All Night Forever (Outro)
🕑 Added 2019-11-28 18:15:00 +0000 UTCThis one was getting requested a lot, so we have to do it!
Pro Tips:
- Overall, most of this riff is just alternating changing power chords with a repetitive single note figure. In measures 8 and 9 (measures are shown above the notation in the TAB), it turns into these big barre chords. If you're less experienced, it might make sense to split it up into the various parts and learn them one at a time, instead of trying to play through the entire thing right away. In other words, break the riff up into little bite sized pieces!
- There's a lot of changing positions in this riff. The number position you're in depends on which fret your first finger is in. In measure 2 and 3 for example, you play a power chord in position 1, and the slide from the 3rd fret to the 5th brings you up to the 3rd position where you'd finish playing the single note idea. Then your hand jumps back to the 1st position and repeats.
- Measures 6 and 7 are the same as the first few, just shifted up 5 frets. Repetition, how nice!
Theory Talk (Nerds only):
- The chords are: Bb major - D minor - Eb major - Gb major - F minor 7
- Most of this song is in the key of E minor, but this outro is in Bb major. How did we get here? Well you see, during the chorus at 2:51, we play an F major chord (...and time will stand still). This chord works as the b2 in the original key (E minor), giving things a Phrygian sound for a moment. This same chord also is the V chord of the new key (Bb major). Because the chord makes sense in both keys, it can act as a bridge connecting the two. Beautiful!

What a great song one of my favorites
Awesome!!! Hey Lord Phobos! Are we ever going to get anything from “The Device” EP? I’d love anything off that especially interstellar strut. Thanks man!

Almost crashed my car when listening to the outro to all night forever once cus it was jamming so hard!
I know nothing about music theory, but reading about how intentional y'all are about it makes me want to start learning! Also thanks for posting on Thanksgiving and have a good turkey day!
This outro is such a bop!!
Glad you're liking the theory talk!
Not sure - if you think of what it is, let us know!
Woah, cool!

Happy Thanksgiving, Lord Phobos. I don't think Canadians do that though. I also picked up that Return to Wherever vinyl/shirt bundle. So stoked.
I thank you to the stars for this one. Can't wait to get this one down.

Ive recruited quite a few people to be fans of TWRP and I usually open my temptation with this song (usurping Atomic Karate). It tends to INSTANTLY get people groovin’!

I'm geeking out over here about modulation and modes right now. Thank you for the theory every week, I really appreciate it!
Thanks as always - and special thanks for the explanation of the relative minor acting as a segue!
Hell yeah! Another one of my faves! Thanks again, Phobos, for another killer little lesson! YOU keep rockin’! 🤘
Oooo one of my favorites!! Can’t wait to learn it!
Why does the outro remind me so much of a Beatles song that I can't place??

My favorite!! 😄 Thanks, guitar man! This is why I had y’all draw those stars in Iowa, they went into an All Night Forever tattoo 🌟
Thankful for you always, Phobos
