Styles and Theory: Although neoclassical rock/metal differs in theory and structure than neoclassical orchestral music, there are distinct styles and progressions that make a rock/metal piece neoclassical. The complexity of keys and scales make playing neoclassical rock/metal difficult without a strong foundation in music theory. In contrast to most music, neoclassical rock/metal often switches keys in the middle of the song to compliment each other and allow for more artistic freedom. Seldom used scales such as diminished seventh arpeggios are a staple. Because this scale consists of only minor thirds, soloing becomes easier with the ability to start on any given note in the scale and it not sound wrong. Pentatonic scales are also prevalent and conveniently have the same picking structure as minor thirds on the guitar. Playing back and forth between the two scales is common and a good example of how neoclassical rock/metal uses different scales stacked on top of each other to progress melodic ideas.
