    Artist: Shades of Black
    Song: Part 1: Aperto (0-1:36)
    Song: Part 2: Leviathan
    Album: 10 Fall
    This is a three part song i wrote which took a lot of time and effort composing. First, the traditional sounding yet modern flavor arabic part. Second, jumps straight into a metal piece using the same scale. The third part i did not put in due to the video's length already. If any questions or you feel like commenting feel free to do so, i would love to hear what you think.

    People use the "Egyptian scale" so much in metal, especially in solos, and it is a very recognizable and popular thing--it is so unfortunate that they don't trace it back to the source and find more music like this. Beautifully done. I wish I could convince my friend to write music too.

      @varunmummigatti1018 Před 5 lety +21

      Stephen Harvey it's because it's based on the scales like the Phrygian dominant, Egyptian and Byzantine scales which are very present in metal today. The feeling of tragedy, mystery, and power, and energy seem to come with these scales. Truly fascinating stuff.

    • @8393Robertrex
      @8393Robertrex Před 4 lety +3

      Classical spanish and arabic guitar all focus heavily on finger picking. Precision and long but fast riffs
      Its almost a one to one copy of what we see today in metal. Theres just a lot more strumming in the lead now, usually youd never strum in classical style.

      And before that the Arabs got the idea for the "kittara" (later became the guitar) from the Indian sitar. But Indian music was too peaceful so they introduced the element of mystery into it and then it went on to spain where the element of passion and flamenco evolved. Amazing how music evolves and changes as it goes. Truly music is like an everchanging river taking the elements it has collected with it. over time.
