@CMM53005 жыл бұрын
MetalRiderPlasma which? Japanese? I forget all the names hirjoshi? Just research exotic scales. Japanese, Chinese, Marty Friedman. That's how I learned them. Check out Rick Beato for advanced scales and theory. He has a lesson explaining scales and modes from dark to light. Scott listed plenty of dark scales. Some of us was just trying to add to his lesson. Basically the more tones you are away from straight major (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) the darker it will sound. So 1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,b7 should be the darkest scale. Super locrian I think. Or 1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,bb7 is a dark exotic. There are a whole lot of scales and modes. I study the guitar grimwoire scales and modes. It has EVERYTHING in it. One book. Well worth the money. Now days you can just Google and get scale diagrams for anything you want. Hope this helps. Good luck!
