    Intermediate Modal Scales w/ Unique Cadences

    Hey everyone, so I've been thinking about this idea more and more after teaching a few students the Major Modes. One of them raised a question (and I agreed), that when learning these modes in order, harmonically, they all tend to just sound like an unfinished version of the root position scale...

    Thanks, William! To be honest, it's hard for me to explain, there's a lot of producing, editing, and mixing that goes into these lo-fi beats that truly is its own art form. I just wanted to take that "vibe" with minimal amounts of sampling, editing, mixing, etc. and put the guitar to it haha...

    Hey everyone! I have finally put out some new music and this is a metal instrumental I wrote. There's also another one, but that's more of a Lo-FI type beat with some bluesy licks throughout. I hope you all dig it and follow me on Youtube/Spotify! Thanks!

    I really love incorporating tons of different rhythmic ideas in one riff, while keeping the notes somewhat on the simple side. Go give me a follow and drop a like!

    Here are my contest video and an original song I wrote a few years back. If you're not a fan my original tune, I'd love feedback on the guitar solo (3:41) - Syn Gates Masterclass - Original Song

    I've been on and off here for quite some time but decided it's time I step up and stay more consistent with this school and getting to know the community. I was grateful enough to be 1 of the 10 Masterclass winners back in 2014 or so, and want to share with this community my love for this...
