I'm an old Punk Rocker, and I find this channel a dark, bottomless well of knowledge. I was a trumpet player before I found the Holy String instruments I was fated to play, and Shred is putting a lot of knowledge back into my poor battered brain, I long forgot, with much new stuff, besides. Great channel, hilarious, imminently knowledgeable host. Respect!
@@gngrblls2thwall I recently was introduced to the Hungarian and Neapolitan scale. I mixed them up. My comment makes more sense for the Neapolitan scale.
I've been adding that sharp 4th degree in many solos where I've utilized the harmonic minor scale. Adding it at the right parts always gave such an awesome sound. It's so evil. Thanks for giving me more context in what it is I was doing.
Exactly on the same mood as you ; I was always looking for , how to exorcise the evil and demons thanks to my guitar .. fortunately found your channel, and sold you my soul
There's a Hungarian Major scale as well. That scale has some super "out there" modes, like its diatonic chords are a biatch to normalize into a progression.
badass example of why this scale is great. someone else was asking about Orff. i would also like to see how that o fortuna sound got extended into the early symphonic metal.
Almost certain that this scale is used in the last riff of Bathory Aria, the final lyrical+narrative song from Cruelty and The Beast, the concept album all about a fantastical and fictional (but very metal) retelling of the life of the Hungarian Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. It really wraps things up because A) obviously, the countess was Hungarian noble living in the late 16th to early 17th century, and B) it sounds evil as hell. I may be wrong about this, but every time that part of the song starts my brain just screams HUNGARY HUNGARY HUNGARY, especially because much of it is chanted by a choir. It sounds like a track that should have been in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
love to see more classical music breakdowns. O Fortuna, Hall of the Mountain King, Mars (Planet suite)... Some reaction videos would be cool ^_^ Love to see your reaction on Heilung (Lifa at CastleFest), Lord of the Lost, Powerwolf, etc
This scale does ooze evil. That minor 3rd interval to stetch to the #4 of the scale just adds so much, as much as I love harmonic minor. Hung minor has fun modes as well. Everyone loves Byzantine, and the Oriental Scale is also interesting, though kind of hard to use.
so many videos teaching these exptic scales, something I am perfectly capable of doing myself, but I want is good examples of usage so thank you for putting that in here.
Man, I play this kinda crap all the time... and I never knew exactly what it was. It reminds me of phrygian dominant. Which I also play too much. ( Your etude song at the end was badass. Reminded me of something King Diamond would do. ) So we know that sh1t is EEEEEEEVIL.
How did you come to possess this amount of knowledge regarding music? I'm just a beginner but I've watched quite a few of your vids and you strike me as someone who has forgotten more about music than I'll ever hope to know.
1:54 At first I though I heard him say "H-sharp, that's the evil note". While he actually said A-sharp, my head cannon will go to H-sharp and the sharp pointy abyss of Hell. Very evil. Muahaha
Don’t listen to death metal pig, he’s talking wack. That was amazing! I’ll have to implement this new source of dark sorcery to my own orchestrated noises...
I thought this was the 4th mode or Neapolitan or Harmonic Phrygian scale, where it’s the same as this but with minor 7th. Some of the other modes of that scale sound very funky (Edit wait that’s the Hungarian gypsy minor)

I misread "trumpet slayer" and I'm cracking myself up.
This scale is like if Phrigian knocked up a harmonic minor.
well said
@@ShredmasterScott you should do a lesson on the Neapoliton Minor unless you already did. That one is also very sinister.
Did you mean lydian? It's harmonic minor with a sharp 4.
@@gngrblls2thwall I recently was introduced to the Hungarian and Neapolitan scale. I mixed them up. My comment makes more sense for the Neapolitan scale.
Does phyrgian know you shouldn't knock up minors.
I'm Hungary for more scales teeheehee*cough*muahaha
I'd never wanna learn music theory again without your jokes. They make theory tolerable lol
Dude, that etude was better than 99.666% of any commercial album I've heard in years.
I've never seen somebody laugh with such a straight face ..

That etude is so melodic
in the most evil way
Sounds like I’m in a Quake or Doom game. Someone get Shred to be the composer!
Could you do a lesson on the fugue? You reacted to one a few days ago after all.
Also your evil laugh is so f*cking awesome.
good idea
The amount of augmented seconds on this scale is deliciously evil, I approve.
bro this song you composed at the end was the most beautiful fucken thing i have ever heard you are a gifted musician
Exactly on the same mood as you ; I was always looking for , how to exorcise the evil and demons thanks to my guitar .. fortunately found your channel, and sold you my soul
I feel like Shred knows more music theory than Adam Neely, but doesn’t want to admit it
Awesome. I experimented with this scale as a young guitar player back in the eighties. Thanks.
The song was so good man. Please make it a full song I would listen to it everyday!
There's a Hungarian Major scale as well. That scale has some super "out there" modes, like its diatonic chords are a biatch to normalize into a progression.
the chords are awesome
hungarian major is like diminished scale with one missing note
One of my favorite scales to play and warm up with!! The theme from "The Munsters", is based on this scale!!
Thanks!
De szép skála! :D

Loved this. Those are some drool worthy riffs
Satriani is responsible for some epic, malevolent tunes.... Hordes of Locusts!
Gotta say, your use of chords is awesome.
Joe satriani in itself is the best book for music and soul😊
Shred every week: "This is possibly the most metal scale ever! Mwuhahahaha"
love to see more classical music breakdowns. O Fortuna, Hall of the Mountain King, Mars (Planet suite)...

@Ola Englund also approves, nice Solar guitar and great playing too.

The oriental scale is another one?
@@Tatokala Yes, I believe it's the 2nd mode of Hungarian minor
Indeed...Thanks.
Ah so this is where Galder gets all of his sinister riff ideas!
so many videos teaching these exptic scales, something I am perfectly capable of doing myself, but I want is good examples of usage so thank you for putting that in here.
Your channel shreds! Awesome job here
I'm a fan of the *infinite scale* , with which you can have any scale in your song and make it sound awesome in any creative possible way.
Musterion is a killer track, the solo is really cool too though, it keeps key changing down by a half step
Thanks Shred!

Haha, I thought this was a blues scale when I first picked up the bass guitar
"hahahaha" now my favorite quote. Thank you.
2:22 Counterpoint is when two or more voices move independently
3:41 I'm feeling a Stand User here!
Proggy! I Love it! 👌
10 secs in and already Gates of Babylon Rainbow-vibes! 0:10
Double harmonic major. It's even sicker. This is a mode of it.
1:54 At first I though I heard him say "H-sharp, that's the evil note". While he actually said A-sharp, my head cannon will go to H-sharp and the sharp pointy abyss of Hell. Very evil. Muahaha
I like your style dude 🤘
Flamenco scales usable in shred would be interesting,not just usual Phrygian.
Brilliant lesson!
The middle finger you use for the keyboard in this video.... 😆 😂 were you in the key of F!!!!?
During 1:26 in the video I was moving into a land of both shadow and substance, things and ideas. And I thought “Are those eggs?”
Shred is like Adam Neely for metal guitarists
That riff at 5:25 . You rule Shred. \m/
Maestro Shred please make an album would buy 100%
Many thanks from a hungry Hungarian!
I'm Hungary but my doctor says I should leave more major intervals between meals.
It may as well be called the Opeth scale.
Fuck yes, sounds amazing man
“Karloff does not deserve to smell my shit!” - Hungarian Minor Scale

See Foreigners Blue Morning, Blue Day… written in Hungarian scale and channeling the Hungarian Suicide song Gloomy Sunday
I'll have another Guinness an another an another 🍻
I SOLD MY SOUL TO SHRED N ROLL! MUHAHAHAHA! 👹
3:42 I’m hearing Mozart’s Requiem here
Has meshuggah used these scales because this sounds familiar
NEXT CHALLENGE!!!
Messiaen scales!!!!!!!!
This scale would be amazing to contrast with lydian augmented
You’re awesome!
Also known as raga madhubanti in india💕
Does this mean that he's Hungarian John Petrucci??? And you successfully fried my brain (not totally, but partially, yes... Smells like bacon)

circle progression lesson please
I use this scale a lot.
Is "Colony" solo by Wes Hauch in hungarian minor scale?
Don’t listen to death metal pig, he’s talking wack. That was amazing! I’ll have to implement this new source of dark sorcery to my own orchestrated noises...
EVILLLLllllLl
Jerry Goldsmith used this scale a lot for The Omen's soundtrack
The Etude rocks. Slaughter Death Metal pig make sausage.
I thought this was the 4th mode or Neapolitan or Harmonic Phrygian scale, where it’s the same as this but with minor 7th. Some of the other modes of that scale sound very funky
(Edit wait that’s the Hungarian gypsy minor)
Here is one that I couldn't really find anything about: please do this one next. 1 b2 b3 b4 5 b6 7. I call it Augmented with b2
You can find this in every Death song :D
I learned it was called the 'gysy' scale. Listen to Django Reinhard for example. It is so cool scale.
Cool guitar.
This scale should be called the opeth scale
Awesome, you are so funny and cool, i like your humor. Do something about God Petrucci
Also called the Algerian scale, it's the same scale progress
yessssssssssssssssssssssssss the Etude really Evil AF
I feel like shred and Ben Eller should be mortal enemies
Brutal!
Thanks! I will have lots of fun worshipping le Satan with this scale!
What do you think of the Solar guitar? Im considering getting a 7-string from them. I already own a 2018 E1.6ETC and its badass.
Check out some Hungarian metal bands, there are some great ones
you're so useful
proud to be 50% Hungarian
I have no idea what I just watched, how do I start learning what this means 😹
Reminds of savatage
