Hey Bernth, love your videos and lessons, thank you a lot. Just wanted to give you a little bit of feedback from my personal perspective. I noticed you like split screen feature, which may be nice/useful in some cases. But for me, it is a bit distracting. In this particular video, the lower video is a loop of the beginning of this lesson, and it loops for most of the duration of the video, even when you are already speaking about further concepts, which are not inline with the video that loops. So it basically distracts twice: 1) just because there is motion in two videos except one, so it's harder to focus on just one of them and 2) is because what it loops is not inline with your current words. So, if the video that loops was aligned win your current words, that would be the case where it might be useful. But it's a recorded video after all, we can always go back and re-watch what we need :) Keep up the good work, much appreciated!

Right on thanks for the on-line tab. Makes it easier to learn.
While most guitar teachers avoid even talking about Diminished chords, you are doing a video on the scale! Kudos from India.
I've got zero interest in playing metal but your teaching is so good and your video production so helpful that I have to watch anyway.
I love this scale. I love it so much that I had an entire band that pretty much had two releases with entire songs based on this scale.
So great to hear that it is used out there, thanks for sharing that :)
I play in a grateful dead tribute band and this has been exceptionally helpful for me. Thank you and great work! Subscribed!
Vielen Dank für eine weitere analytische Herangehensweise! So macht Lernen Spaß.
sehr sehr cool, wie fast alle deine videos! vielen dank Bernth! ps. der bildschirm unten rechts macht mich wahnsinnig :-) ;-)
Hi Bernth, Thanks for another great lesson! I have tried the Diminished scale before, months ago, but because I'm mostly self taught, I don't have anyone to explain it to me like you can!
I realized when I was working with it, It did sound metal like to me! It was fun to play too, it had a metal feel. But I wasn't sure what chords to put with it. And I also need some good arpeggios too! I think I'll go back and check it out again, now. I have this diminished scale in my scale book, that will make it easier for me.
I would like to share something with you and your students, that I came across while looking back at some of my notes. I know you know this already, but I would like to share it anyway. It's an alternate tuning and hear it is C#-G#-C#-F-G#-C#. I tuned my guitar to it today and played a slow metal rhythm with my drum machine. I know a lot of metal guitar is played fast, but I like to slow it down sometimes, like 108 bpm! And before I new it, It was sounding good, I liked the slow grinding grunge it had. I've used some other down tuning before, but this is the first time I've used this one. I hope you'll try it and like it! And If you can share your thoughts about it!
So your going on tour, that sounds great, good luck to you!
I've got to go, TOONAMI is coming on!!!!
Thanks again for another great lesson!
See you in the next video!
Todd P.
Yes please, jazz concepts for metal
Thanks in advance
Very helpful
Thanks bernth
Always awesome, thanks Bernth! I had not learned these, so this was excellent.
Have fun and be safe touring my man!
Thank you very much Timmy, happy you can use this one :)
If I could subscribe 10mX’s I would! You’re freaking neck cam and over lay is fucking amazing! Thanks so much for that! I hope the best for you
Can u please do a lesson on SLAYERS riffs of dissonance....few passages r mind blowing even if many disagree
Another kick ass video, thanks Bernth! I love how this sounds so evil 🤟🏻
Nice class today thanks for the video 🙂 \m/
Great lesson once again. 😉👍
Very interesting. Thank you
Glad you enjoy, thanks for the kind feedback!
Thanku for these videos. Fantastic teaching and explanation
Happy you enjoy them, thanks for the feedback :)
You are a great teacher!
Your knowledge is very vast
Versatile.
Thank you Bernth!
Fucking sick just what I'm looking for
I'm actually surprised how little there is out there with 4 notes per string. Its definitely a huge part of Dimebags arsenal. I cant think of one solo he does that doesn't have 4 notes per string in it somewhere...usually the parts where its stupid fast too. Hes good like that lol
Brings me a dragons 🤘
Fantastic
In an cery distant past when I was learning guitar I learned the dim dom scale that jazz players. Is it the same scale? The shape from strings D to small E is quite the same!!
Diminished is underrated
It great
Octatonic Scale is another name for this scale.
Octatonic means 8 notes, which is a quality of this scale, but the diminished scale is a more practical name for how it could be used. Just my thoughts.
❤
Have you got any tips for new 7 string players?
I personally use mine in standard tuning with an additional low B string on the bottom - that makes visualizing scales, arpeggios and more easier for me personally :) Maybe that helps a bit, great lesson topic for the future!
You should learn with standard 6 string properly first
@@134subscribers3lol no
It's really confusing that the guitar is oriented so the high end of the fretboard is on the left :(
That’s Hungarian major scale if I am not mistaken?
🙏🏼🙌🏼🤘🏼
what about making riffs with it? like cannibal corpse is there any rules?
Look into chromatic voice leading. There's also the half-whole diminished scale, which may has some wicked melodic capabilities.
Yeah more "modern" scale or stuff for modern metal ...or maybe desth metal scale and technique....
The random notes were BOSS no pun intended i hate boss gear....... My mama said its the DEVIL!
Hey man, my Katana Amp ain't all that bad.
@@Wolf-se7wc nah im just joshing ya lol.... Im just not fond of their reg distortion pedal. The metal core one is actually really nice.... Honestly though I took a chance and paid $30 for a Tom's line holy war micro distortion pedal with true bypass and with my Orange Tiny Terror I get the most incredible sounding distortion/Overdrive out of it you would think that I paid thousands of dollars for the setup when it's just a $600 7 string Schecter $250 for the Tiny Terror is 30 bucks for the pedal LOL
@@skullpan3748 hell yeah brother
Jeff Loomis someone?
john petrucci dominates this scale
Gak bisa bahasa enggres
Русский ?)
Doesn’t sound melodic at all !!! Terrible !! 😨😰🤦🏻♂️
It's the diminished scale, it is supposed to be dissonant
There is some neat uses for it. While im not a huge fan of the vocals, listen to the album Gallery of Suicide by Cannibal corpse and you will hear some nice hacks with this scale. And also Pat OkBrien just nails this scale all over the neck incredibly.
