[MX3401]

seymour duncan picks??

[zaibuf]

Really good for one year, but work on those vibratos :)

[FallenQuiet]

I love how your vids are short, and yet so awesome... at 0:40 dude you got some gnarly shit goin on... How long you been playin for?

[iberko]

@FallenQuiet thanks man. when i recorded this solo, i had been playing for 1 year. i shot a bunch of videos to make a checkpoint in my progression. such solos took me 4-5 hours of practice a day throughout months to nail it, and this video was probably the 50th take that evening :S

[Bigboss1432Lol]

The first note made me think you were gonna play Megalomania from Black Sabbath, but still it was great.

[MrGuitarwrecker]

There any way i can get this backtrack?

[6691alexb]

Dude I have this same guitar, too bad its pretty crap lol keep up the good work!!!!!

[slitherlock]

was so bummed when it ended....wanted to hear more.

[tangypasta]

and here we witness the epidemic of the headless guitarist...

[Waltos]

I like it!

[kleinebudde]

Sounds awesome :D

[NicolasNicoca]

Grandiose!!

[megan9987]

This is amazing!

[TheGospelGuitarist]

That's got the makings for a great instrumental! Nice.

[Rockstar6111]

I am just starting to get into modes and i am memorizing the patterns decently but I don't know how to apply them, is there any info you could give me or help me figure out how certain modes can work in certain keys and why others wont? A chart for something like this would be helpful but I have yet to find one.

[bananeado]

This sound very GNR very very like me, good job

[DanPlaysGuitar14]

first note and i immediately thought -

Last Stop by Dave Matthews... then I realized that's over an F# Phrygian also.... lol

[triblent]

is that an 8 string guitar

[iberko]

@triblent only a 7-string. i'm not using the low B string here, though

[hardrockguuy]

Really beautiful solo ^_^

would be very great if you can create it longer =)

[94029374938402048]

needs moar weedly

[Stolanis]

@94029374938402048 Said like a true music-critic. ;)

[MacMancMcManx]

Absolutely brilliant. Create a longer track please :)

[iberko]

@MacMancMcManx thanks!

will do sometime in the future ;)

[METALLICA1668]

that was great man

did you use any of the phrygian harmonic minor in that?

[iberko]

@METALLICA1668 i think you meant harmonic minor scale and/or phrygian dominant scale. they are relative scales just as the (normal) minor scale and the (normal) phrygian scale, but compared to the normal ones they have the same rased note to create that "arabic" feel (in the case of B minor, this note would be an A#). however, in this video i used the minor scale (B) and its relative (normal) phrygian scale (F#).

[iberko]

@METALLICA1668 btw, if you check my channel, you'll find a vid called "Macedonian Style", in that one I play on the E phrygian dominant scale (relative scale of the A harmonic minor)

[jimdog1964]

Nice!

[TheFreeMusicChannelz]

how many strings does that guitar have

never seen a guitar like that

anyway sounds awesome

[iberko]

@TheFreeMusicChannelz it's a 7-string guitar with a low B bass string. i'm not using the extra string in this vid but that Schecter was my only axe at that time...

thanks man!

[abdnumber4]

Hey, good job man!

[dverbern]

Brilliant! Love your sound and your technique looks very economical.

[hellsweethell]

very cool done :) This is a nice scale to play some cool riffs and licks.

[CRFhonda13]

with this scale, is it just like the pentatonic.....if the riff is played in A would you play this scale in the key of A starting at the 5th fret?

[iberko]

well, the phrygian scale contains 7 different notes, while the pentatonic only 5 (penta is a Greek word which means "five" btw). here the second part of the solo is played in B minor, so if you wanted to play B minor pentatonic scale, you'd have to start from 7th fret and play the same box as the A minor pentatonic. Although there is such a scale as phrygian pentatonic, it's a different matter. For starters: the phrygian has 7 notes, and in this case these notes are: F#, G, A, B, C#, D and E.

[CRFhonda13]

Thanks for the help man! =)

[steviexILL]

i wish i had a credit card so i could learn all the cool stuff on the site :/

[CKDStudios]

wow one word for this, BEAST!

[iberko]

thanks! it's an old vid, but I like the solo anyway...

[LoveJerryHorton]

is it a schecter omen extreme?

then i got it

[iberko]

it is :) an omen 7 to be more precise

[finland500000]

nice job man..i definitely hear some petrucci in there

[crazy333man]

are their any bands who have this general sound? its amzing

[iberko]

hey thanks for the comment! not really bands but solo guitarists such as Kiko Loureiro (guitarist of Brazilian power metal band Angra) and maybe Jeff Loomis often blend scales this way. Here F#Phrygian is a relative mode of B minor which means they share the exact same notes but the intervals fall to different places (the phrygian scale starts with a minor second for example) and ofc the root note is different

[BoronganBata]

necrophagist, if you like death metal most of the solos are in phrygian/ harmonic minor

[Schectersareawsome]

ahh why such a bad rating!

5*'s

<3 phrygian scale

[ChrisGleckman]

That's a nice sounding scale

[qrutty]

keep rockando :P ;)

[ProgMikey]

Great playing! Although your right hand seemed in a little bit too much tension to me, it's still nice played dude.

Keep up the great work ;)

Also be sure to check out my solo! :)

Cheers, Mike.
