'Haunting' scales and horror-theme - what a coinsidence
Hey!
As a guitarist for seven years, it wasn't up until now I figured out my first scale for a kind of horror-feel. Amazingly enough, after a couple of runs around the scale, I discovered that this scale is in fact the scale used by Synyster Gates in several of the Avenged Sevenfold tracks. A good example is the guitar duel and the solo in 'Afterlife'. Basically, the scale is like this. E---|---------------8-10-12-13-15-17-18-20 B---|----------8-10------------------------ G---|---7-9-10----------------------------- Say what you wanna say, but to me this is quite the big one. I've been playing around looking for that scale for a looong time, and suddenly did by slump. And by the way; what scale is this anyway? So; am I the only one to have discovered a scale out of pure coinsidence? |

The first octave (up to 10 on the E string) is a D-something scale that has the exact same notes as C-major and A-minor, execpt for the fact that the italic note should be there (but it's still that key). The second octave is D minor I THINK... atleast according to google. As you can see, I'm not an expert.
