JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADso it's like thinking a 4/4 but in triplets?Basically it’s like an up tempo waltz. Most blues tunes are actually in 12/8. Count by 3

Hey Syn! Quick question for fractal users, what amp model did you use while recording 'The Stage' i use a 5153 100w Red channel for most of my tones on the other albums but i have the stage cab pack and was wondering if you used a different amp model!
Exactly. All a motif is.. is a tweak in the melody the 2nd time around. Anything that can carry a melody will work.So motif works for every instrument? Even singers? For example when you hear a song and the chorus and most of the times, in the last chorus, the singer sings diferent notes here and there. For example this song:She sings diferent notes in the last chorus. Is this also a motif?
I'll take a look at it when I have the time, which backing tracks are you interested in?Papa Gates: "I'm just gonna shoot from the hip and play something silly"
*Proceeds to write a saucy blues song right on the spot*
One thing I noticed a lot for me that helps doing motif is to do like what he does here and to play the chords in the progression and put in the melody in between them. I notice blues does that a LOT!
Can anyone help me understand and find the chord progressions used in the backing tracks here?

Its effectively a 12 bar blues in A so A7-D9-A7-D9-A7-E9-D9-A7. That would be I-IV-I-IV-I-V-IV-I. If you take for example something like Olivia by John Mayer it has the same harmony but in G. One thing to notice here is that the backing tracks uses color chord(moving up a half step before it goes to the next chord), those are explained in part 2 lesson 8 I believe. It's pretty easy to hear where they are.This one specifically
Thank you so much Ids! You're the best!Its effectively a 12 bar blues in A so A7-D9-A7-D9-A7-E9-D9-A7. That would be I-IV-I-IV-I-V-IV-I.

But its true! I am cooking another CJ's 2 cents on something very close to this XD
I couldn't help it
YES! It was based on an Altered Scale - which is the 7th mode of the Melodic Minor. Definitely on the jazzy side.@Brian Haner Sr. What was that bit of scale you used towards the end of the "happy shredding"? Something Melodic Minor?
