Since finally understanding Modes I write my choruses using a Mode. It's in the same key but changes the song up. Sometimes I use the same chords as the beginning but change the order up. Something I also do is take a song and find what key it's in. Next I figure out the progression for all the parts then use it as the base for a song.

5 months ago I posted a negative review of this video citing it's too longwinded and a chore to sit through. The uploaded responded telling me everyone else who watched this video was thankful for this upload. I see the comments and that's true, many saying it was helpful. How many people since then have actually composed guitar music in song format since then? I don't see anyone posting, _"Hey, this is what I composed after watching this video, come check it out at my page"_ Maybe I'm wrong. If anyone did compose any original guitar music in song format, please let me know. I'll be glad to check out your work. I love checking out originals from unknown artists. If you have vocals, drums, bass, etc added, that's a plus. But I also love listening to original dry guitar tracks. Cheers

Creating music isn’t enough…you also must learn how to market your music to the right audience.

But, being a musician that has played just about every other genre and non-genre in the field, I can attest that this is such a great common sense, enlightening video that gives direction and structure to any musical artist. It really just condenses everything for you and lets you unravel the parts in a context that matches where you are at in the writing process. This really works for a lot of different kinds of music. Great video for getting creative vibes flowing in a direction that produces artistic output!

F# would be a diminished chord. Just saying!!! There are not 4 minor chords in a given scale. If you are going to teach make sure you get it right! Any minor scale is associated with a set of seven chords - three major, three minor, one diminished. And the diminished chord is very helpful for the genre of metal, with its minor 3rd and flattened 5th (Diminished) Nice riff though :)

I think you should absolutely look up music theory. You will never encounter anyone that regrets learning it and it will help you understand why everything works after the basic(scales, intervals, types of chords) an especially important subject is modes if you really look into it, not just "starting on another note of a major scale", that's just the tip of the iceberg. I think they're the most important as they tell you a lot about what sort of stuff produces what kind of emotion. After that there is a ton of stuff but I'm sure you'll be able to tell what you want to learn.

I appreciate you brother! Also I have a question, not related to this but might be a topic for a future video. Just bought a Jackson SLA6 barirone that suits better for downtuning. It came with emg active pickups, and Im not sure how am I supposed to feel about a battery powered stuff. Any thoughts?

Thank you. Jason here and I’m kinda with you on active pickups but those batteries last a while. Actives just give you more output. You can get a similar effect with passives by turning up the amp gain. I play my Ibanez with passive pickups more then anything through.

I'm being picky, but the F# chord in Em is diminished. F#5 has F and C#, whilst F# Major has F#, A# and C#. Make it F#5 over D, and you'll be within key and have a cool metal chord in your song.

Ok, that's the Basics: The Tricky part is when the flow of your music changes the root note so you end in another scale and if you want to go back to your main riff it can be really difficult. In Metal usually also not so often the riffs are straight in Key. To get it more interesting you use a lot of chromatic, or add tones chords that are not in the Scale which becomes challenging playing a solo over that chord progression.

The beauty of all this is there are no rules…it’s an open forum to create something new and different, and more importantly, create something that speaks to you. If your passion for your own music is strong, that will spread to others.

Guitar world did and interview with Mark Morton of Lamb of God years ago. In it he talks about his “riff farming” process. Great key points from that in addition to the points in this video would have you pumping out songs

Great clip man...like i read in the other comments i am not the only guy who plays since 20 years completely self taught. I come from a time with no YT and no internet so self taught was realy self taught. To be honest i was sceptic when reading the name "metal mastermind" i thought "oh yeah...another guy who shows off his godlike skills and telling me how easy this is"...but hell yes... You sir are on another level. Having the skills and the ability to tell them others in a simple and usable way. Thumbs up from Germany 🌍🤘Metal World Wide🤘🌍 thank you 😁

Cant underestimate the immense utility of recording yourself. Because when you are playing, you just simply do not hear the riff as objectively as u can. Because you are in the moment focusing on your playing. Recoding yourself let's you step outside you own head so to speak and hear the riff / song / beat with your entire attention span. Some riffs are so fun to play that we get too biased by how it feels to play vs how it actually sounds, recording ourselves helps remove this bias.

Judging from outside, creating music like this seems... Uninspired. Not cricizing video, because these are legit advices, just, I think that music isn't notes and I still haven't found a good way to create songs from riffs, but I'll keep looking for one that suits my feel with music.

Very very cool. I couldn't click fast enough when I saw the title. I'm a decent guitar player, but suck at figuring out how to make them into songs. Or, not that great and this is a great system. Love it. I'm more of a blues and 80s metal guy, but love almost all music. Digging that LTD ESP too man. I've been thinking of getting one of their new single cut EC series I think it is with stainless frets, etc. I want to try this, and I'm going to use some chord inversions, etc. I'm big on riffs though. The Christian band Stryker is great at riff songs to me. Great stuff man and I subscribed and look forward to hearing more of your videos. Thanks man for this video. I learned a lot ❤

We don't call ourselves Metal Mastermind. That's the name of our brand and it applies to everyone who's a part of it. It's a bit deeper than you assumed
