Most METAL Scale | HUNGARIAN MINOR

In this video you'll learn all about the Hungarian Minor Scale. It's one of the most metal scales you can play, containing a minor 3rd, b5 and M7 for maximum evil. In addition to the scale, I'll teach you counterpoint phrases, chord progressions and even an etude to get familiar with the sound. So grab your axe and let's do this muhahaha

Walk into Budweiser headquarters with that shirt on. Play Hungarian Minor

[@bencemaraczi992]

As a Hungarian, I approve this.

[@淚]

me too

[@ShredmasterScott]

stay Hungary muhahaha

[@toprak3479]

Are you a minor too?

[@buttadawg493]

me too

[@matejbolecek7997]

Greetings from Slovakia, your neighbours

[@oldpunker885]

This scale is like if Phrigian knocked up a harmonic minor.

[@ShredmasterScott]

well said

[@oldpunker885]

@@ShredmasterScott you should do a lesson on the Neapoliton Minor unless you already did. That one is also very sinister.

[@gngrblls2thwall]

Did you mean lydian? It's harmonic minor with a sharp 4.

[@oldpunker885]

@@gngrblls2thwall I recently was introduced to the Hungarian and Neapolitan scale. I mixed them up. My comment makes more sense for the Neapolitan scale.

[@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147]

Does phyrgian know you shouldn't knock up minors.

[@chrisrosencrans]

I'm Hungary for more scales teeheehee*cough*muahaha

[@infoscholar5221]

I'm an old Punk Rocker, and I find this channel a dark, bottomless well of knowledge. I was a trumpet player before I found the Holy String instruments I was fated to play, and Shred is putting a lot of knowledge back into my poor battered brain, I long forgot, with much new stuff, besides. Great channel, hilarious, imminently knowledgeable host. Respect!

[@TV-lb1wn]

I misread "trumpet slayer" and I'm cracking myself up.

[@Buford_T_Justice]

Dude, that etude was better than 99.666% of any commercial album I've heard in years.

[@quietberserker]

I'd never wanna learn music theory again without your jokes. They make theory tolerable lol

[@jimmyggs91]

The amount of augmented seconds on this scale is deliciously evil, I approve.

[@kinginblack3321]

I've never seen somebody laugh with such a straight face ..

[@dimitrisavic4702]

I feel like Shred knows more music theory than Adam Neely, but doesn’t want to admit it

[@boracaglar6350]

That etude is so melodic

[@ShredmasterScott]

in the most evil way

[@ggarzagarcia]

Sounds like I’m in a Quake or Doom game. Someone get Shred to be the composer!

[@jamesharrickey3580]

I've been adding that sharp 4th degree in many solos where I've utilized the harmonic minor scale. Adding it at the right parts always gave such an awesome sound. It's so evil. Thanks for giving me more context in what it is I was doing.

[@theoryjoe1451]

Could you do a lesson on the fugue? You reacted to one a few days ago after all. Also your evil laugh is so f*cking awesome.

[@ShredmasterScott]

good idea

[@chrisvanallsburg]

Best lesson yet. Killer metal riff. You have the talent and the KNOW HOW. Bravo, sir.

[@dougarnold7955]

Awesome. I experimented with this scale as a young guitar player back in the eighties. Thanks.

[@berkburakbiyikli5655]

The song was so good man. Please make it a full song I would listen to it everyday!

[@murk4552]

There's a Hungarian Major scale as well. That scale has some super "out there" modes, like its diatonic chords are a biatch to normalize into a progression.

[@ShredmasterScott]

the chords are awesome

[@chaocrator]

hungarian major is like diminished scale with one missing note

[@davidcastelein2137]

Exactly on the same mood as you ; I was always looking for , how to exorcise the evil and demons thanks to my guitar .. fortunately found your channel, and sold you my soul

[@buckyBitBoy]

Sounds really cool even without any distortion

[@turbinexman]

One of my favorite scales to play and warm up with!! The theme from "The Munsters", is based on this scale!!

[@purpleman1719]

bro this song you composed at the end was the most beautiful fucken thing i have ever heard you are a gifted musician

[@Jay-qh6uv]

Almost certain that this scale is used in the last riff of Bathory Aria, the final lyrical+narrative song from Cruelty and The Beast, the concept album all about a fantastical and fictional (but very metal) retelling of the life of the Hungarian Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. It really wraps things up because A) obviously, the countess was Hungarian noble living in the late 16th to early 17th century, and B) it sounds evil as hell. I may be wrong about this, but every time that part of the song starts my brain just screams HUNGARY HUNGARY HUNGARY, especially because much of it is chanted by a choir. It sounds like a track that should have been in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

[@djc9619]

Your channel shreds! Awesome job here

[@jjrusy7438]

badass example of why this scale is great. someone else was asking about Orff. i would also like to see how that o fortuna sound got extended into the early symphonic metal.

[@jselwocki]

dude that is awesome. Thanks for the lesson

[@nathanspear8735]

The soul contract 😂 God damn I love this channel

[@zsoltkatonka7127]

De szép skála! :D

[@jimmy56100]

Loved this. Those are some drool worthy riffs

[@MercutioUK2006]

Satriani is responsible for some epic, malevolent tunes.... Hordes of Locusts! Gotta say, your use of chords is awesome.

[@sanjugholley]

Joe satriani in itself is the best book for music and soul😊

[@remixguitar7852]

Brilliant lesson!

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

This scale does ooze evil. That minor 3rd interval to stetch to the #4 of the scale just adds so much, as much as I love harmonic minor. Hung minor has fun modes as well. Everyone loves Byzantine, and the Oriental Scale is also interesting, though kind of hard to use.

[@Tatokala]

The oriental scale is another one?

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

@@Tatokala Yes, I believe it's the 2nd mode of Hungarian minor

[@Tatokala]

Indeed...Thanks.

[@AshManzarek]

Thanks Shred!

[@hodge-podge-collage8730]

I like your style dude 🤘

[@liminal79]

love to see more classical music breakdowns. O Fortuna, Hall of the Mountain King, Mars (Planet suite)... Some reaction videos would be cool ^_^ Love to see your reaction on Heilung (Lifa at CastleFest), Lord of the Lost, Powerwolf, etc

[@GeneralDrunkenStumblefuk]

DAMMIT!!! I've been subscribed for only 2 days and I've already adopted the sinister laugh 👹

[@raphaelcote3577]

Proggy! I Love it! 👌

[@ExuberantTangent]

Shred every week: "This is possibly the most metal scale ever! Mwuhahahaha"

[@humerus1987]

@Ola Englund also approves, nice Solar guitar and great playing too.

[@rangle187]

fun lesson!

[@GuitarJammer]

Ah so this is where Galder gets all of his sinister riff ideas!

[@ryanhass8716]

Musterion is a killer track, the solo is really cool too though, it keeps key changing down by a half step

[@darthmalius]

so many videos teaching these exptic scales, something I am perfectly capable of doing myself, but I want is good examples of usage so thank you for putting that in here.

[@jettrainbow]

2:22 Counterpoint is when two or more voices move independently

[@massttrshrdrharmonicminor2002]

Haha, I thought this was a blues scale when I first picked up the bass guitar

[@trongphamle5326]

3:41 I'm feeling a Stand User here!

[@sethmaven6924]

Thanks!

[@TheCyberMantis]

Man, I play this kinda crap all the time... and I never knew exactly what it was. It reminds me of phrygian dominant. Which I also play too much. ( Your etude song at the end was badass. Reminded me of something King Diamond would do. ) So we know that sh1t is EEEEEEEVIL.

[@ShredmasterScott]

stay evil Mantis muhahaha

You’re awesome!

"hahahaha" now my favorite quote. Thank you.

Fuck yes, sounds amazing man

[@haeretean9012]

Maestro Shred please make an album would buy 100%

[@matiasnavarrete5766]

Brutal!

[@No-cg9kj]

Double harmonic major. It's even sicker. This is a mode of it.

[@SatansYardsale]

How did you come to possess this amount of knowledge regarding music? I'm just a beginner but I've watched quite a few of your vids and you strike me as someone who has forgotten more about music than I'll ever hope to know.

[@ShredmasterScott]

gotta sell your soul muhahaha

[@alexandrestarinsky1055]

Brilliant

[@toprak3479]

Jerry Goldsmith used this scale a lot for The Omen's soundtrack

[@edgyswordsmanmanga4051]

What do you think of the Solar guitar? Im considering getting a 7-string from them. I already own a 2018 E1.6ETC and its badass.

I'm a fan of the *infinite scale* , with which you can have any scale in your song and make it sound awesome in any creative possible way.

[@globalfatmas]

Cool guitar.

you're so useful

I'm Hungary but my doctor says I should leave more major intervals between meals.

[@nickname3798]

circle progression lesson please

[@kvol9462]

I use this scale a lot.

[@alanglaser8028]

Flamenco scales usable in shred would be interesting,not just usual Phrygian.

[@GuitarJammer]

1:54 At first I though I heard him say "H-sharp, that's the evil note". While he actually said A-sharp, my head cannon will go to H-sharp and the sharp pointy abyss of Hell. Very evil. Muahaha

[@marcusking8507]

It may as well be called the Opeth scale.

[@idontgivea1769]

3:42 I’m hearing Mozart’s Requiem here

[@facepalmjesus1608]

NEXT CHALLENGE!!! Messiaen scales!!!!!!!!

[@lewisbean4250]

I thought this was the 4th mode or Neapolitan or Harmonic Phrygian scale, where it’s the same as this but with minor 7th. Some of the other modes of that scale sound very funky (Edit wait that’s the Hungarian gypsy minor)

I’m all about pedals 🎹🎤

I learned it was called the 'gysy' scale. Listen to Django Reinhard for example. It is so cool scale.

Does this mean that he's Hungarian John Petrucci??? And you successfully fried my brain (not totally, but partially, yes... Smells like bacon)
