This is the creepy-weird guy you take guitar lessons from in the back of Sam Ash. You’re walking out after the lesson and one of the workers asks why you’ve been there for so long. “I’ve been taking lessons from Scott” ... “Who’s Scott??”, “He’s the...?” And you go to the back and he’s gone, the room you were taking lessons in doesn’t even exist.
I feel like this.... I like tacos..... They're everywhere....all types.... You can get em here or there.... Its an obvious choice to put on the menu cuz they're obviously kick ass and people like em. I like diminished scales mkay
Diminished chords, yeah for sure. Diminished scales? Less so. I feel like I've heard way more Natural Minor, Harmonic Minor, Hungarian Minor, Melodic Minor, Blues/Pentatonic than Diminished (WH or HW). Diminished chords and arpeggios? Yeah those are for sure all over the place and can be obnoxious/overused.
It's not about the chord themselves, it's about what you do with them. When you have an original riff or melodic chord progression and diminished works with that, then why not use them?
you love him wtf is wrong with you this is a stranger on the internet you only see through a video and no face get real i hope you dont have kids stranger danger aint in your life at all.
Great video on chord structure, but like you said it's all about how you present them, maybe a follow up video about the compositional techniques that really make these chords pop up and shatter the souls of the innocent?
thank you partner, what really kicked off my guitar skills were dimmu borgir songs, I used to know how to play many of them, and learned a lot, you can learn a lot from these chords, thanks for sharing
I always thought a well-placed major chord is perfect for metal (Fleshgod Apocalypse do this extremely well). It reminds me of a scene from "The Dark Knight Rises" where Bane talks about how hope can eat away at a person's soul. A well-placed major chord in metal is that false hope before you fall back down into the abyss.
Sorry for being a douche but there's a couple of mistakes here. First, an Emb5 doesn't have a natural B note in it, just a Bb. What you were playing is actually an Em#4 (usually denoted Em#11 because the seventh note D is also added). Second, a diminished chord also has a major 6th, or in the Edim case - a C#. What you played (E G Bb) is actually the correct form of an Emb5 from the previous part. That's not including the mispronunciation of Yngwie's name :).
My funeral is going to be a metal concert
That'd be cool
But it has to be death metal XD
I'm getting excited just thinking about it!
on my 65th birthday i want birthday dethday to be played by dethkolk! haha
@@Muzza1993 Funeral doom metal is more likely.

Thx man i subed 🤘
Welcome aboard brother!
Did I just watch a black metal chord lesson? \m/
Do yourself a favor and just figure it out for yourself and ignore everything you saw in this video
@@evgenysemenov6051 you said it bro \m/
Yeaaaah, no. Two and three note chords for da black metals.
Mikael Akerfeldt wants to know your location.
this is true XD
He already does. He can smell these chords from far away.
I thought this was a guitar lesson, but why did i summon a demon in my room?
Nova beat me too it
Nova idk man me too
Now do a full scary metal song only using these chords and dark scales.
Damn it you needed to pad this video out to 6:66 minutes 👿
Eli Santana 🤘🏻
...?
Or 7:06?
Eli Santana pad it like to DD extremes
I love the synth and distortion sound you have on the effects!
Scott became left handed after playing Emb5
hahahaha
Black metal bands be like...
Write that down!!!!!
lmao literally me rn

Lol same bro I love the evil sounding riffs but demonic stuf ain’t it
@@sumz2k363 wow that doesn't make sense but I can't blame ya well if you even if you turned the phone upside down it still looks evil
lol
The minor chords sounded more haunting. The major ones sounded threatening.
Those cords fit perfectly with Black Metal especially in the style of Behemoth
Burzum too
Agreed. Could almost see nergle (however you spell it) slamming away on his axe
Speaking of Behemoths 😂

And you have to ride the dragon home, through space it self.
I actually appreciate that you know music theory. Not everyone who play guitar and metal especialy knows theory.
Those chords sound way better on piano and acoustic then electric.
Only major 3rds, 4ths and 5ths and a few others tend to sound good with that much distortion.
True
Not a fan of black metal, I guess
Of course they do. But the title says scariest notes, in which they did sound pretty scary.
With distortion like that you can't really play them unarpeggiated on an electric, unless you like black metal
Awesome video..straight down to work and clear instruction.. love it. Have subscribed 🤘
bad ass
Every time you bust into the acoustic my mind defaults to the acoustic intro for Bathory’s “Fine Day to Die”
VikingFyre true!
I totally hear that lol
I swear Scott is the best teacher when it comes to transer complicated music theory into a fun and easy to understand way!
Thank you!
The feeling when you have been studying some music theory and actually understand what he is talking about. 🤘🏻
BRUH you’re HILARIOUS I love it
SUBSCRIBED
I can place 5 Dream Theater songs using almost every chord you nag out.
I mean different songs for each chord. John knows what’s up.
Chip Fisher Oh no, no no. John Petrucci is the lead guitarist of the band Dream Theater.
John is METAL AS FUCK.
I didn't expect a Viking teaching me how to summon demons with guitar at 1 AM
you look like a mix between kerry king and keanu reeves
I ate them both
And petrucci too
keranu kives
if hes over 6'4 he reminds me of Mick Thomson from Slipknot lol 😂
I WAS ON THE 10TH SECOND OF THIS VIDEO AND HADN'T LISTENED TO A SINGLE NOTE WHEN I REALISED THAT SHREDMASTER SCOTT WOULD BE MY ETERNAL LORD AND MASTER
love your vids man keep it up!
I definitely agree, diminished scales are overused at too much in metal it’s cool and everything but it’s so played out I’ll never use it
I feel like this....

There's a time and place to use it tbh.

Dude, this channel is sick! SUBBED!
Awesome video!!

First video I've watched by you shredmaster but I'm hooked lol
I love this channel.
subbed. this is great!
Can I get a Mayhem!
Seriously I gotta listen to freezing moon after this.
Keep it up shredmaster!
Subbed! This is quality. \m/
What about saddest guitar chords? Em add9 is always a good one! :)
The saddest key is d-.
Try Lifelover
2:50 you can hear that chord in the Rime of ancient mariner from iron Maiden...
Scott: Diminished chords are overused
Me: So you have chosen (tech) *death*
I always thought the scariest, most horrifying Metal chords were those that beginner Metal guitarists played.
Ok, I'll see myself out...
Wanna make the babe scream....lmfaoo dude funniest thing I've heard all day. Fuckin love you dude
Thanks, shred master Scott for the chord ideas.
Combined all those chords into a badass riff followed by some evil background sound effects and you have a black metal. 🤘😎
Watched the video with the lights off. Now I'm afraid to go into the garage alone.

Quality stuff, had to sub
Awesome vid and I believe a UV777 Ibanez?
Did you just say Ing-Va-Jay?

This channel is awesome. Going to show it to my sons piano teacher
The first 1 Sounds like Dunkeleit of BURZUM to me. 😊
that's because its used in it!
Thank you!!
BASS player here, nice video, instructive and entertaining.
Great day for binging on Shred TH-cam videos, tomorrow being New Years Eve.
perfect day
King Crimson's 'Red' consists of virtually nothing but scary metal chords, but doesn't sound scary- just extremely tense.
Thanks brother🤘
You are genius bro :D
Awesome Video
Nergal is taking notes 😂
Could you do scariest bass riffs in black metal
The Chords played on the acoustic, totally sounded like Diablo 1
This video is fucking awesome!

Cool video!!
You basically broke down Esoteric Warfare for us
It’s all about messing around with that fifth
Dissection noises
I think that if you Shredmaster Scott played C major, it would sound terrifying
When you put a cross over upside down its looks like a sword 😂
I like your style brother. Stay metal.
As a self taught, I’ve used all these chords except the e diminished.
Keanu's voice coach for Bill n Ted. Can also teach music theory on his day off.
I use E locrian chord with distortion adding "B" open note. So it is...

Gonna go tremolo pick these chords now in a cold basement
Good lord, i love this guy
That goes in my basket
You forgot to introduce the riff you’ve got with these chords for us
this tone is killer!
Wow wait! What was being played in the backing of that Em chord? What made it sound so evil? What instruments were playing what notes?
Any possibility of a video on how to create scary chords? like create your own and new ones.
A great follow up would be, Virus Chords ;)
acoustic part sounds really good
Very cool video
