![Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady [Album Trailer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/X0HIrS6kUYI/mqdefault.jpg)
It's like a timeline of how emo slowly progressed into mathrock
The two genres are like brothers. The drummer of Cap'n Jazz, who pretty much founded Midwest Emo, went on to start American Football.
Didnt mathrock start with bands like Lungfish and Slint?
mathrock was before. look at 70's bands like rush
@@brkmrtn6495 Slint were only math rock during Tweez, and the genre was already a thing before then
Midwest emo came from emocore, and emocore came out of post-hardcore
Math rock came out of post-hardcore
They are more like sister genres
Stickered telecaster: Not optional
You cannot play math rock without a stickered telecaster, it is a must.
They dramatically improve your tone man.
jonny greenwood
unstructions unclear, purchased tele and put a mcr album sticker on it
But it helps
Level 5 is unreal. I'd love to hear that in a full song
look up ichika nito
Pinus which song of his?
Reminds me of OLmn9pU8pFE
Plini vibe coming from that part
Pinus covet*
0:05 - Level 1 (default emo introduction)
0:27 - Level 2 (more notes)
0:48 - Level 3 (pull-offs)
1:09 - Level 4 (pull-offs & slides)
1:31 - Level 5 (more fast)
1:54 - Level 6 (two-handed tapping)
2:15 - Level 7 (two-handed tapping and strumming)
2:37 - Bonus Level (Dylan Mathheisen's switch)
2:39 - Level 8 (strumming in 7/8)
2:58 - Level 9 (two-handed tapping in 7/8)
3:11 - Level 10 (harmonics)
More fast? I think saying "faster", would be faster.
@@JohnJohnson-fm1gy i think that would be more fast too
@@JohnJohnson-fm1gy Same amount of syllables. One is just grammatically incorrect.
I've heard pop punk songs with melodies like the first level. does anyone know?
level 11: yvette young
I like so much her playing style.
Lvl 12 Ichika Nito ?
Lvl 11 : Tim Henson
level 13: KT chang on bass
Lvl 20 ichika*
Lvl 5: Just beautiful.
Level 5 is the most beautiful one. The harmonies in the background really make it something else.
You’re making emo great again
MEGA!
Never gonna happen. Emo is cringe as fuck.
Joshua Jones bro stop hating, if you don’t like it don’t watch the video
@@RedceLL1978 ok "Joshua"
@@RedceLL1978 Then don't listen and watch at all.
watch how this man turns your basic emo "riff" into a tiny moving parts song
I started listening to emo about a month and its a genre I totally passed because I was too young in its prime. I feel like theres a revival and im liking it.
Emo revival is the best.
you missed it again
Emo goes into hibernation for 7 years at a time and only comes back for 7 months of emo summer
Bruh them Japanese math rock dude's must be on level 13, they're nuts
唐三藏 great channel lmao
Asian kungfu generation are in this realm
@唐三藏 I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but aryans are not an ethnicity.
It was a group of people that spoke similar languages (mainly iranians).
Being white is also not a race.
Its a social construct because, back in the day, in europe, they differentiated between numerous ethnicities that are seen as white nowadays.
For example irish and italian people were heavily discriminated against for their ghettos and low social-economic status, even in america.
Nowadays americans think of the western world as white, but that's not a scientific way to group people.
@唐三藏 You are trolling me, right? Hyperborea is a mythical country that never existed.
I think either they told you bullshit, or you are telling me bullshit.
level 13? youre underestimating them.
I don't know anything about math rock and I have no idea what Midwest emo is, but I saw a Tele and decided to watch. I really enjoyed your playing, especially the 7/8 stuff.
you might like the album This Couch is Long And Full of Friendship by a band called Tiny Moving Parts.
Midwest Emo is basically only called emo because the common lyrical styles. I have listened to American Football's entire discography 8 times now please help me
@@virtueisdead My favourite American Football's album is American Football
Buddy you have a whole lot of music you're about to discover. Check out American Football, Tiny Moving Parts, TTNG, Marietta, Covet, The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die, Don Caballero, Tera Melos and Empire! Empire! (i was a lonely estate)
Adding Home, Like Noplace is There by The Hotelier to that list of emo to check out
Really puts into perspective how CRAZY math rock is. I just started trying to teach myself how to play guitar a few days ago and I feel like I'll never be at level 5 in my whole life.
I believe in you. If you can't believe in you, I'll do it.
I believe in you too!
Count me in as well, I believe in you mate!
Work at it and you'll get there brother
You got this son
I’m incredibly pleased by the fact that this video came out less than a week ago.
Benjamin Giddens I’m incredibly pleased that this comment came out one week ago
Robbie D I’m incredibly pleased by the fact your reply came out a week ago
I was surprised to see the date
This comment didn’t age well...
@@Odd_Combo this is my favorite reply ever
it starts out as “you’ve got the map backwards matt” to “always focused”
junkyard dog is that a mother fucking Merietta reference?!?
Jonathan Ewing such a good song😂
I'm barely intermediate level and I already covered 'You've got the map backwards' haha
@@j357910 it's Marietta and tiny moving parts
I love this so much. Level 5 makes me feel so happy and sad at the same time. Math rock
Happy and sad at the same time perfectly describes the whole genre
If you want happy and sad at the same time listen to some ska music and then read the lyrics
So all the levels are basically Tiny Moving Parts lmao.
@Dekai Averett And it's fucking amazing
Dekai Averett with a little dollop of 2015 Philly Pop Punk
I mean, there's probably a reason he explicitly mentions Dylan in one of the steps. If anything, it shows what a huge impact TMP have had on the modern emo/math rock scene.
@@smaller_cathedrals Into It, Over It not getting enough love
Hehehe.... You did a thing... I see it...
I used to be a deathcore snob, then I started listening to emo revival mixtapes on RUclips out of curiosity and it's all I listen to now lol
Literally same
emo kid here, tell me about deathcore. I like Suicide Silence and I wanna hear more stuff that's like kinda melodic or catchy but also just really fucking balls to the wall hard. help a brother out, what are some good bands or songs to start with?
@@maxonmendel5757 My first deathcore bands were Thy Art is Murder and Chelsea Grin. If youre an emo fan and also a deathcore fan you will love They Will Know Another by TAIM, which was what got me realy into deathcore. My current favorite bands are Shadow of Intent, Fit For an Autopsy, Brand of Sacrifice and Lorna Shore.
@@maxonmendel5757 this is more deathgrind + mathcore but The Number Twelve Looks Like You's first 2 albums are fantastic
@@maxonmendel5757 if you're into Melodic and Catchy stuff as well as hard Breakdowns you might also want to give Melodic Hardcore or Metalcore a try.
I recommend you Being as an Ocean, Counterparts, Light your Anchor, Alazka and The Amity Aflliction for a Start if you're interested.
Level 11: not playing in an open tuning
Now you're just being unreasonable
Oh, and I thought it was the default??
basically Tera Melos
Or chon
funny when I started tapping I started in standard tuning and eventually moved to open tunings as I progressed and I never really thought it was easier just that it sounded better.
this is big inspiration for me as a beginner, I hope someday soon I can achieve this level of skill !
Good luck!
im somewhat of a beginner and am just now trying to get on lv 3 lmao, there is a tabs version of this if it helps
@@samrijners4704 oh my man where's this tab if I may ask?
@@Maneon if you search the title of this vid + tabs you should be able to find it easily
@@thelastwordisrejoice9440 а зачем изолента? В чём прикол?
In a Midwest emo band didn’t know what music we played till I found this
AKA math rock
Derf Jagged I mean they’re not interchangeable. The guitar work on the two genres are very similar though
@@AnarchyEqualityPeace huh, I guess you're right. I had always heard them used interchangeably
Derf Jagged I respect both of your opinion because we are mostly math/emo but also punk and power pop at times so what ever you want :)
@@DerfJagged Yeah, a lot of people have been calling anything with tapping math rock for long enough now that it's probably not even "wrong" anymore. The main defining feature of math rock is the odd time signatures and other unusual rhythms though, emo without that isn't math rock and a lot of math rock doesn't sound anything like emo (Crazy noise rock-influenced bands like Yowie, Hella and Tera Melos are a good example of the other side of the spectrum) even though the two genres are very closely linked in their development and overlap all the time.
learning that level 5 riff is what makes me look forward to getting home after work now.
i feel like there was a big skill gap between level 4 and 5 xD
yeah I'm a level 4er
maybe it’s just me but i don’t think so ! i think with practice the gap between 4 and 5 isn’t too big of one to bridge :)
arren regrets nothing you’re correct he’s just playing slightly faster basically
more often than not, playing faster is the hardest transition when you're going from beginner to intermediate. don't worry i've been there man
yeah i just started playing like a week ago and i’m just getting level 3 down, i see a long road ahead of me lmao
Maybe I have low standards but level 2 was beautiful 😍
Nah man. Sometimes beauty is in simplicity
It doesnt have to be difficult to be beautiful.
"standards"... i see what you did there
2 is basically an empire empire song
The transition from Level 1 to Level 2 is perfect song intro material. 4 of the simple one, 4 of the complex one, on to verse, so simple but so effective.
Emo Rock: What if Tom Delonge was good at guitar?
To be fair, Tom wrote some really good parts for Blink, and he’s an absolutely amazing guitarist in Angels and Airwaves.
Up
@@Plutonic_Blue yeah those 3 powerchords he uses in that one song were totally revolutionary
@@Plutonic_Blue I agree with you. Also people tend to forget Tom had a terrible drug problem so live performances are shit for.that reason. If you see sessions of him sober he really has a unique perspective at making riffs. His riffs are one of the most memorable in the genre.
Sickest-NoSCOPEZandWEED-420 your ignorance is showing
I'm getting high off the vibe of a fist fight.
Great playing man!
Thanks!
you nailed it
"Your name" theme vibes tho
Level 5 is always my favorite part of these songs
You got me with the Dylan's switch lmao
What do you get by taping the switch?
anvi Dylan tapes his switch in the middle cause he doesn’t wanna accidentally hit it while playing
@@bradenrocha9067 Oh sick! I hadn't thought of that but it actually sounds pretty useful lol.
I always wondered why Dylan doesn't just wire the pickups directly to the Volume and take the switch out of the guitar...
@@joshuafrahm8778 He actually did do that recently, just for his seafoam green guitar. The other two are still taped. They discuss it in his rig rundown video.
finally, youtube recommendations trained well enough to show me something high-quality, highly relevant and unpopular at the same time. subscribed for more midwest emo stuff!
Step 7: Hmm, sounds like the style of Tiny Moving Parts!
Step 8: Mentions Dylan by name.
Rest of the video: Unreleased TMP song.
No, in all seriousness, excellent video! Well done!
Did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Well done!!!
Keep on with the good stuff, Midwest deserves more RUclips content. You could do some teaching videos, different tunning ! Love from Brazil !!
nem imaginava que gente do Brasil gostava de Midwest emo ou math rock
@@denial1004 orra, tem bastante gente mas é aquilo, só na Internet pra achar !
Poisé,sempre vai ter alguns brasileiros aí perdido
Onde vc menos imagina Rsrs
I need someone to sit down with me so I can grasp this, this is the sound I've been looking for, for so long and this dude make it look effortless
there's a few channels.
letstalkaboutmathrock
and
trevor wong
im looking for more tho
Love this style so much.
My good man you have that clean tone down perfectly. Loved this!
This is the sound of life man! Beautiful playing 👍 New subscriber.
I also have an affinity tele. You absolutely killed it, man!
One of the finest guitar vids on RUclips. Thanks.
One of my favorite videos on the platform, would love to see another of these!
Long live Math Rock. Awesome playing dude and keep it up.
This is amazing
This is amazing, I love all the great midwest emo content you put out
I love all of these
This is sick, makes me want to practice more ! :)
i kept being like "i like this level, don't change" and then loving the next level and repeat
3years later and it still hits hard
Well this was just wonderful. Thank you
lvl 9 is my favorite
Oke now I have to go listen to the American Football album again..
This video deserves so many more views. Great stuff!
feels good to know you’ve done it
Наконец-то
This video hit me straight in the feels and i know that's weird. I legit have no friends who listen to this music and that's OK but I really dont get bands suggested to me because of it . I really really enjoy Tiny Moving parts and mom jeans. If anyone can spread their love and knowledge of other bands i would be forever grateful.
Polyphia, chon, and COVET r really good if ur into stuff like this.
try remo drive and modern baseball!! both super similar to mom jeans
@@nyx0s389 Thanks
@@katieberich8064 Thank you
American Football is pretty sick too
you are seriously my favorite youtuber.
This is my favorite guitar video ever. Such an inspiration!
Please oh please make a tutorial of level 5 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is just emo without the distortion and screaming.
There’s still a lot of screaming, just low on the distortion.
Great video and playing man!
thanx
Really enjoyed this
The reason I'm emo is that this isn't on Spotify.
Amazing! I recently tuned my guitar to DAEAC#C, could we possibly get tabs for this!?
I loved this!! Subscribed! :D
I keep unliking your video because I instinctually like it every time I listen to it. So goodB
Lvl 5 was my favourite.
I love it when songs aren't overly complicated.
I think songs where lot of stuff happens can be great. But if there's to much, it kinda pulls me out of the zone.
That's pretty much the reason why I stopped listening to Polyphia.
I disliked level 6, but the rest really was gorgeous.
Great video!
What tuning(s) did you use? DAEAC#E? Awesome job, btw!
Yes
Thanks)
Yea, I think the tuning is the hardest thing to get my head around. I can do 90% of the skills, just dealing with the shapes is doing my head in.
This is amazing!! Well done man
You really going crazy bro this is so good
In standard tuning for the next :'v
maybe
Heresy
I feel like the way modern Midwest Emo riffs work, you just can't really play them in standard tuning. The only Midwest Emo songs I've seen tabbed out in standard tuning sprawl halfway across the neck because there are so many big arpeggio runs.
Lvl 0: the looks of this guitar.
super good bro this made my morning so much better
Man, I've been following your channel on and off for a couple years now and your skill progression is impressive! Loved this video!
thanks, I'm trying;) and thanks for subscribing
can you explain the tape thing on the switch? i don’t get it
It’s to keep the pickup selector in the middle, which is the sweet spot for midwest emo.
@@rhyskaiser107 ohh, I have only played one guitar ever so I thought all of them had a middle position :) thanks for clearing that up
I can practically hear Dylans voice over this
Dylan from what band?
Tiny moving parts
Brilliant Work
i come back to this video every couple of months level 5 is absolutely perfect
How do you manage to make your left hand tapping sound so clean?
I HATE CLOUDS I’m still not great at it, but the harder and quicker I tap the cleaner I sound. your fingers eventually get stronger and with practice your tapping will become more precise.
Also maybe the strings could be a factor?
A compressor pedal helps a lot, I love my MXR Dyna Comp
@@LuckynworkLuckyDog21 I'm particularly fond of my MXR Studio Compressor. Little pricier, but a lot more room for tweaking. MXR definitely makes some good stuff all around, though
@@zackschrum893 it either from action, string and fretboard itself or you require more practice to do it right and clean.
Do you have any Mathrock or midwest emo songs you recommend for beginners? and maybe the tabs?
Jean. Pierre check out his other vids! he tabbed out some of the riffs and if you play it at half speed or so you can get it eventually. I’ve played for less than a year and I can play a few riffs now.
Start with american football - never meant, it's a classic and the main riff is not that difficult
BottledMajesticness yeah! Never Meant’s a good one especially if you’re not used to FACGCE. Then if you want to practice tapping in another tuning Always Focused by TMP is pretty fun to learn and play in DAEAC#E.
@@zackschrum893 these are two great suggestions, the first two i learned were these and they weren't that hard.
For the catchy one, u could search up for japanese math rock like TK(from ling tosite figure), Sokoninaru, and Cho shu nie
This is beautiful dude
I love this channel so much.

I'm standing on the precipice
It's a cliff that I've prayed on before
So much so that despite the fact that
I don't know if I believe in a god or gods anymore
My fingertips they bear callouses
My palms they bear callouses from pressing together so tightly
I pray hard when I pray
I've often thought that this maw in front of us was the end of everything
A darkness that consumed all, a black hole
Do you know that we are made up of the same stuff that makes up the stars?
So, what flows through us may not be just blood it may be stardust
And we are dying every second of every minute of every hour of every day
Brings us closer to that final day that final hour that final minute that final second that final breath
Which means when we run out of hydrogen we become giants, or super giants, or supernovas
And if not that then we are simply stars whose ill-fated courses end in collision either way
Either way we'll explode
With this in mind I reconsider the precipice
There is something beautiful in its blackness isn't there
Something wondrous in its persistence in swallowing us all?
The end, the end of everything is the beginning of a brand new everything
The end of this universe may be the beginning of a brand new one
So that even now when my heart feels like the most congested intersection
The world, the world it is waiting
I reconsider the precipice and so,
In an effort to take part in reckless acts of self definition
I jump and I ask you to join me
As I fall, as I let that beautiful blackness take me into its arms
I know that I will be safe in them
I know that we, you and I, all of us
We will be safe in its embrace
Level 13: Combine all of them, play it in double time over a half time drum beat and change your name to Will Swan
:')
@@near5839 a year later someone else realizes this genius
that was so well done
I love these kind of video and riffs are beautiful
This helped a lot with song writing thank you
