I Used to Think Theory Was for Nerds. Then I Wrote This.

I used to think theory was for nerds. Then I learned just enough of it to finish a riff on purpose. This is that song. I play each part, then show the one choice that made it. No homework. Full Song with no talking is here:    • Gravedigger - Andy Felde | Original Instru...   This started after I watched Brian Gosling’s video This Scale Unlocks Every Metal Riff You Want. He made the sound click. Go give that a watch:    • This Scale Unlocks Every Metal Riff You Want   Drop C. One scale, the Phrygian Dominant — that’s the pissed-off Egyptian thing. Chorus is four chords and they’re only two notes each. Then the riff comes back with a harmony, then a breakdown with a saucy lead.
