Hey!

As a guitarist for seven years, it wasn't up until now I figured out my first scale for a kind of horror-feel. Amazingly enough, after a couple of runs around the scale, I discovered that this scale is in fact the scale used by Synyster Gates in several of the Avenged Sevenfold tracks. A good example is the guitar duel and the solo in 'Afterlife'. Basically, the scale is like this.

E---|---------------8-10-12-13-15-17-18-20
B---|----------8-10------------------------
G---|---7-9-10-----------------------------

Say what you wanna say, but to me this is quite the big one. I've been playing around looking for that scale for a looong time, and suddenly did by slump.

And by the way; what scale is this anyway?

So; am I the only one to have discovered a scale out of pure coinsidence?
