5 Black Metal Scales You Need To Know

[@AMB666]

You still can play black metal with the major scale..if you're kvlt enough!

[@resumacast]

Really? I would like to hear some exemples. I tend not to care much about the scales and I don’t make some sort of influenced by BM music.

[@dawidbylka2706]

@@resumacast the dude was joking. however I think major chords are somewhat common in dsbm.

[@jacobbarnwell8999]

@@dawidbylka2706 you definitely can .. minor keys have their major “brother” .. same notes

I'm personally addicted to the diminished scale. So deceptively simple, but so bizarre and unresolved sounding. You have done great work utilising the scales you chose in the intro song! Very cool!

[@joselekiwi5695]

darthboxOriginal Try hungarian minor or Neapolitan scale

[@andrewmurdock4614]

My favorite scale to use as well...its good scale to use to practice techniques too leggto especially .

[@kijbeeler8966]

No joke, I didnt know really anything about music theroy at all until I watched your Dissection where dead angels lie lesson and literally I am learning chords so fast! I never knew reading scales and how to read finger placement for chords I loved playing guitar at first and now that you showed me some music theory I am totally addicted to playing music.

Nothing beats playing black metal in the chromatic scale

[@christblack3339]

Let me help you rephrase that.. Nothing beats black metal... My work is done here🖤🤘🦇

[@anastasiavila5284]

@@acab2889 No, lol, I was saying that was MY practice amp, which is so puny it could basically serve as a wall hanging.

This is great. Your previous video on Phrygian mode got me geeking out on working with the friggin' Phryg. Thank you Simon!

[@davidlancaster2728]

0:54 Marduk-esk sounding, sick.

[@hpebackwards]

Also Abyssic Hate-esque

[@GeorgeL909]

That was a fantastic demo at the beginning... That minor to harmonic is my favorite mini progression I admittedly overuse

[@voronOsphere]

7:24 Double Harmonic Scale! I'm going to check out that lesson next!!!! Thanks, Simon!

[@southcity3777]

That intro song was great

[@chesneyhawkesinofficial3742]

I never learned scales and now I realize I use almost the same as in the video for decades :D

[@AlistairMaxwell77]

what do you think about black metal drum beats you need to know for drum programing video? you have done a couple of great vids on kvlt drums and the production side , but I am trying to beef up my drum parts knowledge and programing skills focused on black metal.

[@pierredessein5568]

Same here, that's a good idea!

[@archloy]

Thanks ! And next : how to place chords around that :) (maybe one day I will understand music...)

[@punkactive6209]

A number of these I have practiced quite often. And still your application of these scales are inspiring! Awesome! These tutorials are killer!

[@voronOsphere]

Thanks, Simon!

[@Vancity-2000]

Hello Simon, this is awesome video, do you possibly have the drum track?

[@agamon1930]

thank you man. ive learned so much thanks to you... you are awesome

[@moistness482]

video title: *contains black metal* me: "you son of a bi***, I'm in"

[@adrianamorphous]

Simon keep it up! There are very few channels that do what you do 💀💀💀

[@nacha8403]

keep up the good work! great stuff

[@DANICOLOMBIA100]

Hi Simon, I had asked myself if you have a tutorial to play Morgenrøde by Burzum, since I really like this song but I don't know what techniques are used to play it, especially for the beginning riff ... Or if you could do a little tutorial since you are uploading videos about black metal techniques

[@infinidominion]

I was gonna suggest watchin Varg play on that dusty Peavey he had demonstrating some stuff from that album but his channel was removed

[@sailorpsycho]

well, you can learn it from uncle varg himself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmW6p42ZdrF5bK8

[@Zeptofit]

oh thats what i need

[@WakizashiSabre]

Anyone for chromatic? :) anyways, nice lesson as usually.

[@adamb.m4844]

what scale used in de mysteris dom satanas

[@DeathTVOfficial]

Phyrgian is not a scale. Its a mode. Phyrgian "scale", specifically the one you showed, is a mode of major, the third one down from the root mode. Its the same collection of notes in the same order, it just starts on another note. This is important to understand and to not confuse people, scales =/= modes, scales contain modes. All modes of a scale are the same thing, they just start on a different note but that doesnt actually matter until you make that note your tonal center tbus giving its "flavor"

[@karaokeentertaintment8197]

Would you be so kind and share the backing track to jam to this in our living rooms??? The neighbors will appreciate it much thanks in advance 😊👍
