Neal shares his two favorite positions for using the pedal point technique in a solo or as a musical theme. First open string example uses dorian mode, the second uses harmonic minor.

@BruilRok Oh ok that makes a lot of sense now, thanks

[BruilRok]

@iluvs2sk8 Theres a pedal tone after the main riff in sweet child o mine. but no the main riff is not a pedal tone. "46 & 2" by tool uses a TON of pedals. "Spiders" by soad etc...

[forte219]

Oh yea and why has NO ONE said Unholy Confessions?

[forte219]

Or in other words... Intervals ^_^

[iluvs2sk8]

so would the sweet child o mine riff be an example of one of these?

[Drockvashon]

Last Resort by Papa Roach would be a perfect example for this

[TheTrickedBag]

what kind of amp are you using?

[Huqe]

The Devil approves you, my apprentice

[TheFireball100]
