    This is exactly what's going through his head while playing this.
    0:29-0:32 "Am I too stoned for this?"
    0:34-0:36 "No...no."
    0:38-0:42 "Seriously high though... Like soooo high"
    On the real though awesome lesson, thank you for posting. This is Probably my favorite sounding mode.

    The beginning of this video is amazing. I used to think you could only solo to blues and jazz backing tracks and thought metal style was too "complicated" to improvise to, not anymore.

    This is so cool. He's playing leads in the A harmonic minor scale for a song in E minor... (Harmonic minor scale. Btw, the second to last note in your minor scale moves up one fret, so slightly different forms.)
    If the songs in E minor or whatever, starting with E, count backwards 5 notes on the scale.
    E D C B A = A harmonic minor scale.
    If the songs in B minor?
    B A G F E = E harmonic minor scale.
    Song in A minor?
    A G F E D = D harmonic minor.
    And so on!
    I wish I'd known this in the 80's 😉
    Minor keys only! For fun try it out using a regular minor scale without changing the seventh note. Same fingering patterns.
    I don't read music but love to play!
    Awesome thanks!

      About the picking.
      That's how I always picked. Thing was, being accurate was hard at high speeds. I'd miss notes, sometimes even strings.
      It seems you've really gotta have the knack to blaze through with every pickstroke alternating, to get that aggressive sound!
      Then I learned about downward pick slanting and string hopping.
      Huh?
      Players (me) stare at their fingering hand and the picking sorta takes care of itself. Inefficient habits are learned. Not giving equal attention to both hands limits the ability to play at high speeds. Few guitarists consider economy of motion once the picking goes on full auto.
      Downward slanting is holding the pick at a slight angle, around 30° or so, with the fat end tilted away from your face a bit and the pointy end toward your face.
      String hopping is after you pick a note with a downward motion, the tip ends up caught between the string you just picked and the one below that.
      That's fine unless you need to change strings for a higher note (string) and have to hop behind it and change direction before you can even pick it.
      Regardless of moving up or down, you're still gonna need to pull your pick out from between those two strings as part of your motion.
      Trick is...
      1
      Never change strings on a down stroke...except...
      2
      Except to a higher note (string) by continuing that same down stroke, pushing through till it plucks that next string, don't swing around it! That's a strategic sweep.
      3
      Change strings only on up strokes. (Your pick's now floating, poised above the strings. Now you can move to either a higher or lower string much more efficiently.)
      4
      If necessary, use a hammer on or pull off for the last note on a string to end on an up stroke.
      You can use this on Cory's three note per string pattern, with the ascending scale but you must start on a down stroke.
      It may feel strange at first but it's worth it if you can make it habit at speed. The number of notes per string matters so your patterns won't always match up with the 3 note per string ascending patterns but often adding a note or removing one is better than hammering or pulling.
      I learned about this on you tube and its amazing. I can blaze through three octaves and beyond with much greater speed and precision than in all my years playing!
      I can't link or name the video here. That wouldn't be cool but y'all might wanna check it out.

    sometimes I mix the harmonic minor with it. Use the root note as a sort of trun around or around. For the -2 and natraul 7th...Other times I'll play the natraul 3rd
    as a sort of leading tone to the 4th....I bascailly get all these 1/2 steps at the root, 4th and 5th...sometimes I'll flatten the 5th and used the 4th as hammer or pull point...which is basically the locrain,...Love these gyspy type of scale.
    What helped me was playing the various option notes of the blues scale...there's more than just the -5 option note. You get used to play throwing in options at at different places depending on the phrasing.....
