@@Locoantropologo It's more about the tracking / recording aspects. So everything from mono tracking, to quad tracking and tone stacking. The full details and chapter breakdowns are listed on my website. I have just finished a video about mixing pop punk guitars, so that should be out soon!

@@Locoantropologo Thanks! I'm considering making one on mixing this year, as it's quite an in-depth topic, with lots to cover - which isn't always easy to compact into a 2-3 minute long video. I'm planning on testing a few mixing videos on my channel soon, just to gauge the response from my average viewer. It's definitely something I'm consider for a course in the future though!

Super helpful video. Thank you. In your course do you go into more detail about these types of alternate chords (inversions, extensions, etc.)? And how to layer them?

I never realised until fairly recently just how many bands add a low 5th to powerchords makes them sound huge. It sounds especially good when you add it to A String rooted bar chord. aka like Johnny Ramone

Hey i am no guitarist or bassist but your production videos are amazing! I work and analyze in midi. Got 2 questions about 1st example: why are there 3 notes in the powerchord (which notes?)? And later, are you saying to use different notes in the powerchord (not just I and V)?

@SugarpillProd

Thanks, I'm glad you like them! 1 - A common way to play a power chord on guitar is to add in the octave above the root note. So it goes root, 5th, root octave above. When you invert this, it becomes 5th, root, 5th octave above. 2 - Yes, you can experiment with a bunch of different notes. Generally speaking, the root of the key will work best over everything, but sometimes the 3rd or 5th may sound better. It's all down to the composition and what the chord changes are, which will determine what notes sound best for your drones - it's very similar to vocal harmonies, where you might often default to 3rds or 5ths, but that doesn't mean you can't go outside of those boundaries. Hope that helps!

Hey, great contents as always. These videos are really helpful. I looked for these topics recently and none of the videos were straight to the point as yours, the only thing I would wish for is a little bit more of detail on drone notes, it's not really clear to me as opposed to the other ones. Thanks again for the effort you put on your videos. 👌🏼

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! I could have maybe gone into a bit more detail on the drone notes - perhaps I'll turn that idea into it's own separate video. Basically put, it's just a note that you can add overtop a song section that works with everything else going on, harmonically speaking. For instance, in the little example I play at 1:19, I'm just playing a C octave over everything, and the bass line is outlining the chords. This gives the section a bit of a different feel, as the single octave will sound different overtop of each bass note. The song is also played in C, so it's a note that fits well over most chords from that key - and you can always experiment with your chosen note, it could be the root, 3rd, 5th, etc. The other point I was making at the end is how you can take this concept and apply it to different instruments, or different chords. The Chris Stapleton song is using a droning note, but it's played on an organ, instead of a guitar. And The Stooges song is using a drone note on the guitar, whilst moving the rest of the chords around this note - which is kind of a mashup between what I played, and what the Stapleton song is doing. Hope that makes it a little clearer. Thanks for watching!

What you’re hearing in song 2 is bass. Not inverted guitar.I believe there are three bass tracks on this song. Especially to get it sound this way. One playing the main riff. One playing a recurring nah nah nah nah you can hear after the woo hoos. And then another doing a fifth of the guitar riff. It’s all bass not guitar. An inversion happens on the F. It has to come from the bass.

They are using inverted chords too. Paul Davids did an entire video on it. It's worth checking out if you haven't already.

Could you go into inversions a bit more? This technique works on chords built off the 5th string, but won't work with ones built from that 6th. For example, if i want to play an inverted G, I have to play it on the 10th fret but then it loses its heaviness.

@SugarpillProd

Жыл бұрын

That's kind of the point. You can match the "heaviness" of chords played on the E string, by playing inversions on the A string. So say you had a chord progression like A5, D5, E5. You could play the A as you normally would, and then invert the D5 & E5. This is really helpful when you're mixing, and you want more consistency in the low end. The more strings you skip, the more things tend to become inconsistent, so this is a great way around that. Or you might just prefer the tonal characteristic of an inverted 5th, compared to a regular power chord. Those are the two main reasons I find myself - and others - using them. I'll probably do a follow-up video at some point, going into more depth on how & when you should use them. Hope that helps in the meantime!

Play inverted power chords on the E and A string sounds like you downtuned when you actually didn't

Silverchair used it in their frogstomp record a lot too
