If you've been interested in understanding a little bit of guitar theory and particularly how it applies to metal guitar, then this is a great video for you. Here we'll dive into the very important minor scale. We'll learn to play it in a few positions on the fretboard and listen for the mood and sound quality of the scale. With just a few simple concepts you can start to write some really cool...

      @@metal1mark73 absolutely! You can just move that same shape up to the 6th string (low E string) and it’s still the minor scale. If you keep it on the 5th fret of the E string it’s A minor. And you can move that shape around to change the key 🤘🏻

    TLDR; theory doesn’t “box you in” you just haven’t practice it until you don’t really need to think about it. Just a little info as far as how it’s worked out for me: practice all the positions of the minor scale and learn to play all of the positions as one giant position. Once you get so familiar with it and the triads within it eventually you won’t think much about it. From there you will intintionally break the rules playing wrong notes and chords where it sounds great. This is the point where you become proficient and theory is headed properly as a way to analyze and break something down you already wrote. For example: I will commonly start in a minor scale and move between Hungarian minor and harmonic minor in my accents. I will also borrow chords from different key signatures like Bmin instead of Bdim. I’m not thinking about what key I’m borrowing from I’m just playing something that sounds good and then I can understand it after with the theory. The reason people feel boxed in by theory is because they don’t practice it until it’s more subconscious.

    Good stuff! I've been learning the minor scale and its different modes. I hae the first 5 down sofar. But I'm not really sure how to use them together well. A lot of riffs and solos dont stay in 1 modes location, it will be several put together. so im not sure when to switch strings or positions when I can hit the same not in different places. Could be a good future video idea? Also, I want to get into using the different modes as the base, like Phrygian and Lydian. Nik Nocturnal had a cool video on the different mode sounds, and the Lydian one sounds so amazing. But I cant figture out how to actually get that sound.
