scales sho you what you can play if you want to make songs. there are a lot of rules in music and one of them is you have got to stick to the scale you are playing in. now if you know about the notes and where they are on your guitar. this section will be a lot easier. i will show you the E major scale. this is for playing in E. the way i have displayed the info below is tab. to use it imagine that your bottom E string is the one line at the bottom of the diagram. the numbers on the diagram show which frets to play. read it from left to right like a book.
e:-------------------------------- | remember notes 2, 3, 5 and 6 are played as minors when played as chords. also if you want to play in a different key move the whole structure up to the note you want to play in. |
