Everything played normally on a fretted, tuned guitar (aside from bends) comes from a scale. If you cannot think of one then the chromatic scale is the catch all.
I made a post about an observation of a concert, I wont keep repeating myself. You are this guys buddy right?

He displayed a strong tendency to arpeggio over major barre chord shapes. The songs they were playing had no scales in them on the Telecaster players parts. He displayed himself playing any single note runs by doing them with one finger and moving that one finger up and down the neck. His style was very extreme, so extreme as to stick in my mind. That is what I saw. These others are telling me I didnt see this of course, maybe they think I was on LSD or was dreaming. If someone paints a wall white, and I say look, I saw that wall being painted white and someone says, no, no you didnt that is a stupid observation. Bear in mind I am a guitar player of like 30 years.
Haha mrTago, it isnt you, you come across as a calm poster dude. My concern in here is that when someone posts an opinion or a truth in here and another person posts continual sarcastic comments that are totally unneccesary and also out of context, that they start an argument they wont let go of for like ten pages

Arpeggios exist in a scale. Perhaps he did not use proper fingering but what does that matter really. Metallica often uses strictly down picking
His parts in the concert I saw had no scales during the time the camera was on him, for the whole show, and I wont repeat this again. That is what I saw.
This is your latest attempt to try and point the finger away from your continuous out of context sarcastic statements that were incorrect.

wow, I didnt expect you to be into Zappa lol. Thats a real out there music. I wasnt expecting that. People into Metal often wont listen to other types of music, it is to your credit dude.

I used to be like that where I only listened to metal but then I got interested in more experimental stuff so I started getting into prog rock and Krautrock eventually journeying into other really avant garde stuff. I only rather recently got back into metal which is why I came here. But yeah more than metal I listen to experimental rock and industrial.

What kind of metalheads have you actually met? In my experience they're usually some of the most open minded music listeners and they listen to a wide range of genres. You only need to look at "the thread where you talk about music you like" and the "non-metal themed mixtape mixtape game" in the GMD social forum to see that is true of most (all?) posters here.
Please don't go in to a story about how a long time ago you met this one metalhead and he was only into metal and so you've based all your thoughts on that.

I'll be fair to Rusty and say I have seen a lot of metal heads who were only interested in metal. It obviously isn't an issue on this site at all but I think it's more to do with the teenage crowd they get into metal and they don't care to really dig into anything else. As I've said I was like that when I was younger the only other music I really paid attention to were a few classic rock bands I was already into like Pink Floyd and Queen. I do find it funny though how many of the metal heads I've spoken to are especially intolerant of more extreme stuff like harsh noise and power electronics.
Of course there are many people whom like Metal who are into other types of music. But also there are many whom listen only to metal and condemn other types of music, particularly pop and soft music. There is another observation I made that I always find interesting, and it is where so many people deny that they like Abba. I always make a point of saying I like Abba, because I do ( I do I do I do lol ) because why should I have to hide that? Its like people have a fear of ridicule sometimes, and not all, I mean generally, I get the feeling that people say they dont like Abba songs so as to avoid ridicule. Abba in my opinion were the best writers of melody and pop songs in history. Of course some people generally dont like Abba, but, there is definately those whom will deny it lol
