Members decemberflower Posted March 3, 2003 Members Posted March 3, 2003 What scales would I use to solo over these chords? E5 | D5 | C5 | B5
Members mattoxxx Posted March 3, 2003 Members Posted March 3, 2003 C major scale should work. B lydian should also sound good and also E minor pentatonic. use your ear. try and record the chords and practice soloing over them.
Members geeoff Posted March 3, 2003 Members Posted March 3, 2003 You could use e minor pentatonic and also g major, scince it is the relative major of e.
Members djmojo Posted March 3, 2003 Members Posted March 3, 2003 All those notes are also in Am, so if you are looking for something "unorthodox" try that... or if the chords are separate, maybe its basically one chord per bar, try playing a mode over all of them, you can have alot of room on those cause they are power chords, so you could try something like E phygerian | D phygerian | A Aeolian (Am I talked about) | and end in something like B Mixolydian the phygerian will start with some cool tension, then you go to soemthing diatonic with the whole progression, semi release, followed by a really jazzy upbeat mode in the key of your final chord... this would work really well if you land on the B at the end and your next section of music goes right into some B mixo or Major grove... this is the kind of stuff Im experimenting with at the moment.
Members WattsUrizen Posted March 3, 2003 Members Posted March 3, 2003 That progression looks like the one that Iron Maiden and every other power metal band use in every song. E minor is the best bet, and the other suggestions are also quite good.

Members readybeans Posted March 8, 2003 Members Posted March 8, 2003 Originally posted by Anomandaris As an aside, it should be mentioned that the 5th chord is really just an idiosyncrasy of the guitar, as opposed to a definite chord voicing. They are used to give extra 'padding' to single melodic lines to give a thicker texture which is suitable to styles which use heavier dynamics.It's similar to the way in which octaves are frequently used in keyboard music.The point being that while F# is not in Am, the B5 chord is still heard as being very diatonic, since the F# merely affirms the B root, rather than being heard as an independent voice. A Dorian, then? That has an F#
Members nebur78 Posted March 11, 2003 Members Posted March 11, 2003 this chords can be a simplification of this progression: Em D C B7(b9) then try to play E eolian and over the B7(b9) E harmonic minor. you will sound very arabic!! E eolian: E F# G A B C D E harmonic minor: E F# G A B C D#
