This is the sixth video in a series on how to write riffs using the modes of major. Being the sixth in the episode, this lesson focuses on the Aeolian mode, which is identical to the natural minor scale. There is an argument to be made that there is a difference between Aeolian tonality and Minor tonality, which I touch on at the end.
The first style is a dancey funk song in the style of Daft Punk or Chromeo. In addition to basic music theory and songwriting advice, quite a bit of detail is mentioned on the audio production itself. Next, the riff is transformed into a Tool style crushing riff. Then lastly, a classic acoustic rock style intro that sounds all too recognizable.
Some videos you should have seen to be able to follow this one-
Minor Scale and Chords: • How to write Chords and Songs in Mino...
Seventh Chords: • How To Write Progressions using min7,...
3+3+3+3+4: • The Unnamed Rhythm that Unites Modern...
A few details I forgot to mention or want to clarify-
ANY interval can funk in proper context. It’s purely subjective please don’t pretend I’m citing fact when I say the flat seventh is the funkiest.
-The minor chords played in the background were inevitably going to become minor sevenths since I was writing funk. I don’t know how or why I neglected to mention this!
-If Aeolian had a signature sound, it would be the minor fifth chord (v). I’m slightly disappointed I didn’t feature it, since it is a unique sound of Aeolian. It’s very sad, and still usable. I may just make a video on the v chord so it doesn’t get ignored, but it really should have made an appearance here.
-I have met educated teachers who consider the fifth chord of a minor key to be major, even though it contains the leading tone which is out of the key signature. A lot of confusion about aeolian vs minor occurs because traditionally, the minor key is NOT thought of as a strict diatonic collection of only seven notes. Though clearly, if one were to build triads from the natural minor scale and not include the natural seventh, the fifth chord would be minor.
There is only one more Riffing with Modes lesson left – Locrian. It’s going to be weird.

Everyone: "Yeah, man, Tool put so much thought and work into every single song, OF COURSE it takes them ten years to write an album!"
Jake: "Hey, look, I've got some leftover funk here, just gonna write a Tool song real quick!"

This is a complete tutorial on songwriting, composition, production, mastering and everything in between that goes on behind making a great song. Absolute gold!

This is like watching Bob Ross paint: exceptionally entertaining and seemingly very easy, but actually very sophisticated and pretty challenging when you try this yourself. Overall an outstanding video, big respect!

Oh man. I died at "EVERY ROCK SONG" section.

Seriously I was left wanting a full length Tool-esque album. You rock, Jake!

How to sound like tool:
Drop D
Aolian (also borrow phrygians flat 2 occasionally )
5/8 7/8 9/8 and polyrhythms
Use dynamics (really soft parts and heavy riffs)
Lyrics about reality and about how people suck
Sing like a god!

I never thought I would see Daft Punk and Tool in the same sentence.

You know he's an awesome teacher when you watch him for entertaining and end up learning tons of new info

This guy is a hell of a songwriter. That tool riff is a masterpiece already.

I'm a guitar teacher, you are my guitar teacher. Style, content, and delivery. I love your laid back inquisitive style, your content is meaty and boundary pushing, and I can hear you clearly and read the diagrams at the same time. A+++

Would you be willing to tackle a "how to sound like King Crimson" someday? ;)

I came here for the theory, now I have a comprehensive composition and arrangement guide.
This channel is just gold...
Edit: we have the same bass and I'm kind of triggered cause you tuned to drop D on a 5 string.

I envy anybody with this guy's level of talent when it comes to producing/song writing. He made it seem so easy and effortless and used some cheesy ass lyrics 3 times and made actual hits every time

A good lead player doesn't look at what key you're in, they look at what they can possibly get away with.
That's a nugget of gold right there

"I ain't no singer, but I do have pitch correction software!" I feel that.

11:38 It's not stolen because you can't own a motif. "Themes and motifs of songs are not protected because they are too vague to protect."

"I aint no singer but I do have pitch correction software" sounds like something you'd read on a tshirt
