    It's a great Video, but can I make you a suggestion? Make a second part, in which you analyze a bit the counterparts. What I mean is, Gilmour is this Q&A by playing certain parts on the high stings (G/B/E) and octaves (12 fret and higher) and skips than to the low strings (E-A-D) low octaves (fret 0/1/2/3) ...

    I just tried jamming with your 3 notes per string pattern. I have fairly small hands and tend to avoid 3NPS because it's often too much of a stretch for me, and I never really got fluent with it. I found an interesting thing though... you can add some nice tension by missing out the middle note on each string and moving up and down the pattern on the high and low notes. You wouldn't want to play a whole solo that way, but it freshens things up for a few bars...

    Song of Time (Song of Double Time specifically. From Majora's Mask) . Nice choice my man.. Interesting to watch this. There are certainly differences to doing this on Bass vs Guitar. I'm a Bass Player, but watch your channel more than any other channel on RUclips. Specifically for the music theory. I'll pick up guitar at some point, but for now, I'm dedicating myself to Bass and songwriting. Really appreciate everything you do man. Thanks so much. Bought your Chord Progression Codex. I'm sure I'll be purchasing the Songwriting Course and the Rhythm Course too, especially the Rhythm Course to go over with my Drummer.

    When trying to line it up to a 32nd note grid, yeah. 200 years ago they’d just have a little Italian word over that section. What I really want to know is why they don’t play the delicious quarter note triplet part on Sad But True when they play live. Without that tension, the song dies.

    So harmonic minor, leads to certain chord progressions, and also the scale have 7 different modes which in turn leads to 7 own chord progressions? How much can one derive btw, can one keep deriving modes of the modes? 😅🤯 Gah.. my head hurts..

    something you can do instead of the 4/4 9/8 thing which will keep your DAW organised is to automate the BPM to slow down a bit on the last bar, this also means you can get more unpredictable and organic wonky grooves

When you start making the transition from beginner to mediocre player you understand the concept but when you go from mediocre to a little advance you really start to see the relationship. Great video... I suggest you watch this video everyday for about a month if you're a newbie. It will pay off in the next few months of your playing journey.

    I actually use this trick with my own riffs, specifically creating mock-ups of riffs on FL Studio, then adding in or cropping out specific 32nd notes on what would otherwise be solid 8th notes in order to create an off-kilter effect, almost like the song is intentionally off-tempo. This is especially effective for metal.
