Awesome player, Mr. Skolnick.
Not sure if playing different scales up and down qualifies as 'inventing', though. |

I remember being taught this in college but i've totally forgotten how it works. Would there be any chance that you can show what patterns these are?

Melodic Minor is melodic minor ascending, natural minor, descending.
If you list your gear in your signature, you're a prick.

He' plays evey year with the TSO tour. I know he's got the bug for metal or rock. It's evident on his Jazz project records ( you can hear him really get into the "zone" when the guitar sound gets dist'd).
Dunno why he just doesn't get back into it.. Born of Fire//--\\ Consumed by it Divinitus Infallibilis |

Once you get past the first octave, you can start doing polytonal scales -- that's where it really starts to get interesting ... and bizarre. I agree with the comment that two different scales -- one ascending, the other descending, isn't exactly inventing. IMO, the only truly "inventive" guitar players are those in Allan Holdsworth and Robert Fripp's category.
