Wow...you have incredible chops, my friend! I'm impressed that you've learned the solo so quickly and mastered it identically! The Amott brothers are not to be reckoned with lightly, they certainly know their share of metal scales and how to incorporate them perfect. Although, I'm not sure about the C Minor being the last scale. Do you know what the root note of the solo is? Because it looks like you had a flatted second, which would imply Phrygian or Phrygian Dominant.

@moviemaker3000

hey thanks man for your support,finally some nice guys here on youtube :)

well about that scale,its not c minor,i don't know how it is called that's why i said that it is based on c minor (some notes removed,bad theory knowledge blah),i was searching quite long to find out what scale that is because it's my personal favorite one,but no luck..

[moviemaker3000]

@blizzardvekic he is using a D Phrygian Dominant Scale, which is essentially a D Minor scale with a flat 2nd and a raised 3rd.  When he does that run at the end of the solo, however, he chooses only the notes in this scale that are one half step apart from each other, and then skips through each group of these. So, it isn't an arpeggio, but just a common run that sounds really good. Do you catch my drift?

@moviemaker3000

yes,i get it,but ...can i send you gp tab with the notes from this scale because i can't express myself properly through words :D ?

[moviemaker3000]

@blizzardvekic I don't have Guitar Pro, but what is it that you want to show me by sending me this tab?

[blizzardvekic]

@moviemaker3000

nevermind

I haven't commented on anything in over a year - to emphasize my enthusiasm:

direct and efficient approach:playing slow shows you understand;

LOVE the text on screen info, actual guitarist will have a 5 min lesson on same length portion just talking about it you simply have to say the key the rest you can hear!

Great job! Love your concise approach!

@blizzardvekic Aight.

[moviemaker3000]

@blizzardvekic Absolutely, my friend! It is my pleasure to give support to those who deserve it! Last night, I spent some extensive time looking up a few things, and I have figured out exactly what is going on in each part of this solo. The part that is your personal favorite (the end) also happens to be my favorite part. I'll try to explain what it is in a separate post as to avoid overloading this one:

@moviemaker3000 The longest a solo has taken me to learn is necrophagist "fermented offal discharge", it took me around an hour to perfect it.

Most solo's take me no more than 10-15 minutes to learn by tab. I can learn by ear but it simply takes double the time learning by tabs does.

I don't care how amazing anyone thinks they are by learning by ear.

I listen to the song to learn the timing and the rhythm, I look at the tabs simply as a quicker way to learn the frets to play.

good day :)

@sorcor2 Hello. I think I've figured out the scale here. He is indeed using a major third, which is not present in a harmonic minor scale. Therefore, he is using a mode of the harmonic minor scale called Phrygian Dominant. It is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale, and is constructed by using a Phrygian scale with a raised third.
