Harmonizing Guitars

I was at a God Forbid concert the other night, and there were a lot of good bands playing. One thing I noticed a lot of was the two guitar harmonies, and dual soloing.

Maybe I sound like an idiot for asking, but I was wondering what kinda tips and tricks some of the other rocks were doing out there to sink in good harmonies, and solos.

Or maybe someone can point me in the direction of a decent site that can teach me a little more about the musical theory.

I just know that the metal bands today don't use the pentatonic scales in their solos... well, atleast it doesn't appear that way. Was wondering what a few cool licks I could practice maybe or theories i could study.

Thanks.

Maybe if you found Andy Powell from Wishbone Ash he could help you .... I remeber the 70s well!!! He's bald now - well its better than being dead!

modes, major and minor.

check those scales out, p[entatonic scales are more geared towards the blues sound.

harmonies - a simple harmony that will work regardless of what key your in is a harmony in thirds (or fifths). this means for each not you want to harmonise add three semitones to that not and you have the not that the harmony part will play instead of that note, the same applies if you wish to use a harmony in fifths. experiment with this.

Learn your modes and how they interact with chords.. its really a simple way to harmonize... just seperate your scale harmonies by more then one tone.. for instance.. a simple harmony would be like.. playing an Aminor scale over an Aminor chord.. and harmonizing with a phrygian mode in the same key.. so a c phrygian..

I don't think there's such a thing as a "phrygian chord" unless you mean b9sus?

I forgot I posted on this thread last week! Ha! Man this forum must move slow!
