*Shred mode, ACTIVATED!*

@gregmerritt9366 5 лет назад

Nik Nocturnal \m/ A video explaining the difference between modes and scales would be hugely appreciated. I was suprised to discover, through your examples, that I lean towards different modes while jamming than I first thought. Leads me to think that my idea of modes being a way to compartmentalize scales might be inaccurate.

@michaelhamer6841 3 года назад

That was The Scnitzel my man! I’ve been looking for ways that Locrian is used since most people disrespect it who don’t understand metal. Solos with a flat fifth are just diabolical AF when played over power chords (non-stop perfect fifths). Yours was fantastic! Anyway the song The Evil has Landed by Testament, how much of that is played with Locrian? Certainly the verses right?

@nicmac9804 4 года назад

Double Harmonic Major is my favorite. It's just major (Ionian) but with two augmented seconds, (like the one in harmonic minor, hence the name harmonic). It sounds like Phrygian dominant but better in my opinion. It's like a dissonance that never truly resolves but is pleasant enough that it isn't unusable like Locrian usually is.

@cool_sword 5 лет назад

Modes are simple enough that you don't need a metaphor to learn what they are at a basic level. Your major scale is WWHWWWH Where W is a whole interval and H is a half interval. Major scale is the ionian mode, or the first mode if you aren't a dumb nerd. If you "shift" sequence, you get a mode. WHWWWHW For example is another mode, Dorian. Notice it's just the major scale "shifted" to the left. You can figure out the rest.

I think Aeolian is the best if you have to stay in one mode. If you can mix, in metal I think minor pentatonic, mixolydian, and locrian then transitioning into aeolian for some emotion is my favorite. Phrygian is cool too but it gets overused imo.

You're right Phrygian is starting to be very overdone. It will end up like the minor blues scale during the 90s.
