So, I'd really appreciate some directions, like what scales and chord progressions are most common, and what other bands should I give a listen. Is neoclassical approach good here? Thanks a lot in advance, cheers. Maybe you can listen Rhapsody of Fire. I love them a lot! Their guitarist Luca Turilli always uses neoclassical stuff. As for scale, you can try Harmonic Minor i guess. Hope that helps a bit Cheers, Dogukan.

There are many different kinds of Symphonic Metal. Symphony X is extremely technical and complex both rhythmically and theoretically. Avantasia (Tobias Sammet from Edguy) is extremely tasty and only brings the most melodic aspects of metal into their music. Dream Theater isn't technically symphonic metal, but they too have many concepts that you can apply to your own playing.
I'm not sure. I don't like putting music into boxes, but at least you have some suggestions. -------------------- My YouTube Channel

Hey people, just wanted to share with you that our first song is almost done.
We recorded bass, keyboard and guitar parts. In this version of the song are just some lame drum samples from EZdrummer which I put just so it doesn't sound empty, but our drummer will make more creative drums soon. And we need to record the vocals. I'm the one who's doing the mastering and it's the first time I'm in charge of a song production so bear with me. When I was in my former bands, we usually just recorded everything and then paid someone to do the production but now my goal is to learn it so we can save money and gain knowledge, and it will (hopefully) make everything easier, plus give us the freedom to finish the song the way we want to. Here's what we made so far, the instrumental version: http://soundcloud.com/dino-trnka/dolia-winter-queen When we finish the song, I will put that version so you can tell me what you think of it as a whole For now, I'd really appreciate your general opinion about the song, the melody, catchi-ness, production (it probably sucks, I know), and in the end, the solo Thanks a lot in advance mates, cheers! |
