[clintstrehl631]

Uhh... This is E minor

[PetrucciJunior4]

This is in E minor, not E.

[schwaim1995]

Did a couple licks with pinch harmonics made some sweet, sweet noise

[adam10603]

[daytonohiofellowship]

why don't creamer take responses? I have tried on other Videos and NOTHING. They are good to see how other players play these tracks out. I seen a few that the channel has accepted but dunno, maybe they do not have the time.

[TheVickers123]

This sounds very much like The Jack by AC/DC

[Theslydonkey]

@TheVickers123

same key i belive

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

@TheVickers123 because the jack is a classic blues track...

[machiavellitdk]

[jciljciljcil]

More tremelo!

[ledzeppelin2468]

I'm feelin it brother!

[skitzosidal]

using open e sounds great. thanks.

[RLuteran]

you can use E major pentatonic- E minor pentatonic- B minor Pentatonic- F# minor Pentatonic- E minor- E major- E mixalydian. these are my norm for a simple blues vamp

[slash646]

vai?

[HitaroX]

@slash646 yes

[shague22]

its a and b

[samgc14]

Thx uploader for the HQ tracks

[RsGhost1]

I think the shuffle can be both Major and minor since it's not a chord it all depends on what kind of sound you want. Minor will sound very hardrocky where as major will sound more rock 'n rolly I guess ^^

[o0SaltyBat0o]

I guess you guessed wrong.

[RsGhost1]

Why?

[MetalBlare]

So Cool !!!

[imperial300]

this is cool, baby

[CreamerMusic]

Someone tell me if the key isn't right. Thanks.

[Sifis0308]

It is in E but its major.

[kpgpwi64]

@Sifis0308 it's undefined it can be major or minor

[brownbigb]

it's in B. the rhythm guitar is chorused a lot, which maked the tonal center really weak. it's in Bmajor.

[opilus]

Just to settle this thing bout the key, its E, but you can play both E major and minor pentatonic over the top cos they're using dominant 7th chords. If your feeling a little more exotic, use an Emixolydian which is just an E major scale but with the 7th note lowered a semi-tone (from D# to D) which will compliment the dominant feel.. hope this helps....( BTW - Bmajor wud be out of key but you can use a Bminor scale as long as you focus on the E note as the root, this would give a Dorian sound)

[brownbigb]

@opilus that is not dealing with the issue of key, but with what scales can be played over it.

[opilus]

the first thing i said is 'its E'!! lol then i went on to mention the scales that could be used including E Mixolydian.. this is because the implied chords are dominant chords.. the last part of the comment was relating to the confusion over the Bmajor scale you mentioned, i was simply stating that due to fact that this is a I-IV-V in E, the Bmajor would be out of key but Bminor would be in key, this because when playing a Bminor scale over an E, your actually playing a dorian mode (E dorian)

[kpgpwi64]

@brownbigb dude play a b major scale over it. it doesn't sound right at all it is in the key of e using a 1 4 5 chord progression 1-E the root, 4- A and the 5th- B. it's in E

[brownbigb]

@CreamerMusic it isn't. it's in b

[emmallica]

@CreamerMusic it is right maybe you're just in another tone

[kpgpwi64]

@CreamerMusic the key is right, people are just stupid

[Martiborja]

@CreamerMusic

It's right

[TheGodlessGuitarist]

@Martiborja

if you want to try something a bit wacky try E Mixolydian b6, A Lydian Dominant (Lydian b7), B Phrygian Dominant (Phrygian #3). Each to be played over the respective bass parts E, A and B.

:)

[TheGodlessGuitarist]

@Martiborja

Oooo, here is a sweet one for you to try; C# half diminished pentatonic (C#m pentatonic with a flattened 5th)

[Dazzerx]

@TheGodlessGuitarist

That's the blues scale....

[TheGodlessGuitarist]

@CreamerMusic

E dorian or Em pentatonic are your best bets.

[ecgedsel]

@CreamerMusic its isnt right....its perfect :))

[xxguitarhero48xx]

@CreamerMusic it's E. unless my absolute pitch is off after last night... haha

[jackwontknow1]

@CreamerMusic its in E, dont worry

[pablorazorback1]

@CreamerMusic Is in E not in E minor, try to play it in D minor

[lespaulzrule]

@CreamerMusic , it's definitely in E mate.

[i0like0water]

@CreamerMusic its quite right man, E

[theweekendgetaway]

@CreamerMusic i believe its Em not major
