Great interview!!
Rick Graham much respect Rick!
Rick, when are u gonna be on this show?
@@jaredy18 he already did..
Awesome
Yea
Aaron is one of my favourite players because he is just so clean, and smooth flowing melody. One of those guys you really feel like its coming out him, rather than calculated playing.
Rick, your love of music is just so contagious. Thanks for sharing as always. Your channel is fantastic! Hope to see you at NAMM
Amazing as always, Rick. You NEED to have Emil Werstler on the show. The level of playing, and music knowledge that you two would unlock, would be unreal.
That dark green is so mystical.
sooo fun...!!...great job brothers..!
So cool guys! Such an awesome interview. Love Aaron's playing
Rick, great interview. I will be looking into Aarons' work. I appreciate the intro to Aaron...
This man and Plini are great commonwealth exports!
Rick thats the best tone that guys ever had! Real amp is the way to go..
Been listening since The Space Between. Aaron's a god in my book
When Rick says that you play very melodic, you know you did something right.
man im still hoping this comment becomes true haha
Aaron is excellent. He's the archetype of the super-bright, thoughtful, creative artist that is pushing progressive rock/metal forward. He's professional, well-educated and a super-amazing player with the skills to also produce what he wants. Between Aaron, Misha, Nolly, Plini, Guthrie, Tosin, Javier, Taranto and many others Progressive metal is more interesting than it's ever been. Kudos to all.
IMO progressive music has declined. Not because there are not plenty of brilliantly skilled players out there. IMO they have concentrated on being skillful, but not being 3 dimensional. For instance, early progressive music, let's say "Close to the Edge" by YES. Listen to that masterpiece and show me anything even remotely as mind-bending as that. AFAIK it doesn't exist anymore. And the vocalists of progressive music now...meh. I'm also hearing a lot of similarity between players in the upper strata now, as they all attune to the intervals that are practical on a guitar. So what we have, as I see it, is many more fantastically hard working artists who can play really fast, clean, and flawlessly, but they are missing something.
In much of music I hear people in for the glory. And despite their humble appearance, you must be one helluva ego driven person to become this skilled. It's the nature of the beast. But in that focus, service to the music is muddled, or lost. IMO the greatest thing that an artist can do is to serve the music, rather than their own ego. And I see very little other than ego in music today. Yes, a vast and powerful ego is necessary to make music for any length of time. And for you to know how good what you are doing is, you also need that magnificent ego. But you also need perspective, which is something ego really sucks at. But we've created a scenario where ego now drives everything. And we lost something in the transition. Cheers.
@@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive dude listen to the first Haken studio album and tell me it isnt more of a mind fock than CTTE
@@killmepls7865 Thanks for the recommendation. Listening now to "Streams". Definitely different. I like it so far. But it ain't no CTTE, but they are now on my list.
@@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive Yeah also check out their song Cockroach King from their third album, especially if you like Gentle Giant ;-)
@@killmepls7865 haken is doing nothing for me
Archetype Aaron is next. Let's go NeuralDSP
Oh yes!
That and Archetype Zytecki 😍
Aaron and Owane would be awesome
I would but that In a heartbeat
A year later it’s and it’s a tragedy this hasn’t happened yet. I bought the Nolly plug-in, will probably get Plini at some point, but holding out for this 🤞
Intervals was my most listened artist in 2019.
same here
Of my decade 😍
Järvi his music is certainly addicting.
That's awesome! I just discovered him in November, so it's a real coincidence for me to see Rick sit down with him so shortly after I got to learn about him.
it was for me back in 2016 with The Shape of Colour. Man that album is tight, and all recorded in E Standard!
😂 rick loves talking theory...the way his face lights up 🤣
Prog Rock had had some of the most influential and impactful experiences for me in music. Definitely one of the more technical and advanced, but that's what really makes it imo. Everything about it can have something new for everyone. Awesome work man!
RC32 yeah, I agree. If you managed to find it online have a look for Deep Purple live BBC sessions. They did two sessions in one in Maida Vale London. There was only a few people there because it was a really intimate gig, but it allowed Ritchie Blackmore to play lines similar to this. Just soft clean picking up and down the fretboard while everyone else put their instruments down. One record was recorded 1970, the other record was 1972.
Richie even went into classical soft lines which was really beautiful.
@@RB747domme That's amazing man! I'd definitely need to check that out!
The influences from other genres make it more friendly to listeners who particularly don’t like low chugs with screaming, which is why I just love it so much, and it’s cool because it seems that people who don’t play guitar can enjoy this music on the same level.
Man, he seems like a genuinely nice and humble guy! Edit: Oh, he's Canadian.
Compliment retracted then, since that's just how he is without working for it.
kek with its four rock stars...and cross-dressing PM.
Yeah because Allan Legere, Gilbert Jordan, John Martin Crawford, Léopold Dion, Paul Kenneth Bernardo, David Michael Krueger, Robert William "Willy" Pickton, Wayne Clifford Boden, William Patrick Fyfe were such a wonderful people :/
@@rcandrews4334 wtf are they?
@@blahdeblah6207 Murderers.
He was insane last Saturday opening for chon and btbam in ATL. Intervals is really heavy live.
NivekIohc saw them a few weeks ago in Seattle. What a great show!
Rick was there! Went to the meet and greet for Chon and saw him in the venue
That sounds like it was a killer show.
Saw them in Milwaukee last month. Pretty killer show and hadn't heard of Intervals before. Got to talk to Aaron after the show and he was a cool guy.
Look forward to seeing them again.
Saw them in Asheville NC. Met Aaron before the show, super nice guy.
I have so much respect for how unafraid Aaron is to represent the things he loves. I remember in the earlier days back when this genre was largely an elitist thing where everyone was very judgmental about any music that wasn't in an odd time or full of drop-tuned chugging or fast tapping riffs. I think this was even before A Voice Within came out, I was following him on Facebook and he posted about how much he was enjoying the new Justin Bieber record and everyone was like "wait, what are you talking about? Justin Bieber is the enemy". He basically responded with "Whatever, if you don't like it, fine, but it's got some good melodies that I'm really into right now. I can almost guarantee you haven't listened to it and you can't just say you hate it because it's pop". That really changed the way I think about music and honestly I feel like I owe him so much gratitude for that. Aaron is an absolute champion.
That’s great
wow the first piece he played was so beautiful and the tone is angelic
“Leave no stone.” One of the best
I think that was improvised
“Flowing intervalic playing”
Couldn’t have said it any better, Rick.
Instrumental rock is my bag and I’m so glad to see it’s in a healthy place. Thanks for exposing me to this cat. I’ve been in my own vacuum for so long.
RDE Lutherie old Bissel bc they are heaviest.
Joe Satchton THIS is helpful. Thank you. Hard to imagine living in a post satch/vai world.
Joe Satchton totally get it. I’m not on the same page re: analog amps, but yah. Maybe I am, though. Most of my guitars have been tracked on Amplitube 3 lol. In denial perhaps.
@@luthiervandros A couple more suggestions for you, Angel Vivaldi and Arch Echo. I'm pretty sure I found Angel Vivaldi about 7 years ago because RUclips suggested it :) Lots of great instrumental bands to be found on here!
Michael Nightingale thank you! This will help me get a sense of which sub genre my own music falls into. I hate not knowing what the hell it is haha.
Always increasingly impressed by Aaron. I first saw Intervals when they were doing a combo line up with Plini in support of Animals As Leaders. It was my first "djent" show and I had a few internal organs dislocated but all of the performers were spot on. I always try to keep an eye on Tosin, Plini and Aaron's activities now. Thanks for having Aaron on, Rick. Great episode.
Thats when I first saw him too!
That's when I first saw him/them, too.
his description of how you over-think a line, and then you can't play it correctly- so true...
A line that you wrote and you’ve literally played a thousand times... just one day you can’t remember.
@@izzate7 it's like guitar dementia
bring plini, chon, polyphia, owane, animals as leaders, sithu aye and periphery.
9:02 is from "Leave No Stone" in case anyone was wondering. One of my favourite songs from the last album!
it is followed by one of the best melody ever
Ty
@Andrei James i think its improv
0:53 it’s the thing which makes me come back to this video everyday
Heard Plini and Intervals in a show before Animals as leaders. Didn't know both and initially came for AAL.
Ended up being hugely disapointed with AAL and fell in Love with Plini and Intervals on the spot.
There might be no singer on most of Aarons stuff, but I can sing a great deal of every song on the shape of color (and all other records) because the melodies and the compositions are so strong.
the holy trinity, i wish i was there
aal tends to sound a bit chaotic, while Plini and Intervals have a clear melodic line
Rick - Please invite him back. He's great at the axe and the interview!
Anyone noticed how all the Marshall amps are on Aaron Marshall's side of the background?
What Aaron learned from Pat, I learned from Guthrie. Understanding how to use those passing chromatic notes is absolutely game-changing.
He sounds a bit like Eric Johnson here.
Aaron is just pure taste.
this is dope I just played sweet tooth for my guitar recital
nice work dude, been working on that one too. great tune, large parts of it are too hard for me!
Check out Tenemos Roads by National Health. Such underrated prog.
Tenemos Roads is an all time favourite of mine. All hail Dave Stewart and the Canterbury scene. The Egg, Matching Mole, National Health of course featuring Neil Murray on bass guitar. Hatfield and the North as well naturally. Final mention of Amanda Parsons who sings on Tenemos Roads. A great vocal on an otherwise instrumental track. Phil Miller on guitar and Pip Pyle on drums...Amazing!!
Intervals music is like a cross between Pat Metheny, Joe Satriani, and Liquid Tension Experiment
I hear a lot of the Dream Theater precision in their music, which of course is the genesis of LTE.
James Goddard I hear some Gabriel in there, which is the genesis of Genesis.
Funny you say that because his use of the tremolo instantly reminded me of JP. In fact his clean tone in general does...very piano like.
good 'un Thanks for mentioning my favorite guitar player of all time, Steve Morse. You’re absolutely right. Petrucci absolutely idolized Morse, as do I.
I don’t see any LTE in his music at all. Listen to arch echo, that is LTE influence.
No one plays more melodic or beautiful riffs than Aaron. His hooks are KILLER.
Awesome stuff! RUclips needs real interviews with real musicians and this nails it.
This guy is obviously very good. But he just made me realise that recently i'm starting to develop a dislike for (most use of) tremolos.
Well, to each their own. It's just another tool. Use it or don't. It has its benefits just like everything else.
@@TheGuitarifier Exactly.... I've probably seen a Jeff Beck video in the past year since this comment and thought it was very appropriate use of whammy..
Intervals played one of the best sets of Download 2019. I was front row and it was super tight. Worth noting that they played the same stage as Plini a year before, which was the first ever instrumental set at Download. and in 2019 there were at least 4 instrumental bands, which says a lot about the new progressive metal movement
Glad I caught this interview. I’d never heard of Intervals until now. I checked them out on Spotify.
They have a new fan.
Andy Bell don’t support Spotify not good for artists
@@jakemf1 I'm sure he'll stop using it because you said so.
@@jakemf1 Aaron has actually said that Spotify keeps the lights on. Spotify is only "bad for artists" when they sign their intellectual property away to a label to takes the majority of the money they should be making from Spotify.
Great interview. Please get Owane, David Maxim Miccic and Nick Johnston on your show!! :-)
i've never heard Intervals before. based on his playing, and already liking Mogwai, EITS, and Red Sparowes, i'm gonna check em out.
Guys like him and Plini seem like super nice people. They are about the guitar not themselves, it seems. He seems like the guy to learn Modes from since his playing is chord based.
Hi Rick, Great interview ! Aaron Marshall is a really innovative and fluid player, in many ways he reminds me of the connectivity that Carlos Santana has in his guitar style, even though they have such different backgrounds and influences, they both have a very similar connectivity to their instruments ! Aaron is an incredible talent and I think that he's one of the most creative players out there today ! Thank you Rick, this was a really great 'up close and personal' opportunity to see this exciting guitarist.. Lary
YES! Love Aaron, he's the man. Owane next please!
Impulsively Responsible is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's so clean and aggressive, patient yet forceful. I've listened to it probably 500 times and I catch something I've never heard before each time I listen to it. What an incredibly written piece.
It's so refreshing to see Rick geek out when Aaron is playing.
HE PLAYS THE LICK!!!!!!!! 15:30 It's a little inverted, but it's there. @havic5
Hey Rick, I think you ought to interview Sarah Longfield for not-quite-linear playing.
Michael Schürig way over rated
Rick please do a video- Music-Art Vs. Product///entertainment vs way of life/religion
The clean sound is so GOOD🎸🎸🎸🎸
I agree ! Nice 'n smooth player !
at first i'm thinking "who is this?", then, "this guy's cool, and really good." and then 'no vocals' and i remember he did a track with Polyphia. and now i gotta go learn more about Intervals. Phil McKnight intro'd me to Polyphia, and now Rick intros me to Intervals. awesome.
You have to start with the first albums sir. Know the history, and hear the transformation. Brilliant artist.
@@cripsician that's definitely how I examine new artists *New to me I should say
Thanks for the heads up fellas.
@@LYLEWOLD check out CHON as well!
Can anyone educate me on the specific theory that Aaron is applying when he makes all those linear runs , like from 1:04 - 1:27? And how does he know which chords to put together?
WHAT MAKES THIS DISCOGRAPHY GREAT THE BAND IS INTERVALS
You should talk with Michael Romeo ! ...Like if Rick Beato should interview a Symphony X member !
can somebody explain me the first progression that Aaron played in the video, such a colorful sound but didn't understand the theory behind it
Hmmm... that teal Mayones Regius 6 and it even has a trem!
Really should get Rohan Stevenson from I Built the Sky on the channel.
Absolutely
@@erichatchett87 dude's a fuckin legend!
Aaron has an extremely unique sound. His licks are some of the most tastiest I’ve ever heard!
Rick's eyes glazing over and bobbing his head side to side is one of my favorite little things about watching him listen to music
You've covered Plini , Periphery and Aaron Marshall, now you only have left to cover the Master : Tosin Abasi
Loving your work Aaron, i am a big prog fan, love Porcupine Tree Dream Theatre Guthrie Govan ,Steven Wilson. that type of guitar is technical and fluid, create great soundscapes to work around, Great video Rick, always great to catch up with you, the master,
His guitar is so beautiful, anyone can give the model/ name please?
Mayones Regius Core Aaron Marshall Signature
@@terryvoorbij6260 He doesn't have a signature guitar with his name yet. But if I remembered correctly he said he's currently developing one with Mayo on Premier Guitar's rig rundown video.
Mayones Regius Core (Custom)
I have been listening to instrumental tracks that have had the vocals removed, everything from Iron Maiden to Rush, the music is great even without the vocals. This also allows me to get closer to the drum sounds when I try to emulate while playing.
Love this! What a melodic player. I’ll be listening to Intervals today. Thanks Hypes!
Very well spoken and articulate gentleman!
I'm not even a huge metal/prog fan but I love Aarons playing and all the intervals records, even the one with lyrics which everyone seems to hate.
That's something that my playing lacks are long runs.
Aaron writes the BEST hooks ever. His albums, The Shape of Colour and The Way Forward have some of the best hooks I have ever heard in music. Aaron is a badass and I would kill to have a few lessons from him. If you haven't heard any Intervals and you like prog or even guitar rock, then this is the man for you. Both my grandparents passed away in 2016 and I got them both into Intervals at ages 85 and 81. My grandfather was a huge country music guy and he loved Aaron's playing, they both did. Love how he demos Leave No Stone like it's nothing
Sir Can you interview Stephen Taranto? About his playing techniques.🎸
Aaron Marshall was the most influential person in getting me back into caring about music. I missed telling him that in Calgary when him and Plini opened for AAL. I've never watched somebody play with so much joy. HE comes out when he plays, and I appreciate that.
That was such a phenomenal tour!
@@Gwunhar I never got a plintervals shirt. Will always be my favorite bromance. haha
@@curtislitchfield1378 I was lucky enough to get one! It's one of my favorite pieces of tour swag.
Oh man, Intervals has got to be together with Plini THE most listened bands for me. Absolutely love em both.
One thing that really separates Intervals/Aaron from most of the other "progressive metal" bands is that he uses mostly major chords which keeps the vibe uplifting while still having the heavy tone. Quite unique combination, imho.
Janne Jaakkola doesent play in drop z also
Question: does anyone know what Aaron means on 2:15, that because he is is Ab, he can take advantage of E Lydian sound? I'm trying to wrap my head around it but my theory backbone is lacking something.
Amazing interview, love these guys.
because he is using it as a passing tone that what he meant i think
So tasty and that new Mayones is killer
I still remember seeing intervals in a tiny club in Manchester, supported by polyhpia. That night was a true eargasm, everything was absolutely perfect!
Love Aaron and his band. They were referenced to me after I was binge on TesseracT two years ago.
Your Jazzy feel is a welcome reemergence in prog music which used to be very prevalent in bands like Emmerson Lake and Palmer.
It's interesting to see you being a Pat fan, and Paul Masvidal from Cynic also said he was a huge influence. Your clean playing style reminds me of his somewhat, Aaron.
That us the sexiest mayones ever! A signature that could come in a 7 would be a instant buy. Damnnnn...
Love to see Rick interacting with new musicians with instruments playing live. Congrats on creeping into 1.25M area!!
representing Toronto!,,,
Intervals is easily one of my favorite bands. I love how they mix the prog, rock, jazzy vibes. Really fun band to listen to.
The In Time EP is my favorite Intervals album...followed closely by The Space Between and The Way Forward... really dig their heavy yet melodic stuff! :D
I also enjoy the instrumental music of artists like Owane, Sithu Aye (Invent the Universe is awesome), Plini, David Maxim Micić, The Helix Nebula, Haamoja, Sergey Golovin, Guthrie Govan, Heavy Metal Ninjas, Marco Sfogli, and Andy James!
Dan C You should listen to Stephen Taranto and Wes Thrailkill.
Josué S. Aragón good stuff... looks like I’ve listened to some of Stephen Taranto’s music before... so many talented artists!
Intervals are awesome! Together with Plini, David Maxim Micic, Arch Echo they are new wave of Progmetal for me.
Great giveaways here, I really like the "drums set tone of the whole record" - exactly, because we make rock, and the feel of the drummer sets the pace. Interestingly most don't get that when I talk about my solo records or High Road Easy, and how important session drummer Magnus Brandell is for me as a composer, guitar player etc.
I love Intervals so much. I discovered them after getting introduced to Rabea through Andertons TV. I checked out Toska and was immediately obsessed with finding more music that gave me that feeling the instrumental prog gives me. I'm in a regular rock band because I just don't nearly have the chops for the music I love so much. I just want to say (under the influence of copious amounts of cold medication), Aaron, you're awesome and thank you for the music.
I got in to them a couple years ago by listening to Animal's as Leaders and Modern Day Babylon. And said then that this is the future of guitar music
Yes!! Have been mentioning Aaron in the comments for so long. Such a good guy and amazing player
Rick, I'm a big fan, but there's a lingering question I have to ask: what do you have against Emerson, Lake & Palmer ???? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Got the same smiling reaction as Rick when Aaron was playing his stuff.. He freaking sounds sooo melodic
i think it would be cool to get will swan from dance gavin dance as a guest on your channel
Aaron seems like such a cool guy, guitarist or not. I want to be his buddy.
Blown away by the sheer genius of these two guys intimate knowledge of everything and beyond.
That guitar is freaking gorgeous
Please do an interview with incomparable Mr. Jakub Zytecki.
Rick,
This is a note to you. Not a comment on this video. This morning while listening to the FUNK genre, it occurred to me that you haven't done any WHAT MAKES THIS SONG GREAT?! in that genre (at least yo my knowlege you have done a lot of them. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Aaron is such an amazing artist and player. I feel pure joy when I hear him play. Thank you for this, Rick.
I met Aaron about 2 years ago when he was on tour in Denver. I was on my way downtown to go to his show and pre-game with a friend. We were in an Uber and just happened to see none other than Aaron Marshall himself walking across the street. So we asked our Uber driver to stop, and my buddy chased Aaron down and asked him what he was doing (or something like this). And Aaron was like "oh ummm..." sidenote: the approach for me and my friend was pretty awkward so nothing against Aaron here haha... anyway, so Aaron's like "oh umm, I'm on my way over to this bar to get a pickle shot." So my friend goes "awesome! We're here to see your show tonight, mind if we join you for a pickle shot? I'll buy." And Aaron agreed so we went into a small bar off of Blake St. in Downtown Denver and had pickle shots with Aaron Marshall and... I think it was their merch guy but I can't remember. Anyway he was super cool, chill, and humble. Not to mention he's an inspiration on the guitar.
Haha im literally wearing the same carhartt hat as you
@Tom Myers yeah lol
anything Aaron plays by himself is so melodic that he could play it unaccompanied and i would gladly listen to it
Intervals-in time is absolutely my fav djent album
So many great band's songs are ruined as soon as the vocals start.. Hate to say it, but Dave Mathews Band comes to mind.
