Essential Lick You Must Know #3 | Robben Ford Style

Theodore K — Sat, 18 May 2013 08:22:41 +0000

Hello guys,
This is the third video from the Essential Licks You Must Know Series. It’s a lick in the style of the great Robben Ford. It combines the half/whole symmetrical scale with the dominant arpeggio and producing a very interesting “tension and release” sound over a G7b9 chord.

Enjoy!

[Video Streaming] Separate Pathways (Sample) | taken from Pattern Partner [LP]

Theodore K — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:55:31 +0000

Enjoy “Separate Pathways” (Sample) taken from the album “Pattern Partner [LP]” (2012).

Theodore Kalantzakos commented: “It is a nu-jazz track consisted from two musical themes. At the beginning each one is presented separately, but after a while, these themes are combined together to create a fuller one, giving the message that sometimes separate pathways can be joined and lead to one bigger and maybe better way in our life.”

Theodore Kalantzakos commented: “This track contains two guest solos from two great virtuosos, Theodore Ziras and Bob Katsionis (Firewind, Outloud). It is a Eb Prhygian composition in 6/4 and 5/4, stating that together is better!”

[Video Streaming] Memories of A Friendship (Sample) | taken from Pattern Partner [LP]

Theodore K — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:46:56 +0000

Enjoy “Memories of a Friendship” (Sample) taken from the album “Pattern Partner [LP]” (2012).

Theodore Kalantzakos commented: “It is a nu-jazz ballad that combines triple and eight feel rhythm patterns in a composition of arpeggiated melodies and walking bass lines. The track begins with a fade in vinyl effect, creating a past to present transition effect, giving at the same time, elements for the composition process.”

[Video Streaming] Human Parasitology (Sample) | taken from Pattern Partner [LP]

Theodore K — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:40:39 +0000

Enjoy “Human Parasitology” (Sample) taken from the album “Pattern Partner [LP]” (2012).

Theodore Kalantzakos commented: “Human Parasitology is a metal fusion composition, written by Loukas Kalantzakos and arranged by me, based on long riffs in 11/4 time signature and harmony in clusters. Notes like parasites, create clusters of harmony to support the larger musical linear themes. The large intro and outro strain the atmosphere that comes out from these stretched elements.”

Guitar Solos:
Theodore Kalantzakos (1:08 – 1:50)
Sinnik (2:30 – 3:06)

[Video Streaming] Microminiaturization (Micro) | taken from Pattern Partner [LP]

Theodore K — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:35:02 +0000

Enjoy “Microminiaturization (Micro)” (Sample) taken from the album “Pattern Partner [LP]” (2012).

Theodore Kalantzakos commented: “Micro is a progressive metal tune in E Phrygian. It is called microminiaturization because the whole composition is based in a very tiny melodic segment. The basic time signature is 7/8 but 4/4, 5/4 and 6/4 are also present to serve the final purpose.”
