Perhaps someone has a cool trick they would like to share demonstrating a cool scale? I would like too see some new techniques pop up!
What exotic scales are popular in metal music nowadays?
I am wondering what scales are hot now for cool riffs, and new tricks. You know, cutting edge sounds that are starting to pop up in hard rock, and metal music these days?

Nice selection of exotic scales on www.sultanofstring.com (click on lessons)
If you like Marty Friedman then you will like Dan Keller - very famliiar style (not as fast or aggressive though). I've added most of those scales to my own repertoire now and they are making a huge difference to the way I play.

Check out the modes of the harmonic minor.... I quite like 'Phrygian Dominant'...
I tend to go for the Kotzen approach with this stuff... I'll play what I want to play, and if I ever get famous I'll figure out what scale it was for the geeks! :D

I like your taste in styles Dave, I will look into your advice. Im looking forward to hearing some of your new riffs, amazing stuff so far!
Yea, ren the Pyrygian Dominant does have a cool sound about it. Once you get the hang of hitting that raised third, (or augmented 7th HM) every where along the scale it starts to have a nice ring to it! Your right, finding just the right note to raise, or lower in the Key can turn out some slick riffs.
Thanks, good info :cool:

The Phrygian Dominant has a great sound.
Also- Lydian Augmented- 1 2 3 #4 #5 6 7 and the
Mixolydian b6(5th Mode in Melodic Minor).

I have a Phrygian Dominant tutorial you'll dig. http://lessons.mikedodge.com/lessons/PhryDom/PhryDomTOC.htm
The examples are on acoustic. But grab a couple of these licks and crank up the electric and you'll be screamin'.
Enjoy!

If a player is well versed in diatonic tonality applying raised thirds to his/or her key pattern practices can add a new twist to the same old tones ,(and I advise slowly moving thru out the entire neck, up/down, left/right memorizing the scale patterns as best as possible from top to bottom!)
Many master axman dabble with Phrygian dominant type scales, and there allways an interesting take to basic Diatonic wizardry.
I allways preach first making sure you have a working knowledge off the diatonic scale key patterns in at least one key for starters. The scale patterns are the same in all keys, so its not so hard once you commit. In my opinion there is not many more improtant things that are a NEED to know for the progression to virtuosity, and the freedom to cirumnavigate two octaves in a controlled fashion, (as apposed to frustration, and burn out from lack of guidance, and understanding,(and some cases effort)

i've recenttly gotten into foreign scales. Like the Kumoi and the Iwato (japanese). The kumoi in the key of E : E, F, A, B, C. The Iwato in the key of E : E, F, A, A#. They are both very interesting and add a kool effect to your song. Also they are both very simple and very easy to play!
