  • @MisterMouthy stfu and go kill ur self :-)

  • I think it can just be called D harmonic minor in this case. It's all related to the key of D minor. It's kinda like a D minor blues. Yes, A Phrygian Dominant and D Harmonic Minor are the same, but as far as analyzing goes, it's all in the key of D minor, and you raise the flat 7th by a half step on the V chord.

  • is phrygian dominant the same as phrygian major?

  • @Podarias Yes.Dominant means b7 and major 3

  • which guitar is that? fantastic sound

  • @Taldegardo92 it's a Tom Anderson tele copy. kinda in the same class of guitars as Vigier and Suhr; all-round, exclusive, high-grade guitars.

  • @DennChooch sincere thanks

  • @Taldegardo92 It's a Tom Anderson with P90 pickups.

  • @Taldegardo92 oops, sorry i just realised that DennChooch replied too!

  • Wow what knowledge.

  • @ryancrl

    While Dave is bright in general, this is not anything special. Basic stuff. Especially if you're into oriental music, where this scale is called Hijaz, or in Flamenco this is so frequently used

  • @Horbrus i saw him night before last, and you couldnt be more wrong, sorry mate, but i found that he was a nice guy

  • is he really lennys brother?? i never thought about it!

  • Why the hell does he look like Lemmy?

  • @aligatorsandwitch72 Look at his last name.

  • @SidVicious10101 haha no this guy it dave kilmiNster lemmy's last name is kilmister, no N

  • Actually, If you notice, He's using the A Phrygian as an ascending arpeggio on the 6th staccat...as you can obviously tell, I sadly don't know crap about music theory :(

  • Interesting. The thing is although the D Harmonic Minor and A Phrygian Major have the same notes, they are in a different order and should result in a different mood. Just like the major scale has various moods or modes depending on where the start and end note are.

  • @snouter I can just see you sharing this with the pub landlord on a saturday night. Boy, those winter evenings must fly! :-))

  • Anybody who plays A phygian dominant rather than just D harmonic minor over the A7 is making life very difficult for themselves for no reason.

  • @thesethreekings melodic & harmonic theory is a well as deep as you want it to be

  • @shearn666 ...and when people plunge in their playing becomes soulless. Even the ability to appreciate guitar players who play with soul is lost. Show me a guitar player who thinks about scales everytime he picks up the instrument or watches another guitar player play and I'll show you a guy who has been ruined. Here's a few concepts to mentally masturbate over, tone, vibrato, melody. They don't teach this stuff in school.

  • @fukinblowme I teach that stuff at school.

  • @thesethreekings I never hear it in schooled players. I hear/see a bunch of cerebral guitar player types trying to impress other scale obsessed guitar players with how many scales they know. Theory has ruined more talented musicians than it has helped. It has it's uses in writing, but when it comes to playing a lead, just knowing what key ur in should be enough. From there it's about playing hooks (i.e. things people will remember) and lyrical melodies. Less is certainly more.

  • @fukinblowme so what would you do when you come to improvise over a jazz standard that or a piece that modulates frequently? Just wing it? good luck. Scales give you the option to access a certain sound at any time. The truly remarkable guitarists in the world know scales that well that they don't HAVE to think about them, they just know them inside out. Go listen to some James Muller, Allen Hinds, Robben Ford and Larry Carlton then say guys who know theory have no soul/tone or melody.

  • @gretsch19 See, your comment actually proves my point.You've claimed that the truly remarkable gtrists in the world know scales so well that they don't HAVE to think about them.That's an elitest comment and it reflects a closed mind.Clearly you're of the belief that ppl who use scales are superior.When you listen to a gtr player play at this point ur looking for scale information. You've been programmed into this mindset of analyzing scales and the chord progression that's being soloed over.

  • @gretsch Cont'd2: I don't mean to be critical of other gtr players. I just think it's a shame when ppl who are passionate about music and often times talented as well get the sort of tunnel vision that goes along with learning theory.Yngwie Malmsteen once refered to Clapton's playing as consisting of boring pentatonics. That's just not getting it. It's so much harder to get more out of one note and pour your heart and soul into it or play a lyrical melody than it is to cram scales into measures.

  • @gretsch contd3: I could point to two examples of gtr players that few if any on this page would ever care to appreciate (Scott Gorham and Jeff Carlisi). Simply bc they don't use anything more than the major scales and virtually every solo they've ever done is in E or A. Because most talented guitar players have an interest in either overdoing the shredding thing and/or using theory, their approach is one that I've only heard used by 4-5 guitarists the world over. Music schools churn out robots.

  • @fukinblowme

    "It's so much harder to get more out of one note and pour your heart and soul into it or play a lyrical melody than it is to cram scales into measures."

    Same old tired cliches. In truth, the most important part of becoming a musician is training your ears. Phrasing/feel comes out of an advanced understanding of rhythm. Scales are tools designed to help make sense of harmony. Rhythm, harmony and melody are all important, if you focus on one, you miss the bigger picture.

  • @blahdelablah very well put man, bang on :D

  • @MikleShnikle

    Thanks. : )

  • @fukinblowme Okay not ALL of the worlds best guitarists know their scales, but i can say the same for you, by dismissing guitar players that actually bother to learn theory you're missing out on some amazing musicians. once again, go listen to the guitarists i mentioned and tell me they aren't original, don't have soul, feel or tone. Your attitude is just as closed minded as the attitude you think I have. Although i do totally appreciate any musician who is good at what they do and enjoys it.

  • @fukinblowme I was merely pointing out the example of playing over a jazz standard. If someone tries to play over giant steps, without knowing any scales, they will sound bad, Scales and arpeggios ENABLE you to create lyrical and interesting melodies. As I said, players who can learn all their theory and internalize it to a point of not having think about it are truly incredible and can create any melody they hear in their head. To me that's the idea. Having total control over your instrument.

  • @thesethreekings yes, that's how nazi germany started.

  • @thesethreekings Ah, ah, ah :) Yeah... excellent! ;)

  • is he playing A harmonic minor over a Dm chord?

    sorry but I just cant get it, audio is not that good, i know the scale hes playing but i dont know its name.

  • @svidrigajlov It's D harmonic minor over the A7. Just D minor over the Dminor chord, as well as over the Gm, only with some Gm arpeggios here and there.

  • Bristol's answer to Snake Sabo.

  • oh yeah...

    I heard latin in there....

  • that's the real good teaching..

    some other people just teach licks wich is ok if you are a fan and you only like to see how the lick is done...but if you are a starting musician you need to learn how harmony is made and wich modes sound good over the diffrent chords.

  • prjctcivillian. the chords are Dm, Gm7 and A7

  • oh yeah...I met him two months ago and he is just brilliant!

  • Fantastic guitar player, and an all round nice guy too

  • hey i download some of his lessons from Guitar Techniques mag - great stuff!

  • Dude, you rock!

  • what are those chords?

  • Is it an Anderson Cobra Special?

  • Nice. What guitar model is that?

  • Its a Tom Anderson T classic. Expensive, weapon of choice of the pros.

  • Top info!
