      I mean, when you think about it, metal is basically just blues, but with the energy cranked up to 11. Lots of rock and metal sorta stuff comes from blues, most notably the use of copious amounts of distortion

    Scott another good one man. I think you'll really explode by putting this educational stuff out there. Maybe some metal analysis, but the more educational it gets, the more people dig it. I like the format, too. Very hard to misinterpret. Most people show you a scale 80000 times like there's no pause button or something. lol

    Great vid as always, and I'd like to throw in a few questions:
    As for the chords: say, I want to go all hungarian (because who wouldn't?) in the root of A - so I take the set of notes starting from A, and go wild building powerchords with them and Sus4-chords? Any guidelines for a proper start if you wanna get evil? Thanks a lot!
