the video, you reminded me to watch the city of lost children movie again.

A delight as usual, and informative. Thank you!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Guy :)

great stuff guy! That initial chord change at the beginning of the video - very Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

So many memories evoked from playing 'Tomb Raider' on the PS1. It also explains the creepiness of the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' theme. It's always a pleasure to see your videos and expand my knowledge.

I love seeing the process

I learn so much from you... You're always so inspiring...Thank you

Guy did a survey asking for our favorite content in the channel and this video has three of my most beloved topics: harmony tips, live composing illustrating them and a sample library review! I've been related to music for a long time and it's been a year and a half since I'm scoring for audiobooks. I've learn trully a lot with these videos and the connection with Guy's channel it's been sort of magical. I'm working on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde right now (we do mostly classics), guess what kind of harmonies I've been working on? Thank you a lot!

Hey Guy. I have no idea what you talk about, but I am amazed by the way your mind works! The way you assemble a piece of music out of thin air is nothing short of brilliant! I am always amazed at how composers/arrangers can her things in thier head and commit them to a wonderful audible experience. Your energy & enthusiasm shines! Thank you for being you!

Thanks for the introduction to the Slide! Impressive composition.

Fantastic - thank you Guy

That sounds amazing ! I feel like I'm about to embark on a strange journey to some magical place where anything could happen.

Impressive you fit inside the slide. Respect!

I always learn something from you Guy. Thanks

Awesome video, very informative and interesting and love the midi keyboard on screen so I can follow the lesson and what your playing... Very cool feature!

I mentally can't get tired of coming back to your channel Guy. Thanks for all your wisdom!

brilliant, love yer vids, great energy, keep them coming. :-)

Great info on sliding chords. Love them! So moody.

This Gave me inspiration and ideas to work on. Thank you

This was very interesting and great to watch. I also think it's good to see such a natural performance even though some mistakes where made. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks

I've enjoyed this magnificently. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Guy very nicely done 🎶👍

Thank you very much for all your teachings I love when you like you by fitting what you are looking for

yayyy new guy video to watch on my break

Thank you!

I just played around with these slides on my vibraphone; I love it! Brilliant vehicle for improvisations....

many thanks as always another excellent video something else for me to try out, i am still using VSL opus 1 and 2 brought many years ago still very good look forward to your next video all the best

it sounds incredible! a little masterpiece!

Educational and entertaining. As usual. Thank you Guy

Love your video's. Keep up the good work.

Fun watching you put this together. The Hollies "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" used this device. I heard it as a kid and went, "What was that?" I wish more songs used it.

Great video Guy.. Definitely will be adding slides into my music Cheers from HudsonBay 🇨🇦

I've only just watched up to 10:39, and already I feel like I'm in an imaginary fantasy world. You're a great composer and a great teacher.

Inspired once again for a weekend of composing - thanks Guy! The only slight disappointment was the lack of fireworks illuminating the night sky on your final play through! :)

Yupp I’m totally doing this!!! 🔥🙌🔥🔥🙌 it reminds me of the type of tension you feel when you drop the maj4th to a minor 4th. 🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥🔥

This is a once in lifetime opportunity to see you producing the ORIGINAL music masterpiece! Great EXPERIENCE! The final PRODUCTION speaks about your obsession to producing the ORIGINAL MUSIC. I have no words to describe this moment. Thank YOU so much! Suggestion: I am seeing the blurry images of your studio and you in this video. I am using Alienware with RTX 3080. You may use 4K settings instead of 1080P. KZread allow you to go up to 2160 p HD. Please watch Color Grading videos by "Darren Mostyn" and check settings.

Great video as always Guy, and also a big thank you for your shout out to Tokyo, my current home.

Learning Neo-Riemannian harmony in theory in college right now, it is so much more relevant to a lot of the classical music I listened to that I wasn't quite able to understand using tradition harmony (bruckner, wagner etc)

Be careful of the neo riemennian stuff which somehow makes stuff more complicated than it needs to be. I was talking to a friend who is a wonderful wonderful composer and he was disdainful and pointed me at the opening of tristan and isolde which is indeed a work of genius

I think about Philip Glass music by listen to those progressions.

You did your thing w/ that intro mate.

thank you for the great and awesome tutorial

Entertainingly educational, you are probably the best music teacher ever, and Im so old Im not teachable, but Ive learned this

Nice!

I got fully invested once I saw him sliding down that little slide "JUST LIKE ME"🤣🤣❤️

Have used that a lot and never knew it was called a slide. Thanks Guy! :)

It's always good to put a proper and serious name on things you use to do instinctively. 😊

Love the beard, mate! Great video as always.

great score

this mans vibe is infectious

Thanks Guy, it s interesting. Peace from France

Guy in best form, i enjoyed the slide ;)

perfect example of how this is used in the series 'Tales from the Loop' on amazon prime.. I never watch your videos without learning something, excellent again

U are the most amazing person I’ see on KZread

Appreciated.

you inspire me

Ooooh oooh! Very exciting way of generating ideas. I love the self deprecating humour. As you started into the first arps, I was reminded of something from early Pink Floyd but the "Edward Scissorhands" or "Nightmare before Christmas" feel soon took you off elsewhere.

I call this the "James Newton Howard chord", because his work is where I first came across it. (He uses it a lot in the Signs score) I think it's the tritone between the two chords that gives it that "hair on the back of the neck standing on end" sound is my personal theory. Fun fact, Schubert used this a lot. I read an academic paper about it when I was in school. Although, I think he used the up version, major to minor for the most part. Another fun fact, Martin Gore used this a few time in Depeche Mode's music, mostly in the Black Celebration/Music for the Masses/Violator era. He used this and the chromatic mediant quite a bit. (a minor chord to a minor, roots a minor third apart. Another "movie" chord by the way...)

Hey Guy - Wonderful (as usual)! You will now be responsible for a flurry of YT pieces sliding all over the place 😀 and media composers will have to think of a new device to make them stand out... 😱 Yes, I'm definitely going to use it! More like this please 👍
