I'd love to see something from Golden Earring (their guitarist of over 50 years was diagnosed with ALS recently) or Thank You Sceintist (Tom Monda is a BEAST and uses a fretless).

They went Turkey to learn about microtones, and sleep drifter is actually a version of song called 'Kara Toprak' by Aşık Veysel (Tradititonal Turkish Musician) If you are up to microtonal music, you can look for some scales called 'Makam' in Turkish Music which (Hicaz, Hüseyni, Segâh etc.)

Microtones are the future of music in general.

Its not rocket science people, King Gizzard is just paying an homage to turkish folk/anatolian rock and also experimenting with it. The guitars are fretted in the same way as the turkish string instrument saz and you can find many riffs and melodies they use in old turkish folk songs. That being said, i worship King Gizzard as a Turk because of how insanely fresh and creative their mixture of this old style with garage rock is. Cant get enough of it. It took an Australian band to make anatolian rock cool again.

@@LieLikesMusic Its always so thrilling to find out about a new genre of music. Anatolian rock started out in the 70s combining elements from rock and funk with traditional turkish tunes. I read in an interview that Stu is a particular fan of Erkin Koray. At the time many anatolian rock bands used normal fretted guitars and turkish saz but i remember Erkin Koray having a microtonally fretted electric guitar, i dont know if he was the first though. Others that come to my mind from that time are Baris Manco, Cem Karaca, Ersen ve Dadaslar, Mogollar, 3 Hürel. You can actually just check this youtube channel called Anatolian Rock Revival Project, they post remastered versions from this genre. Also there is a new band called Altin Gün, which got very popular in Europe lately, due to their new spin on old turkish folk/Anatolian rock songs, really recommend it. Hope this helps. I really appreciate your videos man, you put a lot of work into them, i myself am also very interested in history of music and really enjoy your videos, keep it up! Cheers:)

In the FMB-era days, Cook and Lucas used a standard tuned guitar/bass with a different fret system to the others. As of 2021, Cook seems to have adopted the C# F# C# F# B E tuning and fret system and Lucas has begun to use a custom built 5-string bass (still in standard) but with an entirely different fret system, including half/fifth frets !!

You can play some chords too based on the 11th harmonic, which is a quartertone, like C - F‡ (F# - 50 cents), maybe with an extra octave thrown in. If you have "6th tone" frets, you can do 7th harmonic chords like C - A‡‡ (A# - 30 cents). It's easy to do this in an open chord tuning. Even a regular major 3rd is 15 cents too sharp compared to the 5th harmonic (9th fret). Eddie Van Halen used to detune the B string to play just major triads on some songs.

Actually like C - A‡ (A# minus a quartertone) approximates a harmonic 7th interval or "7/4" (within 19 cents).

Thank you :)

King Gizzard! Craig McCracken (PPG, Foster, WOY, Kid Cosmic Fame) and Edgar Wright's favorite band. I love them.

Oh i didn't know that. Cool!

It‘s true that western music theory is having a hard time explaining microtones, but as oriental music has used them for a long time, it would have been logical to include arabian music theory. Especially the maqams, because thats where you find the scales they used or borrowed.

Nice mars volta reference at the end! 😁

Can't you do the microtones in a division of the tones in a normal guitar? Just curious to know the possibilities of a cover of some of their songs

Excuse me but in maqam music there are 42 different names (if I’m not mistaken) for notes in 2 octaves. What do you mean you can’t name them? For example rast (G), nim zirgule, zirgule, dik zirgule, dugah (A). 3 notes between G and A.

I've been trying to make melodies with microtones, and it's very interesting, but how do u built a microtonal scale like in "major/minor terms"?? I know that eastern music use other systems to built scales and melodies, and i would like to know if there's a way to make an scale adding these microtones, thank u :D

Apparently there's a whole genre of Anatolian rock (turkish rock) that i didn't know about until i published this video. They might be using such scales. It's worth googling and checking out. I'm very new to this as well, so i'm not familiar with any of those scales yet.

Thanks for this awesome video, you allowed me to finally access this band. I was trying to listen to them a few times over the last few years and it never clicked, it just sounded too far out. But this video actually was the first time I learned about microtonal and I'm giving them a closer listen and it's been really cool. Thanks bud

That's awesome man! Then my work is done hehe. I experienced the same thing though. I found out about them back in 2017. But i'm way more into them nowadays after more exposure.

Check out the Uighur Dutar...also, I've always called the semi-tones "green notes". I first noticed them while listening to Miles Davis.

Did ur camera freeze while having that conversation with ur friend?

Stoked

One thing so would like to add, is that these microtones are not ones based off of “true” tuning per intervals, only equal, unlike a lot of eastern music. On Sitar for example, they can adjust intonation extremely accurately.

¡Great video!

Cool video. :D Just some thoughts of mine: a) Droning was heavily used in european music as well; think of bagpipes and even many classic organ pieces feature a drone in some parts. b) Until the invention of the 12TET system around 1799, europed used several intonations including an approach of 19 tones to approximate the major third 5/4 frequency ratio at around 387 Cent better at the expense of perfect fifths being shrunk down to something between 697 or even 666 instead of 702. This major third is notably lower than the regular 400C third we are used to torture our kids ears with and i never liked any major scale at all... until i found a turkish guy on youtube covering King Gizzard on a microtonal guitar with small frets added for those lowered thirds and additional microtones. Also, on the 19-well tempered tuning the third gets streches up to 310C which is farther away from the perfect pythagoran 295 C of frequency ration 32/27. And it sounds... kinda awefull. Poor Mozart and all the other composers couln't write propper sad songs because their Cembali were hunted with weirdly sharpened minor thirds in favour of the less sharpened major third. So the 12TET is indeed better at approximating fifthts and minor thirds... I feel like this is the reason why music theorists are continuing to brabble about how every music listener has a "major bias" and how C-major is "the prototype for scales" when clearly, the 12TET major scale sounds childish and aweful and oh god, i can't stand this melodic torturing sharpened bullshit, please somebody get me a post punk band with distorted guitars and a minor third! Jeez! My point is: The 12TET was never "the best compromise", it was just the "least worse" in terms of practicability for western music. And since "the west" like to justify its historic roots by means of weird math, there was the idea that the 12TET was somehow "the most natural system to use" and it stuck that way for about a century until the artists tried to re-open the field of tuning systems and microtones. One weekend i sat down and tried to build up my own scale in an exel spread sheet from microsteps of 20, 21 and 30 in a simple pattern such that i would get 20+21+30=71 augmented prime and 71+21=92 small demi-tone, 92+20=112 diatonic demi-tone, 112+71=183 small whole tone, 183+21=204 big whole-tone... these are the "natural" small intervals known since ancient times. It worked wuite well and in the end i got 53 microtones where most fifths, major and minor thirds were perfect and... then i found out that there exsists a 53TET system which approximates the fifthts even better than i did at the expense of approximating the demi-tones... because of course somebody had already done that. :/ i adjusted my system slightly and i'm now going to write regular western harmony music with it, but seemingly random floating up or down a comma while doing so and it just feels soooo natural to use this system... but i get that most people don't want 53 keys per octave or play fretless all day long. But my computer doesn't care... So, yeah, there is more to microtonality than just adding quarter-tones in between the demitones of 12TET. :)

Like how this video is only two years old and we now have 7 new gizz records

Why are there not microtonal frets between all of the regular frets?

Do you plan to make a video about Igorrr? He has quite interesting material too.

There's nothing new about the usage of microtones by KGLW except that the genre which is rock. It's clearly heavily influenced by Turkish folk music. For those folks who want to dig deeper I recommend searching the terms "bağlama" and "türkü".

For that wallet'y sound

the use this tuning: E= C# A=F# D=C# G=F# B and high E stay the same

String bending for microtonal ? Scalloped fretboard for microtonal?
