Do any of you know what scales are used in folk/viking metal?
PostPosted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 1:46 pm


Harmonic Minor
ex.

---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------1-2--------------------
--------0-2-3-------------------6-7--
-0-2-3-------------------5-7-8------
-------------------5-7-8-------------


Phrygian
ex.
------------------------------------------------------------------12-13-15-
-----------------------------------------------------12-13-15--------------
-----------------------------------------12-14-16--------------------------
----------------------------12-14-15---------------------------------------
---------------12-14-15----------------------------------------------------
-12-13-15------------------------------------------------------------------


That's all that I could think of...I would assume just harmonic scales and minor scales...

Thanks man heart
I have started writing a song, it is kind of Heidevolk-style in my opinion, but I want to add some epic sounding Ensiferum-type riffs too

I get lost with names, I always have to look them up. Also, I don't even think when I'm playing a scale really...all the scales I like mesh together...

lol.


I suppose I could learn, I can pretty much just pick something up and focus on it and learn it real easy. I just don't have the need to learn them at the moment.

I don't have the need to, but I love to write music so I have. They are really important for solo's, and just practicing them helps your technique a lot. You should buy a book of scales

By the way, I use the phrygian a LOT but altered a bit, I forget what it's called, or maybe I just mistakedly started playing these notes alot but I'll type it out for you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------12-13-16*-
--------------------------------------------------------------------12-13-15---------------
-------------------------------------------------13*-14*-16-17---------------------------
---------------------------------12-14-15-17----------------------------------------------
----------------12-14-15-17---------------------------------------------------------------
-12-13-15-16------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I added extra notes which get played repeatedly if you go through each note, but it helps sometimes if you're writing and you have to find the closer note -.-

The *s are emphasized notes, they make the scale more distinct IMO. And the last set "12-13-16" is really sick, although it's not very folkish, sounds more middle eastern/egyptian, which is sometimes cool.

I don't know how to play guitar or bass....ar anything that requires scales.

And I'm sure I could learn from the internet, rather then spending money on books. I have low cash right now.

find a guitar, pick it up, start playin razz

Don't need books to tell you how to play a note -.- work on from there. I picked up my dads old guitar when I was 10 or 11 and just started playing notes, It eventually made sense and I learned how to read tablature which is a lot WORSE than sheet music, but it gets the job done.

Indeed. If I were to play guitar I wouldn't bother with reading music at first. The guitarist in my band never played guitar until about a year ago....and hes good. He jsut picked it up and started making songs....and watching people on youtube and now he's better then a lot of people I've seen who have been playing for four years.
