Definitely helps to understand what they wrote. I’d love to learn more about how they go about writing and the process. That’s my problem is I’m beginning to understand theory but not to the point that I under how songs are written from scratch.
dude i love when you apply theory to metal. i’m studying theory right now and i have been for a bit. i get really bored of it but these videos make me want to keep goin
Great stuff, excellent theory behind the tune. The most interesting part of the song I find is then piano/bass parts of the bridge… the b9 interval starting in particular, sounds so off but really makes the section along with the guitar parts you explained!
There are instances of jim playing that bridge part with just hammer ons and slides and when ends it he'll descend on the 2nd string going down the fretboard
oh, thank you very much!!! the greatest way to teach the song and some music theory. thanks again) you are the best) looking forward for the next video
I Enjoyed This 🤘🏾 im trying to learn all of slipknots songs with actually learn music theory and guitar. im self taught and a litte guidance is wha i needed
Very interesting video, I think i need to start learn music theory but im lazy to do it :/ . I play the solo just little bit different, because i dont have skill yet :D .. Anyway keep up doing those awesome videos. Stay safe :)
Love music theory but it seems it's pretty difficult for me to grasp at times. I like this one on Slipknot, and this song particularly, which I've been enjoying lately more than usual. Just wondering if you could keep making videos on stuff like this, maybe it'll click more in the future. I also couldn't figure out how you play that opening groove. Hammer on, or something, but it looked so flawless and hard to execute. Plus I got thrown off with the B Minor/C# Locrian point, and how to understand that much less apply it. Anyway, despite needing to watch this a few more times, I really like the idea here. It'd be so cool if we could play Slipknot more readily, and it seems that music theory can help with that.
Good one bro. I'm wondering if you have some of Spanish because of the name of you band "Luna Muerta" that is actually in my mother language Spanish. It's an awesome name bro. Cheers from Spain and carry on with that Dead Moon and the awesome videos here in RUclips.
Very new to music theory, I just wanna know what makes these key changes sound coherent together? From that C key, E Major, F# Minor, what's the science between these keys still sounding like one song?
Hey, Ray. What year is that Strat? The radius of the roundovers on the body looks much smaller than the standard Strat roundover that I'm used to seeing, a lot more like a Tele. I've never seen that on a Strat body before. Is that a signature model or something? I've never been much of a fan of the Strat, but that one looks like it would be more up my alley with the HH, master volume only, and hardtail.. much more of a metal machine!
Loved the video, but I do have a question about modes. C# Locrian should have tendency tones of C#, D, and G, the tonic, flat second, and diminished fifth. I don't see the diminished fifth being played, so would this technically be in C# Phrygian, or C# Minor b2?
Is there a link between e major and f# minor, or they switch keys as they please? i never get how you suppose to change keys, i just focus on one key if a write a song.Does anyone think, oh i need to switch to this key or that key, or they just play what sounds good. I know Jim says a lot he does not know that much theory. This things are just happening or they have some logic?
So here's a question.... when they wrote this, do you think they sat down and worked out the theory side or just jammed it till it sounded right? Not that either way is right or wrong, but I'm curious.
I'm assuming that most people watching this are players I'm hoping someone can give me some input. I'm a newer player and I bought a schecter sls elite 6 string and 7 great guitars but I find the neck on my 6 so thin that I get really bad hand fatigue. So I'm playing my 7 string which feels amazing to me but as a new player I feel like I really need to be learning on a 6 anyways can anyone recommend a modern guitar but with a little thicker and flatter back of the neck profile
@@xanderraymondcharles i mean i watched another tutorial by jim and this wasnt how he played it. It was from AHIG era though, maybe they changed how they play it? The tutorial im talking about definetly sounds closer to the record though.
I watched the fret 12 dvd lesson several times to negate these types of comments. It’s identical to the lesson. I guess these comments are inevitable. Anywho, thanks for stopping in!
@@xanderraymondcharles no dude im serious. The prechorus is also different. Mick does something like: 2-2-3-2-ph3-2-2-3-2------ 2-2-3-2--------2-2-3-2-ph3
There’s not much content like this out there.
It’s theory but you made it fun haha let’s gooo
That’s the goal to make it fun! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Oh duuuuuude, you gotta do more of these. This is awesome
Will Do Andrew! thanks!
Yes. It helps to reverse engineer theory and connect theory to a finished song. Awesome!!

3:27 When the sneeze doesn't come out
Lets go man ray is a legend
hey thanks so much!
3 years late but for someone learning music theory (slowly) and also learning this exact song, it couldn't be any more relevant and fun.
Fuck yeah that’s one of the best vids on theory I’ve seen to date. Stay Metal Ray
hey thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful, only you could make theory enjoyable
Thanks so much Ben!
Love to see more theory videos like this and some lesson videos from you, like creating your own riffs using this theory would be cool.
Great idea!
SUBSCRIBED! Metal doesn't get enough attention for its musical theory. Rock on!
pls more lessons like this! helps me so much as Im trying to figure out music writing. Your content is super appreciated!
dude i love when you apply theory to metal. i’m studying theory right now and i have been for a bit. i get really bored of it but these videos make me want to keep goin
Great video Ray - more content like this would be much appreciated.
sounds like a plan!

This man sets you apart ! Great video keep doing this !
oh, thank you very much!!!
the greatest way to teach the song and some music theory.
thanks again) you are the best)
looking forward for the next video
Hey thank you so much for the kind words!
I was just starting to connect the dots of how the minor scale works in metal and this has helped a ton! Thankyou 🤘🏻
Ray love your content dude. Your music theory vids help so much. KEEP GOING FOREVER MAN!
Gorgeous strat you got there man!!!
I Enjoyed This 🤘🏾 im trying to learn all of slipknots songs with actually learn music theory and guitar. im self taught and a litte guidance is wha i needed
Damn sick video man just found your channel an im surprised you dont have more subscribers (so professional)
Hey thanks so much. I get that everyday... I’ll just keep grinding!
I really enjoyed this video, it's a different perspective for the music theory, keep up with the good work!
This was cool! Down for more vids like this
Thanks so much! You got it!
Loved this man, good to finally hear a music theory breakdown on metal and perhaps even some hardcore in future.
🥺this is amazing keep bringing stuff like this. Do eyeless and disasterpiece
You got it!!!

I hardly understand but I dig this so much.
Nice video dude !! What is your Amps settings on evh ? And resonance ?
Hey ray my all black strat is getting on now and reliced nicely with chips and almost bare mahogany on the jack insert love it would never sell it
Good one bro. I'm wondering if you have some of Spanish because of the name of you band "Luna Muerta" that is actually in my mother language Spanish. It's an awesome name bro. Cheers from Spain and carry on with that Dead Moon and the awesome videos here in RUclips.
Do you have thoughts on the JR Jazzmaster with the Red re-fin on Reverb? I think it looks pretty cool.
Would be so Nice to see a with of you teaching “sulfur” and “Nero forth”

Hey man amazing video, what did you do with mick's signature jackson
hey dude! would you take a look into other Slipknot songs like My Plague, Surfacing or Gematria? :)
Loved the video, but I do have a question about modes. C# Locrian should have tendency tones of C#, D, and G, the tonic, flat second, and diminished fifth. I don't see the diminished fifth being played, so would this technically be in C# Phrygian, or C# Minor b2?
It’s locrian because the G is played in the chorus on the 8th fret of the b string. If it was Phrygian it would be played on the 9th fret
@@xanderraymondcharles gotcha! Thanks for clarifying!

Dude, what string gauge do you use for your drop B and drop A tuning?
So here's a question.... when they wrote this, do you think they sat down and worked out the theory side or just jammed it till it sounded right? Not that either way is right or wrong, but I'm curious.
nice! you should do For The Love of God by Steve Vai next!
Wasn’t the songs gatuar rifts based on the other song called carve
I’ve heard it’s an old riff yeah but I personally don’t know from what song
@@xanderraymondcharles yes it from an mfkr song called carve have a listen I see what I mean man love your vids man keep it up ✌️✌️✌️
What pedal do they use during the chorus
Can you do this on "the negative one" please if you havemt already
awesome video but kind of wish you had used a guitar with fret markers lol
I'm assuming that most people watching this are players I'm hoping someone can give me some input.

Super dope
When we learn this theorys,listening to music become more enjoyeble...
Idk maybe its enjoyble for me😐
That poor guy all that paint for one video
I never get your videos anymore I don't know what the hell's up with that it makes me sad have you just not been making them
I’ve been making 2 or 3 videos a week for the past 18 months....
Tic toc
The intro/main riff is just wrong bro
Edit: I watched the rest of the video, everything is wrong tf?
It’s identical to how Jim plays it in the fret 12 dvd
