In this Doom Metal Guitar Fundamentals lesson, we discuss two note chord shapes, or dyads, and how they apply to doom metal. I show you some practical stoner, doom, and sludge style examples and we discuss how they can be applied when writing your own doom metal riffs.

Thanks Steve, always been a big fan of the technique videos, looking forward to trying this out later 🙂
Awesome! Looking to do some more technique videos. If you have any ideas for topics that you’d like to see, let me know!
Pro tip: A fourth is an inverted fifth. If you play it on the lowest strings it can sound like a power chord that's impossibly low for your guitar.
Absolutely!
Using fifth-root (playing Drop D style riffs without the drop) and having my 5 string bass double the roots is my go to for super heavy riffs that are very clear especially if they need to have some speed to them.
I just tried it and it's sooo thiccc! Thank you, brother (or sister)🙏🤘
Pro tip. That was a beginner tip
So any note with any other note. Got it
Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats is a great example of a band that uses all these various dyads in their riffs. Melody Lane is a good example.
Nice.
Please Steve do a tutorial of melody lane!
Exactly! They made it their thing totally!
Matt Pike is such an awesome guitarist who doesn't get talked about much, glad you mentioned him
Not quite doom (although definitely doom-adjacent) but "Water Is Not Enough" by Neurosis has a killer riff that seems like it's totally composed of these dyad ideas.
My fingers can hold some pretty fancy "jazz" chords but I get the most enjoyment playing just two notes and some heavy distortion... Great lesson.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I need to learn more fancy jazz chords I think lol.
Never heard a CrowBar song i Didnt like!!!🤘
Same.
Fact
This was SO fkn great, Steve !!! I must have written 12 riffs o'er the weekend using a veritable host of dissonant dyads & mixing them with power chords. It has opened up a whole new world of sound for me. Thank you so much !!! 🥰
That’s incredible. Glad to hear it!
Great lesson as always. As newcomer to playing doom/sludge I can’t tell you how helpful your channel has been. Any more trucker hats coming out?
Thanks dude. Glad you enjoyed it. Haven’t done a run of hats in a long time. Maybe we need to!
Nothing to do with this lesson, although it's been helpful.. 10/10 Isaiahs would love to see a lesson on Junkie by BuzzOv•en
Drop it on the official request list for me at doesitdoom.com/requests
A diad is the Rosetta Stone interpreter for proper communication between your brain and your fingers. Thanks Steve!
Omg you’re fuct
You've gotten me back into playing bass again- even these awesome kind of lesson/tutorial videos are appreciated!
I know its kinda a peculiar question but I was wondering if there could be a potential future video of "Doom"ing riffs from DimeBag Darrels' catalog?
Glad you're digging the lessons, man! I'll have to think on the DimeBag thing. I don't really consider most of his riffs to be very doomy, but it's been a long time since I listed to a lot of Pantera.
I can totally imagine how sick Walk and Godamn Electric would sound doomed out , I'd love to hear some Pantera songs made into a doom version 🤘
You gotta get out behold to the riff. It's a great doom bass channel
This is a joke right?
Lmfao
It's incredible how 2 notes can create the unimaginable ❤
Just tried black dahlia murders tuning it aint doom but its pretty cool
Dude, are you aware of a band from Italy named Haunted? they are my favorite doom metal band.
Hey, thanks for the straight up lesson! It was a useful refresher, and nice not to feel like I'm being sold something along the way. Have resubbed.
Great lesson, Steve! I’ve known about this from grunge era stuff where it was also all over. Intervals and inversions of any of these dyads sound dope on that Baghdad too! That harmonic layer it adds is so great.
Thanks dude! I haven’t stopped playing the Baghdad since we finished the circuit tbh. It rules.
I got that Jawn on the Patreon preorder and have zero regrets. I love it on my big amps. Just instant doom. 🎉
I think its not clear enough to hear what your saying your doing
* droptunes and promptly morphs into young Saruman.
✨🧙🏻♂️✨
Can some one explain what he means by 2 note interval?
An interval is the musical distance between two notes. You might find this video helpful: Doom Metal Guitar - Interval Theory Basics

Anybody that jumps down your throat for trying to help other people make music they enjoy can suck it!
Go read through the comments of my “Crowbar Chord” video! Lol.
@@DoesItDoom Bro, people suck. They have no idea what a phenomenal privilege it is to have access to the infinite content that RUclips provides. I'm 53, and gave up on guitar at 20 and didn't pick it back up for real until a few years ago. It's freaking guitar heaven now. If I had this back then, I probably would have never left my room and would be at least a moderately good player today.
Thank you for all that you do! And $#@! the haters!
These chord videos are always very helpful, thank you!
Great! Have some ideas for more.
Steve Reis is your friend!!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
OMG BORING!!!
Great channel man, very illustrative, perfect for a beginner such as myself! Tons of cool riffs
Awesome! Thanks for watching. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I used to call those 'reverse' power chords :0
Makes sense.
Man the timing of this is great, I'm bummed about the riffs I'm coming up with. It's been pretty demoralizing. Thanks for making this 🤘
Try it out! Will add some unique character to your riffs for sure.
@@DoesItDoom I will! Watching this right now and it's already giving me ideas to try out.
@@AcidFink666 awesome!
Great video. This is very much in my style after being a huge fan of bands like High on Fire, Crowbar, and Fear Factory. Dino Cazares uses this technique a lot also (check out songs like Replica, and Descent). I just didn't know what these shapes were all called. Thanks for the content!
Yep Uncle Acid is full of them. Usually played as harmonies with 2 guitars (not always) but they can all usually be played as dyads on one guitar. Eg. Mt Abraxas, 13 Candles, Slow Death and many more. The band is awesome
Indeed!
Are the gold burst Warlords coming back anytime soon?
Next year sometime.
For a moment I was like "wtf is a Z-Standard Tuning?!" lol
😂😂😂
I just stopped by because I saw Saruman. Never knew he had an axe.
✨🧙🏻♂️✨
Have you ever listened to A Better Tomorrow’s 2021 debut album “Spiritual Crossing?” Probably my favorite experimental doom album of that year. It is very unique for a variety of reasons. I think the first track has a good chance of blowing you away, at least.
No. Will check it out.
@@DoesItDoom Let me know what you think of it if you do get a chance to listen to it! Virtually no one knows about this album it is a shame!
THANK YOU, i was just playing the famous diad 5th aka powerchord with the root and 5th 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
all hail to Goth Doom & Funeral Doom
and to your sexy guitar despite not been black color
hey look for MESMUR you may thank me for it some day..
the riff you did at the intro made me think of their tone
ultra underrated band... tragically
and don't even make me mention TEMPESTUOUS FALL and MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY
Nevermind i see the sexy black version of that guitar in the background
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a complete Night moonlight love with lots of Castlevanian bats and Vamps 🖤
Haha! Will check ‘em out. Thanks for watching.
you cool my brother
very glad to find DoomMetalheads kindred souls out there
and thank you for letting me know that you been reading my comments
yeah those are great underrated modern Doom Metal/ Ambient Black bands
trust me the more you listen to them the more addicting the they
i also love doing my own Doom music
in the works to do a full instrumental Metal band with lots of Doom/Funeral aspects in it
@@GothicXlightningsame here bro i absolutely love when he responds to comments of mine too. he’s taught me so much and continues to do so, so i’m glad he’s cultivated a bunch of doom lords
@@nephilimritual-band
May you all stay Blessed by the Night my Doomer Lords & Sis out there
and never lose the dreams and the hopes no matter how many shitty soulless Normies around us tries to brainwash us with their mainstream GARBAGE
Keep Resisting and existing my clan
Im not familiar with modern bands but I was into Paradise Lost and I Listen to Deftones a lot as well
They both use some odd drop tunings and use different diad chords . You can hear them a lot
Definitely.
can you do a guitar lesson her sisters they were weak by witchcraft?
Maybe! Drop it on the official request list at doesitdoom.com/requests
Not a Doom Metal kinda kind. But I enjoy your channel. Keep it Sabbath be a National Acrobat lol
Can we get a "Brother In The Wind" lesson?
Such a great song.
Saruman teach you how to play guitar riffs 😁
✨🧙🏻♂️✨
Talking of dyads... Maybe you could do a tutorial of High on Fire's Ethereal one of these days? Ive always wanted to play that song
Main root to hammer octave 3rd triad, I called it fancy doom😂 that was my sprinkling. My homies never agreed but I always reminded them I do tech death😂 Great video bro!
There are 20+ minute videos explaining intervals on RUclips yet you did it in like 2 minutes, good job
Thanks man, you're pure talent musician and teacher, with your genre I have pro tip - firstly be an absolute beast of tone 😊
Thanks for watching. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The verse riff from To Cross The Bridge uses dyads too, 5-7 and 5-8
They are all over the place in his riffs for sure.
I’d come across these two string chords before but didn’t know what they were called. The PDF is really handy for seeing the full set.
Awesome!
Awesome video :-) Iommi forever
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I would have like to finish watching your video, but I'm tired of clicking on "skip ad"
the body shape on that guitar is basically perfection. Any thoughts on a 24 fret version? Also curious about the Woodrite logo - so much of the Does It Doom brand is metal AF, and the Woodrite logo just seems kind of... like Flanders from the Simpsons?
Anyhow, I love your videos! They always make me think about playing guitar a little differently.
dyads actually not chords you need three note minimum thats basic music theory but yeah nice lesson and i know in english a fifth is called power chord to, dont want to be picky but you guys will understand riff machines better if you know how to build a basic chord and what is the main difference. And your writing vids are really helpfull so keep doin thx
What is the purple amp you have on the top there? Obviously custom but i cant tell exactly from the controls. Just curious thank you!
This is super useful, but do you, or in general, use these shapes harmonically? Like built them off of a scale or just added to build tension?
Dyad = two note chord
Triad = three note chord
Quadad = what Elmer Fudd ate on his trip to New Orleans
When I want to make some doom, I tune my 7 string to drop A then selet the Drop Tune setting in my Whammy pedal then turn on my Digitech Death Metal.
For some reason these chords makes me remember mastodon
Makes sense.
Maybe shell voicings, like a root,3rd and 7th shape?
unisons are incredibly underrated in metal. varg made excellent use of them in keliohesten
1:36 did you just play Kashmir?
Ha! Kinda sounded like it.
Whoa I found Gandalf, but he's a doom Metalist!!!
✨🧙🏻♂️🐐
@@DoesItDoom 😲 HE REPLIED! Thank you, good sir! 🙏
Actually... more like Saruman! No offense, that's just great 😅
Thanks for another great lesson Steve. It's a good resource for a bad guitar player like me. Greetings from Mendoza, Argentina! 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I understand sometimes
And I thank you for sharing
your hair look great today, my dear sir!
🧙🏻♂️✨
My man is just flexing with that octave finger stretch haha
Mr Tony Iommi started it all but did it much better than the crap you hear today 😮
Ataraxie use the root minor 6 very effectively
Wait, that’s what they’re called? 👍🏽😋🤘🏽
I learned about these from the first two October Tide albums (which are masterpieces).
Awesome!
I always felt that the band down was on spot with the power cords
That Bagdad sounds damn good!!!
It’s a beast! ⚔️
🤘👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹🤘co za fantastyczny zajebisty dźwięk bro przyjacielu to jest to super
Thanks, brother!
I didn't realize chords had more than 2 notes haha
The way you explained that, it actually made sense to me for once. Deff subbing and checking more shit out
Glad to hear that! Thanks for the sub.
Matt Pike uses Dyad Chords all his life (I wrote it before you said that on 3rd minute 😀)
Nailed it. This entire video could have been based on Pike riffs. Lol.
@@DoesItDoom Matt Pike for President!
Your my hero...seriously i love you.jk.i do tho.
Thanks for this lesson, this stuff is super helpful. Could you maybe make a (similar) video on how to spice up your chords in drop tuning?
Cool idea. All of the concepts discussed here apply, the intervals just shift. Give it a try.
So awesome, and so much versatility! Thou has to be my favourite band ever and they use so many diads but especially on the breakdown on fucking chained to the bottom of the ocean they are absolutely earth-rending.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome lesson. Thanks! I use a lot of these concepts in my own playing. Toward the end though, when you're talking about the major 6th dyads, it looks like your fretboard is actually showing a minor 7th interval rather than the intended major 6th. This is also true in the PDF link.
If it were rooted on the 5th or 6th strings it would indeed be a b7 interval, but because of the tuning interval between the G and B strings (a Major 3rd rather than the perfect fourth between the other strings), it ends up a Major 6th.
Oh cool I was just on autopilot and thinking about all the relationships being the same for a second there, I wasn't really paying attention to the starting string. This makes so much more sense now haha. Thanks again for the fun lesson. Love your channel!@@DoesItDoom
@@justingoersthanks for watching, man. Glad you enjoyed it.
Tool's Pneuma has some good dyad work as well.
Ihave wanted a Green to play my death metals through for years. Hopefully one day ill snag one
So good!
Thank you, i loved the Octave!! Been composing some things these days and i was kinda lost on how to move 😅 thank you thank you!! ❤
Glad to hear that! Happy riffing.
Could you teach some tips to get the salems pot sound
I tried doom but preferred Duke nukem metal
Nirvana > Doom
I got to chat with Dave for awhile this summer. Great guy. Was pretty cool.
So, are you saying there are Other chords other than two string diads? No way!!
None that I’m aware of actually. 😂
Hey Steve, this is a great lesson, thank you for taking the time to do this. The Baghdad and the Matamp, is a great pairing. If you have the time, I would really appreciate if you posted the settings used on the Baghdad. Cheers
Sure! Baghdad settings were treble, bass, pres, vol, gain, and drive all around 1 o'clock, mid set max, depth set around 11 o'clock. Drive on the Matamp was set around 9 o'clock, so about as clean as you can run it.
@DoesItDoom thanks Steve, that's great 👍🏻, I appreciate you sending me this.
Fuck yeah Crowbar
You are the source my brother!!! Great lesson!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I’m somewhere below the source. More like a medium. 🛐
@@DoesItDoom Ahh man, you’re selling yourself short brother!!! I love these little informative lessons, they’re very helpful!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I think using a mix of the sixth, third, fourth, and fifth dyads, and moving the two notes differently from each other, would probably create a really convincing illusion of two different but dependent melodies played simultaneously in a doom metal context
Music theory really is amazing. Nice work.
Worth learning to some degree for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video.
What’s the purple amp on top of the matamp
A Randall RG80 combo cut down and retolexed as a head.
Thanks appreciated
What kind of guitar is that? 👌
Saruman
Diad not dyad 😂
I thought so too… but look it up, it’s dyad.
Saw ya with the hm2 cult shirt. I love the crowbar riff, always have. Through the ashes has always always been a big deal for me. Love your channel. Thank you
delicious dissonant dyads.
aha the metal gandalf is here
thank you for this video. helped shed some light on my questions as I transition from playing bass to guitar.
I use them alot
Makes me not want to play in drop tuning
The same concept works in drop tuning! Give it a try.
@@DoesItDoomYeah absolutely, in fact you can get sounds that are harder to get in standard. Soundgarden used that a lot
