Composing With Music Theory | Intervals (Patreon)

Today we're embarking on a new series called, "COMPOSING WITH MUSIC THEORY." The primary objective of this course are to translate our emotions using theory and also to systematize the composition process. The first installment will cover intervals, then move on to scales and chords muhahaha (full tabs and guitar pro file below)

1. What Is An Interval?

A musical interval is the distance between two notes. 3 or more notes is a chord. Don't worry, I'll go through each of the 12 chromatic intervals using a drone to reveal their emotional personality. We'll also talk about the intervals in the C Major Scale

2. Interval Exercise

In this segment we'll use the Andalusian Cadence to practice intervals. This is a chord progression used in everything from pop to metal and classical (F#m-E-D-C#). I'm starting with power chord shapes to provide context for other common intervals

3. Composing With Intervals

In this segment we'll write music using intervals. Using my 3 step process to make a riff with pedal tones, melody and rhythm. This is an original song called, SEA OF SHADOWS and is about facing your deepest fears. I was inspired by the story of Moby Dick when writing this melody muhaha
