THANKS BEENSLY ( said like that football guy down the pub)
Thank you Brotha
nice lesson
Dang I really learned a lot from this!
1. How to properly solo
2. How to properly talk to people!
3. How good beans on toast are.
I Still cant talk to people. Guitar solos are mint though.
I learned that I'm not the only one who thinks non-bean eaters are weird.
The thing to do is find your inner musical voice and learn to express it. It won't lead you wrong. Take a chord progression you want to solo over and make up a solo in your mind before you even touch the guitar. You might even hum it or sing it out loud. Then pick up the guitar and pluck out the notes you heard in your mind. It's like anything else: the more you do it, the more proficient you get at it. Ultimately the goal is to be able to express your inner voice on demand in real time.
It's a huge help to know what you're writing in your head, and most ideally you'd want to write down a good idea before touching the guitar...because in my case, as soon as I pick up the guitar it's like my body wants to override all the ideas of "what I want to aquire" that I had before and instead focus on all the muscle memory and habits of "what I already know".
It's really weird...I'm annoyingly way less creative when I'm equipped with my instrument and I know from conversations around the years that I'm not the only one with that problem.
Even if you don't know any musical theory, then I'd recommend either humming/vocalizing your melody/rhythm-ideas into a recording software of any sorts or even better write them down in a midi sheet via a DAW (Reaper in my case).
The latter is where I'm most creative and many times I've written riffs/parts there that felt way beyond what I would come up with in my head, and actually made me improve my instrumental abilities when learning to play it afterwards...and it's very satisfying and pride inducing because those riffs when I'm done feel like they're truly MY style
Humming and singing ia good for simple melodies, but... you know, the guitar is not ur vocal. You have more notes(octaves) on guitar than vocal range, u can't sing in "palm mute" or pinch harmonics. And shredding - you can't sing in 16th notes or sing multiple voicings
@@AlexStress it's clearly the worse method out of the two I mentioned but much easier and not at all as limited as you make it out to be.
1. you have around three vocal octaves and four on guitar, so IF you cover more than 3 octaves you can just pause and change octave on your recording...it's supposed to be a reminder, not a literal transcription of a piece. It's not even necessary to be on pitch all the time, it's only about you remembering it later where you then work and even improve on it.
2. you can absolutely "sing" palm mutes and all the other techniques...I use "da" for open notes and "dum" for palm mutes, "di" for harmonics and something like "diauuu" for bends. And for lower notes I tend to use "b" as a consonant instead of "d" (so "ba" instead of "da") which kinda simulates lower note chunkyness.
And it's not like I "developed" any of that consciously, this is just how I always did it.
3. tempo is literally NO issue AT ALL...if it's too fast for your vocals, lower the tempo. SOLVED!
And you exaggerate the slowness of your vocals anyway...I just vocalized a Children of Bodom solo that I'm currently practicing and I had to slow it down by like 30%, and that's 16th note triplets at 135bpm...which evens out (since triplets are 33% faster).
So I'm confident with vocalizing 16th notes at around 130bpm...that's fast. Not that I ever do it because slowing it down makes it easier and clearer.
4. multiple tracks are impossible yes, but chords are just tricky...mostly if it's a stray chord between single notes I tend to just voice one note of the chord a little more expressive to know later that's where a chord is and remember the exact chord later. If it's just chords I just take a note that I'm doing chords, and just voice them out as arpeggios.
The recording will sound awful and honestly embarrasing no matter how much you get used to doing it...but it works and it's so much easier than literally any other possible method. Just make sure no one ever hears those recordings and delete them after you translated the content
@@AgeofJP yeah, singing melodies is actually good method and i agree, but you shouldn't be limited to it. And most people can't sing! And if they do, they have range like 2 octaves max.
If you can sing in 4 octaves and shred using ur voice - why you are a guitarist, not a professional singer?
Mimicing voice is a solution, but to be really good on guitar let the soul speak for you. Sometimes i just play really good even before my thoughts
@@AlexStress yes you absolutely shouldn't limit yourself to that method...I don't enjoy that process at all, but it helps to get it done quickly and on the spot. Like I often write stuff when I'm lying in bed trying to sleep...at that time if I get a great idea I won't sit up, boot up my pc and open Reaper to write it down. But I will take my phone and didle-dee-doo it into a recording app with no problem and come back to it the next day.
If I know "I want to write music now" I'm plugging in my midi keyboard and go straight into Reaper.
Average range is around 3 octaves and mine has increased by like 3 half-steps at most since I started with vocals...your range doesn't really increase, but rather how comfortably you can use what's naturally given to you. It doesn't need to sound good after all and if you are utterly incapable of producing the pitch in your head with your vocals then I would suggest just starting to learn that by simply trying...like, that's an ability I can't wrap my head around not having as a songwriter. That's like the super-basic basic aspect of vocals that I'd argue anyone can and should learn in a few days at most.
I'm doing both guitar and vocals btw at around equal focus...always thought guitarist-frontman was the coolest position by far.
And also, I'm super glad in hindsight that I started doing both because these are the only instruments you *can not fake* as a metal songwriter/solo artist...drums, synths, orchestrals and even basic choirs can be made with virtual instruments + midi software and depending on the work you put into, they can sound convincingly professional.
Virtual guitars however sound awful and clearly fake, and yeah virtual vocals...I wouldn't even want that to exist.
a huge part of phrasing is being able to switch up and break the rhythms and patterns of the solo cohesively. imo, this is arguably even more important than scales, arpeggios and whatnot
Well done. I think this is one of the clearest explanations of phrasing that I've seen.
This might be the best lesson you've ever posted! Articulating and demonstrating the "nebulous" stuff in music like feel and phrasing really separates the good teachers from the great ones. You are a GREAT teacher! 👍🤘
This is the lesson I never realised I needed so very badly, it's answered so many questions in a way that is really clear for a smooth brained individual like myself.
This is a great lesson.
A duet can even be helpful in writing solos and break stuff up..
Without another player, you can just role-play.
The riff you play between segments had me waiting for Rain by Trivium to kick in.
I’ve seen lots of videos on phrasing and call and response but the way you break it down is perfect. Good work
This is almost literally a full guide of feeling and improvisation.You are awesome man.
PD: The listen part of this video is true, because In only 6 months I figured out patterns of sound that my favourite guitarrists do, and I started replicated them over time from just listening to their music! (Also excuse my english, Im not a native English speaker)
your english is great
@@SentiMental5414 Ty
I just discovered your channels and I must say. You’re my favorite!! Idk what I’d do without your goofy videos and amazing lessons. Thanks you lil rascal 😮
Your videos are always very helpful. Thank you Beanly!
I think what really separates a great guitarist from an average guitarist is how much money they spend on guitars and amps.
Sage wordz
It’s all about your level of monetary commitment. How else could one tell?
The amount of chest hair is also another thing that separates them
Such wise
Good gear doesn’t make you a good player though?
I'm going to have to check out more videos in this channel. This was so clearly explained and really fun.
Was literally watching Melodic Control yesterday. A few things clicked for me just within the first 10 mins, then went on a deep dive about pivot chords and scale similarities. Phrasing's already noticeably better, can't wait to watch this and see what else I can pick up: your lessons are always fantastic, right up there with Uncle Ben!
Watching this video was like opening another door to my musical/creative thought process, great content
Great video and great approach. Thanks for sharing.
Hands down the best video in soloing I have ever seen!
Bradley is taking my playing to another level.I would love for you to make more of these and maybe a video dedicated to alexi laiho.I choose never gonna give you up btw
Great video! I'm not even done yet! That "Good rhythmic sense" solo was crazy, amazing stuff right there!
I love your presentation on call and response phrasing as a question and answer. This is a really helpful way of approaching it for me. Thank you!
Cheers, I particularly enjoyed the call and response part.
One of my favorite tactics for fresh rhythms is by using extensive syncopation and teasing the downbeat. Great video btw, love your channel
Thank you for this amazing lesson!
Great advice! I'm going to try the "Ashes in Your Mouth" chorus for a melody 👍
Mind blowing. It’s my fist time hearing about this. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I guarantee that i'm going to be wayyyy better now that you have shared your knowledge regarding phrasing and Call & Response. Great Job!
I remember a couple of my first solos I ever structured and liked at least a little, all I was doing was being orderly with timing and phrasing. I love the call and response analogy! I think I first heard it from Guthrie. Cheers and thx for all ya do brother!
Best guitar lesson ive come across
This video is phenomenal! Thank you sir hallsworth!
The only guitar teacher with a pointy guitar whose lessons I find that I can still apply to my own non-metal style of guitar playing. A+
The call and response bit was really fun to play along to!
This is a really great video honestly, super funny but also like … surprisingly an effective practice.
Great lesson!!
Bradley Hall! Definitely love ur vids, i've been following you for quite a while now AND really you always give me a Aha-moment of freedom AND understanding when It comes to guitar playing.
Thnxs a lot for these great lessons and keep on Rocking Bro!

What a great and easy to anderstand course thank you !
thank you for this one of a kind lesson or info you've shared
You're gonna snatch up some students with this one man. Good job!
Excellent lesson
Amazing lesson 👏
Just subbed. Killer presentation
Incredible source of information!!🔥🔥
Some geniuses are goofy as fuck, but they’re still geniuses. Love this guy!
You're a genius my friend, don't let anyone tell you differently, Great video.
Great lesson buddy
Wow that's a really a cool way to think about it
Great Beanley. More More!!!!!
This is blowing my mind
Well taught, Sir ❤❤❤❤
This is seriously brilliant content.
Great video
awesome Thanks alot!!!!!!
That green joint is dope if i had a guitar that’s exactly the one I want
Bradley you da best
Ha ha, Aquas 'Barbie girl' as phrasing rythm. That was a good suprise, and proves, as you said, listen to and be inspired from all kind of genres. It also got me thinking of all kind of conversations you can have on the guitar.
0:57 this made me laugh
great video
This might be the missing link for me. Thanks for sharing stuff like this for free.
where are the monocle, the top hat and the moustache :(
For some reason, after I read the words monocle and top hat, the word "moustache" mentally pronounced itself as Moose-Stache. Funny stuff...some CIA psy-ops things going on here haha.
Awesome tips, this is what it is about.
His solo with bad rhythmic sense sounds better than me attempting to paly with "good" rhythmic sense
Sick solar 🤘
Very few guitarists phrases blow my mind but the ones that do, follow the methods applied here, Marty included of course.
That's a guy I would really love to have as a teacher
Join his patron. He gives lessons
It would be very very cool if you do some videos, when you play then we play etc. It helps to work a musical ear playing to match your part and the chords progression :)
Dr. Beanley, I'd like to request time stamps! (They'll help with the algorithm, as well as me find the clips!) Thanks for all the killer (and hilarious) videos! 🤘😆🤘
this explanation is fking gold
Sick Deathspell Omega shirt bro
Awesome advice
Where is the book?
Killer lessons.
Genius way to put it haha
🎸🎶😎 Your the best! Plus Maaaaan you remind of my best friend who I grew up with playing guitar Together !
😍😎 SUBSCRIBED - ok now to binge watch ALL of your content !
Hey Bradley! What is a good fast playing ibanez (preferably, but it can be anything) under $1200, because I want to start playing megadeth and other "neoclassical" and shreddy music? also great lesson
How the hell Steve Harris came up with all these melodies???
Your a funny man. Nice information. It makes perfect sense.
Dude your killer great sound wat are you using for an amp?
What a great lesson! Now I know why I like beans on toast!! 😂🎸🔥
I must admit question and answer techniques are great.
I'm not a fast player I generally pick up speed when I get used to a piece of music.
I can play slow hand up to around 128 BPM and seem to.get stuck.
I was wondering on how fast your BPM is I bet it's around 280.
I'm still learning everyday and coming across new ideas at present messing around with dominant phygian and going Islam crazy lol
Any chance of a video on improvement of speed
I enjoy your pick video of tilting 👍🤟
🔥🔥🔥Just XLn't as usual ! To the point Boom !💥
I thought it was Freidman giving out guitar lesson lmao
Great Lesson, but the fast solo call and response was difficult to comprehend. Nonetheless, this was the best video on phrasing
Super useful and interesting, thanks!
when you said about root / fifth of key method, what about chords that in the background? like do we resolve to root even if its diffrent chord in the background?
Damn, nice Deathspell omega shirt.
What a load of BS, everyone knows it's all about the toanwood.
😂 good vid.
No, it's the colour😄
Can you do a tone masterclass?
Love you instruction, really great stuff. The frets you are indicating and playing unfortunately are kind of hard to figure out because your sweet Solar guitar doesn't have fret markers. Otherwise, love the lesson.
wow wow wow
Can you talk about Michael Amott’s phrasing? I really like it but don’t know how he does it. Thanks
8:48 thats freakin sic
youre king
Can you make a this is How you play the psychosocial solo by Slipknot
1:35 very relatable stuff
This guy is cool I’m guna try at a time I can be loud 😂
Super cool! I got the explanation. I want to subscribe to your Patreon, but the page does not load. Does it work?
You're giving away the secrets dude! 🤐
