I love when bands use octave riffs, my favourite is probably the chorus to Welcome to the Black Parade as it is almost the same notes as the vocal melody

I love a good octave chord, I use them everywhere!

My favorite use of octave chords is in "Demon of the Fall" by Opeth.

I still remember the first time me and my friend played ‘Duckpond’ on two guitars, usually I would only play on my own with just the rhythm. It blew our fucking minds.

Neck deep uses these for leads often. Can make some cool counter melodies

So many of the songs I write have these chords in them and I never knew that they were called octave chords. Neat.

On the more metal slide slipknot likes to use a lot of octave riffs especially in their earlier years

Love that you used Choking Victim for an example.

Does anyone know the name of that no use for a name song from the live video PLEASE lol.

I love the tune for that one song by that one vegan punk band but I actually think it's too fast. It could be slowed down to be heavier and personally I'd take the octave chords out entirely. I re-wrote it to have the first three chords, the last one with augmented suspensions, then for the descending final chords I have probably the first chord and then end with a bunch of notes until it resolves on F. You can probably guess the notes I play but I have to figure out the right speed to play it so that it's heavy enough.

Guitar World magazine... 1996 maybe? The guitar solo on "My Friends" by RHCP was the first time I met "octave chords" and have been a huge fan since. The omission of the fifth makes it so when you get to the diminished chord (the bVII* in major or the II* in minor) it still fits in a diatonic progression. Love to use split chords too- ex.: C#m7 = X4X45X -because they still have the third and the seventh while being easier to move around the fretboard. ✌💗🤘

@SugarpillProd

Жыл бұрын

In Chasing Rainbows, they're playing two different octaves parts at the start. The left guitar is just playing octaves of each root note, and the right guitar alternates between octaves for the 3rd & 5th of those same root notes. For instance, when the left guitar plays a C octave, the right guitar plays an E octave, which is the 3rd of the C. Hope that helps!

But where did it all start ? In rock music it was Hendrix with ‘Third Rock from the Sun’ . Then Brian Baker brought it to hardcore punk with Dag Nasty in the late 80s… listen to ‘Values Here’ and most songs off ‘can I say’ . This is where pop punk got their sound.

Punk guitar is kinda a misnomer since hardly anyone in punk bands can actually play guitar. it's all ridiculously inept amatuer beginning lever playing. And i don't think these are actually chords since they are simply 1 note + octave. You need more than 1 note to form a chord. These are simply octaves.

These comments are so cringe. I used to love earlier Blink albums and can still appreciate them, but the first couple of albums are in no way their peak (as with most bands), and there's plenty of skilled and creative guitar playing in later albums all the way up TOYPAJ album. Also, Tom has used octaves in his playing throughout the whole of Blink's discography, so I don't know what you're all complaining about.

Technically, octaves aren’t chords :) Just octaves.

the real reason is because 99% of punk band members don't practise and they don't know any theory lol so octaving is an easy harmony

it’s such a generic sound, how to make a punk song sound like pop

Boring

i just hear awful pop punk

a 5th is a perfect interval and can be used freely, an octave is even FREE-ER as it is basically a single note, an extremely transparent interval. it just makes sense that it'd be used because it so seemlessly goes over any chord because it's literally the least dense chord ever.

Super easy, sounds thick. The problem is it's super cliche' and boring now. Time to move on and learn new things.

Well when you can’t play guitar for shit….
