-> Theory wizards! Solo analysis

[popetot]

I'm just trying my luck to see if anybody in here has done or would like to do a thorough, deep analysis of one of Romeo's solos. I'm doing a huge ass paper on prog and would like to spice it up with something like that but it's due Monday so I'm sorta short on time (I'm finishing up the analysis of the entire The Dance of Eternity right now ). Any solo is appreciated but I was thinking about the first one in Divine Wings ...

Thanks!

I could try something later if I have time. I'm not making any promises, but if I get around to it I'll let you know. What exactly do you want out of the analysis?

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

im too tired to think now, but may i see your analysis of 'the dance of eternity' ?

There are guitar solos in TDWOT?

Don't know really ... Scales, modes, techniques, influences etc. ...

Well, it's in Danish ...

Man, i remember when I tried to analys Overture 1928 with DT. I made some clues but as usuall as it comes to progressive stuff, almost none solo, riff, fill or whatever are totally bound to a scale or so, chromatics, harmonics mixed with naturals are common.. But it's fun anyway (btw, my theory sucks, so maybe that's why i didn't come very far with it)

I just thought of the arpeggios after the muted passage in DOE (02:05).. I can play them, but have never really thought if there is any connection between them (like in some kind of regular chordprogression or so).. Please give me your clue, even if it's in danish (i'm from sweden, perhaps I'll understand some of it )

A lot of DOE is in A minor. The arpeggios are based on E minor, B minor, and F# major if I remember correctly (I returned the score book right after I handed in the paper today so I'm not sure ...). It doesn't really match with the circle of fifths (isn't that what it's called in English?) but nobody says it has to - as long as it sounds good. By using F# major, the A# stands out as a leading tone to the B's in the other chords and that makes it match pretty good.

I think that there is already an analysis of the first solo of TDWOT on the internet somewhere...I believe Romeo did it himself in an interview. Do a Google search.

Indeed he himself made it... I read it somewhere but I can't remember where
