It's complicated- but if you just look at Harmonic Minor modes the same way you look at Major Scale modes- it makes perfect sense. ANY scale can be viewed with it's own "modes" off the scale degrees- Harmonic Minor has it's own set is all. In fact- here they are for anyone interested: Harmonic minor mode I : Harmonic minor scale (minor). It is the most used of the seven modes.The formula is 1- 2 - b3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - 7. YNGWIE STARTS HERE Harmonic minor mode II : Locrian 13 or Locrian 6 (half-diminished). Formula is 1 - b2 - b3 - 4 - b5 - 6 - b7. Harmonic minor mode III : Ionian #5 (augmented). Formula is 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - #5 - 6 - 7. Harmonic minor mode IV : Dorian #11 (or dorian #4) (minor). Formula is 1 - 2 - b3 - #4 - 5 - 6 - b7. Harmonic minor mode V : Phrygian dominant (dominant). Formula is 1 - b2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - b7. THIS IS THE ONE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MOSTLY Harmonic minor mode VI : Lydian #2 (major). Formula is 1 - #2 - 3 - #4 - 5 - 6 -7 . Harmonic minor mode VII. Super locrian bb7 (diminished). Formula is 1 - b2 - b3 - b4 - b5 - b6 - bb7. AND YNGWIE USES THIS FOR ALL HIS DIMINISHED RUNS- Copied from some jazz site www.jazz-guitar-licks.com.

Thank you!!!

[@erikekvall9310]

Can you Maybe show us your yjw settings?

[@MrPolevaulter]

There's so much that goes into the sound. What exactly do you want to know? Amp settings? Tre 6, mid 8, bass 7-8, pres 4, volume 10, using high treble input.

[@adam5744]

Sounds great what are the amp settings that you use thanks

[@MrPolevaulter]

Bass to presence: 7-8, 8, 6, 4. Volume on full.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Man, your tone is fucking excellent. I have a good ear from playing by ear so long and I just love your tone man. You have it nailed sir.. Be safe my friend.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks man :)

[@douglasnisbet1189]

Yep, those scales will help. Most important though would be accuracy to your hand synchronisation. Without that then it's a losing battle.

[@Hilai619]

What the difference between Phrygian Dominant and harmonic minor? They sound pretty the same

[@MrPolevaulter]

They're different modes of the same scale.

[@yjmsrv]

Phrygian dominant scale is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale, the fifth being the dominant. So if you're playing in A Minor- (Harmonic Minor) you play E Phrygian Dominant over the E chord- same notes- different chord tones and different emphasis on the scale degrees. It's like any other "mode" but it's derived from the Harmonic Minor scale instead of the standard Major Scale. Next up is the Diminished runs Yngwie uses - again same "A Harmonic Minor" but you start all your Diminished arpeggios on (as Yngwie says) major 3rd of the Phrygian Dominant- or the G# note. You're still in A Harmonic Minor- but playing off it's raised 7th degree which really wants to resolve to the Key- A. That's why it sounds SO COOL! You only have to learn one scale- but the note and chord tones change for each chord in the background. Honestly it's a lot like what people do with CAGED- only with the Harmonic Minor instead of the Ionian Major Scale.

[@Makulax]

@@yjmsrv basically the same scale. Different Roots.

[@Bowietrope]

Elmo....you are never sloppy, and your tone is awesome. When I play the blues in order to sound authentic and yet unconventional, I use the Harmonica minor scale by putting the guitar strings against my throat and attempting to sing sounding like a mouth harp....never mind I shouldn't try to be humorous this early. Hey I always thought Yngwie could do a cover of Hava Nagilla, sounded like what you were doing too. Seriously I think Mixolydian or the Dominant scale sounds great over blues and other exotic things, I want that to be my go to scale/mode, Bruce

[@Bowietrope]

Oh....and The Scorpions "Backstage Queen" is a great example of mixo/dominant scale, am I right? Bruce

[@MrPolevaulter]

Don't remember that song. Have to check it out.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Don't think I've ever heard this song. Listening to it now. Sounds like mixolydian.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Some nice playing there.

[@Bowietrope]

@@MrPolevaulter Ah yes, Uli Jon Roth, an inspiration for Yngwie, and Yngwie covered The Sails of Charon, another fantastic Scorpions tune from the 70s, and he stayed pretty true to the original solo. Yes you're right Mixolydian mode, and I believe mostly one pick per string. We had to learn that song back at GIT in LA, Bruce.

[@billwilliams6338]

ELMO KARJALINEN, i thought you were going to show more examples of yngwie guitar solos using the phrygian dominant mode. Which songs does yngwie use the phrygian dominant mode? You said that the phrygian dominant mode is a minor scale with a Raised 3rd?

[@MrPolevaulter]

I think I said that it's like the Phrygian, only with a raised 3rd.

[@MrPolevaulter]

He uses the scale in tons of songs. Krakatau is only one example. The third solo section of Seventh Sign is another.

[@billwilliams6338]

@@MrPolevaulter can you make a video lesson on examples of yngwie using the phrygian dominant mode?

[@billwilliams6338]

@@MrPolevaulter I think you said its a normal aeolian minor scale with a raised 3rd So its a normal Ionian major scale with a raised 3rd?

[@billwilliams6338]

@@MrPolevaulter The Phrygian mode is a major scale with a 3rd already, If you raise the 3rd in the phrygian mode it will become a 4th?

I use it to push a slightly dirty Plexi.

[@kellecetraro4807]

What's your recommendation for getting a Yngwie tone on a JCM 900?

[@MrPolevaulter]

@@kellecetraro4807 Not sure, as I don't have a JCM900, but I'd try to get it as close to a Plexi as possible in terms of sound and use something like a Fender Yngwie overdrive in front.

[@MagisterTuomo]

I had completely forgot about this series. Have to check out the gear-episode again, I think.... But on a different note. I believe that this channel has quadrupled its followers since I started following it some 2,5 years ago.... That is a greater growth (exponentially) than that of the mighty Metallica during said time-period. That is some sh*t Elmo Kellokosken kurittaja Karjalainen :D.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Mmm...time-period... :D

Näytä' se Ynkän Harmonic minor ja Phrygian kuinka ne on sama asteikko

Elmo can show you how Phrygian and Harmonic minor are the same. If indeed it was unclear.
