    Here is a riff that uses the double harmonic major scale. Here are the degrees: 1 b2 3 #4 5 b6 7.
    It is called double harmonic because it has two augmented seconds and it is also called major because if you harmonize the scale, the I chord is Maj7.
    I guess, by that logic you can come up with things like a double harmonic dominant scale or a double harmonic minor scale.

      I always hated when people say that theory or skill "rUiNs tHe fEeLiNg" of the music. Even though I'm not classically trained and the last time I did theory was when I was 17 - I always knew that theory always helps to unlock a new stage in creativity.
      I like to think of it in the same way when you're speaking in any language. The more words you know, the more you're able to express yourself in ways that's creative, insightful and passionate without getting repetitive.

      @@tusharjamwal that might be strange on the guitar because of the way that it is visually built. On the piano, it'd really be a small change from harmonic minor. Vocally it'd really mess with me though, because you would be having to reprogram some spacial habits that you develop from tons of repetitive motion. It's hard to visualize a change like that without just cramming it into your head scales.

    when you don't know music theory n try to sound "like a metal guitarist" i think double harmonic is where ears naturally go. or at least its where mine naturally goes. its such a distinct sound & is a scale that possibly even moreso than others (if that is even possible) emphasizes the overtone series making it perfect for holding notes since the resonances combine very nicely

      @uroboric Před rokem +2

      @@GnildnewOfficial The basis is the major scale, which is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. To play this on the guitar I would recommend the 3 note per string pattern. Let's say you want to play the A major scale. You start on the root (A) which is for example on the 5th fret of the low E string. The pattern then goes:
      E string: 5 7 9
      A string: 5 7 9
      D string: 6 (the 7th fret would be the root note A again, so the same note as on the 5th fret of the E string)
      The numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 just describe the note of the scale you just played. So 1 = 5th fret E string; 2 = 7th fret E string; 3 = 9th fret E string etc.
      The sharps # tell you that the note is moved up one fret and the flats b tell you that the note is moved down one fret. The basis is still the pattern of major scale and you just move the notes according to the sharps and flats.
      So if I wanted to play the scale 1 b2 b3 #4 5 b6 #7 in A the pattern would be:
      E string: 5 6 8
      A string: 6 7 8
      D string: 6 (and the root again on the 7th fret)
      A common way to build a riff out of a scale which is often done in death metal or metalcore is to play the scale starting on the 7th fret of the A string. This is the same note as your open E string. The pattern stays the same, it just moved down a string and starting on the 7th fret. Now you can downpick on the open E and play notes of the scale inbetween. That's also what he often does in the video.
