[FRETPLAYER_mx]

Hey Guys it's me again
so who knows in what scale and key they write their songs?
and some scales for "soloing"
:Smokedev: i wanna correct my solos :Smokedev:

 

[xshadowsoulsx]

Warheart would probably be able to answer that, or atleast help.

 

[Draznog]

I think they play the key of D minor.

 

[<-Warheart->]

E minor scales in DGCFAD.

Most of his solos now are natural minor. Loads of minor and diminished arpeggios, but it's more about the way he uses the scale.

Some songs use harmonic minor like Kissing the Shadows, Lake Bodom, Warheart.

Also, he uses the blues scale for improvising live in songs like Hate Me. If you watch the Guitar World interview on YT, you can see how he likes to add other notes in too to get different sounds, but most of what you hear is natural minor.

 

[Blindfold]

most of the songs are in D (power chords)
scales... yeah.. major and minor scales, pentatonics, blues scales... there are hundreds..

Em dorian????

Em dorian????

Sometimes.

It usually starts off as E pentatonic minor, then E blues, then more notes are added. For example:

E-----------------------------------------------12-14-15--
B--------------------------------------12-14-15-----------
G----------------------------12-14-15---------------------
D-------------------12-13-14------------------------------
A----------12-13-14---------------------------------------
E-12-14-15------------------------------------------------

He uses that alot when improvising.

 

[Blindfold]

allu improvising?

 

[<-Warheart->]

Yeah, he does it in the Hate Me solo live nowadays. That album version kicks ass.

Well it certainly sounds improvised even thought he's probably got some sort of idea of where he wants to take it.

 

[Blindfold]

yeah he max. adds 2 or 3 notes

 

[FRETPLAYER_mx]

hell yeah
you're right

 

[<-Warheart->]

I know.
