if i know minor and major pantatonic ascales and major scale. what is the next thing i should be lern?

Once you learn any scale you should start writing melodies with it. Melodic minor, Harmonic minor, Diminished, Whole Tone/Augmented......etc.

[osifomrygonen]

?how do you know where you needs to start the next positions

[johnhguitar]

Just use the first one and move it around. Its first note is the root note. All the other positions fall into place by following that one around. Understand? Sorry for any confusion.

[osifomrygonen]

1. how you know where you need to start in the next scale

3. those 7 scales are correct just to C or I can use they in A for exemple

[johnhguitar]

Move the positions down 3 frets and you're in A. Understand?

Wow pro lesson

[johnhguitar]

When I just want to play simple stuff I go with a down-picking style using a lot of bending, hammer-ons and pull-offs. It's like hitting a drum on the top rather than striking up from the bottom. People might say they have perfect timing with their up-stroke but that's them and I'm me. I do this for me and not for them. Playing guitar is not a religion where we all have to file into a line to get slapped by God when we go our own way.

[osifomrygonen]

@osifomrygonen I think I know what you mean you take every note from the C scale and play his scale

I mean F is the 4 NOTE so is the 4 scale and its start at the 1 frat becuase its F ?

[osifomrygonen]

@ johnhguitar actually no, I am not understand why the 4 position is start at 1 frat?

How do yo know that the 2 position start at 10 and 3position start at 12

thanks for help [=

[osifomrygonen]

@johnhguitar yes thats what i thought ' Intervals are the same(ton' half aton..etc) just in different places on the frat Board
