Description: ►Free Djent PDF: HackMusicTheory.com/Djent Learn a music theory hack from the new Meshuggah album "Immutable". One of the most common faults in djent is that all the emphasis is placed on writing a crazy rhythm, but then that rhythm is often played on one note. How disappointing! So, here’s a hack from Meshuggah to fix this fault. Meshuggah use arguably the most djenty scale: the octatonic. This 8-note scale is made by repeating the pattern of one semitone followed by one whole tone. So, instead of djenting your riff away on only one note, add a melodic run into it using the octatonic scale. That way you’ll have a crazy rhythm and a crazy melody! --- ABOUT Hack Music Theory is the fast, easy and fun way to make music.
