CHUGS ARE BORING: Let’s Use New Intervals

If you’re looking for alternatives to the powerchord chug, this video will show you new sounds you can use - through a lesson on intervals - so you can have more sounds at your disposal and thus write more interesting riffs and breakdowns. I really enjoy making videos like these about how to write riffs, as well as lessons on music theory that apply to metal guitar, so if this video helped and you’d like to see more please let me know in the comments! 🙏 Subscribe for more music lesson videos - 💞 Watch me mix the ending demo, get tabs for it and MORE - 00:00 - Intro 00:21 - Defining “Chug“ 01:10 - Explaining Intervals 02:35 - The Interval Everyone Uses (and why) 05:30 - The Shorter Intervals 06:42 - The MINOR 2ND (1 semitone) 07:55 - The MAJOR 2ND, MINOR & MAJOR 3RD (2,3, and 4 semitones) 09:24 - The FOURTH (5 semitones) 11:16 - The DIMINISHED FIFTH (6 semitones) 13:00 - A Word About The FIFTH 13:53 - The Wider Intervals 14:20 - The MINOR 6TH (8 semitones) 16:00 - The MAJOR 6TH (9 semitones) 18:00 - The MINOR 7TH (10 semitones) 19:46 - The MAJOR 7TH (11 semitones) 21:53 - My Major 7th Riff :) ------------------------------- Connect with me: 📸 Instagram - 🎵 TikTok - 📘 Facebook -
