Guitar solos, Theory

[pallarandersvisa]

Fuck lessons and fuck theory. It'll only get you stuck on the same patterns. When you're self taught, you have the ability to make up your own scales and develop your ear for music.

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

dumbest thing ive read on this board in a good few months

What scales can you create that haven't already been used and given a name?

You can actually create any scale you want, and give it your own name, there's plenty of combinations that still haven't been used. In fact, Steve Vai recommends that you do this as an excersice and then figure out chords that could be played with the scalem, and write songs with it and all that.

There's players that play just by ear and do not know any theory, Ie. Slash. He says he knows all the notes on the guitar, but doesn't really know how to apply theory when improvising as much as other players do ie. Joe Satriani

thats what i meant.. some people dont know theory... but they still know notes on guitar etc.. some of the greatest guitarist dont know theory.. but who cares... it still sound good

[Justinschut]

I haven´t even listened yet, but judging from the pic and text on the first page, he probably sucks

 

[Justinschut]

he´s fast, but in the wrong key

 

[spirit crusher]

holly shit he does suck...but the dude is quick!!! His riffs should be more melodic

 

[gkelter]

His RR1 isn't shit when he's playing it through a fucking MG100DFX. I have one, and believe me, it's the worst amp ever made.

You're right man!
The harmonic minor is a scale, it's the minor scale with the 7th degree sharpened.

The harmonic minor scale isn't just a scale, it's the main minor scale. The seventh note is raised, yes. It's pretty rare to see modern songs written in a harmonic minor key though - most metal doesn't raise the seventh note, which is basically how I like it.

For a blatant example of a harmonic minor scale, listen to the end of Metallica's Creeping Death; Kirk plays it.
