Exotic Scales - Verdis Enigmatic Descending

Hi GMC! Welcome to the tenth Exotic Scale of this series. Now we are going to explore the Verdi's Enigmatic Descending scale. As in the previous lessons you know that this lesson will be about the chord progression and the modes positions in one octave.

This lesson has a particular way of playing the rhythm guitar. We are going to play almost all the notes with palm mute (the exception is the last note of every measure). Also this lesson is the first one of this series where I use a little drive to make the palm mute technique more effective.

I hope you enjoy the lesson!

Here is the chord progression: C7(#5b9)- A#m7- Db7(#9)-Caug/G#- Fm maj7- E6- C7(#5b9).
