sweet mother of....now this is a lick!!

[OldskoolDM80s90s]

I'm play a lot of rhythm guitar, never really had a good way to approach a lick or solos, your videos are great.

inside the fire by disturbed... rip offffff

[xxcannibalxchristian]

@elgrau1 its not a rip off. that diminished progression is really common. and its a little different than how dan donegan plays it.

[Masterboychris]

Dude.. that was a diminished arpeggio, nothing related to the harmonic minor scale..

[guitarmetal1]

@Masterboychris I'm actually using only four notes from the E harmonic minor scale. Alone it can be considered unrelated but within the context of the E harmonic minor scale is what I intended. Visit the lesson from the link (click "Show more") above for tab and a better explanation. Thanks!

[Masterboychris]

@guitarmetal1 Lol, I'm not gonna start a fight or anything, and I'm not the greatest guitarist either.. But when it comes to musical theory, I know my stuff.

You're playing a diminished arpeggio.

A diminished arpeggio is four notes.

Kthxbai.

[foxybrown2]

@Masterboychris you are right

[6EELZE6U6666]

@foxybrown2 no he isnt

[6EELZE6U6666]

@Masterboychris a diminished arpeggio is not 4 notes, a diminished arpeggio is a 1 b3 b5 triad, the b5 is what makes it diminished... you can also think of it as a minor triad with a b5... so actually its 3 notes, anything more then its an extension upon the triad, believe me when it comes to music theory I also know my stuff ;)

also he's put it in the context of the the harmonic minor scale, so since the harmonic minor has a leading tone, 7, instead of a b7, it contains 2 diminished triads

[Masterboychris]

@6EELZE6U6666 Sorry I meant Diminished 7th. Now would you cut the crap that is a diminished 7th arpeggio.

[6661victor]

yea that was rather assholish and ignorant. Iy's always the lame guys that suck who critcize the rest. i believe the term is cld Hating.

[cowzwithgunzii2009]

@HImynameis303 Wow really? that was really assholish this guy is obviously really good at what he does, I'd like to see you accomplish what he just did.

[HImynameis303]

@cowzwithgunzii2009 No thanks I prefer to make music the simple way. Not just hit fast random licks and think I'm kirk hammster or Dave cumstain.

[LTDGuitars420]

First off, "hitting" fast random licks isn't hard at all it's just mindless, so obviously you don't just make music the simple way. Obviously you don't know anything abut playing the guitar either, Mustaine and Hammett's music isn't really difficult to play, they both use a lot of basic scales and techniques. I bet you're a shitty guitarist.

[codebabe]

@HImynameis303 wow, that was really lame.lol you dont know anything about music if you think all they do is play fast and random. theres plenty of direction in what they do.

[Gangstareel02]

sounds a little like something alexi laiho would do

[cobshredder4aw]

@Gangstareel02 alexi doesnt use diminished scales, he uses melodic minor. just sayin bro =D

[TalonWolf]

Sounds like Alex Scholnick. Or however it's spelled.
