The flatted fifth has been called the Devil's interval, and people were actually executed "back in the day" for writing songs that used this interval. The flatted fifth is the chromatic passing note between the four and the five in the scale - the so-called "blues note".

Beethoven Devil's interval??? The opening notes to Beethoven's 5th symphony are GGG to Eb. This would be a Major 3rd.

Never heard of Devil's interval before. I've heard of augmented 4th or diminished 5th.

the devil cried

like any chords,you need to put your conscious,energy in it,dark or pure,doesn't matter,but not only musical logic and knowledge you haveotherwise one will sound like these loosers going to berklee's,ect,,why all bands sucks nowadays,because its all superficial,no real emotions in their playing,playing malmsteen licks will take hours of practicing,(love malmsteen btw)but you'll do it playing style like iommi very different its involve more than sitting and practicing,its creative through emotions,anxiety,fears,,,its why his songs are so meaningful after 40 fucking years of guitar,why guys like iommi are still the cherry on the cake?with all these million of guitar players around the world,,,nothing new,worth to worship?nocreating music is something more than using logic,theory,,way more!that knowledge come from someone who is involve musically but spiritually mostlyyou're good guitar player,but blues oriented,so nothing evil there to make the devil proud using his modes,,everyone loves blues even asians

I think the flattened fifth sounds sublime. Does that make me evil? Seriously though, is there some harmonic interplay between the notes that vibrates kindly in some ears?
