Glad to see you getting outside the diatonic box, and especially into chromatic mediants. Major and minor chromatic mediants are easily among the most interesting kinds of changes, and underutilized in most music (especially popular music).
Great lesson Antoine, just what I was looking for. That finished piece you played reminded me of something by Steven Wilson from his Grace For Drowning album - love that album.
I'm sitting here like, "Yeah, this is great, Antoine, but what's it sound like with a melody?" & you were like, "Hold my beer and listen to this!" It's like you read my mind. Great video as usual!!
I'm just changing the minor scale each time on top of each chord (improvising in D minor scale on top of Dm chord, improvising in Bb minor scale on top of Bbm chord, and so on). Thanks!
@@AntoineMichaudGuitar I see, I understand, each chord you change you play its own scale, if it's a major major scale if it's a minor minor scale, right?
@@AntoineMichaudGuitar When it comes to God chord or even chromatic mediants, does it work the same way? Cromatic Mediants or God Chords, is there a specific scale for these chords? or in an improvisation, improvising for SOLO that contains these types of chords, which scales should I use in relation to Cromatic Mediants or God Chords?
3 steps to write shivering music: 1) learn about scales and their chords as much as you can 2) forget all about major chords and about diatonic scales 3) start writing
Thank you! Longtime songwriter but the piece about stacking minors and poly chords just opened the floodgates
Absolutely beautiful work 😊🎉👍🙏🏼
"Hey You" immediately comes to mind...?
Very useful lesson😎👍
😎👍❤🖖

I always forget how suspiciously similar Phantom of the Opera is to Pink Floyd's Echoes. 😂
Suspiciously stolen...
Roger Waters didn't fail to notice. He has a lyric referencing it on Amused to Death. To be fair, chromatic runs aren't that hard to compose.
I always noticed the same. Thought I was the only one lol @mrt77wv
Echoe - 1971
Phantom of ghe Opera 1985
Love it man! That sounds pretty blackmetal to me! I like the melodies you added on the chord progression too
Love the quick spinal tap reference
4:00 it also the same as in Pink Floyd's "Echoes"
Yeah, Pink Floyd is a trending topic on my channel lately :-) thanks!
I played this thema last week....Dmi Bmi and so.Your videos are very helpfull for me.I started make ambient music 1 year ago.6.35 fantastic.
Love the enthusiasm. Thanks for the videos. I love music theory. Still learning.. but ill get there.
This is basically the only type of song I write....well that along with some extremely heavy death metal metal guitars. Love this lesson.
I love the sound of those ,pretty cool when you're wanting new ideas.
Excellent Lesson Antoine! Definitely set the "feeling" of uneasiness and dread!
I love Augmented chords and diminished chords
Very Opethy!
Oh yeah, Opeth are all over this concept!
Great lesson Antoine, just what I was looking for. That finished piece you played reminded me of something by Steven Wilson from his Grace For Drowning album - love that album.
Oh yeah, definitely! Thanks Steve :-)
Yes, I think you mean the song Belle de Jour. I think it is in Am. Great track. It sounds so sad and dreadful but so beautiful...to me anyway LOL.
@@electricwhiterabbit yes that's the one.
Definitely using this for writing some doom metal riffs, excellent video
first half of the intro sounds like the outro to blackwater park.
Ooh I used this technique a couple of years ago in the soundtrack of an amateur short film
Very cool!
You always present things that I never would have thought of. Great stuff.
So many great storylines from this progression!
thank you, clear explanation, beautiful music and also very pleasant tone of guitar
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent sir
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us !!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching, Joseph!
This is how I write my stuff!! Modal music is the best😜
Good topic, Antoine!👌
Sounds great!!
Great video, thanks Antoine!
Excellent! Thank you
Another great lesson man!
You're a genius ha
Awesome. Thanks.
Ok that right at the beginning sounds like straight out of The Last of Us.
Great progression!👍🙌
Fantastic stuff !!
Many thanks!
exelente, saludos desde argentina
Beautiful lesson 👍
Nice. Also try diminished and or augmented chords, and augmented 4ths corn increased unease.
Stellar 🔥🤟
The first progression reminds me of Freya's theme from Final Fantasy IX.
Surfing that algorythm apocalypse is always gonna get suggested
👍This could be a Pink Floyd song from the late sixties/early seventies era.
Thank you for the door-opening lesson. What are you playing for the melody, scales, arpeggios?
I'm just improvising on a natural minor scale, changing on each respective chord (D minor scale, Bb minor scale, etc)
I like mediants, esp a minor 3rd up and a major 3rd down. Sound Floydy.
Cool, you made black metal without distortion.
Im actually very good at doing this scary unsettling type music. The only problem is im not aware when im doing it.
I'm sitting here like, "Yeah, this is great, Antoine, but what's it sound like with a melody?" & you were like, "Hold my beer and listen to this!"
It's like you read my mind. Great video as usual!!
Haha, so cool!
When you pull some high gain on it. It become darkmetal 😂😂
phantom of the opera = echoes pink floyd
very good, congratulations video Dude
How do I do a SOLO, or improvise over chromatic mediants chord, what scales should I use for that?
I'm just changing the minor scale each time on top of each chord (improvising in D minor scale on top of Dm chord, improvising in Bb minor scale on top of Bbm chord, and so on). Thanks!

so thats how opeth do opeth things
Oh yeah! I have an Opeth lesson on how they make their chords if you want to see it. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/xN4CQcJMMO4/видео.html
Sounds like Gollums Song + Pink Floyd + Goonies Spooky parts

SOME BLACK METAL VIBES.INTERESTING🤔
Hi there what reverb are you using :)
Neunaber Immerse Mk II. Awesome reverb!
Echoes of Pink Floyd have a sound like this
1:00 "Lick my love pump" XD
I waited to see who would be the first one to point it out in the comments. You were the fastest, congratulations ;-)
iron maiden made a musically career out of those chord ideas!
Dm - The key of Lick My Love Pump
Just learn Black Sabbath Songs
