Writing and composing riffs with Phrygian is ripe ground for growing dark, doomy, and chaotic metal riffs. This video explores some compositional options, including modulations, odd time signatures, overlapping meters, and poor attempts at choral arrangement.
The basis of this song is a rhythm constructed from morse code. A note to the attentive- I did not completely honor or respect the resting pattern, instead, I used the rhythmic pulses to direct the rhythm of my riff. If you were to try to reverse engineer my rhythm just by listening to it, it would be quite difficult considering the rests are smudged a bit.

Makes one of the sickest tracks ever, then immediately after it just says “that was fun”. What a legend.

that latin phrase is actually quite correct, you could more or less translate it as "I love you, you love me, we are happily at home" :D

Dude are you kidding me I want that on my playlist this is amazing. I can't believe you just made it as an example for a tutorial. It honestly feels like we don't deserve such quality free content. Thank you so much

Awesome level 11. Nice. A song I wrote in '92 started off with "I love you and you love me...". Then Barney borrowed it to terrorize children.

You have single-handedly: 1. Become my favorite theory channel on YouTube, 🤓 2. Given me a real appreciation for metal as a genre, 🎸 and 3. Convinced me that you must have been a voice actor in another life! 🎙 #wereahappilyfamily

I learned about functional harmony and songwriting from “chords in a minor key” a few years back. Broke open the how of music for me. This right here did the same for metal.

“Expand our horizons when playing with time.” As a drummer, seeing guitarists experimenting with time makes me very happy. Thank you! ("grab your pentagram pendant"😂)

By the way, Jake, I wanted to thank you for making these videos. I don't play guitar, I play the piano (okay, a midi keyboard) but you would not believe how your videos broadened my understanding of music and composing as a whole. I now consider options and possibilities I would not have even thought possible a few months back. I bought your poster, too, obviously, and it helps me as a little reminder. It also looks great on my wall.

Heh... I also watch Early Music Sources, having an interest in early music. Frankly, there's some wild stuff there, when you bring it to modern times. Like the chromaticisms of Carlo Gesualdo (and other chromatic Italian madrigalists), and the fluid sense of meter caused by making the music subordinate to the words.
