Alexi's magic arpeggio's

[Mammoth]

Anyone know what arpeggio's Alexi throws in to most his solos. It is a faster than... Even with winamps Pacemaker I can't slow it down enough to pick it out. HE ALWAYS PLAY's THEM LIVE!!

If you got an gp3/4 file please send it, if it is correct...

Pacemaker heavily distrorts the sound when it's slowed down a lot and (at least on my computer) makes it sound like there's a LOT more notes played. Try Chronotron II, there's absolutely no distortion on that one.

Anything Minor and probably some phrigian modes too, he does mixolydian, Harmonic minor, melodic minor, a lot of kick ass scales

 

[Darthlardo]

Wow I'v been playing for 4 years and I no nothing about those scales

 

[bobvex]

YJM uses a lot of phrigian mode, and harmonic minor, along with other improvisations

 

[spellbound-by-the-bodom]

harmonic minor in c is my fav scale to solo in on keyboard

 

[Yngvai X]

from what i can hear its a lot of 5 and 3 string sweep shapes, nothing too out of the ordinary, check out some Jason Becker, he was the absolute master at this stuff.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

how the hell do people play that stuff???????

 

[bobvex]

PRACTICE!!!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

well yeah but shit. can you play it??

 

[bobvex]

no, but im practicing for about 3 hours a day so that i will be able to

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

wicked!! how long have you been playing??

 

[bobvex]

5 years, i started at 15 or 14

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

damn, Im so far behind with 4 years experience. thing that sucks is that I didnt practice at all last year.

 

[stoned&drunk]

Ive played for year, and i play 8 to 12 hours a day and im really proud of that!! Heres my works: www.sunpoint.net/~wildchildsolos

 

[bobvex]

yeah, well i just found out about guitar gods and what not, i just used to play it, i didnt really PLAY it. Now since i discovered COB, I'm 10 x better than what i used to be, and i keep etting better every week or so

 

[stoned&drunk]

[bobvex]

@stoned - Actually im at work right now so i am unable to go onto MSN, but i will set my MSN to automatically accept the file from you over night

Alexi uses a lot of major and minor triads, and also some major and minor 7th arpeggios, but I'm sure he does much more.
