Droning sounds simple right? Welp, yeah, but it can be way complex too! The pedal tone opens up a whole door of amazingly weird progressions and effects, and this lesson should walk you through what those might feel, sound, and look like.

TAKE NOTE- When I say "Western Mainstream", I'm speaking from an American Pop Music perspective. There are more styles of drone music than those from India- I did not mention the Hurdy Gurdy or the Bagpipes, two heavyweights in the world of droning. The bagpipes themselves drone on a single note while the rest of the pipes are tuned to a mixolydian scale relative to the drone. This is the second time I have likely offended the Scots, and twice now I must beg their forgiveness.

I also did not mention the importance of pedal tones as they apply to metal, since I went over that topic in my video on the Metallica Scale    • How To Write Metal Riffs using the METALLI...   and also in my video on Mixolydian Rock    • How To Make A Classic Rock Hit Single 35 Y...  .

Wanna jam over the same note for 10 minutes, you weirdo? Well so do I. Here's the track.
