Ways to learn scales across the fretboard. Uses C Major scale as example. I now teach 5 simple CAGED major shapes that are easily transposable.

just a question ... when im soloing, i find it hard to get out of the box, i add little notes in, but i cant seem to move up the frets ... any tips?

@rhysfoley09 I mention it here and also have a course called fretboard mastery where you learn 5 patterns in different areas of the neck and then connect them (CAGED) across the neck. Also when you learn a phrase/lick try playing it in different octaves locations.

Do you know this solo scale by memory? or do you just randomly come up with it.

[wkriski]

@232Reaper232 the scale is memorized, then you improvise over the scale

Learn some vertical scales. I had the same problem with my minor/major pentatonics, until i learned 2 vertical scales, and begun incorporating them in my solos and jams. Also try playing in an area of the fretboard, you are not used to. Hope it helps :)
