Protect the Shire, Slay The Dragon, Hunt for Treasure in Egypt...

All of these scenarios need epic music to go with them, don't you agree?

In movies, and in heavy metal music we often find the use of exotic scales to help set the scene.

As guitarists we need to know what the scales are and how to create the mood we want.

But what are they and how do we find them?

The truth is that many of the most expressive exotic sounds are not contained in traditional scales and modes.

We need to dig a little deeper and look to Asia, the Middle East and India to uncover the "secrets" we need.

Enter: RISING DRAGON!

Rising Dragon

In Rising Dragon you will instantly be transported to the magical lands of Asia, Egypt, and Arabia as you learn epic sounding scales and how to use them. Nick Layton and Jay Parmar have created an unforgettable course full of great licks and exotic scales.

You'll study the Japanese Hirajoshi scale that Marty Friedman has used, the Hungarian minor that players like Ritchie Blackmore, Randy Rhoads, David T. Chastain and others have used. Plus rare Indian scales that musicians like Ravi Shankar used to great effect, and much more!
