In this UG.TV exclusive, Chris Letchford of instru-metallers, Scale The Summit shows us how to play the absolutely dizzying "Glacial Planet." The song is available on their recently released Carving Desert Canyons album. Fans of Cynic, Atheist, and shred guitar in general will adore Scale The Summit's forward-thinking brand of metal.

SchecterC-1+Man :

This wasn't the best example of great instructions, I agree, but GAWD that melody is incredible. Their new CD is some of the best instrumental metal I've heard in forever. Awesome stuff man!

Ahh, I love this band, great instrumental metal, and incredibly inspirational. And they're from Houston! Woo Texas!

manmanster :

His introduction, and mention of chord structures and some more advanced chord theory, led me to believe this was going to be some sort of awful sweeping mess. I was surprised, brilliant lick and playing.

This guy is very nice. Go on their Myspace, and ask him what the best way to drink Dr. Pepper is!

If anyone wants a powertab or a normal tab of this i SHOULD have one finished by tomorrow, no promises but i will have one done if not by tomorrow, my e-mail is joeliejubba_AKA_pop-n-fresh@hotmail.com

Btw, this melody is the absolute shit! XD

SolidState85 :

I want to find a reason to badmouth this man, but I cannot. He is an exceptional guitarist as well as educated in theory. Something that is difficult to find these days. (doesn't look too metal though...)

ericonline15 :

Yeah a tab for this would be wonderful for us non-theory-savvy ug'ers

I find no reason to knock him either, this is a good short riff with a lot of substance to it. Very dense material (and yes I do hate major sweeps)

Double that, he is 24.

He's releasing a tab book for their entire new album, so that info posted on the bands youtube account.

this video was awesome! Can't wait to learn more from that album.

yeah ur right, but i guess he just wanted to remind you of the main arp shape instead of breaking it down to every note ^^
at least he says that he ends up on fret 17. so it doesn´t matter

really cool melody thumbs up

Do they have a singer? Because I checked them up and saw nothing on or about a singer.

No, they're purely instrumental.

All these guys now need is a singer(a good one) ...and they'll be right up there with cynic.
