Square Circles

Tony has a way of using rhythm and repetition along with complex harmony structures to create things that stick in your ears. There are some seriously weird harmonic ideas going on in this melody. In an important way, the rhythmic consistencies, though odd as well, hold it together and make it approachable.

Sierra Morena

When applying altered tonalities, you’re intentionally trying change what the normal flow of the music would be. In essence, you’re in one tonal space, but you’re borrowing notes from where the song is going in order to set up what you haven’t played yet! Here, we start in a major key but it begins to sound oddly harmonic minor in the way the chords move under what Tony plays. You’ll hear two big pay off notes in the sequence that bring all the crazy ideas together!

Dream Mechanism Part 1

Break away from terrifying guitar ideas in this segment with a simple, catchy melody that outlines the strongest notes in a basic chord progression. Tony plays a good ‘road-trip type’ groove with it, and shares a part of one of his most requested songs. This is a fantastic melody and progression to dive into if you want to gain insights in developing your own melodies. Also, pay careful attention to Tony’s subtle phrasing nuances as he works through the slow and flowing melody.

Dream Mechanism Part 2

Tony first outlines the chord progression and explains how it inspired the solo he plays over a passage from his popular song “Dream Mechanism.” He drives home the point that, for him, some of the most inspiring melodies come from simply following where a chord progression wants to go. You’ll hear Tony’s Classically-influenced composition tendencies combined with some great straight ahead rock.

Pyrokinesis Part 1

Upon first glance, this line looks and sounds like a raking or sweeping idea. Closer examination by Tony reveals that it can be more fluidly done with legato playing. These arpeggios are what tie the broader melody of the song together, so it is important that they are clean, not too percussive, and sit just right in the groove. They go by fast when played up to tempo so be sure to pour over the meticulous breakdown that Tony offers.

Pyrokinesis Part 2

There’s a lot to unpack in this flurry of notes. You’ll be employing three-note-per-string sequencing, precision alternate picking and rapid position shifts. The position shifts actually create an opportunity to have more uniform fingering throughout. Rather than trying to stay in position, the player can simply repeat the same fingering over and over again making faster speeds easier to attain. This is one of those runs that does a great job setting up a soaring target note.

Pyrokinesis Part 3

You’ll get to stay in position, play in harmonic minor and utilize some punchy triplet ideas within an otherwise slower sequence. The rhythmic variance is challenging from a picking perspective and it is easy to tense up when trying to harness these short bursts of speed. Tony recommends taking the triplet transitions out of context to practice them first so you get the feel of how the pick is supposed to speed up. Then, when you’ve got these down, work them back into the full sequence.

Poison Cookies Part 1

Tony breaks down a run from his song “Poison Cookies” that has garnered many questions since he introduced it on his album Concrete Gardens. It goes by so fast live and on the record, that it appears to be more complex than it actually is! You’ll notice with Tony’s slow breakdown of the line, that it is largely triad-based and utilizes a strategic blend of legato playing and consecutive picking. Tony also covers the harmony of the chord progression and how it ties into the line itself.

Poison Cookies Part 2

Continuing with his glimpse into the song “Poison Cookies,” Tony looks at the build up to the solo section as an example of repeating rhythmic motifs that move from chord to chord over a progression. The main focus in learning this passage should be on making sure the rhythm is showcased as that is what is going to ‘hook’ the listener’s ear. Part of representing the rhythm correctly means paying particular attention to pick accenting and palm muting, even when the line speeds up towards the end.

Poison Cookies Part 3

Tony examines the chorus outro into the run from his song “Poison Cookies.” When this passage is played live, it is played with multiple guitar players. Tony discusses the keys to locking in with other players, especially in a lead guitar context and highlights several target notes in the line that serve as landing points for all players involved. To get the full effect of this lesson, practice playing with Tony as well as over the backing track.

Poison Cookies Rhythm

This catchy line is sure to have you coming back for more. Built off of the open B string, the straightforward rhythm and melodic movement just feel good under your fingers. The string skipping and speed of this line may be challenging, but with some work, you’ll get there. This line really holds the band together, and is a key element to the feel of the song.

Confessions of a Medieval Monument

With lines like this, many guitar players default to sweep picking. Tony asserts that in this case, these arpeggios really need to be approached with alternate picking in order to get the proper note separation. Sticking with alternate picking also helps to employ some of the other techniques Tony is using in this passage. As he outlines an epic chord progression, you’ll get to incorporate advanced muting techniques and strategic legato playing over an expansive arpeggio line.

Epic Part 1

Get a crash course in melodic development using what Tony calls a “mini ballad” or a song within a song. The idea is that you create a melodic phrase that stands apart from the rest of the song and make a hook out of it. It not only provides a nice solace in the middle of an otherwise high-intensity environment, but is a fantastic exercise in putting melody first. If you can think of your guitar as a voice, you’ll be one step closer to coming up with great melodies.

Epic Part 2

Whole tone scales are notoriously difficult to apply. Tony shares a great example of incorporating this scale in his tune “Epic” by emphasising other, more melodic notes not included in the whole tone scale. He also creates a catchy sequence that follows along with other band members. The result is a chaotic yet calculated sound that brings the whole band to a single moment.

Epic Rhythm

The title of this track says it all. The long ringing tones of this rhythmic line are nothing short of epic. While this piece is relatively easy, some of the muting could present a challenge. The harmonies present will also force your ear outside of the box. The band all seems to be doing something different, but holding your own as the guitarist is crucial to achieving the aggressive sound Tony is going for.
