Classical Music Is Just Heavy Metal Before Electricity (Patreon)

The 3 levels of Neoclassical Metal 👇 (tabs below)

🛑 1. SCALE OF SOLITUDE 

Level one is the scale of solitude. I imagine Beethoven alone at night, composing music at his piano. He's fidgeting around with the magical notes of the B Harmonic Minor scale (B-C#-D-E-F#-G-A#). The raised 7th degree (A#), gives us something very special....a MAJOR V CHORD! The leading tone tension creates level 666 drama muhahaha! 

🛑 2. CHORDS OF SORROW

Level two is the secret Neoclassical chords Bm-Em-F#. The closed position voicings I used in the tab below utilize the open B string as a pedal tone. Instead of clumsy barre chords, try using inversions to sound like a classical composer 

🛑 3. MELODY OF DREAMS

Put it all together with level 3 in a Melody of dreams. By outlining the chords with scale fragments, you can compose lines in the style of Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart. Full tabs below
