A single video like this is seriously more valuable than many of the music classes in undergrad.
Classically trained here. Never heard these scales in theory classes. Played some of them in context of the piano pieces I learned, but these scales speak to me in altogether new ways.
This is actually one of the most common interval sets in middle Eastern maqam. It's called Hijazkar/Hicazkar. You can find lots of great instrumental compositions, improvisations (taksim), and songs in this maqam in Turkish and Arabic traditions.
Nice work. The derived modes sound amazing in your compositions.
In Hindustani music this would be Raag Bhairav.
My father, who was a professional bouzouki player who learned his craft in the port bars of Greece from the old time rembetiko masters, taught me this scale 50 years ago when I was a kid. I wish I had learned more from him when I had the chance.
I wonder if that’s what Dimash uses with his melismas in Story Of One Sky and Stranger (among others). They always sound very oriental to me.
No idea about music theory. But maybe someone knows…😅
Can you tell us the name of the turkish or arabic musician found this you call maqam ?? go learn and then speak, information is one thing and knowledge is another !
Also Byzantine Music. Echos Plagios B.
I've really missed these types of videos. Loving this!
I've missed them as well.
@@kierenmoore3236So are recorded tracks and artist interviews. The interesting part is what is being done with them.
Same here
I miss these, Rick. Brings me back to the beginning of my time watching.
Exactly what I was thinking. Although I love what the channel has grown into, I do miss all the theory content.
was thinking the same thing.
Dick Dale's cover of "Misirlou" (Surfer's Choice, 1975) is probably the most recognized song of the Double Harmonic Major. Misirlou is an old-time Greek Rebetiko style song popularized in the early 20th century, it origins are debated about in the reaches of the Eastern Mediterranean. It is actually a slow and sultry lover's lament. Modern day Greek Vocalist "Glykeria" performs a wonderful example of "Misirlou", You Tube videos with the Greek lyrics and English transliteration are worth your time if you would care to listen..
If anyone is wondering what "Misirlou" is about, its about a forbidden romance between a Greek man (singing) and an Egyptian woman ("Misirlou" means "Egyptian girl") who the song is about.
@@swissarmyknight4306 Yeah, he was "Love Struck, Baby!" Poor fella...
Thatks for the heads up. I love that song and it's relly cool having a historic rabit hole to dive down now.
Appreciate ya, hommie.
I think that song is fascinating in that it created an entirely new sound by playing a known tune in a totally different style.
Just listened to Glykeria performing a slow and mesmerizing version of the song.
Much better than the upbeat surf version if you ask me.
Perfect for a slow heavy grinding unsettling metal version with lots of eastern mediterranian/middle eastern flavour.
Fantastic lesson. For those interested in the mystical aspect of music it could be added that the double harmonic is a palindromic scale with same pattern of intervals ascending and descending. Rick had covered this in another wonderful lesson.
And this is why Rick's one of the best music channel ever....
two of the best music channels. This is the 2nd channel 😋
I wish you went over the chords each scale could make. The flat 2 mode having access to both the major and minor third is trippy to me and I would love for you to revisit the topic and point out other details like that
Technically speaking the b4 of Ultraphrygian is only a major third in 12-tone equal temperament; in all other tunings that support diatonic scales it would be indeed a distinct diminished fourth that cannot be used as a 5/4.
Instead, one should probably treat it like a 9/7 or 13/10 or even some higher-limit interval (34/27, 24/19). I would find that to be even more interesting!
Ricky, baby… please keep teaching. Music needs you, we need you!
@BonySopraneaux His name is ^*Rick, not Ricky. Sit down.🤡🤡🤷♂️🤦♂️💩🙄
Why am I hearing Keith Emerson all over this? This is unbelievably beautiful. Otherworldly. Never heard of Nahre Sol before, but I will be doing a deep dive into her music after hearing this.
She’s got a great channel herself. Excellent pianist.
I thought the same, re: Keith Emerson. At other moments, it sounded like Schoenberg.
@@vze2gsgr I don’t hear Emerson myself. Have any examples of Keith’s work that exemplifies the similarity to this composition?
In Hindustani music this structure is called Raag Bhairav.
Really like the G Ultraphrygian starting at 5:00, love those runs. The interchange of the dynamics, playing off each other, that was cool.
A piece co-written by Beato and Nahre Sol! Wonderful!
Never thought I’d see the Locrian double flat 3 double flat 7….anywhere. One of my favorite ultra-obscure scales.
You should really consider doing soundtrack music for film! If I can win three Emmys, you can certainly win three Oscars!
Listening to the composition, that's exactly what I was thinking. It sounds like a score for a movie.
Me 3
Dude's recording Smithsonian worth interviews with legendary musicians, I think he'll be fine without an "Emmy".
Well, in spite of the silliness taking place in LaLa Land, I'm betting that Mr. Beato would still appreciate a Grammy or three. The fellow indicated that since he was capable of winning Emmys that RB is worthy of Grammys. It's a fair compliment.
I've been assuming he already does film score work.
Really good stuff here! Missed this kind of "early-Rick" videos but is nice to have a new one. Beautiful composition with Nahre Sol.
It's all fun and games with the flats until you're on your tricycle with triple flats and no spare phyrygian inner tubes.
Lmao 🤦♂️
Every Phrygian time
That’s sooooo bad! 👍
😂😂
Lol 😂
This is a beautiful piece that acts as an inspiration and a great resource with the transparency of the accompanying information. Next level stuff. You are at the cutting edge Rick Beato! What a legend.
Could you please post the composition alone in a video? It's beautiful!
I love using the double harmonic major starting on D. Makes this really easy-to-visualise pattern on the keyboard.
Videos with this type of information are among my favorite of what you do
I love Rick's interviews but this is the stuff I started following him for.
Bravo, beautifully rendered and exquisitely played! These kinds of fully fleshed examples are wonderful because they're much more illustrative of the 'world' of a particular scale than, say, simply noodling over a tonic drone. The melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic variety gives a great sense of the breadth of possibilities. Cheers!
Glad to see or hear a collaboration between two of my favorite music channels on YT since many years.
Dear Mr. Rick Beato, this is one of my favourite lessons you've ever did. Thank you for discovering me this amazing new sonic palet and congratulations to Nahre Sol and to you for this great modal compositions you've done based on this scale combined with the beauty of the images.
Glad to see these videos and your compositions again!
Great video! Thank you for covering these! They seldom get taught, but SHOULD be. These are beautful!
This video and the Satriani /Vai interview are my absolute favorites that you've done. Love this video! And love the composition...WOW 🤯
Love this video!! Love how you mentioned to modulate keys so you here the modes for the intervals they don't share. I was just trying to explain that to my brother in law as a student of guitar when teaching him the standard modes.
THIS is the rick beato I’ve missed!
Very nice! I loved that piece at the end!
Not just informative, but absolutely beautiful music. Thank you!
Such a magnificent composition & demonstration of applying the scale, wow 🙏✨ I'm inspired to explore!
Loved this Rick, great sounding scale, and great composition, very emotive!
Much needed refresher, thanks Rick
That's fantastic harmonies out there. Such a great compositions! Thank you for explanations Rick. Really appreciated!
This was very enjoyable to watch and listen!
Very informative!
Kudos Rick...!!!👍
Amazing vid, great piece. Thank you Rick and Nahre!
My ears really appreciate these tonal areas - thank you Rick!!!
In college we called the first scale with the two augmented 2nd intervals a "gypsy minor".
That's what the Django Reinhardt-style guitarist John Jorgenson called it, too.
Brilliant my man. I was searching the Internet for references to this scale a few weeks ago and I struggled to find anything...
Such a beautiful scale with so much potential and mystery.
I've been trying to incorporate it into Jams with my band using Indian instruments and percussion
These sounds have haunted me for years, viz Ralph Towner "Oregon Crossing" not to mention countless film sound tracks. I could obviously play them but now I know whats going on !! Thank you very much - months of enjoyment ahead.
That was AWESOME! I love the tonalities of the different modes and can't wait to write with them.
A really useful and inspiring video Rick! Thank you.
Totally wonderful: composition, playing, and video!
Loved the arrangements and changes in tempo to highlight the scales and its many modes.
Thanks for the video Rick, the Double harmonic major scale is identical to an Indian raga called Bhairav if I am not mistaken. Love it!
I remember this too, as Bhirava I believe. 🎶🌟👍
Awesome Rick - thank you- I will use this!
One of my favourite scales! So rich in dissonances❤
Love this kind of videos!
This piece was great. And doing it to demo all these semi-uncommon modes is a fantastic concept.
I love these kinds of videos. Thank you Rick for sharing your knowledge.
I have always loved the Hungarian minor. I have never thought of it as a mode of another scale so this was a treat! Such beautiful sounds. Mystery is deff the right description. Keep em' coming Rick. Love the channel!
Rick did a great video on this about six years ago. Good to have another!
Very nice composition you pulled of as usual Rick!
Incredible composition, stunning performance, and gorgeous video! Nahre Sol is an amazing virtuoso. The many faces of these modes are well illustrated too. This should be on your main channel also, real art. Thank you.
Wow. This is inspiring. So many colours to play with here. Congratulations to Rick and Nahre for putting together such a beautiful illustration.
Too bad Rick couldn’t give her channel a shout out. 🤪
I love this stuff -thanks, and keep it coming!
I appreciate especially these videos Rick. Great material
I ❤this channel. Thank you Mr. Beato for sharing your musical knowledge and wisdom .
Great video pacing. Short, succinct, without too much background information.
This was excellent. Please more like this. I know it was fun as hell to compose that too
This was very inspiring. Thank you.
Gorgeous sound!
I remember an older RB video on the DHM scale and it blew the doors open to my creativity. Wrote a song based on it. Hungarian minor is basically on my "must use" list when writing solos. From then, I've basically started to look into all the other parent scales (and their modes) and, man, what an complete shift in how I approach song writing. I will always be grateful to Rick for this.
Great class, thank you! That's a lot of material to study and experiment.
Thank you for sharing, always appreciate your teaching videos 🙏🏼
Be really cool to see a score for the composition. Awesome video, Rick.
Truly spectacular music. Thank you, Rick.
I am about to learn something new despite playing guitar for 30+ years! 🎸😃👍
Thanks for getting back to teaching!
Wonderful ! Thank you so much !
Nice video. A great well of moods and sentiments, possible to use in arrangements and compositions. Thanks!
Thank you,
So Nahre was involved too, didn't realize it before getting to the second half
Thank you, RIck and Nahre!
Sounds good. Good work!
This is so insanely cool! Thank you!
Very nicely played by Nahre Sol.
Love the unsolved mysteries thumbnail!! Great lesson as always, Rick
I love that you had @NahreSol as a collaborator on this! Super cool 👍😁
I'm so glad I found this video. I love unique and odd scales, and as a guitar player I want to incorporate more of the unusual to try and come up with new stuff.... buuuuut knowing of these odd things is the problem. Thank you for doing these types of videos!!! I'm not sure how I would've found out about these and learned they were all connected to the one scale/mode.
The variety that you can get out of these scales are amazing.
Stunningly beautiful!! WHO is playing piano on these? What a beast of a player! ...... ALSO!! As a Nashvillian, I love the "Nashville cameo"! Downtown at Broadway and 4th Street. I lived on 5th Ave for 7 years, on 5th Ave down from the Ryman Auditorium. Thank you, Rick!
I always really enjoyed what I believe is called the Byzantine scale- I really like how it's kind of a mirror image of itself going up to the octave and how a lot of the shapes look because of that symmetry. I use it all the time- my favorite "exotic" scale
Great stuff, man. Great stuff.
Beautiful piece of work, I going to have a blast transcribing this with the gd ole 7string. I let u in once I git it where I’m happy with it myself, so u never see it ever! lol. Thanks brother. This is better thought teaching then anything I seen before.
5:01 This absolutely should be implemented in some Dream Theater song
Geeez, Rick..... that music is beautiful!!! Are notes words an ankle "I'll be bawk...." widda gittaw!
Man, oh Man, this is fantastic. Thank you.
Sounds very middle eastern. I like it. Some parts of the epic sax solo from Breaking Glass (Hazel O'Conner single from 1980) has a similar feel. The best sax solo ever IMHO.
the examples are crazy good
Thank you for revealing the secrets of the universe one mode at a time. Forever in your debt❤. Beautiful composition man.
Loved this!
Nice dude! That was very cool.
I feel bad for skipping my solfeggio classes back in my formative years, I remember this vaguely but now perhaps is the time to learn it.
Nah, you don't need classes for this.
I'd suggest to take it step by step; write something in minor, then harmonic minor, then phrygian dominant, then double harmonic and then the other modes. Made much more sense to me this way.
I haven't clicked on a Rick Video in a very long time, but I saw the title and was happy to see some theory application and exploring sounds.
I thought this was awsome Rick... I don't think I can explain how intricate the notes, and especially the piano playing was... Well done.
Well done and very interesting
This is SO cool; I like the fact that you've transposed up a half tone for each, so you get the flavour of each independently; I mean, you've got to do this even with the common natural modes, really, as people DO get stuck on the difference, say, between c Ionian and b Locrian. I am interested in the 'Idiomatic Sonic Territories' afforded by the modes on particular notes with certain instruments; given standard tuning, does The Lydian Upon E, f'rinstance, with guitar speak 'wide open spaces', or am I the only fool who thinks this?
Great content Rick. It's so refreshing to have serious stuff about creative music. Oh, and the piece is gorgeous, the visuals also! Do I detect the touch of E. W. Quantum in the kbd writing?
Impressive and nice too! 🎶🌟👍
I did not know this double harmonic major scale and related modes. Your introduction to that was really cool. The "examples" at the end (your own compositions I guess) sound good!!! We love you Rick!!!Greetings from Italy.
