Art of Arranging #1 - Harmony basics, using gaps, solving quick problems

Hi everyone!

Lately I've been less active due to a flood of things I had to take care of (and because I was in NYC). I'm back now with a new exclusive series!

I want to explain a bit more the things I care about while arranging, let you pick my brain a bit, These aren't pure lessons, just demonstrations.

Also, my hair is absolutely tragic in this video.. so enjoy that exclusive display too.

Regardless if you're a musician or not, let me know what you f...

Toxicity arr. Chorus analysis

Many of you requested this cut part of my Toxicity analysis, so here it is!

Compared to my other arrangements this section is quite basic, but it's not easy, and give a really cool look into the root of arranging and percussive playing.

Let me know what I should do next on Patreon! I have an idea for a more behind-the-scenes thing next.

Cheers!

Master of Puppets Ballad Section - detailed analysis & tutorial

Heyy!

Hope you guys are doing well. Finally I managed to upload the analysis of my arr. of  the interlude (ballad section) from Master of Puppets.

One thing I sadly forgot to mention in the video is that while arranging the melody against the bass/guitar line, I didn't really care much to stay in the "correct" octave melody, but rather played in any octave that's above the bassline. So in short as long as the notes of the melody line are higher than whatever else I'm playing,...

Master Of Puppets Analysis - Part 2

Hey!

Here's the second section of my Master of Puppets arrangement explained! 

I also recorded the ballad section (which many people requested), but that will be a separate post not to make a super huge video. 

I know that deep down all of you just cannot physically wait until I share my special iced coffee recipe - that's what you're here for after all 😂 That's coming too :)

See you on the stream!

"Beat It" short arrangement - TABS

Heyyyyyyy!
Here are the tabs for my recent version of Beat It 😎

In the video I changed the second chorus I play, but that was actually a result of a mistake (I improvised to get out of it thankfully). I was supposed to repeat the same thing I played the first time, so that's what's in the tabs ⚡️

Zip file attached, good luck!

My daily routine (regular stuff, practice, shooting vids)

Hey y'all,

I'm doing better and better, today my mood is finally up after a long down time.
A few of you requested a chill "daily" routine type video, I went a step further and made a (kind of) weekly description, with a few different "kinds" of days 😂 It's not really a weekly routine but I got to call it something 😳

Anyway, hope you enjoy this more chill content - I talk more about my regular life, and towards the end about how I record short videos and how long it takes...

Master Of Puppets in depth Analysis - Part 1

I'm back!

Feeling better now, hopefully it will stay this way now :) Here's a pretty in depth, geeky, nitty gritty look at the first section of Master of Puppets. Many of you requested this, but since it's such a long and complex track I have to break it into parts.

It's super detailed like I said, I'll put up some more chill BTS stuff soon too for balance ☺️

Much love!

🤒🤒🤒

Hey guys, I really wanted to post a few things recently here on Patreon but I fell very sick yesterday so I literally haven’t left my bed in 2 days, I also can’t respond to any of your DMs just now. Just wanted to let you know what’s up, I’ll surely be back on my feet soon 😇

Have a good one!

The Piñana Alternating Finger exercise

Here's another exercise I used to do a looot, and still use now. It is designed to help with hand synchronization and correctly alternating your right hand fingers.

While playing a lot of people tend to try to repeat successive strokes of the same finger, which is a mistake 99% of the time. Carlos Piñana taught me this exercise and I did it religiously through the whole fretboard. When I was 16-18 I started every practice session with it.

I promise Master of Puppets analysis will...

The Piñana Stretch Exercise

Here's another of my favorite exercises. It's kind of a unique one because it's super short and seems pretty simple on the outside. The only goal of the exercise is to flex your left hand tendons like a gymnast flexes during a performance - so that you can play big streches with your hand.

This was shown to me by my old professor - Carlos Piñana, so I coined this name for it. It will be more difficult to some, and to some of you it might be easy right off the bat. Depends on your exper...

SEPTEMBER LIVETREAM ANNOUNCEMENT

The exclusive Patreon livestream will take place on this Sunday 26th at 5pm CET on Zoom!

This month I am in a new place, and in fact new continent, but everything should be similar to the previous streams :) The only thing I am a bit anxious about is my Internet connection, which should be fine, but if there's a major issue we will reschedule the stream to Wednesday.

I cannot wait to see you all again, and some new faces too! The streams have been getting more and...

Toxicity verse explanation/analysis

By popular demand I broke down my arrangement of Toxicity.

The whole video was a bit too long, and I felt like some parts were too easy to mention, so here's me analyzing the hardest part of the track - the verse.

If any of you want to see me talking about the chorus let me know ;) 

New video comes out next week, tabs will obviously come and I'll also try to talk a bit about the behind the scenes goodies ✌️

Extreme Exercise no. 1 - Tapping

Hope you're doing great guys!
I've recorded 4 or 5 very challenging exercises which I used (and still use) to get better in my style. 

The video came out to be 40 minutes long so I will spread them out into separate posts, here is the first one, and probably my favorite tapping exercise ever. That's kind of arrogant to say because I made it myself 😅😅😅 but I love it either way.

It built the tendons in my left forearm enough to essentially tap anything humanly possi...

How I produced the beat for Kashmir (electronic production)

For a while now I wanted to make a brief description of how I produce the backgrounds & beats for my singles, but I could never find the time to do it.

I finally sat down to record a breakdown of my session for Kashmir today, albeit with some technical problems. The audio from the session had to be recorded in mono, so you can't hear any panning or general stereo coolness 😭 That being said you all know the track, so if it sounds a little worse on the technical side here that does...

Recent untitled solo breakdown - Marcin

I received so many requests for this one! Enjoy me talking about this 1 minute solo packed with ideas. A lot of you wanted to learn this (some of you already did!) this should help a ton. For those of you who don't play guitars it can also be a bit of a look inside my head :)

Oh, and hi from the USA!
