Always funny to me that the Byzantine scale is seen as evil knowing it's a scale used a lot in Greek orthodox religious chants

Also it's the scale used in the Dick Dale song "Misirlou" which most people know from Pulp Fiction.

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

I'm building a special mockingbird but it's crossed with another bc rich body shape a certain hard to tune guitar. To name it I have to change two letters. Carved the body from ash have the shape still 6in thick might be a archtop. To bad bc rich hasn't built anything for years

Right now, I feel charged with evil energy right to the brim: I'm not going to clean up the kitchen tonight, har, har, har - am I evil, or what? 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!
