question Shred i love the scales and all but i dont know how to use them can you show me how to use the scales
@@bananabiscut5174 It’s been several months, hopefully you have found some tutorials to get you going a little more on those modes. And maybe you even got down those licks he showed for each. A little advance, but it’s been 10 months, and if you practice a lot, you are probably already getting pretty good.
Memorizing the modes, and their exercises, will get you up to shredding speed.
One of my old favorites, that is still relatively beginner/intermediate is the, “up in fours.”
Let’s say, Aeolian, in A minor, starting with your first finger on the low E fifth fret (A). Play the first four notes of the mode, then go back and start from the second note, and go up four from there, then back starting on the third note (first finger should be on the 8th fret now), and so on. Then do it descending, starting with your pinky on the 10th fret, high E, as shown here. 😎🎸👍🏻
@@heyjarrod thanks man obviously ive got better
i playing children of bodom songs now and 331erock songs too (331erock metal youtube check him out) so thank you
Dude your arms buff as hell
Man I’d love you to drop an album of music like ozzy Osbourne’s work with Randy and Jake e Lee.
My wife was walking by and I said,"this is the Locrian mode capable of summoning the Dark Lord himself".She said,"not in this house".
Yeah... the girlfriend doesn't even break stride anymore lol
Already been summoned
show her you mean business bro!
😂!! 😆!! 😜! 😅!
Hagahahafa 😂
Fucking gold 👌
the Dimebag influence in your personality is so strong! just color your beard to red already :D
hahaha, gotta love Dime 🙏
How the hell you bout to tell someone where they got their personality from
@@kolin572 I meant that the way he talks and makes jokes (+ his voice) is really similar to the way Dimebag was if you look into the old Pantera home videos or Dimebags personal videos.
I could pretty much close my eyes and thinks its Dime on this video.
god thats the worst backhanded compliment ever seen
straight to the point! thanks mayne!
Glad you enjoyed it brother!
Why does Harmonic Minor resonate so deeply with my soul?! Obsessed with it. Cannot stop playing in it on keys or guitar.
Somehow, you remind me of Dimebag.
I'll take it!
Dimebag didnt try to be cool. It came naturally.
@@Iamadroid I'll never be a winner

@@brandonstonestone1795 Chicks love it
This guy gives his heart to everybody!
my satanic, soulless, black heart...
I love music! Don't know what you're saying, but, sounds like you do. I appreciate anyone who has a passion for what they do, and you seem to have passion and talent! Thank you for the free and educated content you offer! I have subscribed. I'm a metal head from way back, only now beginning to feel I have the patients to begin my journey as a guitar player. As I learn more I hope to understand and apply what you share. I think your a " Metal Professor!". BTW I think it's awesome you actually read and respond to comments. Keep up the good work!
We salute you!!
I'm pumped to hear that Craig. Spread the word! Let's continue our metal journey to greatness!
BTW, it is very helpful that you also show the musical notations written out as you play the riffs, because I am also in the process of writing down my own riffs in musical notation format. Very cool of you to be so thoughtful. Rock on \m/
Of course brother 🤘
The notes always help me get a sense of the harmony and chords. Cool that you’re reading music
* teaches how to sound evil using a scale *
* wears ac dc hat *
ac/dc have evil lyrics.
@@lopolik Yeah, I wasn’t sure what R’s point was either. 🎸👍🏻
@@heyjarrod I think his point was that AC/DC don't really use the ''evil sounding scales'' mostly just pentatonics I would say, but their music can still be dark, and evil sounding with the riffs, and evil lyrics like HELLS BELLS.. but I see the point like Shook Me All Night Long, their famous song does not sound evil at all, or even a lot of their songs, but some do sound evil.
@@lopolik Or the guy is saying he is just pure evil, ha ha!!! 🤘🏻
@@heyjarrod Stay Evil my friends. \m/
I don't understand anything of guitar, I'm just appreciating the sounds.
I like it dude!
Same shit with me, I for some reason like to consume technical how-to videos.
that's kinda dtupid
gotta start somewhere
@@ssosso79 I tried...... alot. I got way too hyper! I'm much better suited to vocals. Oddly enough, I'm decent at piano, still cant read it or write music, I just can play stuff that sounds like it was written. Idk how to describe it.
Harmonic minor is the best. That sharp is perfect.
One of my favorite scales for metal is the "Japanese" pentatonic. Great video btw 🤘🤘
Hungarian minor, hwdiminished, augmented, Spanish Gypsy. Chromatic scale just playing dark intervals lol
Those scales are rarely heard in metal...not that you couldn’t make them work I suppose. You’re talking jazz my man!
I always found Hungarian minor sounded a bit darker than harmonic minor
I find the chromatic scale pretty useful in metal one of my favorites next to natural minor and phygian dominant.
I heard cannibal corpse used hungarian mode in an interview
Those are my favorite. I'm writing a song about Moses freeing the Israelites using the Egyptian minor
That harmonic minor lick even sounded like Mozart
Thank you for make things easy and for free ☺
Thanks for watching brother
I prefer the Minoxidylian scale - aside from it's utility in harnessing the power of dark forces, it ensures hirsutism which is so essential to metal.
Great lesson....and a MASSIVE thumbs up for the Nightwish and Mozart art on the walls!
boom brother!
I love that little robotic sound when the mode name comes up 😂
I appreciate that you put the scales on the description, I didn't have to see the video from that moment but I did it anyway for the sake of the TH-cam algorithm and to hear your licks xD
Yore tutorials are so educational AND entertaining at the same time ! I took music theory in college in late 80’s. Had a hard time understanding and making sense of it all, but kept the textbooks for future use and still have them to this day. I was a percussion major without much experience at all with keyboard or scales. My brother has been dabbling with guitar for a while now, but his background in theory is much more limited than mine, I’ve tried explains the things I DID absorb in college with limited success, but I’m going to turn him on to your videos, because they will do what I’ve been trying to explain to him, plus he and I LOVE SLAYER! 🤟😜🤟! Think he’ll get a kick out of your videos and learn at the same time. Plus these bring back such great memories of college. Wish I would have dove into theory more seriously but in late 80s my thinking was “I just have to be seen by the right people and I’ll be on MTV “ next year”.
MTV, what the hell’s that?!? Smh... but that another story.
Anyway I love watching you’re videos, even though I’m just a metal drummer from way back , and I look forward to watching them every weekend and now NOW subscribed! Keep on cranking them out, so I can keep enjoying, and “ROCK ON”! 🤟🤟
This is Ben Eller with a beard, I'm not fooled haha
I thought the same exact thing.
that phil anselmo looking ass

I use a mix of Phrygian, Phrygian dominant and Locrian a lot.
This is impressively advanced for beginners like me. However I can't stop from keep watching his content. Mad respect from me.
I'm glad I subbed. The personality and the content is too METAL 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Bam brother
I like Aeolian and Dorian. But my main go to set of scales are the 5 minor pentatonic modes. It's the blues scale mainly, but it works for metal, and it is what I have memorized the most. There is a 3 note per string version, and it becomes a major pentatonic scale by dropping the entire scale down the neck 3 frets. I like to mix the minor and major version of the pentatonic during jamming, even in the same song. Slide in a couple of ghost notes here and there that are not part of the scale, but make it sound more unique and not so scale-ish, and wallah, an easy rippin solo!
Great lesson. Very glad I found your videos!
Dude. I’ve been looking for a vid like this to work on my lead licks for ages. Epic. Cheers man!
I’m a acoustic folk guitarist. I have no idea why I’m watching your videos, but I absolutely cannot stop.
haha, love it brother
That guitar is an absolute joy to play on. Love your lessons and your "how would Bach play metal" series.
SHRED🎸TIL🎶YOU'RE🤘DEAD💀
Appreciate you brother!
I've always loved the neoclassical feels these videos and scales have.
Cool video. Great breakdown with the tab as well. I'm subscribing. Thanks!
You got it my man, let's do this!
I here Allegaeon in the Phrygian scale in this video with the tapping you do!
That harmonic minor lick was pure goodness
It's hard to get more metal than harmonic minor brother!
Jees there's a huge difference to the ear between Phrygian and Phrygian Dominant. You wouldn't think the sharp 3rd would make such a difference but it completely changes the colour of the notes after it. Good video man
Thanks for this Shred. This will definitely add more color to my playing.
You're the coolest dude in this cosmos Shred.
Amazing lesson you know you're stuff thanks for the tabs
Double harmonic scale: phrygian dominant with a raised seventh. Ex: Gates of Babylon.
Bro, this is freaking fantastic! Thanks!!!
Thanks dude, really. Here's my subscription.
The devil IS frightening indeed. But it is God who designed him, and THAT is truly terrifying.
This guy needs to be in the new Bill & Ted movie.
\m/ Wild Stallions.
Stallyns... it´s Stallyns :)
Dude, you’re a combination of Dimebag Darrell and Wayne Campbell “Party On!!”
WoW that was awesome dude! Thanks!
Damn I forgot how good Locrian can sound, it's so abstract...
The lick you did at 0:55 was pretty cool!
Well thanks brother...maximum Satan is the key!
It took about 10 seconds to earn my sub lol. You're very unique!
THANK YOU
Your voice sounds like bill and ted :D
I bloodly wonder Dissection's most used modes 🤘
Thank you metal keanu!
It's funny how simple it is in theory when tabs are in front of you but then translating it to the actual guitar in real life for the first time makes you feel like you've never operated your hands before
Dont know what this has to do with "evil" -for me its just explaining the modes...But good job! Music is about reflecting the deepness of human emotions, thats all.
My three go-to scales are : 1) Nine-Tone scale, 2) Locrian Mode, 3) Egyptian scale
Dude your awesome dude
Well I’m pumped to hear that Ethan! Rock it brother!
Shredmaster Scott sir..how do I shift the scale portions so I don't need learn them 12 times instead just once ...
Not sure what you mean brother. There's seven scale positions for the 3 note per string scales and five for pentatonic scales. DM me on Instagram if you wanna chat about it
I mean the positions never change ...how can i shift keys ..sure there's a simple answer just don't understand .and Will do...
Yeah, that's just about learning the modes for each scale. I've got tons of videos on modes. And a killer course as well
Just found this channel a few days ago.. very cool... keep it up dude
Cheers brother!
Good tecnique my friend
Thanks!
Not even 10 seconds in..subscribed!!
cheers brother 🤘
Excellent video. Great scales
thanks dude!
Sick video Scott, always enjoy your content. Your guitar reminds me of Trey azagthoths haha sick. You deserve way more recognition off tops
Well thanks brother!
Get the tab!

Dude, I love your work, keep it going! suscribed!
Scott liked one of my Instagram posts awhile ago, screw it I’ll sub lol
Phrygian dominant is fucking diabolical. Also i need that guitar
this video would be my weekend project.lol
Man those scales are Phrygian sick
I use the Chromatic, whole note scale, major harmonic, and minor harmonic. Throw in a flat 5th every once in a while and you've got a great tune.
bingo
that lick at 2:48 is effing rad!!!
As a baroque n' roll guy, I have a habit of using the harmonic minor while ascending and the aeolian while descending.
anybody here know of
DOUBLE HARMONIC MAJOR?
sounds absolutely effin ghoulish when applied properly. dig it.
I've covered that in another video. Great sound
Rick Beato showed me just how great the double harmonic major scale is.
@@gregburns7065 Yes he did
Hey Shredmaster Scott! Do you happen to know Chris Holt or Shred Landry? Both very good friends of mine and very "sharp" individuals. Btw your gear sounds freaking awesome!! Very metal indeed.
Very good love it.
My BluesMetal scale is excellent. It's a combo of Hyrojoshi and Blues pentatonics.
The Diminished scale is missing! :p Great video btw thanks.
I'll have to include it into the next scale video!
Subscribed with bell notification. Thank you
I’m honored brother!
Excellent lesson.
Sexellent brother!
Amazing guitar
You look like Matt Heafy and dime had a baby😅
That's hot
Shredmaster Scott 😂
What tf ia going on here ??😝😝🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whole half diminished, whole tone, diminished whole tone, augmented, diminished runs ascending or descending in minor thirds, jazz melodic minor scale a half step above or a whole step below the root of dom 7 or power chord, lydian #5, stacked perfect 5ths, hindu, japanese, chromatic, etc, all sound sweet for metal.
I'll give you three ragas that can be suitable for heavy metal music.
1) Kamavardhini raga: C, D-flat, E, F-sharp, G, A-flat B, C
If you change this raga's augmented fourth to perfect fourth, you will get the Mayamalawagaula raga.
If you change Kamavardhini's major third to minor third, you will get the Subhapantuvarali raga.
For once in my life a teacher that I can understand . I may be able to learn music theory??? I'm at a block in my playing ability, I have gotten the farthest I could go by teaching myself everything I know this far. I pride myself on being self taught and playing by pure emotion and winging it ( The subconscious flow sort of thing) I do however know what it is I lack besides technical know how,positioning and theory. I'm ready to improve on this. Never could relate to the written music concept.This guy blew me away because it totally clicked. You are a great teacher.
Would love to write and save what I make up randomly. It changes from mood to mood.
Educational and hilarious. Can you tell me what scales AUGUST BURNS RED uses?
Should’ve included octatonic as well. Usually more of a prog metal scale but still pretty cool.
For those who don’t know, it’s just alternating half and whole steps (or whole and half depending how you start it).
Isn't that the diminished minor pattern?
I’ve played guitar for 20 years off and on. And I know zero scales. Always wrote music, always had people compliment and get intrigued by the stuff I’ve wrote. I’m learning that, I need to learn some fucking scales.
I'm subscribing only for the fact the you look like a young Dime Bag. Plus I need more guitar advice.
Between this channel and reacttothek, I shall convince my kids that music theory is *not* pointless and stupid.
Another interesting one to use is whole tone scale. It's more common in jazz, but some of those augmented chords and intervals sound nightmarish especially when palm muted, and as the scale doesn't really have any tonal center, it creates a chaotic lack of resolution in its sound.
FANTASTIKKKKKK LESSON E TAB OK
Hell yeah brother
that's what I like to hear!
Phil and Dime's hostile adventure
Wonderful video:)
Platonic scales: they're your friends... Bust JUST friends... :(
Friend Zoned!
They roll with the pentacostal scales don't they?
This is a sick video still man but it really defines the title “how to sound” teach me the scale and the run please G I wanna play this in my sleep boiii 😅👊🏼
I wish aeolian flat 5 was on here. That scale needs more love.
That’s fucking great🤘🏼
Ιflocrian is the most evil sounding....then imagine how SUPER Locrian sounds!
I’ve always sticked with Phrygian, aeolian, and I stick the harmonic minor and blues scale notes in it. Locrian I suppose is another mode in a scale so I’m sure I run into it
Hungarian minor sounds pretty cool too
