Just a Line 6 Pocket POD and a TC Electronic Nova System

[spartacus]

hmm, pretty good, ive got that part down but now im tryin to learn how to improvise on progressions and make solos and stuff.
Any advice would be loved

[stringsam]

Cool video. Thanx for this, i really needed

[drinksprite]

theres a lot of common chord progression patterns that u can use in any key. and certain ones create certain types of feel

[hackfraud]

What can i do if i want to make something new and fresh

[MrLaserprint]

@skaterunknown4ever basically you can only play the notes in the scale of E major if you are playing in that key and the same for all other keys so you can only play the chords that are notes in the scale.

[mikeswanofficial]

@doneasunder i think this was written in their mind as a guide to people who know the chords already. like i know whats he has said because i've been taking lessons for awhile. but song writing is a personal thing so just experiment and you'll gradually learn and get better

[Pukis]

How to know that for Emaj that D A B majors are the best choices? Is it from the the scale?

[GraceyBabey]

What does he mean by picking the right chords for the key of E - can someone send me a list of each key and their chords (A, b, c...) or explain it to me?

[aomrulestotally]

that pink floyd sound that was Wish You Were Here :p

[MrLaserprint]

@skaterunknown4ever yes it does work, it starts to get complicated when you bring modes into the equation but this is pretty easy really ;)

[SatchelBungDaddy]

@wtfwasthatt Of course you don't have to have to pick chords in the main scale every time. There are many different modes that you can choose from as well as modulating from key to key and having secondary dominants and adding more color by adding 7th, 9ths, 11ths, and so on... But the reality is that this video is targeted towards beginners. And you have to understand the basics before you start exploring the infinite possiblities in theory, and that's what this video does.

Kind of, Slipknot has more of a distorted and higher pitch to it in my opinion.

[ryanthomaskendall]

@musician2themax i thought it just had to end on the route chord

[SatchelBungDaddy]

@RockRightful I think you interpretted it wrong. He is not a professional song writer, but perhaps a professional guitarist. You don't have to be a song writer to write a song... if that makes any sense lol. He used a ii-V progression for the verse and a I-V-IV progression for the chorus. Very common progressions.

[Randomname]

It was kinda like "Little By Little" by Oasis

[JackIntheBK]

@RockRightful
He was just saying a hypothetical situation..

Breathe. Breathe in the air. haha 1:53
