    All musicians are dealing with the same 12 notes. With all the millions of musicians on this planet, people are bound to come up with similar stuff just by coincidence.

    The guitar riff is exactly the same as "Domination". The time changes on the drums are different.

    I'm sick of this whole SX stole the Mirror riff from DT thing. Listen to Pantera's Domination on the Cowboys from Hell CD....put out long before "The Mirror"....and you find the exact same riff. So did DT steal this riff from Pantera? This riff is actually a pretty simple riff...I don't see...

    How does 4 notes per string make something harder? FYI check out Romeo's instructional video...he has examples of use of diminished scalar runs where he uses 4 notes per string.

    About Smoke and Mirrors

    I'm a guitarist too and I'm not hearing what you're hearing. No, that's not my intention. I'm just a person who challenges claims made by people who don't really offer evidence to back it up. Never thought you meant that. I just don't see any objective standard by which you can say...

    About Smoke and Mirrors

    Faster? How do you know this? Have you actually measured notes per second? Cleaner? I don't hear any sloppiness in Romeo's playing. Exactly how is Allan's playing cleaner? Of course Holdsworth has a wider finger range. He has bigger hands. That's not Romeo's fault. How do you know...

    About Smoke and Mirrors

    Basically what you're saying is that you like Holdsworth more than Romeo. That's fine, but by what OBJECTIVE standard can you say that Holdsworth is technically better than Romeo? I don't think you have one, so your opinion is no more than someone else who says Romeo is better than Holdsworth...

    Yeah, Dreamscape sounds closer to DT than SX. However, I'm glad you pointed these guys out! I had heard of them but never actually heard their music. It's awesome! Very similar to I&W era DT (which I always thought was DT's best work by far). They have the progressiveness of DT but more melody.

    At Vance's 'Solfeggietto' = Symphony X's 'Damnation Game' intro?!?!?!

    Yeah I got it. Guitar Pro is a pretty cool program too. I haven't tried practicing the piece, though.

    Examples of use of Phrygian mode in Symphony X songs and solos

    I was going more by Vinnie Moore's instructional video. He plays a B major chord, and then plays a B major scale starting at different notes over that chord to show the different sounds of the modes. So, yes, the mode is determined by the chord. I don't think we're all saying that a mode is...

    About Smoke and Mirrors

    I would say though after that they become pretty dissimilar...plus Yngwie sweeps each chord up and down while Romeo changes chords between up and down sweeps. I think the Bm chord progression used by Yngwie is a common classical chord progression but I might be wrong about that.

    Examples of use of Phrygian mode in Symphony X songs and solos

    You're right. I meant to say C ionian is a C major scale. My bad.
