Thread: Soloing Help?

Recently I've been listening to a lot of Rhapsody and Firewind, and I've got the main body of a power metal song, I just don't know where to start. Any specific scales Firewind use? Because I really like Gus G

Please help!

Well, most guitarists use either a Major, Melodic Minor, a Blues Scale, a Minor Pentatonic, or a Major Pentatonic, or a Harmonic Minor, but some like Steve Vai like to use Lydian or Dorian. At least those are some of the ones I use depending on the key.

dude i just recently started working with some diminished 7 arpeggio's and it seems to me alot of those metal guys(and more too im sure) are using alot of those in there tunes. like for instance:
C diminished 7
a-3
d-1,4
g-2
b-1

e diminished 7
d - 2
g - 0,3
b - 2
e - 0

a diminished 7
g - 2
b - 1,4
e - 2,5

go up and down those to form a pretty cool lil lick. gonna have to stay adding those into some of my bass playing for some bass sweeps Check it out and lemme know if u dig it and dig hose types of riffs.
