anybody know any badass scales?

i wanna know what the most badass rock and roll scale is. can anybody post one up?

yeah the E (correct me if it isn't E) mixolydian scale Rhoads used for the Crazy Train solo

e----------------------------------------------17-19^21----------
B-------------------------------------14-15-17-------------------
G----------------------------13-14-16----------------------------
D-------------------12-14-16-------------------------------------
A----------12-14-16----------------------------------------------
E-12-14-16-------------------------------------------------------

and the A melodic Minor scale (mostly for hard rock and metal)

e--------------------------------7-8-10---------------------------
B-------------------------6-9-10----------------------------------
G-------------------5-7-9-----------------------------------------
D-------------6-7-9-----------------------------------------------
A-------5-7-8-----------------------------------------------------
E-5-7-8-----------------------------------------------------------

But you can do any minor or major pantatonic scale and make is sound hard rock like slash and zakk wylde does.

Sweet, ill try em out. thanks!

yeah try em on heavy distortion and lots of overdrive. And if you want that slash epic guitar solo sound, put you tone down to 1.73 and put on about half reverb and a little echo and full overdrive, and 1/4 distortion and you will get that "november rain" guitar solo kind of sound. Sounds kinda like steve vai as well now that I think about it...

Sweet!

cool scales? ll scaales are cool, just u gotta play them so they sound awsome and not like scales.

EMB is correct, its just how you make the scale feel. Ive made metal shred riffs with phrygian scales, and major scales, even pentatonic scales. Its all about the note placement, in comparison with the chord progression.

i see what you guys are saying. basicly, theres no magic super scale!

yeah pretty much.

harmonic minor and hungariun minor sound cool, gives a darker sound to it

Mixolydian was mainly used in Jazz, never really classed it for Rock and Roll before. That's a first.

OH NO! CAT FIGHT!!!!

haha

Both are right.
Jazz and Blues both have heavy use for myxolydian, though a lot of blues players only use pentatonic and blues scales.
