Guitar Scales - A Reference Video

This video plays 11 major scales, note by note, with sound. Each scale section shows fret positions, key signature, tab and musical notation. You can use this with my "How To Build Guitar Chords" video as an aid to constructing chords in different keys.

A summary of these scales is available as a downloadable and printable file from the "tabs" link on my website:

What about the minors?? Is there a video on that as well?

[HenfieldWill]

@turkishpower08 No - I haven't done a separate video for minor scales. In general, flattening the 3rd note of the scale gives you the minor - but there are ascending and descending minor scales, so it's not quite as straightforward. :-)

i dont get it why i cant just find all the notes of major scale by this pattern W-W-h-W-W-W-h on ONE string. Why do i need to move to other strings

[HenfieldWill]

@Bazgann Well of course you can play a scale just on one string. Nothing to stop you. But if you want to extend that knowledge to chord construction, then playing scales across strings is a first, logical step. It's also more economical of movement to play across the fretboard, rather than up and down it.

[xorhirhiox]

the numbers confuse me :s

[Jasaxos]

So te pattern is the same for each scale?

Like the 3rd note could be minor too?

[Dschulinho]

@Bazgann you dont have to but other strings can give you other tones imagine high E and low E. and further imagine you wanna play fast with and with hammer-ons pull-offs and slides. you cant play it on one string

[Bazgann]

@HenfieldWill I see. Thanks for response.
