that's why you'll never write interesting music. EVERYONE can do a solo. not everyone can improvise a random one off the top of their head, only those who have scales branded into their brain.

true but people who don't know anything about theory or at least not much can also make great ideas based on the creative brain are absolute hearing.right? you dont necerly need sclaes but they can help for some and some are just like farmers just do it with the technique and no theorie but it can work out good.

@jamminjoe44 You can rely on something a famous guitarist said-All of them by the way studied like mad when they were young- or you can start learning and improving yourself not hoping to be one in a million.Plus..stevie played the blues...not need for excesive theory there....there are many blues players that dont even know the major scale..enough said.At the very least you have to train your ears like mad to compensate for the luck of proper theoretical knowledge.

Great video

I watched it a couple times and ime getting there, only scale I know perfectly is the G scale so ime trying to learn the rest.

Although I couldn't quite catch where ur fingers are on the second position.

Other than that great video, great instructions.

Stevie Ray Vaughan said this in an interview ..... He never once thought about music theory, Or what positon a scale should be played in ... He commented, that never worked for him ... What he did say worked for him was this .... He said he played from his heart, And for him there was no other way ..

@animalman1122 Not really, Paul Gilbert played for 2 years before learning musical theory. And he became a God.
