    I grew up in the 80s and these kind of riffs and melodies are ingrained in my brain forever. I always thought of them as easy to play until i learned on UA-cam in the past 10 years that the guys behind make up and silly clothes were actual guitar gods. All of them!

  • @PDXguitarfreak
    @PDXguitarfreak 4 роки тому +40

    Awesome - the intro, and lesson. The first solo I learned properly was for Ozzy's Flying High Again, with of course, the late great Randy Rhoads. I was learning music theory at the same time, and noticed he was doing this. It's right after the repeating blues lick that starts the solo, and then he goes (in the key of F# minor): 15, 14, 12 on the high E string, followed by 15, 13, 12 on the B string, followed by 15, 14, 12 on the G string, and then he continues descending for a bit with pentatonic/blues scale notes. That's one thing that I loved about learning Randy's stuff... his relatively formulaic approach made it very easy to see what scales he was using. It was fantastic for a newly soloing player because I could easily tie it back to the theory behind it (unlike my other early hero, Van Halen... Ed was all over the place LOL). Okay, thanks for letting me geek out... later, Robert! :)

    • @saintrhoads3375

  • @angusorvid8840
    @angusorvid8840 4 місяці тому +1

    I've definitely heard this scale a lot when I was playing in the 80s L.A. metal scene and used it myself. I didn't really think much about this hybrid scale at the time, but this is a good lesson that takes it apart. There were a lot of things we players picked up from each other in those days but didn't really think about. But it's good to think about it and see what's going on there because that way it can be used to greater effect. The reason so many players were using minor keys in those days was because it was an easy way to make a song more dramatic. A lot of songs would even start out in major keys then switch to minor for the solo just to add more drama.

    This scale exists inside the music theory, itself. It's an altered scale, and it's called Aeolian b5 or Locrian #2. It only ommits the Major 5th note.

    Having grown up in the 80's learning the licks of Rhoads, Lynch, Demartini, Jake E Lee & the rest - you really had to put in the woodshed time because there were so many "Iconic" (See how did that nod) players, that you really had to have your chops nice & sharp ready to shred metal shards of greasy-chewy melodic-rock swagger!!!
    Duder YOU are the king of "Greasy-chewy Melodic-Rock Swagger" brother! Your note choices & phrasing are always perfect & the tone YOU have that comes through your music is impeccable! We would've RULED the Strip back in '85 my young brother! Keep doing the good stuff!!!!!!!!!!🤘😁🤘
