    The major scale makes the solos sound like Paul Gilbert songs.

    • @HappyMetalMusic
      @HappyMetalMusic  7 лет назад +4

      +Isaac Morrison Haha! Funny enough, I reworked Dave's solo at the end using some PG techniques that I learned over the years. I'm not sure how I would have been able to play some of it otherwise!

  • @Walamonga1313

    spill love across the land
    Loving for happiness
    Something I don't understand
    Sages like me
    Who cross the sea and
    Come to happy lands
    Ask the sheep for their beliefs
    Do you love with your command
    A country that's jointed surely will stand
    My past intact and more contact with the holy spirit of land
    The beginning is near it's crystal clear
    Part of the master plan
    Look on now to Israel it
    Is a happy land
    HOLY PEACE!!

    Basically, any metal song you convert from minor to major sounds either like
    A) Pop Punk
    B) Power Metal.
    While power metal songs are basically thrash if you convert them to minor.

    @dannycomellas 8 лет назад +1

    The changes were noticeable on the fast parts, but were even more apparent when the song slowed down. That's when the key change was more obvious, since each note had more time to sink in. Damn fine job here, fellows. I wish there were some vocals though

    • @Professionalidi0t
      @Professionalidi0t 8 лет назад

      The song is in the same key as the record but instead of using lets say minor 3rd's or flat 5th's, there's "happy" notes like the major 7th. Essentially, it's how Justin would've wrote the song instead of Megadeth.

    Badass!! Best cover I've seen of Hangar 18 hands down. I have met the band when Marty was in the band and Nick was in the band. Got their autographs, even took pictures with them will standing 4' or 5' feet from the stage when they were playing this song. Dave and Marty were killing it, but this cover is just as good as Dave & Marty. If you couldn't see the two people playing me you would never know it was not Dave and Marty playing it. You guys are great, hats off to you!!

    When I clicked on this video, I thought my way through the song, and said 'how do you change the key of a song that is mostly chromatic notes?'
    Now I know.
    And it sounded triumphant. Reminded me of old RPGs from my childhood.
    I'd love to hear some Sonata Arctica. 8th Commandment (Ecliptica, 1999/2014), What Did You Do In The War, Dad? (Pariah's Child, 2014), Black Sheep (Silence, 2001), or Wolf and Raven (Silence, 2001), all seem like they'd be a ton of fun to hear in major keys.

      +XaleManix Thank you! It was a tough one. The verse riff was actually insanely hard to play in major because of how you have to try and fit all of the chromatic notes into the scale!

    This is freakin good!!!. I didn't expect nothing and get this - it kinda sounds better than the original in minor to me. Really impressive playing skills guys..
