Great riffing Muris, great use of Lydian ![]()
steve252nd June 2008Isn't sharp 4th and flat 5th the same? The flat 5th of E is A# as its 5th is a B?
Danilo Capezzuto2nd June 2008Nice lesson and riff!
Muris Varajic2nd June 2008Thanks guys!!!
Steve,I was trying to explain that in text,
those 2 notes sounds just the same
but when you write it in notation
it's totally different thing.
And in Lydian we have sharp 4th
and perfect 5th as degrees inside. ![]()
chast2nd June 2008Sounds awesome
Reminds me of Petrucci ![]()

I love it man
Nemanja Filipovic2nd June 2008Great lesson Muris.![]()
Jad Diab2nd June 2008By the way, I've forgotten to ask a question : Bb and A# are the same note (same sound) so what are the difference, when do we call it a A# and when do we call it a Bb ?
Thx man
Thanks sooo much Muris, I love the Lydian mode!!!
Zsolt Galambos2nd June 2008Now this is awesome!
I really like the sound of it, the Lydian scale always reminds me of Satriani!
Toni Suominen2nd June 2008Great lesson Muris! ![]()
TreyDeschamp2nd June 2008This mad the hair on my arms stand up it sounds so good!
Nick3252nd June 2008nice riffage muris ![]()
Muris Varajic2nd June 2008Thanks guys ![]()
ZiZi ,
you have to dive a bit more into theory,
specially into diatonic world as Lydian is
another diatonic scale.
So,main notes are C D E F G A and B
Notice that 4th from E is A
and 5th from E is B.
Notes in E Lydian are:
E,F#,G#,A#,B,C# and D#.
E-A# = sharp 4th
E-B = perfect 5th
E- Bb = that would be flat 5th tho.
Hisham Al-Sanea2nd June 2008great riff Muris.wonderful bro
Pi382nd June 2008Oh, man, this is just my style. Muris, I've got to say, lately your lessons have been especially awesome. I mean, your lessons are always great, but as of late, you've really stepped it up. ![]()

Praetorian3rd June 2008How the heck do you get that Zakk Wylde sound F# at 19 seconds on the video...I can't duplicate it!!
Nick Kellie3rd June 2008very enjoyable!
Muris Varajic3rd June 2008Thanks Nick. ![]()
Praetorian,it's just pinched harmonic,
of course it requires hi-gain
and a bit more highs in EQ.
Lian Gerbino3rd June 2008really good, u r awesome muris!
Gabriel Leopardi4th June 2008wou! those are really fresh riffs! excelent stuff! Thanks Muris!
Sergio Dorado4th June 2008Awesome riffs, I really like this style. It sounds metal progresive.
Sentenced1st October 2008Muris could you please post your presets on this one if possible? It sounds just really metal ![]()
Muris Varajic1st October 2008I wish I could remember the settings. ![]()
But it's probably something similar to this:
SGL > HUM 10.0
US HI-G Gain 6.3 Bass 2.0 Middle 0.7 Treble 5.0
JAZ 1x15 8.0
No Mod Effx
PPDLY3 5.3
PLATE 1 1.7
Sentenced1st October 2008Muris thank you very much for your fast answer. I will try them out.
Muris Varajic1st October 2008No problem. ![]()
JamesT4th October 2008Hey Muris, when you do that slide in the beginning, do you slide to a particular fret?
Looks and sounds like you slide up on the e string, and then back down on the a string. I like the way you scrape the pick on the start of the downslide. :-)
Muris Varajic4th October 2008Hi ![]()
This slide+scrap is typical add-on and I slide up to random fret,above 12th.








Lydian mode is almost the same thing as major scale/ionian mode. The only difference is sharp 4th in Lydian mode. This lesson is riffing only, using downstrokes only most of the time to get that powerful metal like sound.
