Thats the chords if you wanna jam on it, the A minor pentatonic will work just fine.
If you want more notes to play with use the A natural minor scale.
If you want even more flavour then play A Dorian over the A&D chords, A minor (F lydian) over the F and A harmonic minor (Phrygian dominant) over the E&G.
Damn id love to have 24 frets on my Les Paul when listening to this :) But anyways, awesome track. Anyone else who already broke like half a dozen g-strings while improvising to this? :D
@othon1994 pls.....they are not the same...they have the same notes...they are relative major and minor...minor gives a sad melodic feel while a major gives u a happy feel
i banged my head just cuz of the backing track! i must say if this was the 80's time of gnr and acdc id say this would be a hit with a solo , rythem :D
if this is easy for you, you should partner with a lyricist.. I studied "The Craft and Business of Songwriting" in college. It's tough. and you have something to work with. Nice stuff.
I was wondering what program you use for recording. looking to buy one. not sure which to buy. any advice? thanks

Ive been playing for the last 8 years, completely self taught never had a lesson. Now i feel ive hit a brick wall in my playing, im playing the same shit over and over, im not progressing. Is this normal? I feel retarded for sure. Im going to get some books out and start studying coz ive never done that only played by ear and feel. Can anyone give me some idea's how to break out of this plateau... thanks
@fIRsTRATmAN hmm i would say listen to alot of the music you like and transcribe it that will make your playing influenced but not imitating their sound also dont just study the guitar parts also listen and try to transcribe vocal melodies and horn section or piano parts as those sections carry alot of the songs feeling and mood
@guitaroplayer Watch for the roots in the scale you're playing, that'll be a good start! Try ending on the roots, and maintaining the rhythm is the most important thing of all.
I have spent two years self-teaching. Spent one hour with my fried who taught me basic pentatonics, minor and major and I feel like I am about 10000000000x better. All I want to do now is learn as much theory as possible, I feel such a moron but its importance has been completely understated to me in the past. Can anyone recommend some good resources to start with?
@123412341234het The Heavy Guitar Bible. book by Richard Daniels. It's in most music stores. Has theory, chords, scales, breaks the fretboard down into easy to understand pieces. and goes even into what chord progressions work together for song writing and how to solo around chords. Of all the music books I own thats the only one that doesn't leave my desk. Also look up guitarjamz com and the guitarjamz vids on youtube. EXCELLENT instruction.
A minor and C major aren't the same! In this song it is a A minor chord having in mind the last notes being quinta (5 notes interval) of A and E being played together 3-4 times in the end of the song.
@igvu92 Of course, you can play this scales... It's simple, because D dorian and E phrygian have the same notes, but they start with another (2nd and 3rd step ;))
So, don't think about weird names, use "major" or "minor" and all things will be easy ^^
The key is C the scales are C ionian, or G Mixolydian, F Lydian, it's all the same scale position, same notes. It has more to do with the chords you are playing them over.
@MrDrunken1 The Key is not C mate. It is G major . Just because power chords are being played it does not mean that major or minor are not implied.....
@MrDrunken1 I tack it back I hadn't realised that the third chord was F natural. That is the only difference between the two keys..... So yes your are correct. I must have not landed on an F# the entire jam. Although as I was playing E minor over it there would have been no F to conflict with it . That is why it would have sounded cool.....
@dantheman500 Your not wrong mate the song is in the key G major/ E minor .Tis is an A dorian chord progression.Try G major all over the neck you will see.....
@Kris273 ha thnx...i've been playing guitar for almost like 7-8 years now, but never learned theory... getting the hang of it now but its sooo boring :)
thnx for the reply, was a bit confussed because at the top it says c major shoud be ok ...but its not :P
this is my new favorite backing track, it sounds amazing if u combine a minor pentatonic, and the c major scale and its modes, especially a aeolian (Of course)
0-1-3 0-2-3 0-2-3 0-2 0-1-3 0-1-3 The first C maj scale you can play on guitar (C shape) (3-5-7) 3-5-7 3-5-7 4-5-7 5-6-8 5-7-8 The second C scale (A shape) 8 5-7-8 5-7-9 5-7 5-6-8 5-7-8 The 3rd C scale ( G shape) 8-10 7-8-10 7-9-10 7-9-10 8-10 7-8 The 4th C scale ( E shape) 8-10-12 8-10-12 9-10-12 9-10-12 10-12-13 10-12-13 The 5th and final C scale (D shape) Then you can make the pentatonic out of these scales for a better flowing sound and less clashing notes Hope this helps!
0-1-3 0-2-3 0-2-3 0-2 0-1-3 0-1-3 The first C maj scale you can play on guitar (C shape) (3-5-7) 3-5-7 3-5-7 4-5-7 5-6-8 5-7-8 The second C scale (A shape) 8 5-7-8 5-7-9 5-7 5-6-8 5-7-8 The 3rd C scale ( G shape) 8-10 7-8-10 7-9-10 7-9-10 8-10 7-8 The 4th C scale ( E shape) 8-10-12 8-10-12 9-10-12 9-10-12 10-12-13 10-12-13 The 5th and final C scale (D shape) Then you can make the pentatonic out of these scales for a better flowing sound and less clashing notes Hope this helps!
@iceman10129 Actually it's more of a rock sound which is Dorian. Try A Dorian it sounds a little more rock style. Aeolian is ok, but is better reserved for darker sounds like metal.
its nearly the same as my composition :d jeez, now u cant make an original song even , everythign is made , jeeeezzzuuusss!!!!! 3h of work goes to craper
@slappingTHEfatties yeah I do the same thing ( I also use most of the other modes of the Am penatonic and do them 12 frets higher when the ass kicking is needed
@slappingTHEfatties This is because you are using the natural minor initially then switching ( I assume you mean the 12th fret ? ) to the relative minor of G major . Which will make it sound sick! Good ears my friend
its in the key of c major right? So does this mean that we can only play the c major scale over it? Can anybody tell me what other scales can be played over this track which is in c major and how does that work. Help would be REALLY very appreciated. Please help , I am a newbie at this.
@devpunk93 a minor works well, as well as a tonne of modes in other keys, just keep tryin dif scales till ya find some ya like over it. theres no rules, as long as it sounds good.
oh would you theory geeks stop arguing for the love of God!!!!
If it's a C major progression, you can play any bloody scale and it'll still be in C major!! If you play the chromatic scale it'll be a C chromatic scale no matter over which chord you play the notes because of the underlying progression which is in C!!!! When it comes to music, you judge things by saying if they sound good or not! Theory is a tool, not a set of rules! Now shut up and play yer guitar!
For the love of God it's A MINOR. I agree, theory is a tool, but there ARE rules, we call these conventions. If i play a C E G, i cant call it a D major, that simple. Like this song you cant call C major. If you want to go ahead, maybe you can form a band with rchave, while you play a D major scale (calling it E minor) over his A minor progression (but calling it G major), rock on dudes!
Why does A Aeolian not seem to work for me over this track? I am playing the C major scale starting and ending on A btw! This is reallyfrustrating, please someone help! :)
What is this whole modal discussion here? This tune is as tonal as can be. It's just a jam in A minor with switches to A major, so all you have to do is play A pentatonic minor/major/blues. If you cant handle the switch then play pentatonic neutral.
So for all the whiseguys here throwing around lydian, phrygian and god knows.
That's BS. There's just accidentals. Because you throw in a F sharp doesnt mean you play dorian.
And the title is wrong; it isnt C major AND a minor, only A minor.
@kicsimoe A minor is the same thing as C major. And so is D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (Wich is another word for minor) and finaly B Lokrian scale. Not so sure about the lokrian actually, if it's B or Bb.
Sigh...no it's not. A minor resolves to A, while C major resolves to C. That they share the same notes doesnt make it the same scale. The same counts for the modes you name. D dorian resolves to D, E phrygian to E etc. If you play the notes of C major over an E minor chord you're not playing E phrygian but good ol' C major. If you however drone an E, play the C major scale starting from E, which resolves to that same E, thén you play E phrygian.
holy shit this is a stellar track
flangered 5 days ago
A/// D/// A/// D/// A/// F/// D/// E/ G/
Thats the chords if you wanna jam on it, the A minor pentatonic will work just fine.
If you want more notes to play with use the A natural minor scale.
If you want even more flavour then play A Dorian over the A&D chords, A minor (F lydian) over the F and A harmonic minor (Phrygian dominant) over the E&G.
Have fun jamming and OUTLINE THOSE CHORDS!!!!!!!!

@slappingTHEfatties dude thats just transposing the e minor pentatonic to an a minor pentatonic..
Forgeth3Bulletz 1 year ago
@slappingTHEfatties This is because you are using the natural minor initially then switching ( I assume you mean the 12th fret ? ) to the relative minor of G major . Which will make it sound sick! Good ears my friend

its in the key of c major right? So does this mean that we can only play the c major scale over it? Can anybody tell me what other scales can be played over this track which is in c major and how does that work. Help would be REALLY very appreciated. Please help , I am a newbie at this.

@devpunk93 you can play it in A minor...play it with the 5 forms of pentatonic scales, and play it hard :)

@devpunk93 a minor works well, as well as a tonne of modes in other keys, just keep tryin dif scales till ya find some ya like over it. theres no rules, as long as it sounds good.

oh would you theory geeks stop arguing for the love of God!!!!
If it's a C major progression, you can play any bloody scale and it'll still be in C major!! If you play the chromatic scale it'll be a C chromatic scale no matter over which chord you play the notes because of the underlying progression which is in C!!!! When it comes to music, you judge things by saying if they sound good or not! Theory is a tool, not a set of rules! Now shut up and play yer guitar!

For the love of God it's A MINOR. I agree, theory is a tool, but there ARE rules, we call these conventions. If i play a C E G, i cant call it a D major, that simple. Like this song you cant call C major. If you want to go ahead, maybe you can form a band with rchave, while you play a D major scale (calling it E minor) over his A minor progression (but calling it G major), rock on dudes!

Haha well said. I've been trying to say i couldn't give a damn what it's called if it sounds good. And it does. Simple!

Why does A Aeolian not seem to work for me over this track? I am playing the C major scale starting and ending on A btw! This is reallyfrustrating, please someone help! :)

What is this whole modal discussion here? This tune is as tonal as can be. It's just a jam in A minor with switches to A major, so all you have to do is play A pentatonic minor/major/blues. If you cant handle the switch then play pentatonic neutral.
So for all the whiseguys here throwing around lydian, phrygian and god knows.
That's BS. There's just accidentals. Because you throw in a F sharp doesnt mean you play dorian.
And the title is wrong; it isnt C major AND a minor, only A minor.

@kicsimoe A minor is the same thing as C major. And so is D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (Wich is another word for minor) and finaly B Lokrian scale. Not so sure about the lokrian actually, if it's B or Bb.

Sigh...no it's not. A minor resolves to A, while C major resolves to C. That they share the same notes doesnt make it the same scale. The same counts for the modes you name. D dorian resolves to D, E phrygian to E etc. If you play the notes of C major over an E minor chord you're not playing E phrygian but good ol' C major. If you however drone an E, play the C major scale starting from E, which resolves to that same E, thén you play E phrygian.
