Seriously i wonder how people stumble on those different scales you can create by playing one shape in a different key over some complete other chord. Do they literally pick a scale and work out all the intervals according to every god damn possible root note, seeing if it creates a shortcut to another scale sound? as much as i love the idea, i would hate having to work it all out.
It really comes down understanding key signatures. In any major key there are 3 minor pentatonics that can be used and you will stay in key. They start on the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th note of the major scale. In the case of E Major they would be F#m, G#m, and C#m. Additionally there are 2 additional minor pentatonics that will take you into modal sounds when used over a major chord. They start on the 5th and 7th notes of the major scale. Again with the key of E they would be Bm, which will give you an E Mixolydian sound, and D# (or Eb) which will give you an E Lydian sound. It can seem a little complicated and math-like because it is. Ultimately it's all about understanding the major scale.
Wow thanks. So what you're saying is that instead of learning entire modal shapes, you just have to work out the "pentatonic" notes in a mode and then you can play simply a major or minor pentatonic scale with a certain root note to achieve modal sounds easier?
I always encourage my students to learn the mode shapes thoroughly, but using the pentatonic shapes can definately be a doorway to making modal sounds easier.
its called spalted maple, its hard to get it in production guitars from mayor brands because its not as common as flamed maple or quilted maple, but certain manufacturers such as carvin or halo guitars offer it as an option in their custom shops, for example
This is great stuff! A few minutes of learning Dave's soloing theories adds so many useful ideas to my lead playing.
Beautiful guitar!
love the Death shirt
I'd love to see a video where dave just shredds for like 4 or 5 minutes....
It's called Revocation's live show.
+daniderscbfan i'd love to see him improing over a slow backing track
Now play *Tiptoe Through The Tulips* by *Tiny Tim*

Anybody know which exact model guitar he's playing? It's a warrior yeah? I just don't see any with that finish on their site.
SylvaticSubset Its a custom that he ordered. Notice how Jackson doesnt make a 7 string warrior
Well, now I feel well educated :D
Anyone know what that top wood is?? looks fantastic

Thought so, cheers
someone forgot to white balance and is now probably fired
That's the fix, isn't it?
