That's a great question and honestly another video I should create. I'll make a video surrounding this topic next month (after "Metal Month"/October). But, if we're talking about playing over standard power chords - most players use basic pentatonic-based ideas, mixed with Aeolian/Nat. Minor ideas. That's the standard way of doing it and matching things. But from there, once things start getting more exotic and different chords/tonalities start happening, then the scales you use over those chords will need to match those sounds and be more exotic too. It's VERY important to remember that all chords come directly from scales. So, there's a chord that will match any scale, and vice-versa - scale that will match any chord (or chord progression). Needless to say, there's MUCH more where this came from and your question is literally the next step in understanding how to actually use this information. Knowing the scales is one thing, but knowing how to use them is something else entirely, and a great idea for a lesson in the near future! Good luck and most importantly - have some FUN! \m/ ROCK ON \m/
Hey again David, I have only recently discovered Axil Rudi Pell. I have been really stunned by some of his great music. Love the song “Eternal Prisoner” just wondering if you’ve heard much of his work before? Cheers Ewan
You can get a ton of mileage out of minor pentatonic with an added maj 2nd. All your licks still work but that one extra note in there really puts a bowtie on it
Metal Scales & Modes! An instant watch! 🎸🤘
Great lesson David! I actually learned a lot of this years ago from the "VHS" of the legendary Frank Gambale: Modes: No More Mystery
Thanks again Dave. great lesson - love the double harmonics.
Thanks Dave! Very concise!
Here for the metal!! Metal has always been my favorite🎸🎸👏🏻👏🏻💀💀👻👻 Awesone lesson David!!
Great video !! Pleaee do make a video showing us how to use these scales over chords !!?? Sounds like an aweome idea !! Thanks Dave !!
Well one thing you could do to start is to match the notes with the same chords in the scale
Way cool lesson
Great advice on reviewing.💯
Thanks for the refresher mini course. As always a great lesson!
Loved that the background albums changed to pair with the specific scale/mode you were covering. #chefskiss
How do you use the scales over chords?
