Kristofer Dahl22nd September 2009Beautiful Ivan - hard rocking and very tasty chromatics! Gave me Steve Morse vibes ( I love Mr Morse)
Jonathan Burgos22nd September 2009Yeah man! god job. ![]()
TheOldOnes22nd September 2009I love it! That said, I have tried putting chromatic scales into some of improvisations but they rarely seem to work out well. I also note that the use of chromatic notes seem to be interesting choices for very fast paced licks. Is there any rules or ideas about using chromatics in slower paced licks?
Pedja Simovic22nd September 2009Cool lesson Ivan, very nice application of chromatic scale.
Bondy22nd September 2009Cool lesson Mihal as always
PS hows the mixing of the album coming on.
Berglmir22nd September 2009I like the lesson - Thanks for that!
A noob question though: Why are chromatics called "scales"?! I don´t see ANY patters in them - so "using" them would just mean (to me) to play whatever note there is - wrong?! ;-)

Gabriel Leopardi23rd September 2009Amazing licks! I can hear Petrucci style there but it's because Morse influenced him a lot! I like both of them! Great job!

The chromatic scale is a 12 note scale consisting entirely of half-step intervals. It contains all the notes you can find on the guitar neck.
Most guitar players use some chromatic exercises as a warmup or a technique building tool at some point, but don't really know how to apply the chromatic scale to a musical idea.
In this lesson we're combining the chromatic scale with E minor pentatonic, E dorian and E blues scale. We're just adding some chromatic passing notes to give the licks a little bit different flavor.
