I dont know the first thing about playing guitar, but watched this entire video, enjoying the shit out of that sound.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Haha hell yeah! I'm not mad at that!🎸

[@GregBourne]

Ever since I heard "Six" off of Resurrection I started writing solos or passages like this. Of course this led me to Nile aswell

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice!

[@Marcus-g5c6d]

NILE . 🤘🤘

[@petemcq_]

Phyrgian dominant for life. My band Sacrificial Burial uses this sort of stuff a lot!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice!

[@Marcus-g5c6d]

That the scale too. I was trying to play the 2nd position as the 1st and my brain was like no it doesn't sound right ..then I pulled that the Phrygian Dominant scales out and as soon as i played the 2nd where its just 2 notes on i believe the A or D i went that's it. Scales can be fun to learn Just remember the original way to play them ..lol

[@knowmeasmike]

By far my favorite guitarist. Love the content. Thanks Rob

[@mcoon1987]

Holy shimmer on that reverb lol. Great lesson Rob, thanks!

[@khyaamhaque]

Dude what! Just discovered your channel - huge fan of Chimaira and always looked up to you as a guitar player. Also, good man for doing the video on the H-307, my first 7 string!! Definitely keeping up with your channel.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Awesome man! 👊 Welcome aboard! Lots more in store! And cheers to the classic H-307!🎸

[@tomorrowwestport2620]

The game powerslave got me writing riffs like that for days as a kid There’s something so immersive and mysterious about hitting those notes A player don’t pull the ‘blues’ face or pull the ‘O-note’ look. It’s an alien look that portrays an alien sound It can be done to death so easily if you’re going for that isolating intimidating feel in metal…because it really captures that mood PERFECTLY

[@J.Crubach]

Edge of Sanity passage of time is a really good example for some Egyptian sounding riffs

[@deafworldstudios8644]

Soulfly called, Max would like his sound back! LOL. Great one Rob! I love the exotic scales implemented in Metal. It all began with the Chaos and Roots of Sepultura that really brought it all together. Andreas Kisser and Max Cavalera are amazing at what they do! Great vid Rob! I'll bare this in mind for Tribal/Exotic stuff in my songwriting.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I just listened to the Arise album last night! Soooooooo frickin good, and it reminded me just HOW influenced we (Chimaira) were by the mighty Sepultura!

[@schwab21121]

Great tips Rob. What I really appreciate from you is your humbleness. Love how ya teach from a very basic approach.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey thanks man, that means a lot! 👊

[@xsnys13]

When others seem to want to talk a higher language to make themselves sound brainy, people using a basic approach opens the lessons to anyone of any skill level. Rob genuinely wants to help everyone, and every video he uploads is a testament to that. We know he’s good, he doesn’t have to prove it to us anymore. 😎👌

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Aye brother! 🙏@@xsnys13

[@stickyfingers02]

I remember randomly finding and playing this interval by myself and immediately thinking of ancient Egypt lol.

[@poutsoklegane]

So nice sound the egyptian arabic sound.... make a heavy song with insane solo rob !!!!!

[@jasongooding987]

Thank you for this! So simple yet so effective.

[@JimsMusicDungeon]

Love this trick, been using it for a few years, those melodies always put me in a good mood

[@justgivenofox9543]

One of my favorite songs is “Cleansation” because of the solo in it. The Victorian power/octave chords followed by the quick ascend at the end of the solo is killer every time! Nice video Rob!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Awesome man!🤘

this is me when trying to make a 80's solo, it just turns in to this lol

[@creepymcpeepers]

Me to not gonna lie

[@spincycleproductions]

You're the guy I've learned this scale from when you did the Rock House DVD years back, and it's cool to see that you feel out the notes in order to figure out what notes fit, similar to how I do it nowadays. Thank you Rob for doing a video on this, awesome work

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Cheers bro!🤘

[@everydayperson764]

Nice! Cheers Rob!

[@williamdesilva67]

That minor 2md to major 3rd interval is super exotic sounding.. I love phrygian dominant for that very interval combination

[@darksoulmusic6042]

i love that man :D i get goosebumps everytime i hear that oriental stuff 🤩seriously.. god bless the guy who invented the delay fx..

[@Mythansar]

Great video Rob, as always! A pleasure to watch you playing, always! Keep it up with the good stuff! \m/ 🙂 This guitar is killer btw!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🙏👊

[@dmitryowens]

I love Middle Eastern and Gypsy style scales and melodies.

[@Marcus-g5c6d]

The space between 4 notes chromatic is awesome..Alot of that in Harmonic Minor. Made some cool riffs like that. And as Always Rob is Master Class

[@Zimak0v]

Love this one Rob! I’m middle eastern and I’ve been trying to incorporate this sound into my playing as well. Fun video. Great walkthrough as well!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks dude!🎸

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Refreshing approach, Roberto. Many of my favourite artists, including yourself, have this philosophy. Devin Townsend says that its liberating when you dont know exactly what is "correct", as youre no longer bound by its technical restrictions.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Right on!👊🎸

[@MichelJay]

Btw, that's not Yngwie's favorite scale at all (he's much more into harmonic minor stuff and plays almost exclusively minor scales) but I first heard it as a kid when listening to Uli Jon Roth ("Sails of Charon"'s intro solo is a good showcase of this incredible scale) and Ritchie Blackmore who made extensive use of it throughout his Rainbow days ("Stargazer" lead parts, for instance.... really mind blowing).

[@OfficialSNMvids]

I stumbled upon this many years ago myself and great teaching vid like always! \m/

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🤘

[@diminton007]

Love this video Rob. You can never stop learning right. Definitely heard a little bit of the Chimaira influence in there layering and building solo pockets. Keep killing it man. All the best!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Right on brother!👊

[@Gee-no]

Rob, your channel is quickly becoming one of my faves. I've played guitar a long time and just started getting back into metal. Specifically metalcore and Djenty stuff. I gotta admit I've yet to hear the band you became famous in Chaimara? But I'm gonna check them out now. Keep up the great work. Oh, more songwriting videos would be awesome. Thanks🤘🏻 Edit: just checked out an older track by Chimaira. Resurrection. Fucking great.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey awesome man, and welcome aboard! Glad you're heading down the Chimaira rabbit hole! May I suggest this one next? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6WchquDqNqDn8ksi=oTA2F18DK29SAEVd It's got a cool part based around the theme of THIS video! (🎸Cool soloing trick for that Egyptian/Arabic sound!)

[@AnwarAnwar-dm2id]

From a Fan from an Arab country .. You nailed it, I use this variation in Riffs création ...reminded my if your guitar intro on Six .

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🤘

[@MichelJay]

That's Phrygian dominant, which is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale and.... but you're right, nobody gives a shit about theory and the magic of this scale/mode/whatever stems from the fact you have a major third (so that's a major scale in fact, even if it doesn't really sound like it) which is supposed to sound bright/positive mixed with a minor second (half step interval) which is the most dissonant and disturbing interval available in music (that's the "Jaws" theme !). I like your shimmer sound in this video 🙂

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks man! It's the Spaceverb effect on the STL Amphub.

[@roosky203]

I have that guitar 😍

Thanks for the ideas Rob!!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey my pleasure!

[@paulslack4303]

Ritchie blackmore stargazer, just sounds like it 😂

[@JulesN.]

Awesome! There are definitely some exotic sequences in your music (the best examples that come to minds are the first lead break in Nothing Remains and the main riff melody in Six but also some stuff in that underrated gem of The Disaster's Healing Process, especially in That Way if my memory serves me well) and it's a cool trick to make lead parts sound a bit less predictable! 😉 I'll surely learn a thing or two from this video! Thanks man, as always top content! 👊🏻 Cheers and happy new year! 🤘🏻

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Ahh right on Jules! And I LOVE that you're such a fan of the Disaster record! 👊🙌

Make sure you check out our sophomore release, The Impossibility Of Reason, where we shed any resemblance of Nu Metal, and came out swinging!

I hate to ask this question, but is there any hope for Chimaira returning? It's one of my all time favorite bands and it would be super sick to see you guys come back!

[@ChandraKanth7]

This is awesome, can anyone educate me on what scales this is on. Mixolydian or Phrygian.?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I honestly don't know, but another guy commented saying it was Phrygian. 🎸

[@sethforpharaoh9356]

Phrygian Dominant. The "Traditional" Phrygian has a minor third (1- b2 - b3 - 4 - 5- b6 - b7) instead of a major third in the Phrygian Dominant (1 - b2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - b7). Rob is demonstrating the 1 - b2 - 3 - 4 degrees specifically in this video, and meanders to the other degrees here and there. --> Letter "b" means "flat", i.e. b3 = flat third.

[@619dar]

This is very nice and I really like what your doing here Rob. The only other guitar player do this is Steve Vai. I like the sound of Spanish guitar playing.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks Darren! Yeah man, it's a great sound! I love Spanish style guitar playing too.

[@Wh33lsofFortune]

Have you ever listened to Nile? They're Egyptian themed death metal.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I need to revisit them! Haven't heard them since the 90's!@@Wh33lsofFortune

[@Wh33lsofFortune]

@@RobArnoldWorld yes you do! Pretty much any album will do. In their darkened shrines and Amongst the Catacombs are probably my favorite but the newer Those whom the gods to test is pretty damn good. That album is from around 2010.

Sure! ESP LTD M-1000HT ---> Apollo Quad interface ---> STL Amphub Tonality (w/spaceverb FX) ---> CLA Unplugged ---> YOU🫵😝

[@sweengeppetto1915]

Rob, the guitar in the link in the description has different inlays than the one you're playing in the video here, is yours not the production model or what's up with that

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Wow you're right! Well spotted! Good thing is, they're only slightly different! Mine is a typical production model, but perhaps over the years they make slight design modifications? I'm not sure!

[@MatthiasBuesing]

Hey Rob, the guitar looks absolutely badass! What model is it if I may ask? Thanks! 🤘🏻 I'm in love with Harmonic Minor/Phrygian Major as well - Yngwie likes to use it almost excessively ;-)

I typically play in standard but could drop one of my guitars down to c is that drop c like sabbath and Pantera?

[@arrakeen20]

It’s referred to as Phrygian domaint

[@calitheguitarist]

To my ears it’s basically the basis for a lot of the song “Six” that song totally changed how I played guitar. Where did the name six come from for that track?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice! I tell the full story of SIX in this video! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHivgXmieJmFd7s

[@jjrusy7438]

my touch of autism makes me see the fretboard as patterns on graph paper. you are horsing around in a harmonic minor scale. the run up the whole neck is a cool pattern up the whole neck moving up one fret as you move up each string. like on low E : 3,4,6. then on A: 4,6,7. D, 6,7,9., G 7,9,10.you have to make a bigger jump when you hit the b string: 9,10, 12, hi E: 10,12,13. then you can run a parallel pattern inverted either above or below that one, so that you can now move vertically or horizontally , not just diagonally. hella jam pattern.

[@IndependenceGuitar]

What effect are you using? That sounds awesome!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks bro! STL Amphub. There's an effect called Spaceverb! Super fun to play with.

[@enacku]

Hey Rob, im going around looking at all your guitar info videos. Is this guitar an LTD M-1000HT? And how do you think it compares to the LTD JM-2? They seem so close in specs with little differences making them unique but in the same exact price point and both I believe are made in Korea.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Yes! It's an M-1000HT. Here's my FULL video on the guitar! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2GbZ2WKosqeo80 I can't say how it compares to the JM-2, as I've never tried one, but I guarantee you can't go wrong with either! The JM-2 also looks amazing! My M-1000HT was made in Indonesia. And to each their own of course, but to me, country of origin means nothing!

[@enacku]

Great answer man, I just discovered the JM-2 I was playing with was made in Indonesia as well. Was a little bummed out at first but glad to hear it doesn't matter in your opinion as it felt like the best guitar I've played yet and sound too. Just hard to swallow paying that kinda money when its from a 3rd world country lol. @@RobArnoldWorld
