Title – Metal soloing
Author - Chris

The very key to soloing and learning to solo is scales. The scales below are the most common used in metal soloing. Once you learn these and are able to play them quickly you will be able to manipulate them to form your own solos.


Minor Pentatonic scale:

e----------------------------5-8------------------------------------e
b-----------------------5-8-----------------------------------------b
g------------------5-7----------------------------------------------g
d-------------5-7---------------------------------------------------d
a--------5-7--------------------------------------------------------a
E---5-8-------------------------------------------------------------E

E diminished scale:

e------------------------------------------9-10-12------------------e
b---------------------------------9-11-12---------------------------b
g------------------------9-10-12------------------------------------g
d-------------8-9-11-12---------------------------------------------d
a--7-8-10-11--------------------------------------------------------a
E-------------------------------------------------------------------E

Phrygian-dominant scale:

e-------------------------------------------12-13-16-17-19-20-22-24-e
b----------------------------------12-13-15-------------------------b
g----------------------------13-14----------------------------------g
d-------------------12-14-15----------------------------------------d
a-----------12-14-15------------------------------------------------a
E-12-13-16----------------------------------------------------------E

This is a great riff to put behind a metal solo just add distortion repeat and there you go.

e-------------------------------------------------------------------e
b-------------------------------------------------------------------b
g-------------------------------------------------------------------g
d----------------------3--------8-----------------------------------d
a---2-2-2-2-3-----2----1--------6---2-------------------------------a
E---0-0-0-0-1-----0-----------------0-------------------------------E
