Droning sounds simple right? Welp, yeah, but it can be way complex too! The pedal tone opens up a whole door of amazingly weird progressions and effects, and this lesson should walk you through what those might feel, sound, and look like.

TAKE NOTE- When I say "Western Mainstream", I'm speaking from an American Pop Music perspective. There are more styles of drone music than those from India- I did not mention the Hurdy Gurdy or the Bagpipes, two heavyweights in the world of droning. The bagpipes themselves drone on a single note while the rest of the pipes are tuned to a mixolydian scale relative to the drone. This is the second time I have likely offended the Scots, and twice now I must beg their forgiveness.

I also did not mention the importance of pedal tones as they apply to metal, since I went over that topic in my video on the Metallica Scale    • How To Write Metal Riffs using the ME...   and also in my video on Mixolydian Rock    • How To Make A Classic Rock Hit Single...  .

Wanna jam over the same note for 10 minutes, you weirdo? Well so do I. Here's the track.

The one cultural reference you missed was celtic (example: bagpipes).

Jake, you are an incredible musician and an excellent teacher. I've learned probably 90% of what I know about music from your channel. I wanted to say thank you for all the knowledge you've given and keep on giving us!

Jake, it’s gotten to a point that all I need to see is the title of your video and I know I’m going to love it. Again. I haven’t even watched it yet but I know it’s gonna be awesome. Drones!! Yes!!

Black Sabbath's "Wheels of Confusion" from '72 is mostly based around a drone power chord and Ozzy sings in the mixolydian mode. There are some riffs and fills later in the song but they function as breaks for interest

The dance song sounds unintentionally like Hans Zimmer's An Ideal of Hope.

If anyone's interested that riff he's playing around 19 minutes in is "Fearless" by Pink Floyd. I thought that song was in open G tuning. Have I been wrong all this time?

At 75 my brain cannot absorb as well compared to when I was 25. But over the years I have fumbled and stumbled over the connectivity of exactly what you have laid out here so clearly. This video is a years work for me. Thank for this homework!!
