Guitar Lesson Overview
This time I'm exploring The Major Scale, part 1, which means there is also a Part 2. I did that because the whole lesson ended up being very long.
The Major Scale is something everyone should know inside out. Do you? I hope you find this lesson useful. I will show you a few ways of how I practice scales, and how you can do the same, in order to develop a melodic ability and a solid musicality from using scales.
I used the Classic Amps back from toontrack.com for the guitar tone. The amp model is called "Black Luxus" and I also added a bit of chorus from a plugin in Logic Pro. The guitar is a Hagstrom Viking.
You can get the scale diagram from here.
This is the 2nd edition of Q & A with yours truly. Send me your questions and I'll try to answer one per week.
