Sequences of Sadness | Dark Melodies Using The Aeolian Scale

Writing dark music is simple with the Aeolian (Natural Minor) scale. With a few chords, some piano and atmospheric beats we can delve deep into dark realms and bring forth melodies that evoke sadness, melancholy and longings for another world.
In this lesson we learn how to use the Aeolian (Natural Minor) scale to write melodies all over the fretboard using a variety of techniques that serve to accentuate the sound. The last example is particularly fun and uses a sextuplet rhythm combined with tremolo picking to evoke a Post Black Metal sort of sound.
I played an Epiphone SG Pro through an Audient iD4 using Aurora DSP's Rhino VST preset Ambient Lead in REAPER.

The cat had had enough at 2.30, rudely walking out. I like how the guitar and cat match. Good lesson.

Melody sounds like Crying Orc from Burzum

Essa é uma lição simples,mas possui uma sonoridade absurda. Refiz esse lick na minha guitarra usando reverb+flanger e ficou super aéreo e ambiental. 😊 Um abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

The Rhino plugin is a lot of cool stuff.

Is this from one of your courses, and does it also go over building the backing track?

[@CoreyHunter]

It's available with backing track and transcriptions over at my Patreon.

Can you recommend me some artists in this genre? It sounds nice and I'd like to check it out. Thanks!

[@CoreyHunter]

Anathema is a possibility.
