Heavy Metal Guitar Scales - Scales for Heavy Metal and Thrash Soloing
Learn the essential scales for playing heavy metal and thrash guitar as used by Tony Iommi, Kirk Hammett, Dave Mustaine, Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman and others! Plus 3 super cool licks to show you how to use each scale to create heavy metal style licks of your own.
You'll learn:
1:05 The Minor Pentatonic Scale
The most commonly used scale in almost every style of guitar playing so if you don't know it then this is the best place to start!
2:05 The Blues Scale
Another essential scale for rock, metal and thrash soloing. It's just like the minor pentatonic with a couple of notes added in giving it a darker, more edgy sound - perfect for rock and metal soloing.
3:27 Rock and Heavy Metal Lick 1
Check out this essential metal lick using the A blues scale. You'll hear ideas like this in the playing of every metal guitar player including Kirk Hammett, Dave Mustaine, Tony Iommi and Zakk Wylde. It uses a few essential metal guitar moves within the blues scale shape - you can use them to create your own licks.
7:48 Speed!
Metal players often play licks like this at very fast speeds! Whatever stage you're at, practice using this lick, even if you can't yet play it as fast as they can. Find a way to use it in your playing and you'll soon notice it coming out in your guitar solos. Build up speed over time!
8:05 Sliding Blues Scale
Incredibly useful for soloing. It works its way along the fretboard rather than just staying in one area of the neck. There are all sorts of awesome metal and rock licks hiding inside this pattern so experiment and hunt them out!
9:57 Rock and Heavy Metal Lick 2
This uses the sliding blues scale pattern to create a speedy, slippery little metal lick! Watch for the position shifts, slides and the use of the blue note to give it a little darker flavour than the minor pentatonic lick.
11:50 The Natural Minor Scale/Aeolian Mode
The scale pattern for the natural minor scale is like the minor pentatonic scale with a few added notes. It's also called the Aeolian mode and is widely used by all rock and metal players. Listen for it in the playing of Kirk Hammett, Randy Rhoads, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Dave Murray and others. Use it as a way to add 'colour' to your basic pentatonic scale shape. Sometimes the added notes won't work, but most of the time they will.
14:00 Rock and Heavy Metal Lick 3
This metal lick is coming from the A natural minor scale and uses a palm muted repeated phrase in the first part. Notice how the added natural minor notes are being to used to decorate a simple pentatonic idea and give it more flavour. The next part is typical of the playing of Randy Rhoads. Again it's using a simple minor pentatonic lick but it's decorated with the added natural minor notes - a great way to build vocab with any new scale!
17:19 How to Use These Licks and Scales
Use them as a starting point for making up your own licks. Change and adapt them to suit your taste. Also borrow ideas from your favourite players and see how you can use them in your own playing. This may seem cheeky but it's part of how all great players learn.

Dinggara Trianankesa Hi there Dinggara, thanks for your kind words! The backing track comes from a collection I got on iTunes. It's on the 'Premium Backing Tracks, series and is called something like '40 Royalty Free Guitar Jam Backing Tracks'. It's a great collection of backing tracks - and very good value for money too so check it out. Most of this lesson used the Key of Am Hard Rock track (track 3 I think). The chords are mainly A5, F5 and E5 . Hope that helps mate. Cheers, James

Question: When you say your going to "bend it up 2 frets" how exactly do you know its going up two frets is it a feel or pitch change or is there a tangible way to know your bending it up 2 frets?
@JamesShipwayGuitar
5 жыл бұрын
Hey there! It's a mixture of both...but to start with its about getting the note right ( in other words bending it up enough so you hit the right note). After that it also becomes a feel/ muscle memory thing. Watch this video it'll really help you're bending including a good exercise for getting tuning right. Good luck! kzread.info/dash/bejne/lWemt8GYabDbkco.html

Hey, i was wondering it you could post a vid for left and right hand synchronization. i can play some solos really fast and some i not quite fast. my picking hand and fretting completely fails to synchronize as soon as i go above 140 bpm my picking hand is quite fast but the fretting hand is really slow. i'v tried using many fingering exercises and books. plzzz help

Cool lesson! Though I knew these scales I still learned some cool little things . Mostly I forget what I learn so recaps for me r essential, I find going over the basics is always helpful because there s always something I forgot or didn't learn properly the first time and everybody adds there own flavour and that's something I can use lol,.

The scale you played is e minor pentatonic scale
Here's the reality: There's no "heavy metal scales". There's just scales, and what makes something metal is not the scale used. Learn the scales you want to learn and use them in /whatever/ musical context you want to use those scales. End of story.
