Learn to Play Basic Scales on Guitar

Scale on the guitar playing method is very important reasons:


1. Scale of adequate skills will enhance the ability and strength in your fingers to play guitar.

2. Scale plays will help train the hearing or your instincts to understand or master the fine combination of notes or melodies on the guitar.

3. Proficiency Scale within the play will be very useful to a guitarist in the air-even in the creation of improvised songs.

There are 5 basic scale forms that must be acquainted with you and you should practice every day. Try the various positions on your guitar frets, but I suggest it is best around the 5th fret. Try to improvise a melody when you start to master a scale.


Once again I emphasize that, play the scale can be done at any fret on the guitar. For example, the first note you are playing on a scale such as the string-6 (E) FRET to-5 (A)will be the name of the scale of "A-Major Scale".


If you start it (not first) on the 6th string (E) 3rd fret (G), then it would be a "G-Major Scale".


Begin by learning a scale just prior to a beginner, do not learn much at the same time scale, as this will embuat you sick and tired. Try the sequence Scales suggested below, start with the Major Scale.


Once you are fluent or less smoothly deh may also play a scale, then try a combinationPicking (pick) as below:

1. Pick 2 times on each note, do the excerpts up (towards picking up) & down (towards the bottom pick), begins with a passage down (down) on the first note. Try pickingyour movements as small as possible so that movement of the picking fingers so effective.

Movement of your left fingers you should also try to be effective, that is not too far or too rigid to be of the next note you played. Do this repeatedly until your fingers become graceful dancing on your guitar.

2. Further quotes 3 ​​times on each note of the scale by the same method had been dropped and picked up (the Down and Up Picking).

3. Then pick 4 times on each note of the scale by the same method had been dropped and picked up (the Down and Up Picking).

4. Pick a time to each note, but do excerpts Down & Up. Down in notes 1, Up in the notes to the 2, Down in the notes to the third and so on. The mistake that I often encounteron pegitar autodidact is just strum down on the same string.
