What scale does Necrophagist write in?[views:13902][posts:56]_____________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 12:29pm - immortal13 ""] I can't find anything on it. I've found tabs to their songs (which are fucking hard to learn by the way), but it doesn't say anything about the scales. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 12:35pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Wait, are we under the impression that they just use one scale? I mean, I don't know that this isn't the case, but it seems weird. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 12:38pm - action hero ""] melodic minor, harmonic minor, minor, major arpeggios, minor arpeggios, arpeggios from hell, oh yea and====> DIMINISHED<=====. DUH good luck learning it, the leads are so fuckin tough. STABWOUND!!!!!!!!! (a lot better than the new stabwound song by some local band) teehee, that's a good song too though. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 12:39pm - action hero ""] ps, i want credit on the next song you write that is all necrophagist sounding. |

DUH good luck learning it, the leads are so fuckin tough. STABWOUND!!!!!!!!! (a lot better than the new stabwound song by some local band) teehee, that's a good song too though. I also know the scales are a neo-classical style thing. That's about it. Definitely keeping that stuff in mind. Thanks! |
| _________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:07pm - ZenErik ""] Mostly harmonic minor with diminished arpeggios. I'm not a big fan, but they do use a lot of neo-classical ideas. So, there's probably some IV, or V chords in minor, neopolitan chords...(flat major 2nd)... |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:09pm - action hero ""] learn the shit i was talkin about, you will find that it sounds neoclassical if you learn how. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:10pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] [img] LIKE DIS? |
| _________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:12pm - ZenErik ""] Yes. You'll find that there isn't a big difference in chords between Necrophagist and a lot of the more dissonant power/symphonic metal bands. Necrophagist will just probably use more diminished (and even more wanking). |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:41pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] [img] pick this up. it will aid in your shredding desires. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:43pm - dreadkill ""] they write in metalcore choruses scale |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 1:54pm - fleshfries ""] I'd focus on Harmonic Minor and Diminished for Necrophagist sounding stuff. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 2:22pm - archaeon ""] Muhammad doesn't use "scales" he just writes what sounds good. I've never really understood this "omg wut scale does iron maiden play in?" type questions. Doesn't really matter. Don't base your writing around scales or it'll come out shitty most of the time. Necrophagist does A LOT of minor 3rd harmonies A LOT. |

Necrophagist does A LOT of minor 3rd harmonies A LOT. Almost everyone writes around scales, whether they know it or not. And no, it doesn't come out shitty if you know music theory. As for writing in moving minor 3rd harmonies...That generally indicates DIMINISHED. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:47pm - action hero ""] since when does harmonizing in a minor 3rd indicate diminished? you can harmonize anything in thirds. and it's my theory that you should know theory but use it a way to explore your own way of playing. theory is a theory, and is not the only way you can play music. just don't suck. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:48pm - action hero ""] that said, archaeon is the best guitarist to have responded so far.... next to me obviously. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:50pm - Blue ""] no, but ive been working on getting my necrophagist scales down though. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:51pm - action hero ""] :ROCKON: |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:51pm - action hero ""] hahaha, necrophagist scale > nile scale w000t |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 7:53pm - thegreatspaldino ""] Muhammed goes back in time with Petrucci and watches the caved00ds' reactions to them appearing out of nowhere and gets inspired by the troglodytic confusion and chaos. hence Necrophagist's last album |

Grant is a better guitarist than Muhammad. He wrote all of the Necrophagist songs like ten years ago. Muhammad hacked his computer, got his guitar pro files and started Necrophagist. That being said, Necrophagist only plays in Archaeon scales. |

| _______________________________________ [Feb 24,2008 10:14pm - GoatCatalyst ""] Fuck Muhammad. Homely cocksucker is lucky he can shred. If homeboy wasn't a thoroughbred roundmouth, I'd have masturbation-grade video footage of Decapitated's last set at the Palladium. Tourmates mock him and his own label can barely tolerate that Turkish midget dicklicker. |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 9:41am - ouchdrummer ""] people who spend time learning scales are the shit. When you familiarize yourself with scales you learn the particular emotion that they convey, which all scales do in varying ways, and the more of them you know, the better you can express a particular riff. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 10:17am - passerby'er ""] It's all about 5 8 5 8 5 7 5 7 5 7 5 8 All day everyday. Pentatonic powers rules and Zakk wylde uses this scale religiously like a science so I'm all over that shit. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 10:18am - largefreakatzero ""] Don't forget to throw in shameless use of pinch harmonics to round off that wonderful style of playing. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 10:40am - immortal13 ""] Yeah and Zakk Wylde is God right? Think I'm gonna pick myself up a bullseye les paul with EMG's and start trying to play some rock. Fuck death metal. In other words, I couldn't care less about Zakk Wylde. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 10:49am - passerby‘er ""] Zakk is a great accomplished musician. He pretty much refined pinch harmonics and they're definately his signature. Don't be jealous you didn't think of it first. If you met zakk you'd probably shit your pants, tell him how good he is and beg for an autograph. Keep dreaming on the RTTP and zakk will continue to make a living doin music getting paid for it while your band is lucky to make 80 bucks at obriens |

Keep dreaming on the RTTP and zakk will continue to make a living doin music getting paid for it while your band is lucky to make 80 bucks at obriens I'm pretty sure Zakk Wylde didn't make the pinch harmonic, and I'm also pretty sure that about 90% of the bands I listen to have more talent than Zakk Wylde ever will. So in other words Zakk Wylde can blow me. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 11:31am - passerby‘er ""] It's all about how many tix you can sell and I'd venture to say zakk fills more seats than 100% of the bands you listen to combined. Zakk is a shred god virtuoso and he has the rock star looks to go with it. 100% of the bands you listen to look like something out of a horror movie or just retards dressing up like its halloween and they've had such difficult lives. Plus zakk can sing and i'm sure 100% of the bands you listen to have a singer that crawls out of a trash can demanding cookies. Get over it. Zakk has it all. |
