Speed metal riffing lesson
Here is a follow-up on the last riff lesson from Pavel. This one gives me Megadeth vibes. Even though the topic of this lesson might seem frightening to the beginner - the basic rhythm of this riff is something any guitarist should be able get down. Lots of fun for everyone - in other words!  Make sure to spend some time jamming around - once you have got the basics down! Kris |

@Why: there is no recipe of creating riffs and songs, i can only give you tips on chords and scales - the rest is your imagination. If you learn this riff you'll notice how i incorporate scales and chords. it will also help you if you listen to speed-metal music, or power-metal bands. The more music and styles you get familiar with - the easier it will be for you to get into composing. Creating riffs is just like improvising a solo. Improvising is improved by constantly playing around with scales - so is riff-writing, you jut have to add chord progression and rhytm pattern. @Ibanez_player: As you said - it is a mode of MINOR, but - if you replace the minor chord with a MAJOR chord than you get the PHRYGIAN MAJOR. Vinnie Moore has great lesson about modes, and that is where it is mentioned. If you play phrygian with MAJOR it sounds much more egyptian - i like that sound. Also it will be much easier to use Phrygian scales if you simply learn the pattern of it, than you won't have to count modes and notes every time. Here is the text copied from Wikipedia: "If the third note is augmented back to its major scale value, a Phrygian dominant scale, also known as Phrygian major and Jewish Scale results." - so Phrygian Major and Phrygian Dominant are actually the same scales!
