Learn How To Play Guitar
I know for a fact that virtually everyone has wanted to learn how to play guitar at one time or another. I think reason is that it is a very cool instrument.
Maybe that is because nowadays guitars would be a lot more accessible as well as the guitars have become a great deal less expensive. Guitars also can be easily taken with you much more than keyboards or some other instruments that makes it more convenient.
Guitars would be also a great deal less complicated to learn than some of the other instruments would be. Add to that the reality that several rock 'n' roll icons as well as country and western headliners utilize guitars. Though it's a shame that a lot of people that started out didn't pursue it, it's nice to realize that we'll never be without great guitarists in the world.
How to play guitar scales isn't for novice guitar players. This would be for individuals who are already familiar with how to play the guitar, even if you only know the fundamentals, and would like to advance even more on your musical path. If you're not familiar with the various guitar parts, then maybe you had better begin with the basics prior to trying to learn the guitar scales.
If you really want to start learning scales I recommend you start with the pentatonic scale.
Anything you can do when you are learning how to play guitar or any instrument for that matter will make a difference. The pentatonic scale contains only 5 notes compared to the major scale that contains 7 notes. By removing 2 notes allows the scale pattern to be 2 notes a string compared to the major scale which requires 3 notes per string.
When learning the first pattern of the pentatonic scale you are actually learning 2 scales the Major and the Minor scale. Why? The same pattern is used for both it all depends on which finger you use to start the scale. If you start the pattern using your index finger the scale will resolve to minor, if you start the pattern with your pinky finger the scale will resolve Major. We sometimes tell our students to think of it as happy finger sad finger.
I would love to cover everything there is about the pentatonic scale but that would be a huge article. Till next time,
