i started guitar cuz of u bro... thanks... you da best ...

[@MisterPoppy-sc1sj]

No. Heavy metal is just classical with electricity. It's different.

[@alltoads7330]

I grew up playing classical and fell in love with metal in my teens. Love this connection

[@NAlvazaz]

Me too! Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the first metal guitarists whose music I fell in love with. Neo Classical rules!

[@dormammusubjective5774]

Beethoven was pretty heavy. Though I hear Bach a lot more in metal today. Children of Bodom is probably my favorite band inspired by his sound. After learning a few Bach pieces, even my own stuff was starting to sound like it (albeit obviously nowhere near as good).

[@Mart_7512]

Neoclassical metal guitarist David T. Chastain uses chromatic, and he's *AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!*

[@fuzzfrancis435]

Master Shred Who is your favorite composer?

[@shanealanhaag]

I'm guessing he would say J.S.Bach

[@KitWriter]

@@shanealanhaag Beethoven used a lot more minor and darker stuff. Paganini and Liszt used tri-tones and a lot of technicality in their playing.

[@Theslavedrivers]

I've always thought of Beethoven's Symphonies as the first heavy metal albums ,,,

[@visionaryventures12]

Question: How do you write sheet music that indicates the instruments you want played? I want to compose real rock and roll songs, not just piano arrangements.

[@FeonaLeeJones]

Amen brother!! (my metal half-brother). Metal always seemed so bluesy to me when I played them on the piano.

[@JayElSee]

Brother man, I don't know what an etude is, but that neoclassical one you wrote was badass. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@pedroteran5885]

It's French for 'study'. It's a short piece not meant as 'real music' but to touch on some specific points you're studying, in order to better understand or practice them.

[@JayElSee]

@@pedroteran5885 Thank you sir.

[@williamhu9567]

​@@JayElSee studies can also be 'real music' sometimes when they aren't meant to be played just as exercises. they can also be concert pieces that are also meant to train a certain aspect of technique! in the vast sea of studies out there for every classical instrument, however, the vast majority are mostly technical.

[@JayElSee]

​@@williamhu9567Thanks man.

[@nahmakmarine06]

God bless the metal

[@joshuataft5541]

Great vid as usual

[@MrHouseparty6]

Franz Schubert all day long.

[@KitWriter]

Now, someone transpose “Dance of the Goblins” to guitar and add a metal drum track.
Liszt, Paganini, Beethoven, and so many others had a way of scaring people into thinking their talent was Satanically inspired, all the while women were literally throwing more than embroidered fabric square on stage - they were fighting each other to sleep with these guys right in the orchestra pit, sometimes. Chamber musicians had to start sitting off to the side because of these chicks. 🤣

[@v0id616]

Awesome!

[@MrHouseparty6]

1:20 ...(Drinks WAP/BRAWDO-colta)

[@OceansideSpiderHouse]

I'm still waiting for a day that a metal band takes inspiration from Tchaikovsky and has somebody play a fucking cannon.

[@Spida_Chapplliinn]

I feel like its stronger in its own way

[@joshludge]

Your laugh is fake but its funny hahaha

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

Metal is the blues taken to the extreme. We don't need to pretend it's "smart classical music", having an american blues heritage is prestigious enough
No disrespect to classical music btw. I just feel like metalheads are desperately clinging to the myth that classical music = smart, and therefore to prove their genres' worth they need to compare it to the 'smart' music... and 90% of metalheads who say this don't care about classical music other than its prestige and perceived aesthetic to the modern music listener. And that's an injustice to both genres honestly

[@ancientgalaxy7697]

Metal is nowhere near blues, atleast the kind that i listen to. Technical and prog death metal have an insane amount of similarity to classical music in terms of harmony and chord progressions

[@MetalDeathHead]

bs, blues doesnt sound metal AT ALL

[@MetalDeathHead]

@@ancientgalaxy7697 exactly

[@elefsidi]

Actually, both Metal & Hard Rock genres come from Blues, Acid & Psychedelic Rock genres. Neoclassical is a mix of Metal combined with aspects of classical music.

[@MetalDeathHead]

@@elefsidi nah blues isnt metal at all, classical is though
