== Black Notes (Metal's Blue Notes) ==
Blues used minor 3rds and 7ths and diminished 5ths for a distressed sound. Thrash similarly would substitute in minor 2nds and diminished 5ths into a minor scale to get an evil or doom-inspired sound. Rather than simply using these notes in passing, they would often be accented in riffs. Here's an example in Em. m2 d5 m2 m2 d---------------------3-------------------- a-2-------3-----------1-----3-----3---2---- e-0---0-0-1---0-0-3p0-----0-1---0-1---0---- p p p p p p
