Re: The EVH Scale

Wasnt really all that confusing to me.



When at first reading the OP I kinda took that to mean a movable 134 pattern straight up and down from E to E. Id think it was movable because there were no frets marked. Its just a pattern.



I took that as more a visual aid, saying for example if your start at the 6th string 5th fret and moved down from there etc. He said "and so on", so I would gather that the same thing on the G, B and High E strings are implied.

Exactly. Thank you.

I always thought that some of Ed's speed runs sounded like better executed versions of what Jimmy Page was trying to do, without his fingers caught in the strings.

we've been trolled.

Actually it's

00-0 and 0-00

Re: The EVH Scale

It's been a while since I listened to him, but to the best of my memory I haven't heard him do any full vertical up and down scales that cover all 6 strings, so while that pattern may apply for a chunk of 2 or 3 strings, I would call them portions of a scale not the 'EVH scale'

..because otherwise that actually covers every note on the guitar except the major 7th. Its like an Aeolian scale on the bottom and a Dorian b9 on the top..

Re: The EVH Scale

Symmetrical scales, anyone?

Start on the Low E string, play a pattern that's in key, then keep using that same pattern on the A, D, G, B, and high E strings.

Briefly, you will be outside, but step back in once you land on that high E string (if not sooner).

Eddie-Jazz....very effective at convincing people you're some fusion God, but with minimal effort. :scratchch

Re: The EVH Scale

pattern playing isn't unique to Ed, lots and lots of players do it, there are an infinite number of patterns and symmetries and lots of teachers suggest it as a way to discover new lines outside of the box, but I guess it's kind of a tribute to say that's what "the Ed scale" is.

Oh, of course...I was actually the one who invented them. :cool2:
