Phrygian Improv Techniques - Rock & Metal Lead Guitar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2024
- In this first lesson we take a look at the E Phrygian mode in the key of C major. Please note that for the sake of my own aesthetic preferences, I am tuned down a half step, a la Slash; and refer to the notes on the fretboard as if we were in standard tuning so as to avoid unnecessary confusion.

I like that your straight forward. No fake facial expressions. No course selling, no forcing music theory. Just telling it how it is.
I really like the mood you create here with phrygian. makes me imagine ancient egypt's bizzare religious rituals
Its not weird if you want to be mummified after watching this
Egyptian
Wait until you hear Phrygian Dominant
I could listen to that all day
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.
I've been looking for this kind of lesson for months and I found it by accident :D great one man
same here
Vee-shao シ same here. Nobody seems to want to share information that will take you to a higher level like this.
You just shredded so hard on this, holy shit.
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.
✌
Dude you're awesome. Every time I watch one of your vids I end up motivated and knowing some really cool things. Thanks for everything you post.
Thankyou so much for this mode...so enchanting!! Love the channel, keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for the download, much appreciated. God bless!
Superb lesson and playing Corey - fantastic technique and feel. Thanks!
Found this one after years man, this was my first Phrygian lesson, cheers bud
Would love to see you do a lesson on that solo alone as a Phrygian practice solo-scale!
Thanks for sharing your free scale charts. Excelent tutorials and clear explanations.
What a cool idea the ending shreds dude! Thanks for the explanation !
Great Lesson !! Thank you very much! Phrygian mode has such an atmosphere to it...

Absolutely awesome ❤❤. Thank you for sharing your tips Corey..
@@juliodefreitas157 thanks for watching 👍
Love it! I'm very comforted by dark tones and Phrygian fits that perfectly! Sounds like Slayer.
I don't know why, but I took to the phrygian mode very naturally, even though I've been more of a blues man. Phrygian is my favorite way of playing now
Great lesson and awesome solo
You have really great lessons Thank you for sharing with us
your solo was amazing, I loved it! Do it again like this it's so good and helpful to learn some masterpiece shits! KEEP IT UP!
You actually really helped with a few things I've been having trouble with, and I found this channel on accident lol.
That's really interesting information, thanks. I'll definitely be checking that out!
Cheers Corey, great lesson.
Excellent instruction. Thank you!
Awesome lesson dude!!! :D
Fantastic lesson!
Really useful video and well laid out! Thanks :)
Thanks Corey Hunter
very helpful thanks your one of the better vids out there keep it up thanks
Holy shit! This is a great composition! Cheers mate!
I'm getting a Wherever I may roam vibe... nice video
What a great lesson well done keep up the great work
You are awesome thank you very much for making these videos bro.
Great lesson. Taught well .....good
Explanation.
You're my hero Corey!
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.....
great lesson man, i love the downloads it helps me quite a bit :)
Great stuff man!!
I'm impressed!
Very Solitude Aeturnus-esque solo, very cool!
You're the man! Looking forward to being able to improv! I see it as a possibility now...
Very nice lesson, thank you
Man you're bad-ass I've learned so much from you Thank you
Hey there. I use midi presets on Addictive Drums. You could also try EZ Drummer, which is also good.
Tabs?
Love the tone, bro!
Very cool lesson!
that intro was truly inspiring, enjoy the like and sub, thank you :)
Phrygian and Harmonic minor scales are the most metal and badass scales tbh.
Wow Your Solo Rocked !!!
Nice tone! & Playing of course, mate!
Very helpful bro! Much appreciated!
One of my favorites.
thanks mothman. I ll now have to reach a whole new world of scale and PROPER intonations. I had thought of Derrick trucks and one of his first albums. some years ago which led me to that original statement
Very useful lesson.
2020 and this shit still rocks!
Awesome solo! wow!!!
This was amazing. I have been trying to find stuff that can teach me how to build sections from theory rather than basic notes. Thank you for referring to the 5ths, roots and various other positions. I really appreciate it. Lol. I had to ask my musical wife what ostinato meant. Lol
God bless you man
Excellent. You are an excellent musician.
Such a great lesson! Wow! Thanks Corey. :-)
Hey Corey I have a question; Whats the brand and model of the black guitar on the back? Looks killer. Awesome lesson. Cheers from California :p
Great lead break solo sir ! 👍👍
Thanks a lot for very valuable lesson.. 🙏
Kick ass vid Brotha! :)
love the SG
That was fucking awesome sounding
you just help me indulging into a mode for the first time, awesome lesson, awesome backing track!
very helpful, don't mind the haters, u helped me a lot bro. Rock on \m/
Nice video. Thank you.
5:05 That's F & G though, for those playing along at home.
this is a great lesson as always Corey.
is it possible to do a lesson on how you could use this scale in conjunction with minor scale...and ideas of how you go from one to the other and come back...that's one thing i'm really struggle with lately.
Haven't heard of it, but I know what you mean, lol. Thanks for the support!
good composition....really helpful
Hi Corey, I am a beginner and you have no idea how much I enjoy watching your videos. Watching them everyday and learning from them. ^^ Now to my question, where can i get those drum beats you are using in some of your videos and do you create them by your self or are you using preset ones?
Thx mate!
THANKS YOU SO MUCH!
Great lesson as always. I have to say though, that slowed down section at the 13:00 minute mark... Did you ever hear of the show "WKRP In Cincinnati"? There is this episode, well, it had to do with softball and violin practice - gave me a major flashback, heh.
Anyhow, great lesson and thanks again for doing this stuff - I love that your "Likes" counter has been slowly but steadily increasing over the months. I'd love to see it hit the big time some day soon!
Damn. Great lesson man ! :D
If you don't like the emg's you should check out lace pickups new line of humbuckers. I love my dirty heshers
This is awesome
Blessed!
Yooo Dudee 0:28 was Lit🔥
It's a DBZ Halcyon, made in Korea and designed by the one and only Dean Zelinsky. Great guitar for metal and didn't cost me much.
Thanks--Finally someone shows waht needed to be done with the phrygian..
Can you go through all 8 positions?
Thanks-Bob
You are awesome!
Thanks for demystifying some of the guitar licks I've liked but didn't know how to play. I can approach some of Steve Vai and That bunch with at least a little knowlege.
Amazing. I love this sonority. Remind me solitude aeturnus.
no smile no mimic, man! give us a smile!!
You're so epic I can't put it in written words. Cheers from Ukraine \m/
i need a tab for this i like this style of riffing
respect bro ! :)
have a great day
SICK! \\m// Hell yea brother, keep it coming.

Jesus christ, that is fucking genius in its simplicity!
