metal doesn't use pentatonic scale. Unless they're Judas Priest, or other crappy so called metal bands. Real metal bands use a wide variety of scales

There isn't a scale that is used in 'most metal solos'. I've heard every kind of scale (and non-scale in the case of Slayer) in metal soloing.

middle eastern music uses 24 tone scales that includes quarter tones. The melodic minor scale was used in classical music, but in it's current popular form (no changes when descending) is something used commonly in jazz. The phrygian dominant or harmonic minor scales may sound a bit more 'middle eastern', but only to us westerners.

Most metal solos are NOT done in petatonic, you're obviously drunk.

most metal solos are in the pentatonic scale.

Listen to the song "Perennial Quest" by a band named Death; the solo is in G Melodic minor. Amazing.

x2. Most metal solos are in this.

Sorry guys, but u need to give this a chance. This scale will help u to play outside once u get used 2 it. This scale has a very Mid- Eastern sound and we are not used to it however; trust me on this it will help u with your playing in the future and allows for many more options when you're soloing...
