I was learning by ear and don't quite understand what's happening there (after 4:30). The backing sounds easy enough. Em D C (all+4th) then B. Harmonic Em. Right? Melody part(very short) sounds like: Em leads to A, and D is not augmented D G, which has C# C#m F#, there we have A# So is it common to have harmonic backing, while solo with natural 7th and augmented 6th, and a blues Bb (Eminor)? Or is the melody part actually in Bm, then Bm harmonic? I tried to play C instead of C# which sounds plain wrong and that made me prefer the latter. Does this thought make sense? I never have anyone teaching me except my first a few lessons, so these may be nooby questions  Please feel free to tell me anything you think that can be helpful! Thanks. |

Here is a link to the tablature for that tune. I'm not familiar with it after watching the vid. Let me know if this helps

Hey Viaxl, awesome to see you on the forum!
You are referring to the 1:32 section, right? https://youtu.be/Bw3hHX5nsdI?t=1m32s Let's wait for our metal guru Gabriel will chime in to give us some advice! |

Hi Viaxl, I assume that you are talking about the neoclassical style cadence happening at 4:32, don't you?
There, the chord progression is inspired on barroque/classical music and also reminds me to Yngwie Malmsteen and all the power metal bands that his work influenced. The progression is in Bm but includes a minor variation very used in metal but also in pop and rock music. The fifth chord of the tonality is played Major instead of minor, and this little change makes the soloist switch to B harmonic minor scale at that moment. That's what is sounding in this section. There can be neighbor notes here and there to make this sound more unique, and more "death" metal, but the overall idea is this minor variation concept. Let me know if it's clear! -------------------- My lessons

I've mentioned it's the 4:30 part Gabriel did come in to save the world!

That shined a bit of sunshine into my dry well(wat). So the solo is indeed in Bm. But is the backing in harmonic Em? Because that makes more sense to me (typical i-VII-VI then V). Also would you please list the chord progression of the melody part? If it's not too much trouble. I've been always having trouble analyzing these.

About the melody part, please let me know the section in minutes that is giving problems...

QUOTE (Viaxl @ Sep 28 2015, 02:49 PM) Sorry man if I didn't make it clear. I mean, is the Rhythm guitar playing in Em => harmonic Em while Lead guitar playing in Bm => harmonic Bm? No, everything is in Bm and then harmonic minor. The fact that the progression starts with Em doesn't mean that it's in Em, it's in Bm. -------------------- My lessons
