Hi Gabriel !

Ok mate! Based on your goals, I think that we can base the first part of this work on a Thrash Metal course that I designed some time ago for some special Vchat sessions.

The program looks like this:

Gabriel's Thrash Metal Course:

Part 1 - Tonalities & Scales

Part 2 - Rhythms & Techniques

Part 3 - Structures & Arrangements

Part 4 - Creating a song



Are you in? smile.gif

Excellent! We will start with the first part: Tonalities & Scales.

Do you have any suspect about which are the most used tonalities and scales in Thrash Metal?

Perfect! Learn the Phrygian mode which is the most used mode, after Aeolian, in Thrash Metal Style.

This is a very complete thread to master it: LINK


You can also use these two lessons to learn licks and to practice the scale over the backing tracks:

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/phrygi...g-intermediate/


Please check all this stuff and let me know what you think and if you have questions! wink.gif

Great! Some tips and ideas for new scales:

- Record yourself: It's very useful to record your guitar jams and practice to be able to listen it after your practice to check what things you should improve. It's difficult to listen to our playing while we are practicing because we need our attention on other things like right hand movement, left hand movement, timing, the notes you have to play, etc... It's also good to monitor your progress and be able to compare your playing with your own playing the previous day, week, month or year.

- Practice over chords, progressions and backing track to see how the notes of a scale sound in a musical context. This is much more helpful and effective than playing the scale without it.

- Learn licks from a solo or lesson using that scale, analyze them and the chords sounding in the backing, play them, and create variations. Write down or record your favorites and start your own library of licks.

Excellent! This lesson is also a good complement for mastering the scale, and gives you great ideas for arranging and improvising: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/phrygi...ed-with-triads/


Let's explore Harmonic minor scale now! Here you have a good article about it, where you'll find all the theory behind it.

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=49966

This is a good lesson for reference and to use the backing: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...-for-beginners/

Hi Dalbor! thanks for your update and congrats on your hard work. I would really like to hear some samples from you playing. Marty Friedman is an amazing guitarist, very personal, very unique. He uses obviously a lot of harmonic minor as well as other modes and oriental scales. He has some really cool techniques and improvisation tricks that makes him sound even more exotic. We can analyze his style then!

Are you going to bring your guitar during the vacation?

I couldnt take guitar with me :C , Ill be home at 18 th August. I can wait to play , 2 weeks without guitar makes me sad. I reallly wanted to look at some Paul Gilbert licks , he is totally awesome guitar player.

Also i have question :

I want to take a part in really small guitar contest in my town. Goal is to cover a song . Tuning for it is Drop B. I want to write some harmonic and solos for it. I looked at scale generator and of course all scales all transformed by standard tuining. How can i find scales already transformed to B drop ?

Well, this is tricky because you have to relearn the scales, mostly what happens with the 6th string that it's the one that is different. if you visualize the caged system but having in mind that now that the open chords have different names there shouldn't be a problem. But of course, you need practice.

This is how the caged system looks in drop D:

You should use the same shapes but transpose it to drop B.

Now D is B, so everything is a minor third down.
