And is Ionian VERY motifical of Metallica...
Myxolydian scale is Massively common in Rock and if you do not hear Myxolydian in Metallica your retarded and tone def. Hammet also Favors Dorian but there is tons of Myxolydian phrasing in his work.
For example "Ride The Lightening" as the most simple example.
Oh god...
You fucking with me right? LOL!

I'm fucking with you!? Sorry but I'm getting the same impression from you're posts .. because they make no fucking sense.
"Ionian. = C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C

Ok first of all... I'm going to give you a theory lesson because you're either high/drunk or you don't know what you're talking about.
Ionian is the major scale. It is the simplest scale in music theory because it contains no flats or sharps. In fact.. Ionian is the first thing you learn when you begin to study music theory because EVERYTHING relates back to Ionian. I was assuming that you already knew that but after reading your post there it's obvious that you don't.
It is a diatonic scale (which means each note is different.. ie: you can't have F and F# in the key .. otherwise it's chromatic, not diatonic).. which means it has 7 notes .. which also means it has 7 modes.
The 7 modes are Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian.
Now if you understood that.. and you read what I said.. I said that Hammet prefers aeolian and phrygian. The only thing that has to do with Ionian is that the key signature is the same. They are completely different tonal centers to be playing in.
Now listen to what the fuck you just said .. 'cause I'm still trying to figure this one out:
"Ionian. = C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
Is the standard phrasing in Metallica."
Derr.... huh ? Ionian is the standard phrasing?! That makes no sense.
By phrasing I mean how you construct your melodies. Not what key signature you're playing in. Of course if you're playing in Aeolian you're key signature is the same Ionian .. that has nothing to do with with phrasing!
I won't get into a debate about whether or not Mixo is played in rock or not. In my opinion and experience I wouldn't really chose Mixo to play a metal tune because of it's natural 3rd .. but whatever .. if you say so ...
But this doesn't really matter anyway. Technique doesn't really make the guitarist. I guess when I originally made my post I was trying to describe how limited Hammet was because he loves to limit himself to 2 out of the 7 major modes.. especially when you can break out of Ionian all together. I've never heard him play in a harmonic key .. or do any kind of aharmonic comping .. but whatever.
The point was phrasing .. not his understanding and application of music theory.
