  • i feel like that 9 chord is used in like every superheaven ripoff grungegaze song ever in the least creative way which makes me sad because they can be used in some very interesting ways

  • I’ll try the chords soon, but I just bought your big group of drum kits and stuff this afternoon. Thanks for being a big help!

  • This is awesome! Well explained and making a convincing argument. The chords are way more interesting this way. Nice dude. Not that you listen to opeth (maybe you do) but they do similar shit in a metal context. Especially black water park. Check it!

  • Dude, how refreshing and dope to hear a south african accent talking about the greatest band to ever exist. Thanks!

  • Not sure where the name is coming from for that "C#7sus2" but it's missing the third, which means that you aren't really going to know if it's implying a dominant chord or a minor nine (C#m9) unless you look at the surrounding harmony and see if there's an E or an F in there.

  • I love how restrained yet open and droney their chords sound especially on shed and floral green. It’s dry, even sparse.. yet wide AF. Even on TLTYF in 2009, there’s always such

  • I recently came back to Title Fight and Touché Amore and I think the algorithm brought me to your video. Cheers from Mexico!

  • Just used these chords to write probably a top 3 song i’ve ever written out of like almost a hundred. Preciate the chords dude

  • Jamie has such a complexity while writing songs, it’s so catchy but it has so much to digest if you look for it

  • Great video, and I know Title Fight really isn't the band to be theoretically pedantic about, but I cant help myself:

    The power chord shape you show at 3:56 which you refer to as a Sus4 chord I would rather call a 6 4 inversion of a regular power chord. Though it very technically can be a suspension in the correct context 99 % of the time it is being used as and functioning as a power chord with a 5th in the bass rather than the root, and hence I find it more useful to think of it as such.
    You mention using it as a transition chord to lower string which I really liked. Placebo, QOTSA, and Fall of Troy all do that quite a bit along with using it as tool for better voice leading and voice integrity, though then 9 times out of 10 you would want to omit the root and move the bass note down a string to the 5th, or keep the root, add the low 5th and drop the octave.

    Quick last note: Suspensions and their converse (I promise this is the real term) retardations actually have meaning not just in note choice but in movement. Suspensions are supposed to be resolved downward (Sus4 to Maj/minor 3rd or Sus2 to root) and retardations upwards (Sus 2 to 3rd or Sus4 to 5th). Title Fight and many other Shoegaze/Hardcore/Emo bands seldom do this rather just playing a tetrachord minus the third or some add9 or add11 chord without the movement making these chord more like blocks of colour one after the other rather than the passing, functional nature of a Suspension or Retardation.

  • Hey Oliver, can you recreate the tone of dream police from mk gee? The most difficult thing of that tone is recreate the sound of the vg 8 from Roland.
