I hate penta-tonic scales....the "Blues"...*Yaaawwwnnn*

Google for Scriabin...Atonality...transcending...Diminished.

You guys are just not familiar I think with music theory or at least
anything outside the popular, 3 minute, commercial, pop radio realm.

I could be wrong....

Anyhoo...

the song ends abruptly...because if you read the post...I said it's a WIP...

WIP means Work In Progress...as in not done...

The first slow section is done.

Theory wise...if you are in a key...and the key stays the same...you
can do anything you want to as long as you touch on that key.

You may not resolve anything...
or create a melody...but you don't have to accomplish everything
you want to say in 2 minutes.

There is no law that says I can't make a pretty melody and ripping
solo...then go totally nuts and become a cacophany...then go
back to beauty.

I don't play shred...in fact I hate shred...I don't play metal....R & R,
jazz....I'm developing my own style. You can't or won't be able to
categorize my music most of the time. Some people call it crap...
others have said it's brilliant.

I don't like Britney Spears or Micheal Jackson, but can 1 billion records
be wrong.

Some people...ones I know who
are pro studio musicians or composers understand my music....

They don't always like it...but they know where I am coming from.

That's ok...I write music for me...not anyone else.

Sure it's great if they like it....but if they don't....who cares?

They are not paying me for this s***....:lol:

Check this out you guys...it will give you an idea of the vibe I am
trying to transfer from this type of music to the guitar and any
other modern instrument I can lay my hands on.

Here check this out.

Clips from Alexander Scriabins work

Try some Trevisan as well...

Anyway...hope this helps you a bit...8)

BTW...I'm not b***ching...it's just a pain in the arse to have to
educate people when something isn't John Petrucci, Led Zeppelin
or whoever...

i think i've sorted through all your pompous jackassery to the bottom line of this whole thing...i'll try to put it in layman's terms because not all of us worship yngwie or his moronic attitude. basically from what you've said, the song is chopped up and there are different parts completed but it isn't completely filled in...is that about right?

not for your attitude problem:

quit stroking your ego, dude. i was writing 12-tone charts in high school for homework and writing atonal counterpoint charts for fun. i understood much more modern and much more atonal works than the wankfest you're claiming is greatness. so shut it and put your ego in check and quit with the aloof writing because you're not above us.

get back to me when you're done analyzing george crumb's black angels and then we can talk about atonality.

personally, i don't hear anything really out of it other than the parts that cut to other parts like at 0:40 and 1:24 and 2:05 where it just all of a sudden cuts to something different without any sort of rhyme or reason. oh yeah, and don't give me the bull about atonality, your stuff is as tonal as it gets.
