Lesson on Scales on the Guitar

[ Back to Guitar Alliance Demo Lessons ]

 

A lot of people get confused when it comes to scales because most books, magazines, and other instructional material on them make them out to be more complicated than they really are.

Scales are the building blocks of music. They are a sequence of notes that provide a road map for just about everything including chord construction, chord progressions, song-writing, and soloing. Understanding scales is about as essential to a guitarist's survival as water is to a fish.

Below is a link to an introduction to scales for the guitar, plus you'll get a detailed look at the open C scale pattern. You'll learn the answers to burning questions, such as: "What's the most commonly used guitar scale?" , "How many scale patterns do I need to learn?", and much more!
